A few questions

I bought TGEA a few days ago and have a few questions if anyone can help?
I don't know where to ask the following so I'll just stick them here!
Translating objects in mission editor is way too fast and they often fly off into the distance at the slightest mouse movement. Can I slow this down somehow?
Is there a way to pause the game while in the mission editor to stop things falling hard to the ground?
Is there an option to reload scripts without having to restart the entire game?
And the main question:
What base class should I derive new objects from? I can derive from StaticShape and it seems to work fine but I notice that Player is derived from ShapeBase.
But if I try to derive from ShapeBase then I get the error at startup:
"Register object failed for object (null) of class StaticShape."
(It still thinks it's a staticshape for some reason?) And when I try to place it down with the mission editor:
"Tried to get the object for item 35, which is not InspectorData!"
This may or may not be a problem if ShapeBase is the class I should derive from!

i'm not sure about TGEA, but in TGE's world editor there's a preferences menu with a setting for this.
we modded our editor so that pressing "[" decreases the translate scale and "]" increases it. very handy!
> What base class should I derive new objects from?
your profile doesn't indicate that you've purchased the SDK.
if you do, you'll be able to see the private forums here, which are a better place to find answers to that question.
> Is there an option to reload scripts without having to restart the entire game?
there's a resource for this, but again, it's also only for sdk owners.
edit - actually,
i don't know if TGEA ownership does show up in profiles,
so perhaps you have purchased it. but if you have,
i would try your question in the TGEA private forums.
