In game terms, a jump jet is often a backpack, a helicopter hat, or a similar device that a player wears, that provides them a short thrust upwards and often uses up a limited energy source. This allows a player to reach a height they normally could not, jump a canyon, or otherwise get out of danger or reach a reward. In this recipe we will learn how to allow a player to jump jet.
We will be making TorqueScript changes in a project based on the Torque 3D Full
template using the Empty Terrain
level. If you haven't already, use the Torque Project Manager (Project Manager.exe
) to create a new project from the Full
template. It will be found under the My Projects
directory. Then start up your favorite script editor, such as Torsion, and let's get going!
