OnAdd and onNewDataBlock

by Daniel Buckmaster · in Torque Game Engine · 11/04/2007 (8:05 am) · 1 replies

When are these functions called? I put echoes into them in script, but when I ran the engine, everything was quiet. Is there a function that is executed when an object is created through script or in the world editor?

    Okay, I found the answer. onAdd is called when an object is added to the scene, I think. onNewDataBlock is called when an object is assigned a new atablock. My problem was, I was adding a GameBase object. While GameBase defines scriptOnAdd and scriptOnNewDataBlock, it doesn't actually call them.
