Eden Editor: Object Categorization

Hierarchy

Mode Sorting

1. Mode - All objects placed in Objects mode
2. Submode - Characters and vehicles are sorted per side (e.g., BLUFOR), the rest is under Props

Object Sorting

1. Category - the topmost tree hierarchy item. Characters and vehicles are usually sorted by faction (e.g., NATO), while props are sorted by some shared functionality (e.g., Furniture)
2. Subcategory - more detailed categorization specific to the main category.
3. Object - the object asset which can be actually placed. Identified by an icon; categories don't have one.

Configuration

For the list of all config properties, see CfgVehicles Config Reference

// MODE
// All objects are configured in CfgVehicles (even those which are not technically vehicles)
class CfgVehicles
{
	class MyObject: Car
	{
		// SUBMODE
		// The side decides under which submode (e.g., BLUFOR) is the object sorted
		// When the class doesn't inherit from AllVehicles or its child classes (e.g., Car),
		// the side is ignored and the object will be a Prop
		side = 1;

		// CATEGORY
		// Two ways how to set it exist. When both are present, editorCategory has priority.
		editorCategory = "MyCategory"; // Class from CfgEditorCategories. Usually used for props.
		faction = "MyCategory"; // Class from CfgFactionClasses. Usually used for characters and vehicles.

		// SUBCATEGORY
		// Two ways how to set it exist. When both are present, editorSubcategory has priority.
		editorSubcategory = "MySubcategory"; // Class from CfgEditorSubcategories. Should be used everywhere.
		vehicleClass = "MySubcategory"; // Class from CfgVehicleClasses. Depreciated, should not be used anymore.
