In Sonic Generations, there are several objects that have special properties to them. If Sonic can interact with something in the level (such as push it, ride it if it's moving, or destroy it), chances are it's an object. Almost anything that moves, or can be moved, is an object with the exception of a few dynamic terrain objects (such as the Eagles in Dragon Road Day in Sonic Unleashed; no such similarity seems to be in Sonic Generations).
There are a vast amount of objects, some that are general purpose objects and others that are level specific, but can be added to other levels if necessary (through modifying the resources, but that's for another guide).

Common Properties
IsCastShadow
- This property is common to nearly if not most every object in the game. For objects such as rings and springs, it makes the object cast a shadow. For special objects such as cameras and sound effects, it doesn't seem to do anything.
Range
- This property sets the draw distance of the object. If the range is really low, it probably won't be able to be seen from far away. If it's really high, then you can see it from a mile away.
SetObjectID
- This is the object's ID, which is used to link it with other objects such as ObjCameraObjectLook.
Ring
IsLightSpeedDashTarget
- false = The ring cannot be light dashed upon.
- true = The ring can be light dashed upon.
Item
ItemType
- 0 = 1-Up
NOTE: ItemType of 1 or higher will cause the object to not exist.
GoalSignboard
ResultsPosition
- This is the place where the results screen happens. If you want to modify the rotation of the results screen, rotate the signboard object itself.
GoalRing
ResultsPosition
- This is the place where the results screen happens. If you want to modify the rotation of the results screen, rotate the object itself.
ClassicItemBox
IsRevive
- false = The item box, once popped open, will not respawn.
- true = The item box will respawn after it is popped open.
ItemType
- 1 = 10 Rings
- 2 = 1-Up
- 3 = Speed Shoes
- 4 = Invincibility
- 5 = Skateboard
- 6 = Undefined
- 7 = Undefined (presumably 0)
- 8 = Fire Shield
- 9 = Bubble Shield
- 10 = Thunder Shield
NOTE: An ItemType of 0/Undefined will simply cause the item box to not exist.
TreasureSearchHideType
- 0 = The item can't be detected via the treasure search skill.
- 1 = The item can be detected via the treasure search skill.
Spring (Any type)
FirstSpeed
- This sets how fast Sonic is launched from the spring initially.
KeepVelocityDistance
- This parameter sets how long Sonic keeps his velocity for before gravity starts acting on him. If you set it to a very high number (such as 5000), gravity will not work on Sonic and he'll keep on going forward until he hits another spring or object that snaps him out of it.
MotionType (Modern)
- 0 = Sonic does his normal springing animation.
- 1 = Sonic does his normal springing animation.
- 2 = Sonic goes directly into his falling animation.
- 3 = Sonic spins momentarily, and then unspins.
- 4 = <---This is an image to show what Sonic looks like when he's launched from the spring; it's kinda hard to explain.
- 5 = Sonic does a frontflip.
- 6 = Sonic goes into the animation that he does when he hits a balloon.
- 7 and above: The game crashes.
OutOfControl
- This sets how long the controls lock up after touching the spring.
IsTo3D
- false = If Sonic is in a 2D section, Sonic will just speed along.
- true = If Sonic is in a 2D section, Sonic will switch back into the 3D perspective.
m_IsMonkeyHunting
- false = Spring acts normally
- true = Sonic will be steered automatically to the target point(m_MonkeyTarget) after using the spring. Note that an accurate angle/speed is still needed to reach it.
AdlibTrickJump
SizeType
- 0 = The Trick Ramp will be smaller than before.
- 1 = The Trick Ramp will be its normal size.
UpReel
IsWaitUp
- false = Upreel activated by default, Sonic can use it anytime he wants
- true = Upreel will wait until an event triggers it so Sonic can use it
Switch
Type
- 0 = Once turned on, it will not turn off.
- 1 = Once turned on, it will turn off once stepped off.
- 2 = Once turned on, it will not turn off until it reaches the time specified (in seconds) by "OffTimer"
General Floor
The model of the floors depend on the stage. The types and sizes are specific to each stage's resources.
FloorSize
- Normally between 0-3, it will use a bigger platform model if available.
FloorType
- While it depends on the stage, 0 tends to be the regular platform, 1 the kind of platforms that fall(red), and 2 or more are normally big blocks.
