Description

Description:

Creates object with given shape defined as path to .p3d model. The object will not be simulated, i.e. no PhysX, no sounds, no interest for AI targeting. Such limitations allow to create global decorative objects with very little network traffic. Simple object cannot be destroyed.

Objects that could be exclusively created with this command are: trees, bushes, rocks, bridges, roads, vehicle wrecks and other objects without a class in config. The height of the placement position might need to be adjusted experimentally. Some of the model examples could be found here: createSimpleObject/objects
