Space to store and share documentation of RTTI definitions.
This space stores documentation and is used to show it when browsing RTTI dump using NativeDB.
If you have an issue or feedback to share, come and talk about it on NativeDB@wiki channel.
If you want to contribute, please go to the next guide:
Components in the game define the functionality of various objects and NPCs, such as physics, animations, interactions, and more. IComponent serves as a base class for all the specific components that can be attached to entities.
Modularity: components can be thought of as modules that add specific functionality to an entity. For example, you could add a physics component to give an object physical interactions with the environment or an AI component to allow an NPC to make decisions.
Reuse: since components are reusable, you can apply the same component to different entities. This makes it easier to add consistent behavior across various objects or NPCs.
Separation of Concerns: each component is responsible for handling a specific aspect of an entity. This makes it easier to focus on one feature at a time (such as movement, interaction, or combat behavior).
Retrieve entity owner.
Blackboard is a kind of shared data storage and a framework to access/notify/listen to the data in the storage. Similar to a real blackboard, [GameObject]s put their data on the board ([IBlackboard]). Other objects can observe, react to and update the data.
Blackboard uses a key-value pattern to store data. Keys are defined through a [BlackboardDefinition]. You can know what keys (ids) a [IBlackboard] is using with its corresponding [BlackboardDefinition]. A list of known definitions can be found in [AllBlackboardDefinitions].
See also this post on StackExchange.
When Codeware is installed, you can use this function without issues. Otherwise, you may need to get [GameInstance] through other functions like [GameObject.GetGame] for example.
This function will only work when the game engine is initialized, meaning a [GameInstance] do exists.
Use this function to write in logs, along with [FTLogWarning] and [FTLogError].
See for more about logging.
See [FTLog] instead.
An Entity is essentially a "thing" in the game world. This can be a player character, NPC, vehicle, or an object like a weapon or a door. Each entity has specific attributes, like health, position, and abilities, that define how it behaves and interacts with the environment.
Components: these are smaller parts that make up an entity, such as physics, animations, and behaviors. Components are what give an entity its abilities, like moving, interacting, or taking damage.
Properties: these are data fields that define things like health, speed, size, or position in the world.
Events: entities can send and receive events to trigger actions. For instance, an NPC can trigger an event when it detects the player.
Whether [this.QueueEvent] is currently available or not.
Mark entity for disposal.
Retrieve any component on entity by name.
Retrieve currently applied .
Enqueue event for entity on game's events loop.
This guide will give you a tour of everything you need to know to document the codebase of NativeDB.
This space is used to write and store documentation. It will synchronize the data in a GitHub repository. NativeDB get the documentation from this repository to show it when browsing the codebase.
If you never used GitBook before, you'll see that it is easy to use after learning some basics. to find your way around.
NativeDB provides buttons to quickly open GitBook in the right place:
NativeDB expects a custom format and structure to get the data from GitBook, and to show it as beautifully as possible. You first need to learn a few rules, you can start with . It will also explain some guidelines on what to write or not when documenting.
Now that you made a change request, wrote some documentation, you can request a review. An administrator will check it, and if it is alright, merge your change request.
NativeDB will store the documentation in your browser as a cache. It helps improve performance and it reduces the usage of the network's bandwidth. It will only refresh the list of documented classes every 10 minutes (to see if there are changes to update locally). If NativeDB is already open, it will not show your last merged change request. You can wait up to 10 minutes or hit F5 to refresh your tab.
Thank you for your contributions!

Only available in-game, and re-created on each load.
See Codeware ScriptableService if you need to add logic outside of game sessions.
Whether session was restored (e.g. on save load), or not (e.g. on new game).
Whether saving is currently disabled or not (e.g. during combat).
Automatically called when attached to game session (e.g. on save load).
Automatically called when detached from game session (e.g. on exit to main menu).
Automatically called when restoring game session (e.g. on save load).
This system allows you to spawn (particle) effects in the world. It should be able to spawn any [FxResource]. You can find a list of effects with WolvenKit in the AssetBrowser by filtering files with .effect extension.
Create a new effect at transform position in the world, based on a resource (your effect). You need to keep a reference of the returned [FxInstance] to later control and stop your effect.
See these snippets of code for and for to create a [FxResource].
