Properties

Every object has a number of properties that are handled by the engine. Typically, these are inherited from the object's Prototype, an Object Definition. A Property of an Object Definition is defined with the local keyword in the Definition's script:

local Name = "$Name$";
local ActMap = {
Stand = {
	Prototype = Action,
        Name = "Stand",
        Length = 1,
        NextAction = "Stand"
},
};

Object Properties

Name	Data type	Description
Prototype	proplist	Deprecated. Use SetPrototype and GetPrototype.
Name	string	Name of the object. This string should be internationalized.
Collectible	bool	Whether the object can be picked up.
Touchable	int	1 the object can be grabbed and pushed, 2 the object can only be grabbed.
ActMap	proplist	See the detailed description of the ActMap.
Visibility	int/array	Controls the visibility of the object. See the detailed documentation of possible values.
LineColors	array	An array of two integers. The first denotes the color of the line and the second the color of the endpoints if the object is drawn as a line.
LineAttach	array	An array of two integers. Denotes the position of where the endpoint of the line is located relative to the object center.
PictureTransformation	array	If the object is a mesh, the picture graphic of the object can be transformed with this property. See Trans_Mul for an example.
MeshTransformation	array	If the object is a mesh, the ingame graphic of the object can be transformed with this property. See Trans_Mul for an example.
MouseDrag	bool	Whether the object can be dragged with the mouse. What exactly happens when an object is dragged onto another is defined in script.
MouseDragImage	id / object	The object or object id of which the picture should be displayed below the cursor while dragging.
Tooltip	string	A tooltip that is displayed for objects of the category C4D_MouseSelect. This string should be internationalized.
Action	proplist	The current action of the object as a proplist.
BreatheWater	bool	Whether the object breathes in water rather than air.
CorrosionResist	bool	Whether the alive object does not loose energy when in corrosive material.
MaxEnergy	int	Maximum life energy in a precision of 100.
MaxBreath	int	Maximum breath.
ThrowSpeed	int	Throwing speed in a precision of 100.
JumpSpeed	int	Jump speed in a precision of 100.
Parallaxity	[int, int]	The Objects's major Z-Position. See C4D_Parallax.
Plane	int	The Object's minor Z-Position. Negative values are behind the landscape, positive values before it. Use 1-399 for stuff behind Clonks, 401-999 for stuff before Clonks, and 1000+ for GUI objects. Global particles are on 900.
SolidMaskPlane	int	If the object moves and other objects are attached to its SolidMask, only objects in front of this plane are moved along with it. Defaults to Plane if zero.
Placement	Integer	Placement: 0 land surface, 1 in liquid, 2 in mid-air, 3 underground, 4 land surface and underground.
ContainBlast	bool	True or false. Determines whether explosions in the object's contents affect other objects outside.
BlastIncinerate	Integer	Incineration by explosion: 0 none, otherwise the damage level that has to be reached until the object is incinerated.
BurnTo	C4ID	Definition change upon incineration.
NoBurnDecay	Integer	0 or 1. If 1, the object does not decompose if burning.
ContactIncinerate	Integer	Probability of incineration by contact: 0 none, or 1 (high) to 5 (low). Implies MaterialIncinerate.
MaterialIncinerate	bool	Incineration when submerged in incendiary material.
FireproofContainer	bool	Anything contained in this object does not catch fire when submerged in incendiary material.
EditCursorCommands	Array	Array of functions made available in the context menu when right-clicking an object in the editor. Functions may be either strings (like "Explode(20)") or function pointers (like this.Hit). Function pointers are always called by name.
BorderBound	Integer	Bit mask indicating object boundaries: stop at map sides (C4D_Border_Sides), stop at map top (C4D_Border_Top), stop at map bottom (C4D_Border_Sides), stop at object layer boundaries (C4D_Border_Layer). For example BorderBound = C4D_Border_Top | C4D_Border_Bottom.
ContactCalls	bool	True or false. If true, ContactCalls are called in the object script.
Components	array	List of definitions and counts specifying the components of an object. Example: Components = {Rock = 1, Wood = 3};
