Requesting Basic Script Examples...

I have been reading through the Torque Book (Game Programming Guide to Torque).. but it seems that it is a bit outdated.


I tried implementing some scripts.. so far I can get a basic static object to load and drop from the sky.

The problem is that when I try to follow some of the examples of the book.. many of the object names have changed.. like the new MissionGroup.. I have not been able to find the replacement for the "BaseItem" class I wanted to extend like they do on the book.



So I'm simply requesting some sample scripts with basic meshes/collision data.

I want to learn more about the way torque does "animations"... so I can move a model across a plane.. etc etc.. is it just based on some transformation + loop? If so what is the best way to do this.. seeing as how something like "sleep" is not really what I want.


Basically I want to learn very basic things like being able to move an object across the screen (eventually activate a walking animation as the obj moves), collision detecting that causes an action (so picking up an item or talking to an Avatar). I'm assuming that I need to extend on the Player or Vehicle class for many of these examples? Once I am able to do these basic things I can move on to implementing more interesting things like state machines and other game AI.... which I have done in other simpler systems.. but I just can't find many useful examples for Torque 3D.


Thanks
