I've made a spawn sphere to spawn my vehicle obviously, but i 've tried and tried to get it working but it won't, if anyone has knowledge in this area could they help please, i also need help on changing the look of my vehicle while it's moving, like in the soldier content pack, if anyone knows that much about scripting it would also be much appreciated, thanks

An unrelated question aswell, does anyone know where the particle emitter editor is located?

This will allow you to drop particles in and adjust them in real time.

Launch Torque and mission then Hit F5 to bring up the particle editor.This will allow you to drop particles in and adjust them in real time.

Steve u need to enable the particleeditor by removing a bugged path in the particleeditor.cs . there is a path to a directory that doesnt exist .

the exec is what needs changing. The ParticleEditor.gui is in the creator folder, not the common folder.

In creator/editor/particleEditor.cs there is a block:if (!isObject(ParticleEditor))
{
exec("common/editor/ParticleEditor.gui");
ParticleEditor.initEditor();
}
ParticleEditor.startup();the exec is what needs changing. The ParticleEditor.gui is in the creator folder, not the common folder.

Make sure this:
Load up Torque and try hitting F5, it should work.
If it still doesn't, make sure a .dso is being created for both the .cs and .gui file in the creator\editor folder.
Also, tell me what the console says after pressing F5.
P.s. You have to be in-game for the particle editor to work and not have any other editors open.

That looks right. It works with 1.4, after the above fix is implemented.Make sure this:
exec("./editor/particleEditor.cs");Is in your example\creator\main.cs file.Load up Torque and try hitting F5, it should work.
If it still doesn't, make sure a .dso is being created for both the .cs and .gui file in the creator\editor folder.
Also, tell me what the console says after pressing F5.

Have you created the dataBlock / script for your tank?
Is your GameConnection::createCar function calling the right dataBlock?
