Lots of questions
« on: October 17, 2013, 07:32:44 AM »
I'll try to keep this as simple as possible, but i have a load of questions id liek help with ;-(

I want to make a board game based on a world map which contains resources. The map is created in 3d max with the territories named in the object.

How do i make the map zoom/pan etc from mouse click or touch? ( i loooked at the touch and mouse click and i couldnt assign a touch event to a mouse click action)?
How do iterate through all the game objects, get their name and then add the resource data from an excel file or sql lite database? I tried the next child action and count child and although the count was correct the next child didnt seem to step to the next child ....
How would i save the game data for each territory?
How do i set up a game loop to update the territory data based on the current game time?

Am i doing this right? What would the best way to have a large set of data, assign sections of that data to a number of game objects (models) and read that data back out, update it on a timer and save it through a user action?
