|Target Type#{{fnl|1}}
|'''Attack Target Type'''
This instructs the TeamType to use the TaskForce to approach and attack the target specified by the second parameter. These attack script actions are inherently self repeating. For example, when executing script action attack structure (0,2), the task force will attack the next structure when the current structure being attacked is destroyed and will continue to destroy enemy buildings until there are no more left. When no more target is left to attack, the script action is complete and the task force moves on to execute its next script action. The completion of this script action could get cut-short in cases the task force gets destroyed or runs out of ammo. Check [[TargetDistanceCoefficientDefault]] as it affects the target selection of these script actions. The following are the target types which can be used:

|Waypoint#{{fnl|1}}
|'''Attack Waypoint'''
This instructs the TeamType to use the TaskForce to attack the waypoint number specified by the second parameter. If any members have {{f|Infiltrate|yes|link}} set they will enter the structure at the waypoint. Members with {{f|Engineer|yes|link}} set will capture the structure provided it does not have {{f|Capturable|no|link}} set or if it has {{f|NeedsEngineer|yes|link}} set. Members with {{f|Agent|yes|link}} set will spy on the structure if it has {{f|Spyable|yes|link}} set. Members that do not have {{f|Assaulter|no|link}} set will garrison the structure if it has {{f|CanBeOccupied|yes|link}} set. Members with {{f|C4|yes|link}} set will blow up the structure if does not have {{f|CanC4|no|link}} set. If there is no building at the specified waypoint, the TaskForce will attack the ground when reaching in range of the waypoint. Refer [[Waypoints]] for details on waypoint.

|Waypoint#{{fnl|1}}
|'''Move To Waypoint'''
This instructs the TeamType to use the TaskForce to move to the waypoint number specified by the second parameter. Refer [[Waypoints]] for details on waypoint. TIP: you could use this script action to get a TeamType to move to Waypoint= number 99 (just about every map has this defined as the center point) - that will mean it will always strive to get to the center of the map, providing a good vantage point from which to perform further script actions and giving the impression that the computer is scouting for enemies.

|CellTag#{{fnl|1}}
|'''Move Into Specific Celltag'''
This instructs the TeamType to use the TaskForce to move into the CellTag specified by the second parameter. This is used when you want the TeamType to trigger a specific Action (when the game tests for the CellTag being entered). CellTags are attached to cells and are used to trigger Events and thus fire Actions when that cell is entered by a unit (or any unit from the TaskForce). The CellTag parameter should be the waypoint parameter for that CellTag from the [CellTags]listing in the map file, hence this script action is only of use on specific map files. Refer [[CellTags]] for details on celltag.

5,n = Guard Area, n = time to guard area in tenths of a minute (multiples of 6 seconds)
|5
 
|Time{{fnl|2}}
This instructs the TeamType to put the TaskForce into Guard Mode (same effect as selecting a group of units and pressing the Guard Mode key as defined in KEYBOARD.INI or clicking the relevant button on the Advanced Command Bar). Units will move to attack enemy units that fall within their range.
|'''Guard Area'''
This instructs the TeamType to put the TaskForce into Guard Mode (same effect as selecting a group of units and pressing the Guard Mode key as defined in [[Keyboard.ini|KEYBOARD.INI]] or clicking the relevant button on the Advanced Command Bar). Units will move to attack enemy units that fall within their range.
6,n = Jump To Script Action, n = line number of script action to jump to.
|-
 
|6
This is used to repeat actions within the ScriptType. The second parameter is the action line number of the ScriptType that you want to jump to. Script Action index starts at 0 whereas the line number starts at 1. So, to jump to the first Script Action whose index is 0, use n=6,1 for this script. Jump to line number could be specified to any of the preceding line numbers, not just to the first Script Action to create a loop of Script Actions.

7,0 = Force Player Win

|Unload Behaviour#{{fnl|1}}
|'''Unload'''
If the TaskForce contains a unit or units that have a valid {{f|Passengers||link}} value set, and those units contain passengers, this command will make the units inside the transport(s) disembark. Note that once the passengers have disembarked, the transport itself is suspended until given a new mission and is therefore no longer considered a part of this TaskForce - this means that you cannot, for example, get units to disembark, do something, then get back into the transport in the same script. The second parameter can be used to control what happens to the transport after it 'deploys' its cargo:

The following is not permanent, when the TaskForce is assigned another mission it abandons the following. TIP: If the support TeamType has this as the first line in its ScriptType, then it will escort the first TeamType.

