# Create a Persistent Object from Server

Clients are created when someone joins the game. Entities are also created by that client.

However, no one in particular has ownership of persisent objects, so they can be created Directly on the server, and then edited or deleted from anywhere too.

## No Code Example

In the above example, whenever a new room is created, a new persistent object modelling a ball is created.

## Syntax on server in JS

<pre class="language-javascript"><code class="lang-javascript"><strong>var theNewPO = new PersistentObject(
</strong>{name: 'ball', size: 2}, // first argument must be a dictionary of the properties
room);  //second argument must be the room ref (not id) where you want to put the PO
</code></pre>

You are creating a new instance of PersistentObject and that is returned and its reference is stored in "theNewPO" variable.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://rocket-networking.gitbook.io/docs/server-side-scripting/create-a-persistent-object-from-server.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
