Pikifen/Misc. features

This page will describe several miscellaneous features in Pikifen that don't quite fit in other pages.

Object links
You can make one object in the area have a link towards another object. This allows one object to send messages to its links, with the appropriate script actions. It also makes it possible for the engine to know how certain special objects should function, when they need to know data about a second object. Connections are one-way, so if you want object A to send messages to object B and vice-versa, you will need to create a link from B to A as well.

To link an object to another, you can either link them in the area editor, or when an object is spawning another. In the latter case, you can specify if you want the link to be from the spawner object to the spawned object, the opposite, or both.