The actions such as Sleep/Sticky/Guard/Area Guard/Hunt etc. changes the state/mission in which the units are and those remain in that state until those units are destroyed or recruited into another team and given a different command. These actions are never ending, so these can't finish and move to next script action. Such script actions are given as the last script action in their scripts.

|'''Patrol to waypoint'''
This is similar to Move to waypoint. This instructs the TeamType to use the TaskForce to move to the waypoint number specified by the second parameter. The difference is that the units in the TaskForce will move out of their patrol route to actively go and engage any enemy objects that are within their {{f|Sight||link}} as they move to the waypoint. NOTE: this action eats up processor time, because the TaskForce will scan for enemy objects with each movement. If you have a lot of TaskForces (or lots of units in them) engaged in this action, you will experience slowdown in the game - this is one reason why the single player missions are comparatively slow, they use this action a lot. The rate at which the scanning for targets whilst in this mission is controlled by the {{f|PatrolScan||link}} statement in the [AI]section of RULES.INI. Refer [[Waypoints]] for details on waypoint.

This is always used after members of the TaskForce have entered a transport in the same TaskForce and serves two purposes. The effect of this is that the transport will be used to carry out any subsequent movement or deploy actions but after that it is no longer considered a part of this TaskForce and as such is available to be recruited into new TeamTypes. It is this action which enables use of the {{f|TransportsReturnOnUnload|yes|link}} statement in the corresponding TeamType entry. The second purpose is to flag the transport as being 'loaded' with passengers and thus is considered in the AI's targeting logic as a potential threat (see the {{f|ContentScan||link}} entry in the RULES.INI). This action also orders the transport to wait until it is fully loaded before executing any subsequent script actions.

|'''Attack Structure At Waypoint'''
Members of this TaskForce attack the structure at the waypoint specified by the second parameter. This action is very similar to action number 43 although this action does not test for ownership of the structure itself - thus the inclusion of this action allows, for example, InfantryTypes with {{f|Engineer|yes|link}} set to enter structures owned by the same side for the purposes of repair. This would be the most appropriate action to use to get the AI to repair bridges. Use of this also means that the TaskForce will attack the structure with one of its weapons meaning, for example, that units with {{f|C4|yes|link}} set will not C4 the building but shoot at it instead. This is useful if you want to get a TaskForce to destroy a nearby occupiable structure instead of entering it in a bid to prevent the enemy getting hold of it - a tactic used in the Yuri's Revenge AI.

'''Note on Structure number'''
 
Structure number allows the AI to target a specific instance of a building. For example, if there are 5 instances of a power plant in enemy base, AI can choose one of them as target depending on its distance or threat value. By itself several instances of the same building doesn't have different threat value, but threat is cumulative. For example, if there are some units nearby a specific building, its threat rating becomes higher with the additional threat values of the nearby units.
 
Building index used in computation is the position of that building in the [BuildingTypes] list, counting from 0.
 
Logic for target selection:
<pre>0 + index = select building with least threat
65536 + index = select building with highest threat
131072 + index = select nearest building
196608 + index = select farthest building</pre>
 
Reference to 262144 or higher number makes it a do nothing script action and the next action in the script, if it exists is executed.
 
In cases where there is only one instance of a specific building then all the four options would result in selecting the same target.


In cases where multiple instances of the building have equal threat, AI will choose the one which was constructed first by the target side. If the first was destroyed/sold etc., then next constructed building becomes target. Friendlies doesn't pose threat, so it becomes a case of equal threat.
{{fn|1|For convenience, the "#" symbol refers to a number/index of the object type. For example, "Waypoint#" refers to the index number of the Waypoint in the [[Waypoints]] list}}
{{fn|2|Time to guard area in tenths of a minute (multiples of 6 seconds) at normal game speed.}}
{{fn|3|Refers to the structure index in [[BuildingTypes]] combined with a unique target scan determinant. See the [[ScriptTypes/ScriptActions#Notes|Notes]] section for more information}}


