Each '''object''' can have multiple '''references''' (the count of references is displayed in the [[Object Window]]). If any of the properties of an object are changed in the [[Object Window]], all its references are also changed in-game. However, references also hold some data that is unique to them.

Different references of the same object can be set differently. | If you double click on an object in the Render Window, you will see the reference data.
