Plan for Tra'Hari Vandaette

So, I've learned how, shall we say, different TorqueScript is from C++ in terms of class instantiation. At first, I thought LabRat was just being obtuse for some reason or another when he told me that [a] he never makes blank objects, and [b] that you need to declare member functions every time you create an object. The idea of wrapping it in a function seemed absurd at the time, but it's looking like that's in the list of solutions.

Another is something I'm going to try with adding the field "class = Node" in the "datablock GameBaseData( NodeData)" declaration and see if maybe I can define the member functions associated with Node thereafter. In theory, that would let me associate Node member functions with the Node class, without actually having to instantiate a class of type Node.

Unfortunately, I've been playing so much with the project in messing around with C++ code, .cs scripts, and the installation of TGEPython that I needed to wipe it all and update from CVS.

So, so we shall see how my workarounds go. I should definitely write up a tutorial explaining a lot of this. I gotta say, though, it would definitely be geared towards people with programming experience, as I don't want to explain the basics of scripting, programming, and TorqueScript all at once. There's defintely a need for this sort of thing, as I see it, and so it might come along when I have the free time (unlikely that I'll have any soon, though).