Even though the script is specified for a team/task force, every unit in the team executes it individually. This may result in team members choosing a different building as target in cases where multiple instances of a building seem to be equidistant.
==Notes==
ScriptActions that refer to individual buildings use a combination of the building index in the [[BuildingTypes]] list and a special target scan determinant. When the enemy has multiple instances of the same building, this determinant allows the AI team to select its target based on threat or distance. The final value used for these ScriptActions is formed like this:<br/>
{{tt|Building Index + Target Scan Value (Decimal)}}<br/>
The target scan values are as follows:
{|class="wikitable"
!Hex Value
!Decimal Value
!Description
|-
|{{tt|0x0}}
|0
|Lowest threat
|-
|{{tt|0x10000}}
|65536
|Highest threat
|-
|{{tt|0x20000}}
|131072
|Nearest
|-
|{{tt|0x30000}}
|196608
|Farthest
|}
For example, to make the AI team scan for the nearest enemy Allied War Factory, look for the 0-based index of the GAWEAP in the BuildingTypes list (7), add 131072, and use the result as the action parameter: 7 + 131072 = '''131079'''

Revision as of 09:03, 2 May 2019

Parameters Description
P1 (Action) P2 (Argument)
0 Target Type#1 Attack Target Type

This instructs the TeamType to use the TaskForce to approach and attack the target specified by the second parameter. These attack script actions are inherently self repeating. For example, when executing script action attack structure (0,2), the task force will attack the next structure when the current structure being attacked is destroyed and will continue to destroy enemy buildings until there are no more left. When no more target is left to attack, the script action is complete and the task force moves on to execute its next script action. The completion of this script action could get cut-short in cases the task force gets destroyed or runs out of ammo. Check TargetDistanceCoefficientDefault as it affects the target selection of these script actions. The following are the target types which can be used:

Value Target Type Description
0 N/A cancel attack mission
1 Anything anything [VehicleTypes], [AircraftTypes], [InfantryTypes] and [BuildingTypes]
2 Structures any enemy [BuildingTypes]
3 Ore Miners any enemy [VehicleTypes] with Harvester=yes set
4 Infantry any enemy [InfantryTypes]
5 Vehicles any enemy [VehicleTypes]
6 Factories any enemy [BuildingTypes] with a Factory= setting
7 Base Defenses any enemy [BuildingTypes] with IsBaseDefense=yes set
8 Base Threats any enemy objects approaching (or already in) its base and which are in an attack mission
9 Power Plants any enemy [BuildingTypes] with positive Power= values set
Red Alert 2 additions
10 Occupiable any [BuildingTypes] with CanBeOccupied=yes set (usually neutral structures)
11 Tech Buildings any [BuildingTypes] with NeedsEngineer=yes set (usually NeutralTechBuildings=)
1 Waypoint#1 Attack Waypoint

This instructs the TeamType to use the TaskForce to attack the waypoint number specified by the second parameter. If any members have Infiltrate=yes set they will enter the structure at the waypoint. Members with Engineer=yes set will capture the structure provided it does not have Capturable=no set or if it has NeedsEngineer=yes set. Members with Agent=yes set will spy on the structure if it has Spyable=yes set. Members that do not have Assaulter=no set will garrison the structure if it has CanBeOccupied=yes set. Members with C4=yes set will blow up the structure if does not have CanC4=no set. If there is no building at the specified waypoint, the TaskForce will attack the ground when reaching in range of the waypoint. Refer Waypoints for details on waypoint.

2 0 Go Berzerk

Forces infantry units with Cyborg=yes set to go berserk (they consider all objects, including friendly units, equally in their threat scan).(Doesn't seem to work).

3 Waypoint#1 Move To Waypoint

This instructs the TeamType to use the TaskForce to move to the waypoint number specified by the second parameter. Refer Waypoints for details on waypoint. TIP: you could use this script action to get a TeamType to move to Waypoint= number 99 (just about every map has this defined as the center point) - that will mean it will always strive to get to the center of the map, providing a good vantage point from which to perform further script actions and giving the impression that the computer is scouting for enemies.

4 CellTag#1 Move Into Specific Celltag

This instructs the TeamType to use the TaskForce to move into the CellTag specified by the second parameter. This is used when you want the TeamType to trigger a specific Action (when the game tests for the CellTag being entered). CellTags are attached to cells and are used to trigger Events and thus fire Actions when that cell is entered by a unit (or any unit from the TaskForce). The CellTag parameter should be the waypoint parameter for that CellTag from the [CellTags]listing in the map file, hence this script action is only of use on specific map files. Refer CellTags for details on celltag.

