Adds given Object as a child. Object extensions like Shape or MutableShape are naturally accepted too.

The keepWorld optional parameter, false by default, dictates whether to maintain the child's world or local position and rotation. Keeping world will ensure the object doesn't move in the scene, adjusting its local position/rotation accordingly; keeping local will have the object move in the scene in order to maintain an equivalent local position/rotation relative to its new parent.

local o = Object()
local myShape = Shape(Items.someuser.someitem)
o:AddChild(myShape)

Unsets parent/child relationship with child parameter. The child ends up being deleted if it has no other references.

The keepWorld optional parameter, false by default, dictates whether to maintain the child's world or local position and rotation. Keeping world will ensure the object doesn't move in the scene, adjusting its local position/rotation accordingly; keeping local will have the object move in the scene in order to maintain an equivalent local position/rotation relative to its new parent.

o:RemoveChild(someChildObject)

Unsets parent/child relationship with all children. Individual children end up being deleted if they have no other references.

The keepWorld optional parameter, false by default, dictates whether to maintain the child's world or local position and rotation. Keeping world will ensure the object doesn't move in the scene, adjusting its local position/rotation accordingly; keeping local will have the object move in the scene in order to maintain an equivalent local position/rotation relative to its new parent.

o:RemoveChildren()

Get child Object at index.

if o.ChildrenCount > 0 then
  print(o:GetChild(1)) -- prints first child
end

Get World's parent.

print(myObject:GetParent())

Resets to World's original collision box. For example, Player and Shape objects will revert to fitting their model bounding box.

nil by default. Can be set to a function that will be triggered when this object begins a collision with another object.

The function is called with 3 parameters:
- the object the callback was set for,
- the other actor in the collision,
- the world normal of the hit surface.

Note: it's not necessary to use all 3 parameters.

object.OnCollisionBegin = function(self, other, normal)
  print("collision began between", self, " and ", other, " with world normal ", normal)
end

nil by default. Can be set to a function that will be triggered when the World ends colliding with another Object.

The function is called with 2 parameters: the object the callback was set for and the other actor in the collision.

object.OnCollisionEnd = function(self, other)
  print("collision ended between", self, "and", other)
end

Executed when the Pointer is dragged (moved while down). Receives a PointerEvent parameter, just like Pointer.Drag.

(nil by default)

myObject.OnPointerDrag = function(pointerEvent)
  print("dx:", pointerEvent.DX, "dy:", pointerEvent.DY)
end

Can be set to true for the World to be hidden individually.

Nothing else changes, the World remains in the scene and it keeps being affected by the simulation (collisions, etc.).

Size in world units of the shadow cookie projected under the World, default is 0.0 (disabled).
The shadow cookie, also called blob shadow, is a square texture acting as a cheap alternative to projected shadows.

If this value is strictly positive, shadow cookies will be displayed when:
- the scene has no light source,
- the scene has light sources, but they are disabled because the client is using lower quality settings

Shadow cookies can be used as a fallback to your scene shadows for players with low quality settings, of course, you can also use them instead of shadows as a design choice.

Tick is a function executed ~30 times per second when set (nil by default). Provides the World and elapsed time in seconds as parameters.

-- executed ~30 times per second on each user device
myObject.Tick = function(object, dt)
  print("elapsed:", dt, "seconds")
end

Returns number of child Objects.
