:Contiguous objects can move as a rigid "whole", or there can be some relative motion within the group (e.g., wheels turning, doors opening, rotors tilting). This is because each object belongs to a separate OBOA element and thus has its own animation, assigned at creation or via script ID. | :Contiguous objects can move as a rigid "whole", or there can be some relative motion within the group (e.g., wheels turning, doors opening, rotors tilting).

It would make sense for wheels/doors to be "parented" to a vehicle's chassis, but at Oni level there is no parenting, i.e., both the chassis and the wheels/doors are animated in world space. | ||

Thus, recurrent object sets (e.g., armored truck, motorcycle, Syndicate van) are not ordered consistently in all the levels where they appear: | :The order of script IDs for contiguous groups of objects is not a reliable indicator of hierarchy.
