GameobjectParam

In Pikmin 3, object generators can have special properties that can be edited per instance, such as health or drops. For instance, while Female Sheargrubs have 45 health by default, you can place a specific Female Sheargrub on the map with just 1 health point. This article explains those properties.

Basic information

Terminology

• Identifier: Name used by the generator to spawn objects into the map. This is what the game uses to load from /romfs/CMCmn/generator/<map name>.
• Object/Gameobject: Something that spawns into the map when you load the map. Creatures, obstacles, plants, etc.
• Float: A number with decimal points (e.g. 1.5).
• Integer: A number without a decimal (e.g. 1).
• Boolean: Either "0" or "1" to represent "false" or "true".

Example

An example of a Dwarf Bulborb that has double health, and drops between three and ten Juicy Gaggles upon death.

"Kochappy"

"0005"

Properties

Order	Readable name	Identifier	Value	Notes
01	Creature	-	"<Identifier>"	Helpful links: enemies by identifier, enemies by picture/in-game name.
02	Tags	-	"" "" ""	The first quote holds this object's tag, the second and third hold the tags of other objects this object wants to know about. For example, a bridge would be "bridge1" "pile1" "" to give itself the tag bridge1 and looks for a partner tagged with pile1. The tags also seem to be arbitrary. So names like BlueRiverBridge or CaliforniaHawaiiBridge work.
03	???	-	Usually "0005" or "0007"	Unknown
04	???	-	0	Unknown. Has the comment # Face ID.
05	???	-	0	Unknown. Has the comment # Face Message Table.
06	Position	"mPos"	<float float float>	Location in 3D space.
07	Scale	"mBaseScale"	<float>	Exact use unknown, as testing has shown many objects ignore changes to this value.
08	Rotation	"mPosture"	<float float float>	Sets X, Y, and Z rotation of the spawned object.
09	Saving	"mSaveOption"	See here	Exact use is unknown. The table below in this article holds its values.
10	???	"mPosAlign"	1	Unknown
11	Number	"mNum"	1	Amount of the object that spawns.
12	???	"mEmitRadius"	0.0	Unknown
13	Drops	"mDrop"	See here	Items that the object spawns upon death. The table below in this article holds its values.
14	Health	"mMaxLife"	{<Float>}	For reference, Bulborbs have 1000 health, and dirt walls have 6000.
15	All health ratio	"mAllLifeRatio"	{<Float>}	A multiplier for the object's health. So 200HP and a "mAllLifeRatio" of 4 = 800HP. Used by the Long Legs bosses.
15	Arctic variant	"mWhite"	{<Boolean>}	Changes the object into the snow variant. Used by the Shaggy Long Legs.
15	Already on land	"mLand"	{<Boolean>}	Changes if the object is hiding before the fight. Used by the Long Legs bosses.
15	Save landed status	"mLandSave"	{<Boolean>}	After the object is deployed, this dictates if it stays on the ground after the day's end. Used by the Long Legs bosses.
16	Health ratio	"mLifeRatio"	{<Float>}	A multiplier for the object's health. So 200HP and a "mLifeRatio" of 4 = 800HP. Some objects do not respond to mMaxLife, so in those cases, use this.
16	???	"mBreakFlag"	{0}	Unknown
16	???	"mForceSplineWalk"	{0}	Unknown
16	???	"mRotYDeg"	{<Float>}	Unknown
17	Pikmin/leader ID	"mColor"	<Integer>	0 for Pikpik carrot, 1 for Purple Pikmin, 2 for Blue Pikmin, 3 for Red Pikmin, 4 for White Pikmin, 5 for Yellow Pikmin, 6 for Winged Pikmin, 7 for Rock Pikmin, 8 for Alph, 9 for Brittany, 10 for Charlie, 11 for Louie, 12 for Olimar.
18	Max Pikmin to convert	"mSwallowMax"	<Integer>	Used by Candypop Buds to decide when the flower wilts away.
