Object Gimmicks

Sponges are internally labelled as type A,B,C,D and E, dictated how they expand. For B, they expand equally in all directions. In A and D, the bottom face of the sponge stays in the same place, causing it to expand upwards. In C and E, the top face stays static, causing it to expand downwars. In D and E, the back face stays in the same place, causing it to expand forward.

An unusual quirk of the way these five classes have been set up is that it causes the sponges to shift from their coordinates. In the above screenshot of J07 Outrageous Station (Fld_OctTrench_OctMsn), we can see Obj_SpongeAOcta and Obj_SpongeCOcta occupying the same coords of (735, 285, -90). In the actual game, these sponges become adjacent to each other, with A moving up 5 units and C moving down 5 units.

Normal sponges scale up to 60 units in all dimensions. Rectangles scale to the same degree except for X, which scale to 90 units. Sponges marked Small only grow to 45 units.
