'''Static''' objects are models that won't move in game. Furniture, pillars, plants, ect... Just about anything that is a model can be a static object, and anything that the player is not going to interact with probably should be. Be careful about placing static objects on top of moveable objects, however. If a static book is sitting on a moveable crate, and the crate gets moved away, the book will continue to float in the air.

''written by Baddcog''

To add an object right-click on any 2d window (preferably where you want the object to appear).
'''Objects''' can be ''static'' or ''entity''. Select '''Create Model''' to create static objects or '''Create Entity''' for entity objects. Both types can be viewed in the ''model viewer'' (need link).

Sometimes a combination of static and entity objects can be an easy way to make an ''animated'' object.

'''Static''' objects are models that won't move in game. Furniture, pillars, plants, ect... A candle stick could be a static and get knocked over. The player can't frob them though.

'''Entity''' objects are more complex. They use the same models as the statics but properties can be applied through a ''def'' file.
These properties can range from frobbing to animation and particle attachments. ''Loot'' has properties that make it unique so it will be found in the entity inspector (L) under atdm/loot/ atdm:loot_amulet (for example).

Entity types are:

'''Moveables''' which are items the player can interact with. They can be frobbed, picked up, rotated, thrown.
They could also be a door knob (frobbable) or a rotating gear (non-frob). ''atdm:item_book_red1''

'''Animated''' objects have been animated in a 3d program such as Blender, Lightwave or 3dsMax.
They could be a non-moving machine that is animated so it's pistons and gears move or they could be an ''AI''.

'''AI''' of course refers to characters in the game. Taffers, maidens, servants, rats,... the list goes on.
Most human AI will not have a head in the editor, one is attached via def files and will be spawned when the game starts. This allows use of many heads on each body. ''darkmod/AI/Builder'', ect...

Entities can have physics models (ragdolls) such as a bucket with a handle. These are under ''atdm:env_bucket''...
Ropes are here. AI's ''corpses'' have ragdolls so you can drag them by an arm or leg, ect...
