Using PathCamera: errors creating outside demo?

by Keith Johnston · in Torque Game Engine · 05/30/2004 (7:43 am) · 3 replies

The PathCamera in the demo works great - now I am trying to use it in my own game. I'm getting these errors:

Object 'LoopingCam' is not a member of the 'GameBaseData' data block class
gamefiles/server/scripts/game.cs (258): Register object failed for object Foo of class PathCamera.

Make sure LoopingCam is a GameBaseData object?

Well I just cut & pasted the LoopingCam datablock definition from the demo:

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Path Camera
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

datablock PathCameraData(LoopingCam)
{
   mode = "";
};

It seems like the PathCameraData is unknown to the game - but I'm using the same executable I use for the demo, which has no problem creating this datablock.

I had the datablock defined in the wrong place - I moved it to be with all my other datablocks and it works now.
