Can't exec in a datablock..doh!

#1 You can copy datablock data pretty easily... like this:

datablock ShapeBaseData(BlockA)
{
   // Some fields...

   foo = 1;
   bar = 3;
   zap = 7;
}

datablock ShapeBaseData(BlockB : BlockA)
{
   // First BlockA's fields get set here...
   // Then your fields take effect

    zap = 9;
    sing = 2;
}

So in this example, BlockB would have foo=1, bar=3, zap=9, sing=2.

#2 Kool..thanx (almost like inheritence eh?)

#3 Almost, but not quite. ;)

#4 Ben, can you explain the namespace (event callback) hierarchy for datablocks again? I remember reading this in a doc recently, but can't find it anywhere in the docs anymore.

#5 I don't understand... The rules for datablocks are pretty much the same as for everything else.

#6 Basically I need to create unique characters that respond to their own events ( not all objects created with the same datablock), but will the datablock inheritance model pertain to datablock events as well?
