The Object Code Bits (or short OCB) are used inside the Level Editor during the making of new Tomb Raider Levels, e.g. Custom Levels.

The OCB can be used to assign a certain parameter to an Object, to make this object function in a certain way - e.g. to make an untriggered mummy appear inactive on the floor or tell the Spikes object whether they are supposed to be on the floor or on the ceiling.

To assign an OCB to an object, one has to select it using the mouse and then press "O". A pop-up menu will appear where the OCB can be entered using a number.
