Documented Components

See the Comprehensive Component Hierarchy List for all possible components used in the game, organized by hierachy. Use for researching and documenting components.

For a json dump of all existing components and their properties, check DrPresto's github repository.

For a hands-on guide on how to safely change components in .app files, look here.

Mesh components: Equipment/Hair

Your favourite kind of mesh component is the , as it does not have any physics properties that can crash the game.

The 's physics properties can be responsible for crashes if you edit the linked mesh.

Shared properties of mesh components

depotPath	Loads a .mesh
chunkMask	Defines visibility of individual submeshes
meshAppearance	Selects an entry from the mesh's appearances array
castShadows castLocalShadows	Enables/disables real-time shadows
forceLODLevel	Force Level of Detail (LoD)

Documented mesh component types

entGarmentSkinnedMeshComponent

Can be used interchangeably with entSkinnedMeshComponent.

This is the good kind of mesh component, the one that will work without trouble, as opposed to entSkinnedClothComponent.

entSkinnedMeshComponent

See entGarmentSkinnedMeshComponent

entSkinnedClothComponent

Like ent(Garment)SkinnedMeshComponent, but with a physicalMesh and physics.

Usually comes together with an entAnimatedComponent (they're usually named collar for clothes and dangle for hair and accessories).

The physics will cause crashes if you alter the mesh file (yes, even if it's just a refit). As an alternative, you can use a regular mesh component together with .

entAnimatedComponent

Adds physics to garments and hair meshes. This is the "safe" way of doing it, opposed to , which can cause crashes.

entMeshComponent

Used for components on low levels of details such as proxies and shadow meshes.

Effects

Please see Effect components for details

entEffectSpawnerComponent

entSlotComponent

NPCs

gameDismembermentComponent

Defines dismemberment rules for NPCs. (TBD: ???)

Generic

gameinteractionsComponent

Adds interaction prompt to entity. (Shouldn't work without gameTargetingComponent, but this hasn't been double-checked.)

entColliderComponent

WIP

gameTargetingComponent

Allows targeting via CET.

gameScanningComponent
