Trying to add a new vehicle class

by Richard Marrevee · in Torque 3D Professional · 08/11/2011 (11:49 am) · 2 replies

I am trying to add a new sort of vehicle class, so I copied most of the wheeledvehicledata and wheeledvehicle code into this new class and ripped all the wheel stuff. Rebuild the engine which did ok.

In script I setup a new datablock for this new class and some onAdd functions and so, all is well, but when I try to add this thing in the world editor I get a message in the console:

<input> (0): Unable to find function MyNewVehicleData::Create

Now the question is: what am I doing wrong? Looking at wheeledVehicleData I can't find a create function. Or is this a script part?

Help is appreciated.

Thanks anyway

    On tools/worldEditor/gui/objectBuilderGui.ed.gui, after this:
    (around line 1080)
    function HoverVehicleData::create(%block)  
{  
   %obj = new HoverVehicle()  
   {  
      dataBlock = %block;  
      parentGroup = EWCreatorWindow.objectGroup;  
   };  
   return(%obj);  
}

    Add:
    function MyNewVehicleData::create(%block)  
{  
   %obj = new MyNewVehicle() {  
      dataBlock = %block;  
      parentGroup = EWCreatorWindow.objectGroup;  
   };  
   return %obj;  
}
