Error: ... not a member of the 'GameBaseData' data block class

#1 @Jon

Hi. You haven't really given me enough information to answer your questions, but I'm guessing that you're running this code without a server.

That is, to create a datablock and/or a staticshape (which uses a datablock), you need to start up one of the missions (either in the FPS starter kit that comes with Torque or in the GPGT Lesson Kit).

If this does not help, please give me some details surrounding your usage/testing of this code. i.e. What kit you're running, what files you placed this code in, what mission you're running.

Also, for the datablock example try this in the console after 'creating' the datablock:

echo( isObject( myFirstDatablock ) );

If this prints 0, then the datablock was not created and the subsequent step where we use the datablock to make a static shape won't work.


On a side note: I set up threads in this forum branch for each of the chapters here:

I know that posting to the same threads will make for a long thread over time, but it helps keep non-unique issues organized.

Also, I've provided an errata document on my GPGT Support Page which may cover other issues you will run into.
