GameObj

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.
• GameObj can communicate between each other using SendMessage just like Modules.
