Game Object (GameObj) is a Dynamic object within the game that can occupy a position of the world, including a container. Game Objects are the most common of all Objects and can have Variables and/or Modules attached to them.
A potion, a monster, a door, and a sword are all examples of GameObjs.
Object Variables
Object Variables are saved when a backup is performed. This means that after a full restart of the server, the GameObj will return to the state it was in during the backup.
gameObj:SetObjVar("Name", "Larry")
name = gameObj:GetObjVar("Name")
gameObj:SetObjVar("SomeObjVarNameIChose", 53.2)
aUserNum = gameObj:GetObjVar("SomeObjVarNameIChose")
You can save Numbers, Strings, Bools, and Tables in an ObjVar and can specify any String name of your choice.
Tips
Obj variables should only contain data you are intending to persist to disk, especially since reading from an ObjVar immediately after setting it will not always return the new value.
