Game object properties are read-only and their values are not automatically updated.
Updates to game objects (via Functions) do not take effect until they've been synchronised with all players. As such, game objects will not immediately reflect changes in game state.
Do not store objects as global variables, they will not be persisted in saved games.
Availability
The base object was introduced in:
- Warzone 3.1 early alphas
- There were several new properties added in Warzone 3.1 beta 2
- More properties are planned in Warzone 3.2
Where to get them?
You won't actually see "game" or "base" objects in your script; instead you'll see Droid objects, Structure objects or Feature objects which inherit the properties shown to the left and then add a number of additional properties of their own.
The .type property will be overridden as applicable to the type of game object.
If you know its ID, you can get any game object using the objFromId() function.
