Often connected to additional in-level lights. Can be controlled through <code>Lamp_</code> helper functions. </p> </div> <h2>Prop_Grab</h2> <div class="level2"> <p> A physics-based prop that can be picked up, turned and examined by the player. Make sure the body mass isn't 0! </p> </div> <h2>Prop_Push</h2> <div class="level2"> <p> A physics-based prop that can be grabbed and pushed around (but not picked up). </p> </div> <h2>Prop_Wheel</h2> <div class="level2"> <p> A turnable wheel, such as a valve wheel. Must have a Hinge joint. Can be controlled through <code>Wheel_</code> helper functions. </p> </div> <h2>Prop_Rigid</h2> <div class="level2"> <p> The basic physics-based object; can't be interacted with by default. </p> </div> <h2>Prop_Slide</h2> <div class="level2"> <p> An object with a body in it that can be grabbed and slid along a joint e.g. a drawer. Must include a Slider joint.

Can be controlled through <code>Button_</code> helper functions. </p> </div> <h2>Prop_LevelDoor</h2> <div class="level2"> <p> An object which, when interacted with, will load a new level. Nearly obsolete now due to level streaming. </p> </div> <h2>Prop_MoveObject</h2> <div class="level2"> <p> An object which can be smoothly moved or rotated between two different points e.g. a ladder that slides into place, or a wall that turns to reveal a secret passage, or a cargo lift. Use <code>MoveObject_</code> helper functions. </p> </div> <h2>Prop_MultiSlider</h2> <div class="level2"> <p> Like a slider, but has multiple positions / states (not used in SOMA). </p> </div> <h2>Prop_SlideDoor</h2> <div class="level2"> <p> A door that slides open - use <code>SlideDoor_</code> helper functions. </p> </div> <h2>Prop_Lever</h2> <div class="level2"> <p> Any sort of lever. Needs a Hinge joint. Use <code>Lever_</code> helper functions. </p> </div> <h2>Prop_Terminal</h2> <div class="level2"> <p> An object with a GUI surface on e.g. a computer monitor or door panel. Use <code>Terminal_</code> helper functions, and <code>ImGui_</code> functions for drawing on the GUI surface - see <a href="/doku.php?id=hpl3:game:gui" class="wikilink1" title="hpl3:game:gui">GUI</a> for more info. </p> </div> <h2>Prop_Readable</h2> <div class="level2"> <p> An object which can be picked up, rotated, and has text associated with it e.g. a letter, a book. </p> </div> <h2>Prop_HandheldTerminal</h2> <div class="level2"> <p> Same as terminal, but can be picked up. Used for Datapads, mobile phones and cameras. Use <code>Terminal_</code> helper functions and see <a href="/doku.php?id=hpl3:game:gui" class="wikilink1" title="hpl3:game:gui">GUI</a> for more info. </p> </div> <h2>Prop_Tool</h2> <div class="level2"> <p> Objects which can be picked up by the player and then go into the player's inventory e.g. computer chips, the Omnitool, the stun gun.
