Objects / Tails7 Objects / Mapper Object (23 June, 2026)


This object stores behavior rules for mapped objects, specifying how they should behave; you can add new "Modes" to it.


Starting with version R1.0.3, the function call order is explicit and is as follows:

    1. Distance Mode
    2. Layer Mode
    3. Mapping Mode
    4. Mapping Screen Mode
    5. Scale Mode
    6. Visible Mode
    7. Rotation Mode


This sequence is executed for all objects in Group.3D Objects on every frame once.

When a mapped object (Group.3D Objects) has the _Active flag set to False, it will not execute all instructions.