This guide describes how documentation should be written. It also explains what should be documented or not, and why.
The goal of this documentation is to share acquired knowledge about the codebase. It is not useful to document every single class and functions of this entire codebase.
Guidelines below are not hard rules that you must absolutely and always follow. The purpose is to give you (and contributors) a common ground to start from.
Responsible for managing all audio-related functionality within the game. This system controls everything from background music and sound effects to character dialogue and environmental sounds.
Game sounds can be browsed and listened to on .
Sounds can be replaced with , with predefined .
If you need more control over how sounds can be played in-game, you might want to consider .
[DelayID] can be kept around to interrupt a running callback, event or tick anytime (see [this.CancelDelay], [this.CancelEvent] and [this.CancelTick]). You can also check how long remains before being eventually called (see [this.GetRemainingDelayTime]).
timeToDelay : delay duration in seconds.
isAffectedByTimeDilation: whether callback will be slowed down based on current active time dilation (e.g. when time slows during Sandevistan).
More info and code snippets there.
Supports any class inheriting from [Event], including custom ones.

REDengine simulation time
time dilation (e.g. when activating Sandevistan)
You can convert real-time to/from game-time with the table below (or use [this.RealTimeSecondsToGameTime]):
GameTime to RealTime
24:00:00.000 to 03:00:00.000
00:08:00.000 to 00:01:00.000
00:01:00.000 to 00:00:07.500
Time elapsed in V's storyline.
Real time, as a timestamp epoch.
REDengine simulation time.
Whether V or NPCs are currently using time dilation (usually via cyberware, e.g. Sandevistan).
Convert from real-time seconds to game time.

This call is not enough to redraw the widget with the new font style. You can trigger a redraw by calling another function too, for example using [this.SetText] or [this.SetFontSize] with the same current value.
fontStyle values are unique per font family, you can find them in .inkfontfamily files using WolvenKit. List of known values: Regular, Light, Medium, Heavy, Semi-Bold, Bold, Extra Bold, Italic, Bold Italic, Black, Demi, Book, Book Italic.
name (of action) is allowed but using known object (e.g. [PlayerPuppet]) as listener is a source of potential issues. Mods should always declare and use a custom listener object, like in this example.
Known currency values: n"money".
Known currency values: n"money".
Play a sound by its event name, optionally specifying an entity as emitter with its name.
Emitter name is used with chatters and subtitles.
Stop a previously played sound, optionally defined on an entity with specific name.
Switch from one sound to another, optionally specifying an entity as emitter with its name.
Whether entity's voice (a.k.a voiceover) can be heard from where player stands.
Bind a style to a property of a widget, based on the current theme of the game. You must define a style resource using [this.SetStyle], otherwise this function will have no effect.
Example to use the red color of the game on a widget: BindProperty(n"tintColor", n"MainColors.Red").
You need to setup your widget to listen for events and trigger callbacks. You can do so using [this.SetInteractive] on the widget.
You can listen to the following common events (see also the full list):
n"OnEnter": when cursor enters the widget (hover in)
n"OnLeave": when cursor leaves the widget (hover out)
n"OnPress": when mouse left button is pressed inside the widget
n"OnRelease": when mouse left button is released inside the widget
You must declare your callback method with cb qualifier, and with one argument of type ref<[inkPointerEvent]>.
You must define an .inkstyle file to use [this.BindProperty]. When you add a widget with a script, this call is required on each widget you create.
A common styleResPath used to define colors is: r"base\\gameplay\\gui\\common\\main_colors.inkstyle". You can see a Json representation of this file on Discord.
You can find other styles using WolvenKit.
Main entry-point to get systems for gameplay / environment / etc.
See the global function [GetGameInstance] which explains how to get a `GameInstance`.
CDPR only.
Get system used to execute callback functions after a delay. It runs functions asynchronously in game loop.
Get system used to spawn particle effects in the world.
Get elapsed time since the simulation started. Time is reset when navigating between menu and in-game scenes. Time is paused when game is paused (e.g. inventory menu is open).
CDPR only.
Get system used to teleport a [GameObject] to [Vector4] coordinates or to a [NodeRef].
Get system used to change game time, including time dilation.
Get system used to summon vehicles and unlock vehicles in V's garage.