5 Time2 Guard Area

This instructs the TeamType to put the TaskForce into Guard Mode (same effect as selecting a group of units and pressing the Guard Mode key as defined in KEYBOARD.INI or clicking the relevant button on the Advanced Command Bar). Units will move to attack enemy units that fall within their range.

6 Action#1 Jump To Script Action

This is used to repeat actions within the ScriptType. The second parameter is the action line number of the ScriptType that you want to jump to.
Note: Script Action index starts at 0 whereas the line number starts at 1. So, to jump to the first Script Action whose index is 0, use n=6,1 for this script. Jump to line number could be specified to any of the preceding line numbers, not just to the first Script Action to create a loop of Script Actions.

7 0 Force Player Win

Forces a game win condition for the owner of the TeamType (they win the game).

8 Unload Behaviour#1 Unload

If the TaskForce contains a unit or units that have a valid Passengers= value set, and those units contain passengers, this command will make the units inside the transport(s) disembark. Note that once the passengers have disembarked, the transport itself is suspended until given a new mission and is therefore no longer considered a part of this TaskForce - this means that you cannot, for example, get units to disembark, do something, then get back into the transport in the same script. The second parameter can be used to control what happens to the transport after it 'deploys' its cargo:

Value Description
0 Keep transports and units - all remain in the team and execute the remainder of the script
1 Keep transport and lose the units - only the transport will execute the remainder of the script
2 Lose transport and keep units - only the units will execute the remainder of the script
3 Lose transports and lose units - nothing executes the remainder of the script
9 0 Deploy

If the TaskForce contains a unit or units that are able to deploy (for example a unit which DeploysInto= a [BuildingType] or has any of Deployer=yes, DeployFire=yes, DeployToFire=yes set) then this action causes them to deploy at the current cell they are occupying (same effect as selecting a unit and pressing the Deploy key as defined in KEYBOARD.INI or clicking the relevant button on the Advanced Command Bar).

10 0 Follow friendlies

This command causes the TaskForce to follow the nearest friendly unit when it moves although it will not function as if it is 'guarding' the unit. The following is not permanent, when the TaskForce is assigned another mission it abandons the following. TIP: If the support TeamType has this as the first line in its ScriptType, then it will escort the first TeamType.

11 Mission#1 Assign New Mission

The objects in the TaskForce are assigned the new mission defined by the second parameter. The actions such as Sleep/Sticky/Guard/Area Guard/Hunt etc. changes the state/mission in which the units are and those remain in that state until those units are destroyed or recruited into another team and given a different command. These actions are never ending, so these can't finish and move to next script action. Such script actions are given as the last script action in their scripts. The following are valid settings for the second parameter:

Value Name Description
Tiberian Sun and Firestorm
0 Sleep object sits around and plays dead, will not acquire targets

14 Hunt scan for and attack enemies wherever they may be on the map
15 Unload while dropping off cargo
16 Sabotage unit runs to place C4 on a building
17 Construction structures use this when building up after initial placement

19 Repair used when repairing an object (e.g. Service Depot)
20 Rescue special team over-ride mission
21 Missile #1uke Silo special launch missile mission
22 Harmless object doesn't fire and is not considered in any threat scan
23 Open while opening or closing a gate to allow passage
24 Patrol patrol a series of waypoints
Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge
0 Sleep object sits around and plays dead, will not acquire targets
1 Attack special attack mission used by AI team types (utilizes threat rating logic)
2 Move simply moving to destination
3 QMove special move to destination after other queued moves occur
4 Retreat object runs away (may even leave the map)
5 Guard object sits around and will engage an enemy that falls within its weapon range
6 Sticky just like guard mode, except the object will engage enemies but not pursue them
7 Enter enter building or transport

12 Return return to co-ordinating object (e.g. spawned object returns to the spawner)
13 Stop stop moving or firing at the first available opportunity
14 Ambush force fire (units with Infiltrate=yes will enter target if possible)
15 Hunt scan for and attack enemies wherever they may be on the map
16 Unload while dropping off cargo (e.g. Landing Craft unloading passengers)
17 Sabotage unit runs to place C4 on a building or Ivan goes to place bomb on object
18 Construction structures use this when building up after initial placement
19 Selling structures use this for deconstruction after being sold
20 Repair used when repairing an object (e.g. Service Depot)
21 Rescue special team over-ride mission
22 Missile #1uke Silo special launch missile mission
23 Harmless object doesn't fire and is not considered in any threat scan
24 Open while opening or closing a gate to allow passage
25 Patrol patrol a series of waypoints
26 Paradrop Approach object is approaching the paradrop site

