Skyrim Mod:Mod File Format/COLL
The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995
COLL records are "collision layers". A collision layer is essentially an invisible box around/near NPCs/objects/camera, indicating different kinds of checks if they collide with other boxes.
If a box of type A collides with a box of type B, and the formid of A is in the CNAM field of type B then some kind of action is triggered.
C | SubRecord | Name | Type/Size | Info |

+ | DESC | unknown | lstring | Description (presumably for CK) |
+ | BNAM | unique id? | uint32 | Unique id (within COLL), may be used instead of FormID to reference internally |
+ | FNAM | debug color | rgb | Debug Color |
+ | GNAM | flags | uint32 | Flags
|
+ | MNAM | name | zstring | Name, always same as EDID |

- | CNAM | interactables | formid[] | Collides with..., End-to-end COLL formids, total count INTV. Presumably these are to indicate if the 2 collide there is something to check/do. |
