    Close TGB and reload your project. Your behaviours should now be there.

    Maybe there's an error in the behaviors code. Helping might be easier if you post your behavior here.

    Does the code have to be error free before you can assign it as a behaviour? .. That can't be a good thing. Really counter intuitive if that's the case. It should appear in the list as long as it is a valid . Cs file even if I saved a blank .cs document

    What name should be listed in the behavior rollout if you have an empty script file? The name isn't determined by the filename of a script, it's the friendlyName field of the BehaviorTemplate instance you should create in the behavior script file. A basic behavior structure looks like this:

    if (!isObject(TestBehavior))
{
   %template = new BehaviorTemplate(TestBehavior);
   
   %template.friendlyName = "This is the name in the behavior list";
   %template.behaviorType = "This is the behavior catergory";
   %template.description  = "This text is displayed on mouse over";
}

    Hope this helps.

    Ok. I'll check the code again.
    Took a break for a while.. I'll let you know if it works

    Thanks for your help.
