Eden Editor: Object

An object is an entity with physical representation in the world. The player can see it as a model with textures, while the game recognizes its technical properties like the simulation type, collision geometry or damage.

Objects can be divided into three main types:

Character is a living entity controlled either by a player, or by an AI (Artificial Intelligence; sometimes also known as NPC - Non-Playable Character).

Vehicle is an object which can have a crew composed of characters. A crewed vehicle has an effective commander, who can issue orders to the rest of the crew. The vehicle also inherits the side of the commander (i.e., BLUFOR pilot will render a helicopter BLUFOR as well).

Prop is any other object without special functionality, for example, houses, fences or signs. Empty vehicles are not props. Animals are, mainly because they cannot be considered characters.

An object is an entity type you will likely edit the most, so make sure to familiarize yourself with all its options.
