Enumerator Types:	StaticObject.Category enum that stores StaticObject categories. Note that StaticObject.Category values are not obtained by calling static:getCategory() - that calls Object.getCategory(static) and will always return the value Object.Category.STATIC. Instead you need to use static:getDesc().category to find the StaticObject.Category! StaticObject.Category = { "VOID": 0, "UNIT": 1, "WEAPON": 2, "STATIC": 3, "BASE": 4, "SCENERY": 5, "CARGO": 6 }

Notes:	Cargo objects are still static objects and retain access to the whole static object class functions. The function Object.getCategory() will return a value of 6 for cargo objects instead of 3 as it would for any other type of static object.