28 Wait paused and awaiting next mission
29 Move (special duplicate) used when Chrono units are moving to destination
30 Attack (special duplicate) used when units are deployed to fire (e.g. weapons with an area fire effect)
Yuri's Revenge additions
31 Spyplane Approach object is flying towards target
32 Spyplane Overfly object is flying over the target
12 Global Variable#1 Set Global Variable

The global variable number specified in the second parameter is defined as being 'set' (it is allocated a value of '1' or 'true'). This should be employed in specific map files only. This is part of the boolean logic employed by the global variables system in the game engine.

13 Sequence#1 Play Idle Anim Sequence

If the TaskForce contains a unit or units that use SHP graphics (i.e. infantry) then the relevant idle SHP sequence is displayed as defined by the frame numbering system in ART.INI.

14 0 Load Onto Transport

If the TaskForce contains a unit or units that have a valid Passengers= value set, and units whose Size= and PhysicalSize= settings allow them to be carried by that transport, this command will make the units enter the transport.

15 Waypoint#1 Spy On Structure At Waypoint

Should be used only for units with Infiltrate=yes and Agent=yes set. This instructs the TaskForce to enter the structure at the waypoint number specified by the second parameter and spy on the structure if it has Spyable=yes set. If there is no building at the specified waypoint, the TaskForce may not activate correctly and will just remain in their last mission. Refer Waypoints for details on waypoint.

16 Waypoint#1 Patrol to waypoint

This is similar to Move to waypoint. This instructs the TeamType to use the TaskForce to move to the waypoint number specified by the second parameter. The difference is that the units in the TaskForce will move out of their patrol route to actively go and engage any enemy objects that are within their Sight= as they move to the waypoint. NOTE: this action eats up processor time, because the TaskForce will scan for enemy objects with each movement. If you have a lot of TaskForces (or lots of units in them) engaged in this action, you will experience slowdown in the game - this is one reason why the single player missions are comparatively slow, they use this action a lot. The rate at which the scanning for targets whilst in this mission is controlled by the PatrolScan= statement in the [AI]section of RULES.INI. Refer Waypoints for details on waypoint.

17 Script#1 Change Script

Very handy and under utilized - this instructs the TaskForce to execute another ScriptType. The second parameter specifies the number of the ScriptType to execute as listed in the [ScriptTypes] table (consider the table as being numbered starting at 0 for this purpose).

18 Team#1 Change Team

This instructs the TaskForce to join another TeamType. The second parameter specifies the number of the TeamType to join as listed in the [TeamTypes] table (consider the table as being numbered starting at 0 for this purpose).

19 0 Panic

If the TaskForce contains a unit or units that have Fraidycat=yes set then they will run around aimlessly, using the Panic animation from their sequence as defined in ART.INI. Normally used for the civilian units. Units that do not fulfil this criteria lie down and act as if prone.

20 House#1 Change House Ownership

Used in single player missions on specific map files only, this changes ownership of the entire TeamType to the house number specified by the second parameter.

21 0 Scatter

This instructs the TaskForce to scatter (same effect as selecting a group of units and pressing the Scatter key as defined in KEYBOARD.INI).

22 0 Afraid & Run To Shroud

This instructs the TaskForce to behave in a scared manner and it will run to the nearest shrouded cell. The TaskForce will not actively engage in combat, will not acquire targets and will not retaliate (it will scatter instead if attacked).

23 0 Force Player Loss

Forces a game loss condition for the owner of the TeamType (they lose the game).

24 Speech#1 Play Speech

This instructs the TaskForce to play one of the Sofia or EVA voices (depending upon the ParentCountry= or the owner of this TaskForce). The second parameter is the number of the sound to be played from the [DialogList] in the EVA.INI (note that you should consider this list as being numbered from 0 instead of 1 to get the correct numbering convention).

