    • TemplateType Scenery.png Scenery
      Scenery items are items that are part of the static scenery in the game world, and are mainly used for decoration. The distinction between sceneries and interactibles exists for performance reasons, so it is recommended that you make sure item templates are the correct type.
      Examples of scenery items are tents, trees, pillars and rocks.
  • TemplateType Character.png Characters
    Characters are AI or player controlled entities such as animals, guards and vendors.
