# BIS_fnc_replaceWithSimpleObject

*Function · Object Manipulation · Arma 3 v1.62*

## Description

Replaces a normal object with a Simple Object.
Object must not contain any crew and must be placed on the ground.

> [!NOTE]
> - Useful if you do not have access to simple object adjustment data - e.g. in case of unsupported/discontinued asset.
> - All official assets have the adjustment data defined in config.

## Syntax

```sqf
[object] call BIS_fnc_replaceWithSimpleObject
```

**Parameters:**

- `object`: [Object](../topics/Object.md) - the object that will be replaced by a simple object

**Returns:** [Object](../topics/Object.md) - the created Simple Object

## Examples

### Example 1

```sqf
[tank] call BIS_fnc_replaceWithSimpleObject;
```

## Problems

Use with caution as this technique is not very clean - it should not be used for many objects and definitely **not** in MP games.
