In TS, Actions become a separate section, so Triggers can have multiple Actions with up to seven parameters. The game assumed the Trigger, Event and Action all share the same ID. So a Trigger which has ID 12451245 uses the Action list with ID 12451245.

The following Actions are available:

Code 1 Action Parameter types
#1 (P1) #2 (P2) #3 (P3) #4 (P4) #5 (P5) #6 (P6) #7 (P7)
0 No Action 0 0 0 0 0 0 A
No Action - nothing happens
1 Win 0 House# 0 0 0 0 A
House P2 wins the game
2 Lose 0 House# 0 0 0 0 A
House P2 loses the game
3 Production Begins 0 House# 0 0 0 0 A
House P2 will begin production
4 Create Team. 14 TeamType ID 0 0 0 0 A
Creates an instance of TeamType P2 owned by HOUSE2. The TaskForce will be recruited from existing units or produced from factory, provided the House is AI-controlled and production is enabled.
5 Destroy Team 1 TeamType ID 0 0 0 0 A
Destroys all instances of TeamType P2
6 All to Hunt 0 House# 0 0 0 0 A
House P2 sends all its objects to hunt
7 Reinforcement 1 TeamType ID 0 0 0 0 A
Spawns team type P2 and grants it to its owner house. In most cases, the task force will arrive from the map edge closest to the team's origin waypoint. Units with the tunnel (subterranean) locomotor spawn directly at the waypoint.

If no waypoint is defined or the waypoint is otherwise invalid, then the edge is determined by the Edge parameter of the team's house.

8 Drop Zone Flare 0 0 0 0 0 0 Waypoint
Displays a drop zone flare at waypoint P7 and reveals map around that location
9 Fire Sale 0 House# 0 0 0 0 A

13 Autocreate Begins 0 House# 0 0 0 0 A
Cc cnrdelete-all.png
Logic related to Autocreate Begins, as a whole or in part, is obsolete in Tiberian Sun.

In previous games, this action enabled the specified computer-controlled house to periodically build autocreate teams. However, this system is deprecated, most likely in favor of the new and more flexible AI triggers.
14 Change House 0 House# 0 0 0 0 A
Attached objects are granted to House P2
Code 1 Action Parameter types
#1 (P1) #2 (P2) #3 (P3) #4 (P4) #5 (P5) #6 (P6) #7 (P7)
15 Allow Win 0 0 0 0 0 0 A
Cc cnrdelete-all.png
Logic related to Allow Win, as a whole or in part, is obsolete in Tiberian Sun.

In previous games, the mission could only be won once all triggers that had this action had fired. In TS, this was made obsolete by the introduction of local variables.

Notes

1 This column specifies the code to be written in the Action's "action" slot, e.g. A1 in the Actions page.

2 HOUSE in this document refers to the house owning the Trigger, labeled "HOUSE" in the Triggers page.

3 This value is a floating-point number converted to hexadecimal and expressed as an integer. For example, to set AmbientChangeRate to 0.5, first convert the float to hex (0x3f000000) and further into int (1056964608).

4 P1 specifies how certain other parameters are to be interpreted:

P1 value P2 type P7 value/type
0 No specific type Waypoint, if applicable
1 TeamType Waypoint, if applicable
2 Trigger A
3 Tag A
4 TeamType Depends on action, is not waypoint
Referencing items
As you probably noticed, some of the Parameter descriptions in this table end with "#". The reason for that is:
Some parameters take their values to be indexes of objects, others assume they are the identifiers of those objects.
For convenience, if the parameter's description in the table ends with a "#" symbol, you should use the object's index in its appropriate list, otherwise you should use its ID.
Also note: All entries in column P7 are expected to be literal, so you have to convert all the numbers into letters like this:
0 is "A", 1 is "B", 25 is "Z", 26 is "AA", just like the columnm numbering in your favourite spreadsheet program.
