My boss has another account i used but i dont have the password for that so i created one in order to use these forums. I have a couple of questions:
1.i created a new level but for some reason the spawn nodes where the vehicle should spawn wont spawn the vehicle. WHy is this happening????

2.Im crating a simultor, old people with no technological experience are going to be using this. I only say this cause last time i asked this question i got a stupid response 'o why would you want to restrict people. Anyway the question is how do i make it so th car doesnt go outside the parameters of the area i want it to stay in????basically i need an invisible barrier around my mission area so that when the customers are driving they cant get loss and then are never able to make it back to the mission area. Does anyone out there know how to do this???i appreciate any help.

I'd say the easiest way to create an invisible barrier would be to create some invisible walls as DTS files (you could do it with DIF files, but I understand transparency in DIF requires an engine hack - if you're comfortable with that, it's probably the better way to do it) and then you can manually place your invisible walls.

Triggers can be placed directly in the Torque editor and could be used to constrain your models as well.

@Cliff: Invisible walls can be created with the NULL texture, no hacks required.
