Apep | Object Manager

The Object Manager is a table that contains all the players, units, and objects currently in the game world that are visible to the player. You can access the Object Manager using the _A.OM global variable. There are several sub-tables within the Object Manager that contain units of a specific type.

_A.OM = {
    All = {},
    Enemy = {},
    EnemyCombat = {},
    Friendly = {},
    Roster = {},
    Dead = {},
    Critters = {},
    Object = {},
    GameObject = {},
    DynamicObject = {},
}

The Object Manager contains the following tables:

All

    print( Obj.guid )
    print( Obj.name )
    print( Obj:distance() )
    print( Obj:healthRaw() )
    print( Obj:healthMax() )
    print( Obj:health() )
end