See also [VehicleObject], [VehicleComponent] and [vehicleController] to access more vehicle behaviours.
Value is meaningless as-is. You can convert the value to KPH or MPH by using the code from script car_hud.
You have to follow a small set of rules to write documentation about a class. The format described below is required to show the documentation in NativeDB.
Option "Page description" must be turned off in "Page options". You can find the feature when moving your mouse over the title of the page.
Title of the page must be the native name of the class. You can configure code syntax in NativeDB with option Pseudocode · Legacy to only show native names.
DO write vehicleBaseObject
DON'T write VehicleObject
Add header "Description" using block "Heading 1".
DO write Description
DON'T write anything else, like descriptionS
After this header, you can add content (like a paragraph) to describe useful knowledge about the class. It will be visible like this in NativeDB:
Add header "Functions" using block "Heading 1", if it doesn't exist already. You can then add functions after this header, as described below.
DO write Functions
DON'T write anything else, like Methods
Add a function using block "Heading 3". This header must be the signature of the function using the Pseudocode · Legacy code syntax.
If the signature of the function is not valid, your change request will not be merged.
You should use the feature provided by NativeDB to quickly copy the signature of a function in your clipboard. You can do so like this:
As an example with the function FindEntityById, it will look like this in your clipboard, ready to paste in GitBook:
Like with the description, you can then add content below the header of the function to describe it.
You're ready to go on with the next guide:
One big rule is to add documentation when a class / a function is not explicit.
For example, the name of the class PreventionSystem is not clear for someone who only played the game. In this case it is useful to add a sentence describing that Prevention means NCPD / the police.
DO add documentation to describe a behavior that is not already explicit.
DON'T add documentation about a class like PlayerPuppet, only to say "Class of the player".
DON'T add documentation about a function like IsMoving, only to say "Return true when player is moving, false otherwise".
One phrase, one idea.
Reading is hard, keep it as short as possible. Below are patterns you can reuse to structure your comment:
When a general description is somehow required and useful to provide context.
Short description (up to 3 phrases).
Elaborate description (optional, when short description is not enough to fit knowledge).
Provide related resources / references (optional, when related and newcomers are not aware of it).
When behavior is already explicit, but an argument requires a description and more information like a default value, list of known values, etc.
Short description (optional).
Argument with description and optionally the default value / a list of known values.
This documentation is not about showing how to use a snippet of code: be it in Redscript, Lua or else. In this spirit, writing code in the documentation should be avoided. If it is deemed really useful, it should be as short as possible.
is already present to share knowledge about the code and scripting in general. You should share your findings in this space, not in this documentation.
More than often, people played the game and knows about the vocabulary it uses. It is preferable to use game's vocabulary to be on the same page.
For example, it is preferred to tell Prevention is about NCPD. This way, when you document other parts of the game related to Prevention, you can use the keyword NCPD. Others will understand what you're talking about.
As another example, you can write V when talking about the PlayerPuppet. It should be explicit for anyone, and is shorter to write than the player.
A function might need some kind of predefined data as arguments. Think about the CName type, it is a string-like type but values are not listed like enums. We don't know about them. In this case, a modder will have to dig and search what values the function accepts as a CName.
If you know all or even only one valid value, you should list them when documenting the function. This way, others know what data to use when they need to call this function too.
If the list of values is very big, use a link instead to reference some Sheet-like document containing all known values.
If the list of values is accessible using WolvenKit, add a note about it and provide the path where to look for the data.
An argument of a function is optional when marked with the opt prefix. It can be helpful to describe what default value is used. It can look like this:
In the codebase, you can find features that are not related to the gameplay, saves, the world, etc. For example, you should not care nor mess around with the TelemetrySystem.
In this case, you can add the comment "CDPR only". It is short and explicit enough to tell other modders:
There is nothing to see for modding purpose.
After reading this, you should better grasp what you can document and how. Don't hesitate to go through the current documentation. It can be helpful to see how other parts are already documented, to get more familiar with these guidelines.
This guide explains what syntax you can use to format the documentation for NativeDB.
Used by functions of [TargetingSystem], to specify the parameters for searches of targets.
[this.testedSet] decides the shape of the area of the search (in the limits of [this.maxDistance]). [TargetingSet.Frustum] covers the whole cone of vision of the instigator. [TargetingSet.Visible] and [TargetingSet.ClearlyVisible] additionally require differing degrees of line-of-sight. [TargetingSet.Complete] covers a sphere around the instigator.
