Datablocks in scripts

#1 Inheriting a datablock only inherits all the data values (which you can override). Its not very similar to C++ at all. Its useful for if you need a class that is pretty much the same except for one or two variables.

#2 Check the documentation:

There is a Class Hierarchy Diagramm.

All classes, that are derived from: SimDataBlock are DataBlock classes.

There are around 30 of them.

#3 But isn't a datablock an equivalent to a C++ class, and an object to a class instans?

Markus Nuebel: So I need a licens to get this documentation?

#4 Since I am a licensee I have access to the whole documentation.
Some parts of the doc are public available, but I cannot say, how much this is.

Check the Torque SDK page, I think there is an entry point to the public doc.

-- Markus

#5 The Class Hierarchy Diagram you talk about is not available (from what I can find).

Are there descriptions of the datablocks in this Class Hierarchy Diagram, or is it just the names?

#6 I know this thread is a couple months old, but for anyone who is interested, I wanted to note that script-specific datablock documentation is forthcoming. In fact, I hope we can put it on the site next week.

As for the Class Hierarchy Diagram, it is only available to Torque licensees, so that may be why some are not able to view it. For those of you who can see it, the portion of this documentation regarding DataBlocks is available here. Click the links in the images on the page to see information on each datablock sub-class.

#7 I had find you all over the university ,now you are coming with all my need .
i love you .^-^
