make sure you are in "advanced" mode. (if not, click on "easy" top right corner of the editor).

Now click on  "show ID's".

Not sure if you need the editor update for this (but who can live without it?)

Turning off street lights is one use, camcreating at them etc also.

Basicly for manipulating map objects if i understood it right :p

Basicly doing anything to objects in the game world (The islands)
You can use stuff like object 10101 setdammage 1 to destroy bridges etc
I've tried, but failed.. Can you use "deletevehicle object 10101"?

afaik the map objects can not be deleted/moved as it was used in MP cheats... So BIS blocked that to stop those cheats happening...

Yes, you can use object ID's with waypoints...

[groupOne, 1] setWPPos (position object objectID)

Check the Com Ref for the use of setWPPos... :P
I'm too lazy to explain... ;D

Never tested this actually, so no guarantees whether it works or not... ::)
