In scripting, the "object" data type contains instances of game resources that have been created in-game. Most objects are created by the toolset, for example by placing creatures in an area or by inserting items into an inventory. However, they can also be dynamically created using the CreateObject function.

Objects which are not in the current area list are not accessible by tag-based searches.
So, plot flags are generally used to store information about areas and their objects which might be referenced when the player is elsewhere. As long as you don't add a journal entry, no journal is given to the player when the plot flag is set. For situations that require more than binary values, local variables can be set on the player or the module.
