Introduction

See CT_OBJECT for more information on the basics of object dialogs. In addition to CT_OBJECT this control type supports the addition of controls inside of a predefined area of the object which means that if the object moves so do the controls inside of it.

ⓘ

For an object with selections one can use user texture. For example "\A3\Misc_F\Helpers\UserTexture1m.p3d" has selections: usertexture, usertexture TL,usertexture TR, usertexture BL.

Default Classes

AddOns: Classes need to be initialised first with class SomeClass;

Missions: Since Arma 3 v2.02 one can use import SomeClass; to initialise a class (see the import keyword).

In older versions, use "Default" call BIS_fnc_exportGUIBaseClasses; and paste the result into the description.ext.
