Mission Editing Terms

[victimchild 0]

This topic will be on terms used in all missions (hopefully).

term:this

used in:init lines only

description: This is used to specify the selected unit or object. I use this in every one of my missions at least fifty times. It helps to not have to name every object and unit in the game.

example: this setdammage 1

Hmm maybe it´s just me but the syntax and terms are quite good handled in the official ComRef, aren´t they ?

hmm - and what about triggers and waypoints or scripts?

The description is also a nice try but not really explaining

the details.

Stuff like this has high potential to confuse or mislead other newbies like i've seen dozen of times yet.

However Balschoiw is absolutely right with pointing you

to the comref.
