Editor views for objects
Particles and lights have a custom icon to show their appearance in the editor, how do i do this with other objects i create?

(Seperate icon in editor to actual world object)

These are virtual objects as such that have no mesh to be drawn in the run time game world, they just act as visual place holders. I do similar things with my own directional way points for example, where I assign a mesh to the object which is visible in the editor but the class behind it only draws the item in DEBUG mode not in run time.

That way I can play the game in DEBUG and see all of my place holders or in RELEASE mode for a real 'in game' view.

Other more virtual items like configuration lists I assign a mesh as a place holder for the editor but its not drawn in either DEBUG or RELEASE mode when running the game as there is no advantage to seeing these.
