A Datablock is anything "Physical" in the Torque Game Engine.  Example: Particles, Vehicles, Item Images, Players, Etc.

Ok thanks so what is the method of limiting the data-block usage ?

[Jervan]

Don't make very many.

I Agree With Jervan

ok so when making my weapon just use an all ready made particle , and less kb in the sound file , and stuff like that ?

[Jervan]

Here is what I usually stick to:

Code: [Select]

//Weapon Outline

//Sound(s) - 2 datablocks maximum

//Particles and Emitters - 4 maximum

//Projectile - 1 maximum

//Explosion - 1 maximum

//Item - 1 maximum

//Weapon Image - 1 maximum

//Animation Functions - none

//Special Quality Functions - none
As you can see, you don't need a datablock to hold a function.

Sound isn't physical.

Sound isn't physical.

In Reality, Sound Is Physical Vibrations.  So In Game, Sound = Physical
