Creating a Custom Object in C++ (problem)

#1 It may sound like a stupid question, but are you running the correct exe file? For instance, you may have compiled the DEBUG and are attempting to use the RELEASE version of the exe.

It happens to me all the time ;)

#2 I did run the right exe. The tutorial says to do this: Go to your SDK\games\T2D\gameScripts folder. Where would that be? The folder system is different then when this tutorial was made.

Shouldn't I just create a new project with the new exe. Then add my script and run? The output exe seems to be in the tgb folder.

#3 Ok.. i figuered it out by looking at this thread: http://www.garagegames.com/mg/forums/result.thread.php?qt=75443

The files you create have to be put into TGBGame not TorqueGameBuilder. Here's the new error I'm getting when running my script:

t2dItemIcon::transferDataBlock() - t2dItemIconDataBlock is invalid! ((NULL))

Any ideas??

#4 Well I don't know anything about the tutorial you are working on ... but it looks like you called transferDatablock and didn't pass it a valid datablock. Did you pass it null?

#5 I got it working now. I had used t2dSceneObject instead of t2dStaticSprite for the t2dItemIcon. Everything works now except...

The tileMapImageMap is not displayed when running the testIcon.cs file. I give up for today.

Thanks for all your help Phillip and James...

#6 Getting started is the hard part, you will start to understand all the little things in the engine and how to solve these small errors. I still find myself running into these trivial problems daily.
