Game Engine Object Types

This is a list of C++ game engine "object types" that can be used in the bf2.objectManager.getObjectsOfType method. As an example, to get a list of all control points, you could use:

controlPoints = bf2.objectManager.getObjectsOfType(
                  'dice.hfe.world.ObjectTemplate.ControlPoint')
for cp in controlPoints:
    # do stuff to each control point

Confirmed objecttype list

dice.hfe.world.ObjectTemplate.PlayerControlObject

Returns a tuple of vehicle(?) objects that are controllable by a player (Includes the Commander assets). Vehicles are constructed of many objects, use the getChildren() method to get a tuple of all objects in a vehicle.

dice.hfe.world.ObjectTemplate.ControlPoint

Returns A tuple of ControlPoint objects. A controlpoint is constructed of a flagpole and a flag. Depending on which team controls the controlpoint, a different flag image is displayed.

Parent

None

Children

has children of type PhysicalObject (flagpole, flag_us, flag_mec, flag_ch, flag_neutral)

dice.hfe.world.ObjectTemplate.Trigger

Returns a tuple of type unknown objects.

Parent

None

Children

has no children

dice.hfe.world.ObjectTemplate.AmbientEffectArea

Returns a tuple of type unknown objects.

Parent

None

Children

has no children

dice.hfe.world.ObjectTemplate.Ladder

Returns a tuple of type unknown objects.

Parent

None

Children

has no children

dice.hfe.world.ObjectTemplate.TargetObject

Returns a tuple of type unknown objects. These appear to always be of the template UniqueTarget.

The first two objects in the tuple seem to always correspond to artillery. The first object is MEC or China artillery, while the second object always appears to be US artillery. When the round begins all the TargetObjects positions are set to (0.0, 0.0, 0.0). When artillery is fired, its corresponding TargetObject's position is set to the location of the artillery. This position remains until the artillery is fired again, and the position is overwritten with the new location. The other objects in the tuple correspond to guided missiles and such throughout the level(ie TV-Guided Missiles).

Parent

None

Children

has no children

dice.hfe.world.ObjectTemplate.ObjectSpawner

Returns a tuple of PhysicalObject objects. Spawned objects are defined in the GamePlayObjects.con file that is located in server.zip (GameModes/<gamemode>/<player count>). Examples of spawned objects are: UAV, JEEP_AAV, destroyable bridges.

Parent

None

Children

has children of mixed type depending on the type of the parent object.

dice.hfe.world.ObjectTemplate.Soldier

Returns a tuple of type unknown objects.

Parent

Unconfirmed objecttype list

These objects are valid but return an empty tuple. They are probably not accessible from python, or only valid when these objects exist in the map. This is not tested. Any insight on these objects is highly appreciated.