25 Sound#1 Play Sound

This instructs the TaskForce to play one of the generic in game sounds from the [SoundList] in the SOUNDS.INI file (note that for all in game Action and Trigger purposes this number is from an internal table.

26 Movie#1 Play Movie

This instructs the TaskForce to play one of the movies from the [Movies] list in the ART.INI file (note that for all in game Action and Trigger purposes this number is from an internal table.

27 Theme#1 Play Theme

This instructs the TaskForce to play one of the game soundtracks from the [Themes] list in the Theme.INI file (note that for all in game Action and Trigger purposes this number is from an internal table.

28 0 Reduce Ore

Reduces the amount of Ore in the cell that the TeamType is occupying. Used by the special 'weapon' that is inherent with Ore Miners.

29 0 Begin Production

Forces the owner of the TeamType to begin the auto-production process (the AI's behaviour in skirmish games). Should only be used on AI controlled houses.

30 0 Force Sale

Forces the 'fire sale' of all remaining structures owned by the House= to which the TeamType belongs.

31 0 Suicide

This instructs the TaskForce to destroy itself. In effect it commits suicide, usually accompanied by an explosion.

32 Time#1 Start Storm In...

Initiates an Ion Storm (TS) or Weather Storm (RA2) after the time specified. In Red Alert 2, this initiates the Weather Storm intro effect (when the screen goes dark prior to the clouds appearing). The effect is set to be delayed by the number of seconds specified by parameter 2.

33 0 End Storm

This forces an end to the active Ion Storm or Weather Storm.

34 Team#1 Center Map On Team

This will center the screen on the TeamType. The same effect as hitting the Home key as defined in KEYBOARD.INI when the screen centers on your MCV (or the unit defined by the BaseUnit= statement in RULES.INI). The second parameter determines the speed at which the 'camera' switches view to the TaskForce with 0 being instant.

35 Time#1 Shroud Map For Time Interval

This action will shroud the entire map except for the area revealed by the player's own and/or friendly units. The second parameter determines the number of frames for which the map should remain shrouded after which the explored areas are revealed again.

36 Time#1 Reveal Map For Time Interval

This action will reveal the entire map. The second parameter determines the number of frames for which the map should remain revealed after which the map is shrouded again.

37 0 Delete Team Members

This forces dissolved members of the TaskForce to leave the map after which they are deleted (for example aerial transports after their passengers have disembarked).

38 Global Variable#1 Clear Global Variable

The global variable number specified in the second parameter is defined as being 'clear' (it is allocated a value of '0' or 'false'). This should be employed in specific map files only in which the global variable has been defined. This is part of the boolean logic employed by the global variables system in the game engine.

39 Local Variable#1 Set Local Variable

The local variable number specified in the second parameter is defined as being 'set' (it is allocated a value of '1' or 'true'). This should be employed in specific map files only in which the local variable has been defined. This is part of the boolean logic employed by the local variables system in the game engine.

40 Local Variable#1 Clear Local Variable

The local variable number specified in the second parameter is defined as being 'cleared' (it is allocated a value of '0' or 'false'). This should be employed in specific map files only in which the local variable has been defined. This is part of the boolean logic employed by the local variables system in the game engine.

41 0 Unpanic

If the TaskForce contains a unit or units that have Fraidycat=yes set which are currently assigned the Panic= sequence then this action nullifies that effect and the unit(s) adopt their default behaviour.

42 Direction#1 Change Facing

This instructs the TaskForce to turn and face the new direction specified by the second parameter. The facings are as follows:

Value Direction
0 North-East
1 East
2 South-East
3 South
4 South-West
5 West
6 North-West
7 North
43 0 Wait Until Fully Loaded

This is always used after members of the TaskForce have entered a transport in the same TaskForce and serves two purposes. The effect of this is that the transport will be used to carry out any subsequent movement or deploy actions but after that it is no longer considered a part of this TaskForce and as such is available to be recruited into new TeamTypes. It is this action which enables use of the TransportsReturnOnUnload=yes statement in the corresponding TeamType entry. The second purpose is to flag the transport as being 'loaded' with passengers and thus is considered in the AI's targeting logic as a potential threat (see the ContentScan= entry in the RULES.INI). This action also orders the transport to wait until it is fully loaded before executing any subsequent script actions.

