Hi

I want to create a Item. 

datablock ItemData(myItemDB)
{
   shapeFile = "~/data/shapes/3dtorquelogo/torque_logo.dts";
   category = "MyItems";
};

Now... if i want to place a item in the editor i get the following error message:

(0): Unable to find function ItemData::create

I tried "myItemDB.dump();" and there is no method called "create".

When adding items through the editor, it looks for a create method. You need to write that method for new items you create and want to place through the editor. If you do a search on ::Create you should find where the other ones for like StaticShape and such are located. Just add one that creates an instance of your item.

I don't have TGE SDK here, but I do have the TGEA, and the method for TSStatic is in creater.ed.cs.

Thomas, Have you followed the gettingStarted.pdf? It shows how to create a "TorqueLogoItem". The steps are the same for any item.
