OverseerScript Extension Objects

OverseerScript™ Extension Objects

In addition to all standard JScript objects and methods, OverseerScript™ supports extension objects which allow for direct access of the Overseer 3D® engine and its advanced features. Using these objects, the 3D cartographer can control how and when each 3D object is made available to the user, what commands the user will be able to access while using the 3D interactive map, and even the weather or time of day. Understanding the properties and methods of these objects is essential in producing interactive maps.
