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,

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.
