How best to do this in a script?

I want to create a PID controller to be used by any AI flying behaviors (patrol, pursuit, etc). A PID controller requires persistent data for the integration sum and previous error value for a derivative component.

As far as I can tell I cannot create a new class in the script, I could create a datablock to base the PID around but in trying to create a new instance of such a datablock I got an error cannot create a new object that is not a conobject or something like that so I don't fully understand datablock instances yet.

If I create an object from an existing class, can I create new instances of this object?

Sorry for a less than clear question, the concepts are still fuzzy in my head.

I think I found my answer in the adventure kit, create it like thus:
function newFunction( ..parameters... )
{
   %object = new ScriptObject()
   {
      class = class;
      fields = ... ;
   };
   return %object;
}
