Objects

Objects passed to callbacks or returned by the API: entities, events, commands, console handles, Panorama values and trace types.

Object methods are called with : unless documented otherwise. Each object type has its own page.

Object	Purpose
Entities (`base_entity_t`)	base_entity_t: schema field access, entity methods and entity lifetime.
`gameevent`	Game event object passed to `events.<event name>` callbacks; fields are read by key name.

`view_setup`	Mutable view setup passed to the override_view callback.
`user_cmd_t`	Read-only snapshot of the user command passed to the createmove callback.
`console.variable`	Console variable handle returned by `console.<name>` and console.variables(): reading and setting values.
`console.command`	Console command handle returned by `console.<name>` and console.commands().
`panorama.object`	Lua wrapper around a JavaScript value from Panorama.
`ray_t`	Ray shapes for trace.shape: a line, an offset line, a sphere, a box or a capsule.
`trace_filter_t`	Trace filter: interaction mask, collision group, entity iteration and an optional should_hit predicate.
`trace_t`	Result of trace.line and trace.shape.
`hitbox_t`	The game's hitbox record (CHitBox) returned by e:hitbox(index) and tr.hitbox.
`rn_collision_attr_t`	Collision attributes exposed by trace_t.shape_attributes.
