Description

Each item has a property which is often used by the system to contain the object_id of the object to send the item's message to. The Aux_Value property is only used by the system if an object is referenced on the on_item command line. If no object is referenced, the message will be directed to the current object regardless of the value of this property.

If this property is not so used to hold an object reference in an on_item command, you may use it to store any integer value you might wish to have associated with the item.
