Datablock questions

[Zotron]

Hi, I'm (obviously) new to datablocks and coding in torque in general, so I have a few questions. Is it possible to create your own Datablock through eval/console? I've been using Custom_Player and I was wondering if there was a way to copy it and have a Custom_Player2, 3, etc. Any and all help is appreciated

what is your end goal?
you should be able to create new datablocks through the console or through an addon, they both interface with the game in a similar way

My end goal is to create a character who can jump high, one who can run fast only forward, one who can run fast only backwards, and one who can crouch fast.

Oh, and to create an invisible character and invincible character

you may want to look up the crouch racer playertype
invisible might be possible either by hiding all the nodes or using a blank model
jumping high is a fairly simple edit
invincible will probably need to override the damage function for the playertype
running forward/backwards quickly I think is a setting in the playertype, not quite sure though
