T3D Questions

Hello,
I'm reading the documentations to learn the T3D, and I have some question...
I already use the T2D and I can use both DataBlock and Behaviors, I saw in T3D the default is the DataBlock, I don't know yet if there something like the Behaviors too, but it didn't matter right now.
My question is, in T2D I can use the DataBlock to handle the input, damage, and all kind of stuff, and I'm reading these defaults DataBlocks and I didn't found anything about input... So, in the T3D I need to do the input source inside the C++ code or I'm looking in the wrong place???
This is my big question, and I didn't found something about it here in the forum or inside the docs...
Another question is about the World Editor, in TGEA I can change the camera to the TOP, LEFT, like the 3D Studio or Maya, this feature is amazing when you are building a level, there something like this in this new version???
All the best!

No, Behaviors do not exist in Torque 3D.
Yes, these can be changed through hotkeys (1, 2, 3, etc.. if I'm right) and also by selecting the camera mode in the right bottom corner of the World Editor.
Good luck! :)
