This resource will allow you to designate certain classes as "No Instant Group". This is useful for preventing a flood of dynamic objects being added to your mission while it is being edited.

This bit of code will help solve a common problem involved in path finding: Determining if a path is available to a destination. Instead of a single ray check between the start and end points, a series of links is created between them along the ground to test the clearance.

This resource will allow you to alter the play speed of specific animations. Each animation inside of your TSShapeConstructor can have a percent speed modifier applied to it. This is especially useful if you use a lot of content packs and don't have access to the source material.

A mission wide overhead map for your Torque RPG. A rotated arrow will follow the player as he traverses the mission. Points of interest can be defined at specific locations and can be given a unique title, description, bitmap, and hoverover. You can mark permanent areas such as buildings, merchants, landmarks, etc. In addition you can also use temporary POIs to mark non-permanent destinations such as quest givers/destinations, group members, and others.

This resource allows you to add equipment to shapebase objects such as weapons, shields, helms, shoulder pads, jewelry, etc. It is a much more lightweight solution than using ShapeBaseImage. Equipment can have a position and rotation offset, as well as scale. Items can be mounted to any node on a shapebase.

Using this, you can create an armor/clothing system like those seen in MMOs. Meshes are defined with a base texture "naked". Your armor and clothing models are then applied ontop of this. You could also apply things such as scars, tattoos, eyes, etc. Mod based off of marcs texture layer code http://www.garagegames.com/index.php?sec=mg&mod=resource&page=view&qid=7650 There is currently a bug with it where it randomly wont work. If your player dies and respawns it will usually start working again. I am posting this resource in the hope that someone can see the problem

Allows you to create a dynamic texture using a sample image. This allows you to apply effects to the text (drop shadow, outlines, etc), and more importantly allows you to render the texture into the 3d world.
