 This is an example of an element class which which has a visual appearance, physical interaction, is animated, has two lights, has a speaker and moves along a rail. Basically this describes a kind of train running on a rail between two destinations. This is an example of an element class which which has a visual appearance, physical interaction, is animated, has two lights, has a speaker and moves along a rail.

 The above script code creates a working element class which adds instances of BehaviorElement to the game world set up with the defined behaviors. If you want to have a unique element instance for your class to work with you can modify the code like this: The above script code creates a working element class which adds instances of BehaviorElement to the game world set up with the defined behaviors.

 Using unique instances allows to add run-time features to your class on top of what BehaviorElement provides without creating an own behavior. In general it is recommended to work with behaviors only and creating your own ones. This way you can reuse game logic across different projects easily. Using unique instances allows to add run-time features to your class on top of what BehaviorElement provides without creating an own behavior.

 XML Element classes allow to create new element classes using an XML file (''*.deeclass'') instead of writing script code. XML element classes always subclass from an existing script class or XML element class. Using an XML element class you can change properties added by the behavior definitions. XML Element classes allow to create new element classes using an XML file (''*.deeclass'') instead of writing script code.

 This example creates a simple XML element class based on the #@LinkApiDocDEDS2_HTML~classDragengine_1_1Scenery_1_1SimpleElementClass.html,SimpleElementClass~@#. It modifies some element properties to use a specific model, skin and rig resource. The path are either absolute path (if starting with ''/'') or relative to the directory the ''*.deeclass'' file is located in. This example creates a simple XML element class based on the #@LinkApiDocDEDS2_HTML~classDragengine_1_1Scenery_1_1SimpleElementClass.html,SimpleElementClass~@#.

 This example creates a complex XML element class which is based on the #@LinkApiDocDEDS2_HTML~classDragengine_1_1Scenery_1_1GenericBehaviorElementClass.html,GenericBehaviorElementClass~@#. This allows adding behaviors inside the ''*.deeclass'' file avoiding the need to write an explicit script class to do the same. This is the example file used in the behavior factory video above. This example creates a complex XML element class which is based on the #@LinkApiDocDEDS2_HTML~classDragengine_1_1Scenery_1_1GenericBehaviorElementClass.html,GenericBehaviorElementClass~@#.
