Actions (maps)

This page should correctly be named "[Actions]"; it is wrong due to technical restrictions.

Section

Section didn't exist, actions were specified inline in the [Triggers] section with only one action per trigger.

Section didn't exist, actions were specified inline in the [Triggers] section with up to two actions per trigger.

The typical [Actions] section looks like this:

[Actions]
ID=NUM,A1,A1P1,A1P2,A1P3,A1P4,A1P5,A1P6,A1P7

The meanings are as follows:

String	Meaning
ID	The Action's ID. Has to be the same as the Trigger's ID.
NUM	Amount of actual actions in this Action.
A1	The first action (its index in the Available Actions list)
A1P1	The first parameter for A1, defaults to 0
A1P2	The second parameter for A1, defaults to 0
A1P3	The third parameter for A1, defaults to 0
A1P4	The fourth parameter for A1, defaults to 0
A1P5	The fifth parameter for A1, defaults to 0
A1P6	The sixth parameter for A1, defaults to 0
A1P7	The seventh parameter for A1, defaults to 0

Additional actions are listed in the same manner. A single Action can contain about 20 actions (the parser stops reading after 512 characters).

The typical section looks exactly like in TS:

[Actions]

The meanings are as follows:

String	Meaning
