Snatching path rendering from Editor

I need help snatching the path rendering from the editor and adding it to the play mode. Could anyone tell me where this is done. I need both the nodes and the path (Spline? The green arrows) rendering code.
The nodes are objects that always exist so, I should be able to take that code and move it into a spot were it will be rendered in game play or call on the render functions.
Note: I am using the RTS kit that is updated to v1.4.
I found this:
void RTSPathDebug::renderObject(SceneState *state, SceneRenderImage *image)
{
glBegin(GL_LINE);
// DRAW US A PATH OMG!!!!!!!!
for(S32 i=0; i
glColor3fv(mNodes[i].mColor);
glVertex3fv(mNodes[i].mPos);
}
glEnd();
}
in rtsPathDebug
The code above it says that it is render all the time so I am confused. Hopefully someone knows how this is done.
I also was wondering how I might go about changing both the node and path images.
I see from:
if (state->isObjectRendered(this)) {
SceneRenderImage* image = new SceneRenderImage;
image->obj = this;
state->insertRenderImage(image);
}
how it is done, but I don't completely understand torque inheritance. Oh and the last part is from simPath.cc
Thank you for any help that anyone can give

You'll need to dig around a little to really see how it all works.
It's using the cameraSpline functions value() and advanceDist();
It also uses a Catmull-Rom Spline for the generation of the curve. (I'll let you google that one up for the details + look at function mCatmullrom())
