New TerrainBlock on the fly

I't possibile to register a new TerrainBLock on the fly ?

I've tryed with this
function loadTerr()
{
	dataBlock TerrainBlock(Terrain2) 
	{
		rotation = "1 0 0 0";
		scale = "1 1 1";
		terrainFile = "./newMission.ter";
		squareSize = "8";
		emptySquares = "99744 443522 443778 444034";
		bumpScale = "1";
		bumpOffset = "0.01";
		zeroBumpScale = "8";
		locked = "true";
		position = "0 0 0";
	};

	%newTerr = new TerrainBlock()
	{
		dataBlock = Terrain2;
	};
}

but doing loadTerr() from console tells me that it cannot
register new Object Terrain2 for class TerrainBlock.

There's something wrong in the code or it's totally absurd ?

You cannot load more than one TerrainBlock, nor unload the TerrainBlock you've already loaded using stock Torque (while the mission is running).

I'm not talkin about rendering or managing, I'm intending
to create te TB object on the fly.

I guess I will have the same error loadgin another object
in mission, so I would like to intend well wich is the
correct way to create a datablock and load an object during
mission, such as a TerrainBlock.

Heheh great elettrozero.
we are managing another way to use infinite terrains . we are very very near to the completation (we not use TM, but studied it very much)..
Sure that if we can solve this, we will share the resource.
