Newbie question about datablocks
by Feather · in Technical Issues · 08/04/2008 (12:20 am) · 1 replies
I am learing to use TGB version 1.7.2.
Going through the Tutorials, I notice that people use a lot datablocks in those out of date Tutorials and there is no datablocks example or script found in any current game Tutorials.
Is it true that newer version of TGB do not need to use datablocks???
Thanks for helping.

In TGB 1.5 behaviors were added. They can be used to do some of the same things that previously only config datablocks ( aka t2dSceneObjectDatablocks ) could do, and some new things, like expose editable fields to the editor. But configDatablocks remain very useful and you should try to understand both of them.
Make sure you are looking at TGB tutorials/scripts and not TGE/TGEA because a datablock in TGE is a somewhat different thing.
