Syntax

Syntax:

objectType allObjects objectCollection

Parameters:

objectType: Number - type can be a combination of types according to bit flag operation (see getObjectType):

• -1 - 2.12 All types incl. nulls (nulls exist with 'objectCollection' 7 and 8)
• 1 - Primary - normal object placed in Terrain Builder, part of landscape
• 2 - Network - road placed in Terrain Builder, part of landscape
• 4 - Temporary - temporary object (like vehicle tracks)
• 8 - TypeVehicle - entity added by game
• 16 - TypeTempVehicle - temporary entity
• 32 - LandDecal - land decal

For example if required objects are both TerrainBuilder-placed (1) and dynamically placed (8) the combination type will be 8 + 1 = 9
