InitActor.bcsv

InitActor.bcsv and it's variants (like InitActor2D.bcsv) are all structured the same way, and define certain values for the object during it's initialization.

Field Name	Type	Description
InitFunction	string	The name of the function that this entry corresponds to. Functions: Rail: Only uses Data. "" for "Doesn't use Rails". "Use" for "Can use Rails". "Needs" for "Requires a Rail" DefaultPos: Only uses Data. "o" for Enabled, "x" for Disabled. UseScaleForParam: Only uses Data. "o" for Enabled, "x" for Disabled. Model: Only uses Data. The name of the model to use. Executor: Only uses Data. Check the executor list below this table for more details. Light: Only uses Data. The name of the Light Type to use. Binder: "o" for Enabled, "x" for Disabled. Effect: The name of the Effect group to use. Sound:The name of the Sound group to use. You can offset the sound from the object position using the Param00VecX, Y, and Z. Clipping: Only uses Param00F32. The distance that this object will clip out at. GroupClipping: DemoSimpleCastAll: StarPointer: DebugNode: Useless.
Data	string	The main data input. Most InitFunctions use this.
Param00Int	int	An integer parameter
Param00F32	float	A float parameter
Param01F32	float	A second float parameter
Param00Str	string	A string parameter, different from the Data parameter.
Param00VecX	float	The X Value of a Vector3 parameter.
Param00VecY	float	The Y Value of a Vector3 parameter.
Param00VecZ	float	The Z Value of a Vector3 parameter.
