There will come a time when we want to record a game session out to a video file. There are a number of third-party tools that can do this, and some of them support a number of different file formats. Torque 3D also supports direct recording of its display to a Theora format video file which is a cross-platform, open format. In this recipe we will start and stop video recording using a key press from within Torque 3D.
We will be making TorqueScript changes in a project based on the Torque 3D Full
template, and try them out 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!
