unable to instantiate non-conobject

Hey guys quick question,

I was trying to create a Pathmarker object in the world Editor but nothing would create after I hit the create button. Console output was:
1: Unable to instantiate non-conobject Class PathMarker

I also get this error when i try to create a PXCloth object. I did find a thread about a helper function in objectBuilderGui.ed.gui and added
function ObjectBuilderGui::buildPathMarker(%this)
{
	%this.className = "Marker";
	%this.process();
}

But that didn't help me (I am using beta 4). The PXCloth object was doing the same thing in beta 3 for me. Thanks for any input.

What build are you using? NewProject, FPSkit, PhysX demo?

I haven't played around with PhysX stuff so no help on that. PathMarkers work fine with NewProject.

Sounds daft but, what were your steps for trying to add a PathMarker?

1. Object Editor -> Library -> Level -> Level -> double-click PathMarker
2. Insert name -> hit "create new"
3.Receive PathMaker at previously selected drop location

Also incase you're not aware, there is no PhysX stuff integrated into anything other than the PhysX demo.

Yep thats exactly how I tired to add one. But at step 3 there is nothing added to the scene and the error message is in the console.

I was able to add a PXcloth in the physX levels and the cloths work as they should :D. Thanks for your help steve!

EDIT:
Yep, user error... I decided to double check the script i edited on friday, and some how I must have not saved the changes when i added the helper function.. But yeah it all works now :D
