Player and vehicle combination.

I am creating a vehicle only based game and I am sure this question is easily answered, but I need the vehicles the pretty much be the players. Do i create a invisible player and have it mount the vehicle or do I create a vehicle and just add the properties that I would to a normal player to the vehicles data block. I am rather new to torque scripting and am not sure how the datablocks work 100%. I am missing the default scripting reference with all my variables its right in front of me I know it, anyone care to point me in the proper direction?

To fix misunderstanding of my level of knowledge :)
I need to add variables like health and ammo to vehicles, because I have no players, only vehicles. I am not executing player.cs, only the vehicle script file I created. I have been able to get proper physics and springs and particle emmitors and sounds, but how can I add to the vehicle health armor energy and other things like that, custom variables to the datablock.

Nevermind found the damage and eneergy bar tutorial in the forums. No idea what that nitro dealy is though, running a mac right now and I am no mood to try running that in VPC :)

#2 if you have bought it then all you have to do is go into the example folder and open main.cs with notepad. Then change the line $defaultGame = "starter.fps"; to $defaultGame = "starter.racing"; and run the the game.
