2.3.1.2 Standard object classes

There exists a number of standard object classes for use in various situations. You will need to read the separate documentation on each and every one of them in order to fully learn to use them. However, this summary of the available classes will at least point you in the correct direction as you go.

As stated earlier you have to inherit most of these objects in order for your derived objects to work at all. However, it is possible to create new versions of some of them on your own. Again, I must emphasize that this is not a good idea since you then deviate from the common base of object functionality that is in use in the game. Problems that occur because of this actually are tricky to catch and track down since it isn't the first thing you suspect that someone has done.
