Introduction
Articles are detachable objects, sometimes referred to as props or projectiles. They have their own sets of variables, attributes, and are controlled primarily by Article Floating Points.
The data below details the numerical IDs of articles, used in commands such as Generate Article (10000100) and Article Visibility (10050200).
Note that Final Smash-based articles will generally crash the game if said Final Smash has not been loaded. If they don't crash the game, they will likely lack pieces, such as being invisible. This is because the External Graphics and/or the model for the final smash is located in FitCharacterFinal.pac, which is only loaded in Final Smash Aura mode.
More information from vBrawl's default articles, including offsets and pointer locations, can be found in Dantarion's article data dump: http://opensa.dantarion.com/tmp/. Some articles are articles of articles (sub-articles); they can only be called by their parent article. For example, when Mario himself calls article 0 he will normally produce his Cape, but when FLUDD calls article 0, it will produce a water blob.
Likewise, articles have their own actions and subactions: a character's subaction 0x1 is always Wait2 (their second "standing idle" animation), while a projectile article's subaction 0x1 is often what the projectile does when it hits an opponent/wall or reaches end-of-life (e.g. Yoshi's thrown Eggs will create a large explosion hitbox, Samus's Homing Missile just makes a graphical effect). Many article lifespans are counted down in a concurrent infinite loop that calls the article's subaction 0x1 on termination.
BE WARNED: the info dump mislabels these Concurrent Infinite Loops as "Animation Command-00". For example in samus.txt's Homing Missiles (Article 3@1FDBC), the second command of Action 0x1 is labeled !Animation Command-00! 0D000200 - 0x4, @19C74; that should instead be Concurrent Infinite Loop 0D000200: threadID?=0x4, offset=@19C74.