Represents non-player characters (NPCs) in the game.
These are the characters that the player interacts with but doesn't directly control, such as enemies, civilians, vendors, and allies.
AI Behaviors: contains the logic for how NPCs think and act. This includes things like combat AI (how an enemy attacks, seeks cover, or flees), daily routines (what civilians do during the day), and response behaviors (like reacting to gunfire or the player's presence).
FindEntityByID(self: ScriptGameInstance, entityId: entEntityID) -> handle:entEntity# gameweaponObject
## Description
Tell me what is not explicit about this object. It should be relevant information.
You can omit this section when you have nothing to say here.
## Functions
#### CanReload(self: handle:gameweaponObject) -> Bool
This is an example of what you should NOT write documentation for. The signature
of the function and the name are already explicit about what this function does.
#### GetAttack(recordName: CName) -> handle:gameIAttack
You can append functions one after the other, preferably in alphabetical order. In
this case, it could be useful to list known values used by the argument `recordName`.
Or reference a place where the list is already available (maybe using WolvenKit)
for example. If in WKit, you can indicate the path where to look for the data.#### GetVehicleSystem(self: ScriptGameInstance) -> handle:gameVehicleSystem
Get system used to summon vehicles and unlock vehicles in V's garage.
See also [VehicleObject], [VehicleComponent] and [vehicleController] to access more
vehicle behaviours.#### Lerp(a: Vector3, b: Vector3, t: Float) -> Vector3
Linearly compute an intermidiate position between `a` and `b`.
`t` is a factor with values between `0.0` and `1.0`:
- when `t = 0.0` it returns `a`
- when `t = 0.5` it returns `(b - a) * 0.5 + a`
- when `t = 1.0` it returns `b``nameOfArgument` optional description of argument (default is `value`).[this.searchFilter] identifies the nature of the objects that will qualify for the search. See REDmod script resources for examples of currently used filters, like [TSF_NPC].
Factions: NPCs can belong to factions (e.g., gangs or corporate groups), and this affects how they interact with other factions and the player. You can adjust faction relationships, which influences whether NPCs are hostile, friendly, or neutral.
Code
🟢
`content`
Useful to highlight arguments of a function.
Note: it doesn't support complex code block with a language (like ```lua ```).
URL
🟢
[label](https://)
You can add URL link with a label. URL must starts with https://.
Lists
🟠
- Item A
- Item B
1. Item 1
2. Item 2
You can add ordered lists, unordered lists and tasks lists. In all cases, they will be visible as unordered lists using - as a prefix.
Note: you must not add newlines per item. It is not supported for now and formatting will not work as expected in NativeDB.
Markdown example will look like this: - Item A - Item B - Item 1 - Item 2 - Item T - Item D
Bold / Italic
🔴
**bold**
*italic*
Headers
🔴

Class reference
🟢
[ClassName]
Write the native name / alias name of a class between brackets ([]). NativeDB will automatically format it as a link to navigate to the class.
Property reference
🟢
[this.prop] [ClassName.prop]
When documenting a class, you can reference its own properties using this. followed by the name of the property.
You can also reference properties of other classes using ClassName. instead of this..
It must be surrounded by brackets ([]) in both cases.
Function reference
🟢
[this.GetStuff] [ClassName.SetStuff]
When documenting a class, you can reference its own functions using this. followed by the name of the function.
You can also reference functions of other classes using ClassName. instead of this..
It must be surrounded by brackets ([]) in both cases.
Enum / Bitfield reference
🟢
[Enum.Value] [Bitfield.Value]
You can reference value of an enum and value of a bitfield.
# FigTree
## Description
It is made of branches and leaves. A [FigBranch] can spawn up to 5 other branches.
It can also grow [FigFruit], up to 16 on a single branch.
See also [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fig).
## Functions
#### GetAge() -> Uint32
UTC timestamp in seconds.
Same as [this.age].
#### GrowFruits(opt probability: Float) -> array:handle:FigFruit
`probability` can be between 0.0 and 1.0 (default is 0.5):
- 0.0 grows zero fruits.
- 1.0 grows fruits on all branches based on their capacity.
