# Object

The base class of all `class` types.

```
class Object
{
   bool bDestroyed;

   class  GetClass();
   string GetClassName();
   class  GetParentClass();

   virtualscope void Destroy();

   virtual virtualscope void OnDestroy();
}
```

- `bDestroyed`

   This object wants to be destroyed but has not yet been garbage collected.

- `GetClass`

   Returns the class type of this object.

- `GetClassName`

   Returns a string representation of the class type of this object.

- `GetParentClass`

   Returns the class type of this object's parent class.

- `Destroy`

   Destroys this object. Do not use the object after calling this. References
   to it will be invalidated.

- `OnDestroy`

   Called just before the object is collected by the garbage collector. **Not
   deterministic** unless the object is linked into the thinker list, in which
   case it is destroyed earlier in a deterministic setting. Not all `Thinker`s
   are linked into this list, so be careful when overriding this. Any `Actor`
   will generally be safe.
