Could someone please explain or point me to the correct wiki page, tutorial or whatever as to what I need to do to get a class I have created to attach to an object and stay persistent?

I have been going in circles trying to get my class functional outside of adding it manually every time I log in.

Thanks

As far as I understand you need to make sure its added to the prototype.

http://wiki.heroengine.com/wiki/Prototype

If my understanding serves me correctly you can think of this as a prefab, or if your a coder just a class.. its the base of what other "nodes" in your world are created from.

Meaning that if you want something to stay persistently needs to be part of the prototype.. I think.. dont qoute me... only have HE for 48 hours, but that is my understanding thus far!

Is the node you are adding the class to persistent?

Are you adding a client or server class?

Originally I was using /mnfc <classID> which is not persistent. I then tried issue a cli command /cnfc; +persistent but when i exited the node did not save. I then read that I needed to make association so I made a hard association but again it failed to save.

I am unsure wheather I need to make proto or do this from script every time it loads so I am just looking for where to go to study.

Can you provide a more specific use case? There are many ways in which you can persist data (http://hewiki.heroengine.com/wiki/Data_storage_options), and there are several ways to create a node from a particular class or add a class to an already persistent node (http://hewiki.heroengine.com/wiki/Node_Persistence) (http://hewiki.heroengine.com/wiki/Nodes_and_Classes).

In order for a node to get loaded in from the database, it must either be hard-associated (http://hewiki.heroengine.com/wiki/Associations) to a root node (such as the area root, account root, character root) or it must be an arbitrary root node (http://hewiki.heroengine.com/wiki/Arbitrary_Root_Node).

This is a very good tutorial, that will get you started in understanding exactly what you want to do.
