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.
Game Object Properties
Id:The unique Id of a GameObject, Ids are unique on a per cluster basis.- Getting the Id of a gameObject:
mId = mObj.Id - Setter: Gameobject Ids cannot be set. They are created and assigned by the engine on object creation.
- Referencing a gameObj from a known Id:
mGameObj = GameObj(mId)
- Getting the Id of a gameObject:
Name: The name of a gameobject, visible in game.- Getter:
mName = mObj:GetName() - Setter:
mObj:SetName("Samogh the Blacksmith")
- Getter:
Hue
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.
- GameObj can communicate between each other using SendMessage just like Modules.
