Container

This article is incomplete. You can help by filling in any blank descriptions. Further information might be found in a section of the discussion page. Please remove this message when no longer necessary.

Containers hold items such as Misc Items, Weapons, Armor, Notes and Ingestibles that can be put into an actor's inventory. Containers can also contain leveledItems that allow for finer control over what items spawn in the container. Containers can also have Havok physics which allows them to be moved around by the player or other forces.
