XML tags

CONS

XML tag	Content type	Description
<Flags>	flag	The "alarm console" flag decides what autoprompt is displayed when the character is close to a console ("autoprompt_useconsole" or "autoprompt_usealarm"). AlarmConsole
<Position>	float x3	This is used to compute where the character should stand to use the console. In console coordinates.
<Orientation>	float x3	This is used to compute where the character should face to use the console. In console coordinates.
<ConsoleGeometry>	link	OFGA instance number (#N)
<ScreenGeometry>	link	absolute/relative path to a *.dae file
<ScreenGunkFlags>	flag	AGQG (Gunk) flags (trimmed list) see OniSplit -help enums for more flags None NoCollision NoObjectCollision NoCharacterCollision NoDecal TwoSided Invisible
<InactiveTexture>	char[32]	The screen textures specified here are used only if CONS object has empty texture names. TXMPfile_name.oni (don't use file prefix/suffix)
<ActiveTexture>	char[32]	The screen textures specified here are used only if CONS object has empty texture names. TXMPfile_name.oni (don't use file prefix/suffix)
