dynPref([autoCreate=boolean], [echoCollision=boolean], [runupFrom=int], [runupToCurrentTime=boolean],
[saveOnQuit=boolean],
[saveRuntimeState=boolean])
Note: Strings representing object names and
arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the
synopsis.
dynPref is undoable, queryable, and NOT editable.
This action modifies and queries the current state of "autoCreate
rigid bodies", "run up to current time", and "run up from"
(previous time or start time).
None
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.
