Meanings of each string

String	Meaning
Index	This is an index for the list. Any unique string without equals signs will do.
Owner	The Name of the House who should receive this VehicleType.
ID	The ID of this VehicleType.
HEALTH	The amount of health this VehicleType has, expressed in 1/256ths of its total Strength=. (0-256)
X	The X coordinate of the cell which this VehicleType should be placed in.
Y	The Y coordinate of the cell which this VehicleType should be placed in.
FACING	The 256-based facing of this VehicleType. 0 stands for game North (North East of the screen) and increasing numbers rotate clockwise. (0,32..256)
MISSION	The Name of the Mission this VehicleType should be placed in.
TAG	The ID of the Tag attached to this VehicleType, or <none> if no tag should be attached.
VETERANCY	The veteran level of this VehicleType multiplied by 100 - 0 for 'rookie', 100 for 'Veteran', 200 for 'Elite'. Note that you can assign other values, e.g. if you assign 75 then the VehicleType will be created with 75/100ths of experience necessary for Veteran level already accumulated. (0/100/200/0-200)
GROUP	The Group of this VehicleType.
HIGH	If set, the VehicleType is spawned above ground level. Whether it is on ground or on bridge.
FOLLOWS_INDEX	Index of the VehicleType to follow this VehicleType. This causes the follower unit to perfectly mirror the movement of the parent unit. Like in trains, the first carriage will follow the engine, the second carriage will follow the first carriage, and so on. In addition to movement, followers mirror the ownership of the parent unit: If the parent unit switches houses, via a trigger or script, the follower units automatically do so as well.
AUTOCREATE_NO_RECRUITABLE	When a TeamType has Autocreate=no, this VehicleType is Possible values Value Meaning 0 Not available for recruitment. 1 Available for recruitment. If recruitment fails, don't produce from factory.
AUTOCREATE_YES_RECRUITABLE	When a TeamType has Autocreate=yes, this VehicleType is Possible values Value Meaning 0 Not available for recruitment. 1 Available for recruitment. If recruitment of this pre-placed unit fails and AUTOCREATE_NO_RECRUITABLE is set to 0 then produce from factory.