44 0 Unload Truck (TRUCKB to TRUCKA)

Used purely for a graphical effect and applicable uniquely to the [TRUCKB] unit, this has the effect of converting [TRUCKB] into [TRUCKA] to give the impression that the unit has unloaded its cargo. Note: May not work correctly in Red Alert 2 since [TRUCKA] refers to the Demo Truck image which has no 'unloaded' image. Changing the image for the Demo Truck and assigning new units to [TRUCKA] and [TRUCKB] enables use of this logic.

45 0 Load Truck (TRUCKA to TRUCKB)

Used purely for a graphical effect and applicable uniquely to the [TRUCKA] unit, this has the effect of converting [TRUCKA] into [TRUCKB] to give the impression that the unit has been loaded with cargo. Note: May not work correctly in Red Alert 2 since [TRUCKA] refers to the Demo Truck image which has no 'unloaded' image. Changing the image for the Demo Truck and assigning new units to [TRUCKA] and [TRUCKB] enables use of this logic.

46 Structure#1 3 Attack Enemy Structure

Members of this TaskForce attack the enemy structure specified by the second parameter. This action depends upon the type of units in the TaskForce and if certain members have Infiltrate=yes set. Members with Engineer=yes set will capture the structure provided it does not have Capturable=no set or if it has NeedsEngineer=yes set. Members with Agent=yes set will spy on the structure if it has Spyable=yes set. Members that do not have Assaulter=no set will garrison the structure if it has CanBeOccupied=yes set. Members with C4=yes set will blow up the structure if does not have CanC4=no set.

47 Structure#1 3 Move To Enemy Structure

Members of this TaskForce move and stay adjacent to the enemy structure specified by the second parameter.

48 0 Scout

Causes members of this TaskForce to move to a pre-determined point on the map in an attempt to scout an area. The effect is that the TaskForce will move in one randomly chosen direction until it is no longer able to do so which can make it very useful or a waste of time depending on the direction chosen. If you want to continually scout the map, you should loop this script action.

49 0 Register success for AITrigger weight adjustment.

Executing this script action even once in a script by its task force is considered as a success. A script not containing this script action is a fail for its task force. A script containing this script action but the task force being unable to reach and execute this script action even once is a fail. These success and failure are used to adjust the current weight defined in AITriggers. Refer [[AITriggerTypes#1Weights|AITriggerType's weights]].

50 Flash#1 Flash (visual effect)

This causes the TaskForce to 'flash', the visual effect you get on an object when you order something to attack it. The second parameter is the number of times to flash the unit 'white'.

51 Animation#1 #1= Play Animation

This instructs the TaskForce to play one of the animations from the [Animations] in the RULES.INI.INI file (note that for all in game Action and Trigger purposes this number is from an internal table).

Firestorm addition
52 Talk Bubble#1 Display Talk Bubble

Should be used for single-unit TaskForces only, this causes a 'talk bubble' to appear above the unit. The second parameter determines which type of talk bubble to display. By default, the game has only three talk bubbles, though it's possible to add more and change what the bubbles represent:

Value Bubble
1 * (generic speech)
2 ? (question, confusion)
3 ! (alert, attention, shout)

Note: The length of time for which the talk bubble is displayed is controlled through the TalkBubbleTime= statement in RULES.INI. Refer to the RULES.INI Guide for details of this and the steps to take to enable its inclusion in Red Alert 2.

Red Alert 2 additions
53 0 Gather (at enemy base)

This causes the TaskForce to gather together (sometimes used when members of the TaskForce move at different speeds and you want the faster ones to stop while the slower ones catch up) after the previous action has been executed. If the TaskForce is in an attack mission and moving towards an enemy base, this command is usually executed when the first member of the TaskForce reaches the distance from that base defined by the AISafeDistance= statement in RULES.INI.

54 0 Regroup (at friendly base)

This causes the TaskForce to regroup, if for example any of its members have become engaged in a base defense mission or strayed away whilst in guard mode, or even the TeamType itself has been suspended for whatever reason. The members regroup directly next to each other leaving no 'gaps' at the nearest available point with sufficient space, and is used, for example, prior to activating the Iron Curtain so that all applicable members are affected (i.e. they fall within its range of effect).

55 0 Activate Iron Curtain on TaskForce

If the owner of the TaskForce to which this ScriptType is attached also has the Iron Curtain fully charged then it will be fired at this TaskForce. Note that the use of the Iron Curtain in this manner depends on the percentage chance of the AI incorporating them into its actions as defined by the AIMinorSuperReadyPercent= statement in RULES.INI.

