| |
| − | |'''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.

| |
| − | |'''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.

| |
| − | |'''Guard Area'''
| |
| − | This instructs the TeamType to put the TaskForce into Guard Mode for the amount of time specified. Units will move to attack enemy units that fall within their range. After guarding for the amount of time specified, the team will move on to execute its next script action.

| |
| − | |Action#{{fnl|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.<br/>'''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.

| − | |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:

| − | |'''Deploy'''
| |
| − | If the TaskForce contains a unit or units that are able to deploy (for example a unit which {{f|DeploysInto||link}} a [BuildingType] or has any of {{f|Deployer|yes|link}}, {{f|DeployFire|yes|link}}, {{f|DeployToFire|yes|link}} 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).

| |
| − | |'''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.

| |
| − | |Mission#{{fnl|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:

| − | |Global Variable#{{fnl|1}}
| |
| − | |'''Set Global Variable'''
| |
| − | The [[VariableNames|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.

| |
| − | |'''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.
| |

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

| |
| − | |'''Spy On Structure At Waypoint'''
| |
| − | Should be used only for units with {{f|Infiltrate|yes|link}} and {{f|Agent|yes|link}} 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 {{f|Spyable|yes|link}} 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#{{fnl|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 {{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.

| |
| − | |Script#{{fnl|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#{{fnl|1}}
| |
| − | |'''Change Team'''

| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | |19
| |
| − | |0
| |
| − | |'''Panic'''
| |
| − | If the TaskForce contains a unit or units that have {{f|Fraidycat|yes|link}} set then they will run around aimlessly, using the {{f|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.

| |
| − | |House#{{fnl|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|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).
| |
| − | |-
| |

| |
| − | |24
| |
| − | |Speech#{{fnl|1}}
| |
| − | |'''Play Speech'''
| |
| − | This instructs the TaskForce to play one of the Sofia or EVA voices (depending upon the {{f|ParentCountry||link}} 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|EVA.INI]] (note that you should consider this list as being numbered from 0 instead of 1 to get the correct numbering convention).

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.

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.

This action is used specifically for this purpose due to action #{{fnl|1}}59 (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 {{f|Engineer|yes|link}} 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.

| − | '''Structure number'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | Usage of structure number as parameter in script actions, allows the AI to target a specific instance of a building based on threat or distance when there are multiple instances of the specified building. When there is only one instance of a specified building then there is only one building to select, so the outcome based on options of threat or distance is the same. The computation of this structure number is as follows: <br/>
| |
| − | | |

| |
| − | !Computed Value

| |
| − | |}
| |
| − | | |
| − | Reference to a structure number exceeding the buildings in the [[BuildingTypes]] list or using number 262144 or higher, results in a do nothing script action and the team will move on to execute its next script action.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Threat posed by any number of instances of the same building will all be the same. So, to determine which instance of a building has higher or lower threat, its cumulative threat value is used. For example, if there are some units near a building, its threat rating becomes higher with the additional threat values of the nearby units.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In cases where multiple instances of the specified building have equal threat or are equidistant, AI will choose the one which was constructed first by the target side. If the first was destroyed/sold etc., then the next constructed building becomes target. Friendlies don't pose threat, so it becomes a case of equal threat.
| |
| − | | |
| − | An example structure number computation, to make the AI team members select their nearest enemy Allied War Factory, look for the 0-based index of the GAWEAP in the [[BuildingTypes]] list (7), add 131072, and use the resulting structure number as the script action parameter: 7 + 131072 = '''131079'''.
