In GoldenEye 007 and Perfect Dark, a stage setup file contains a list of the various objects in a stage, the objectives that need to be completed, and sometimes special commands used to modify this or other aspects of play. The list of 46 different commands are what are usually called object types.
Most of these commands create objects, each with special attributes. However, some of them are used to control the objects or build objectives. The list below will seperate the different object types from the other commands.
Object Types[]

Doors serve the same function in-game as they do in real life. They partition rooms, and also are used to obscure parts of the level to increase framerate. Several kinds of doors can be created. Vertical and horizontally sliding doors, swinging doors, doors that open like an eye, and those that open like an iris. In addition, doors can be locked and automated.