56 Structure#1 3 ChronoSphere TaskForce

If the owner of the TaskForce to which this ScriptType is attached also has the Chronosphere fully charged then it will be used on the TaskForce before moving on to the next action. Note that the use of the Chronosphere in this manner depends on the percentage chance of the AI incorporating them into its actions as defined by the AIMinorSuperReadyPercent= statement in RULES.INI.

57 Structure#1 3 ChronoWarp TaskForce

If the owner of the TaskForce to which this ScriptType is attached has been Chronosphered then it will be used on the same TaskForce to shift them to the enemy structure number specified in the second parameter before moving on to the next action. Note that the use of the Chronosphere in this manner depends on the percentage chance of the AI incorporating them into its actions as defined by the AIMinorSuperReadyPercent= statement in RULES.INI.

58 Structure#1 3 Move To Friendly Structure

Members of this TaskForce move and stay adjacent to the friendly structure specified by the second parameter. The structure can be one owned by the owner of the TaskForce or any of its allies.

Yuri's Revenge additions
59 Waypoint#1 Attack Structure At Waypoint

Members of this TaskForce attack the structure at the waypoint specified by the second parameter. This action is very similar to action number 43 although this action does not test for ownership of the structure itself - thus the inclusion of this action allows, for example, InfantryTypes with Engineer=yes set to enter structures owned by the same side for the purposes of repair. This would be the most appropriate action to use to get the AI to repair bridges. Use of this also means that the TaskForce will attack the structure with one of its weapons meaning, for example, that units with C4=yes set will not C4 the building but shoot at it instead. This is useful if you want to get a TaskForce to destroy a nearby occupiable structure instead of entering it in a bid to prevent the enemy getting hold of it - a tactic used in the Yuri's Revenge AI.

60 0 Enter Grinder

Members of this TaskForce will enter the nearest structure with Grinding=yes set if it is owned by the owner of the TaskForce or any of its allies.

61 0 Occupy Tank Bunker

Any VehicleType members of this TaskForce which do not have Bunkerable=no set will enter the nearest vacant structure with Bunker=yes set if it is owned by the owner of the TaskForce or any of its allies.

62 0 Enter Bio Reactor

Any InfantryType members of this TaskForce will enter the nearest structure with InfantryAbsorb=yes set if it is owned by the owner of the TaskForce or any of its allies and has space available.

63 0 Occupy Battle Bunker

Any InfantryType members of this TaskForce with Occupier=yes set will enter the nearest structure (which they own) with CanOccupyFire=yes set.

64 0 Garrison Structure

Any InfantryType members of this TaskForce with Occupier=yes set will enter the nearest (neutral) structure with CanOccupyFire=yes set. This action is used specifically for this purpose due to action #159 (see above) since the logic in Yuri's Revenge has changed so that the units weapon is transferred to the structure. Use of this action also allows the computer to repair those structures by sending an InfantryType with Engineer=yes set into them and also allows the AI to differentiate between attacking such a structure and entering it, which is useful if you want the AI to use infantry to destroy an occupiable structure thus preventing its enemy from using it.

1 ↑ For convenience, the "#" symbol refers to a number/index of the object type. For example, "Waypoint#" refers to the index number of the Waypoint in the Waypoints list

2 ↑ Time to guard area in tenths of a minute (multiples of 6 seconds) at normal game speed.

3 ↑ Refers to the structure index in BuildingTypes combined with a unique target scan determinant. See the Notes section for more information

Notes

ScriptActions that refer to individual buildings use a combination of the building index in the BuildingTypes list and a special target scan determinant. When the enemy has multiple instances of the same building, this determinant allows the AI team to select its target based on threat or distance. The final value used for these ScriptActions is formed like this:
Building Index + Target Scan Value (Decimal)
The target scan values are as follows:

Hex Value Decimal Value Description
0x0 0 Lowest threat
0x10000 65536 Highest threat
0x20000 131072 Nearest
0x30000 196608 Farthest

For example, to make the AI team scan for the nearest enemy Allied War Factory, look for the 0-based index of the GAWEAP in the BuildingTypes list (7), add 131072, and use the result as the action parameter: 7 + 131072 = 131079
