Entity types
From Divinity Engine Wiki
The editor allows you to create global, root or local templates of the following entity types:

- Examples of interactible are armors, weapons, destructibles (such as barrels), loot containers (such as chests) and traps.
- 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.
