If it turns out you need something that it doesn't have, you can probably find a free mod to do it. That's always easier than programming it yourself.

Just so everyone knows, Torque can animate wheeled vehicles without the need for anyone creating any animations. If you want wheeled vehicles, animations are not a problem.

Right now, YourPersona is doing a similar project, so I'm content to watch. My company's doing pretty good, so I don't have the free time I did a few months ago.

QUOTE (Radruin @ Nov 30 2007, 11:56 AM) Does Torque have any tutorials on how to network a FPS? I recall reading somewhere that they had a tutorial on how to do it for an MMORPG, but that's not what we want; I think FPS games require faster response time than typical MMORPGs do Torque comes with a ...

QUOTE (Radruin @ Nov 28 2007, 03:16 PM) I think Data's point is that it's too CPU- or GPU-intensive to be worth it. Really, a sensor equivalent (sort of like a short-duration ballistic-trajectory probe, shot from a gun) might be easier. Perhaps overpowered though. Here are some alternative methods ...

QUOTE (Andon @ Nov 14 2007, 07:57 PM) Torque can easily do the 'sectors' and 'alephs' - you just have the map set to be a hole and only have land on the sectors, with a scipt to kill anyone that goes out. Alephs would be your teleporter. The thing that I'm worried about is the way that the tech tre...

QUOTE (Cadillac @ Nov 12 2007, 01:39 PM) I had a chat with wyld, and he helped me figure out how to make some of these things, so I might be making some stuff. If you're using Torque, keep in mind that vehicle models should come in several different parts. Separating every vehicle into chassis, sho...