(Classic)DashPanel
IsUseDelayCamera
- false = The dash panel will not momentarily delay the camera.
- true = The dash panel will momentarily delay the camera.
IsTo3D
- false = If Sonic is in a 2D section, Sonic will just speed along.
- true = If Sonic is in a 2D section, Sonic will switch back into the 3D perspective.
OutOfControl
- This sets how long the controls lock up after touching the dash panel.
SetRigidBody
- This object creates an invisible wall, but however, the collision is a little off in SonicGLVL for whatever reason.
Cannon
BaseVel
- This parameter sets how hard the cannon launches Sonic. If it's too high, Sonic will miss his target. Likewise, if it's too low, Sonic will fall short.
DstPos
- This sets the position to where the cannon launches Sonic.
Cameras
Many camera objects are activated via a nearby ChangeVolumeCamera, which sets the collision area where a custom camera will be active (e.g. ObjCameraPan). These ChangeVolumeCameras use the Target property to link to such cameras. Ease_Time_Enter and Ease_Time_Leave are used to ease in and out of the camera. Other than that, a ChangeVolumeCamera doesn’t seem to do much on its own.
ObjCameraBlend
Presumably blends two cameras together.
ObjCameraFix
Locks the camera in one spot; the direction from the object itself to the TargetPosition.
ObjCameraNormal
Resets the camera, after being activated by a ChangeVolumeCamera or CameraCollisionBoard presumably.
CameraCollisionBoard
Used in the beginning of Seaside Hill, this is like a ChangeVolumeCamera since it activates cameras, but instead of using a rectangle to define the area, it acts more like a wall. When Sonic passes it, the B camera activates. When he passes in the opposite direction, the A camera activates (defined by the SetObjectID for ACameraID and BCameraID respectively). However, if Sonic doesn’t pass the collision exactly, the camera will be stuck until Sonic hits another CameraCollisionBoard or dies. The LinkObjID Property can be used to link other CameraCollisionBoards by ID into a set, so that when Sonic passes through all of them, the camera returns to normal (by setting an ID of 0). The camera also returns to normal when you go into a 2D section and leave it.
ObjCameraParallel
This camera stays a set distance away from Sonic and always points in the same direction regardless of Sonic’s own direction. Unfortunately, it appears rotating the object itself in SonicGLvl has no effect in-game; the Yaw property changes the camera’s direction (along the XZ pane). Pitch sets how much the camera looks down at Sonic (e.g. 45 and a value of 0 for Fovy would make this camera much like Sonic 3D Blast’s camera in theory), and ZRot is the rotation of the camera. TheOffsets seem to move the camera up and down along the respective axis (e.g. a value of 5 for offsetPitch causes the camera to be 5 units above Sonic’s head assuming a 0 pitch). IsCameraView seems to have no effect – setting it to false does nothing as long as a ChangeVolumeCamera targets it.
ObjCameraPan
Camera looks at Sonic from the location of the camera itself. The CameraPositionMode property sets whether the camera’s position stays stationery or follows Sonic at a user-set distance.
ObjCameraPanVertical
Similar to ObjCameraPan, but the camera aligns vertically to Sonic’s level. CameraPositionMode appears to not have the same effect as with ObjCameraPan.
ObjCameraPoint
Camera stares at this object, regardless of the Target property.
ObjCameraObjectLook
Stares at an object, even if it moves. TargetObject is the object that it looks at. Target doesn't seem to do anything.
ObjCameraPathPath
Hooks to a set path ID to move the camera. Crashes if the ID doesn’t exist.
ObjCameraPathParallel
Acts much like the ObjCameraParallel, but will auto-rotate if the path Sonic is currently on turns (works best in 2D sections, see my video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyeWQ-G_5lI&feature=player_detailpage#t=55s for a demonstration)
ObjCameraVertical
Like the ObjCameraPanVertical, but the camera faces this object, rather than pointing away.
ObjCameraTube
Made for places like Green Hill Modern’s cave after the waterfall, the camera “rides” the path set by the PathID, and points forward.
ChangeNormalCameraParam
Changes the default camera to different settings (e.g. distance, Fovy, etc). Dying and going into a 2D section will revert the camera to defaults. I don't think that there's any other way, however.
