GameObjectClass P1: General Settings

All objects that are derived from GameObject Class have the following properties.

ODF Properties:

[GameObjectClass]
```
baseName = ""
```
baseName is used to override an object's base type identification. This is a quick way to set an object's F-Group unit Icon, Info key card, and Status display image name. By default, baseName will default to the file name of the ODF. For instance: ivmytank.odf will by default look for ivmytank.inf for it's Info card, icon_ivmytank.dds for it's unit icon, and wire_ivmytank.dds for it's status display image. Setting baseName = "ivtank" will make it try to use ivtank.inf, icon_ivtank.dds, and wire_ivtank.dds respectively. Though these can be overridden individually per ODF, this provides a quick and easy way to specify this object's base type.
```
unitName = ""
```
This object's Name. This is what is displayed over the object's head, in the build menu, and Factory terminal panel. This string is also passed through the Translation table for localization.
```
unitIcon = "icon_baseName.tga"
```
This is the icon image that appears in the unit's F group. Default is the gCfg (baseName).
Note: This setting is not ODF Inherited.
```
unitStatus = "wire_baseName.tga"
```
This is the status image that appears above the weapons panel. Default is the gCfg (baseName).
Note: This setting is not ODF Inherited.
```
infoName = "baseName.inf"
```
This is the Info key card that comes up when you press the Interact key while looking at an object. If not specified, it looks for the ODF name, with .inf extension. If that is not found, it looks for baseName with .inf extension.
```
ignoreMissingInf = false
```
If this is true, it will squelch the warnings about missing .inf files from this odf.
Note: This is not ODF Inherited.
```
canInteract = true
```
Determines if this object can be interacted with. Controls info card key interaction, point-space reticle interaction, being able to see health/ammo when looking at the object, etc.

```
nation = race letter determined by the first character of the object's ODF
name.
