ALL legal details described in accompanying SCNGUIDE.HTM file apply to this
document also, you MUST abide by them.
This document MUST only be distributed as a file in a ZIP along with the other
scenario creation files created by Gavin Pugh. I had decided to include this
information in a seperate file as these sections were too long in the older
versions of my guide. I will also eventually create a sepearate guide for packed
sections of scenario files, and maybe even a step-by-step guide to making a fully
functional mission.
[TeamTypes]
The teamtypes section allows you to create teams of units which can be used when triggers are activated
[TeamTypes]
sneak=2,1,15,0,1,-1,-1,2,E1:2,E2:1,7,16:11,16:2,16:14,16:16,1:8,1:4,1:1

Team name, can be anything within reason (keep it 3-5 chars and letters only)
This is referred to later in the Trigs section |

Number of different types of units in team (In this case 2 riflemen and 1 grenadier = 2 different types)
|
| 10 |
Units in team, (See infantry, units, and ships for Codenames)
(In this case E1:2 means 2 E1's or 2 riflemen, and E2:1 means 1 E2 or 1 grenadier)
(Another example 4TNK:9 means 9 Mammoth tanks) |
| 11 |
Number of actions to perform when team is invoked |
| 12 |
Actions to perform, first I'll explain the example above
16:11 - Patrol to waypoint .. 11
16:2 - Patrol to waypoint .. 2
16:14 - Patrol to waypoint .. 14
16:16 - Patrol to waypoint .. 16

[Trigs]
Ha, ha, ha. This one is a toughie:
[Trigs]
air6=0,0,0,1,0,-1,0,0,-1,0,29,-1,-1,4,7,10,-1,-1
lch5=0,2,0,0,27,-1,2,0,-1,0,36,-1,-1,-1,0,-1,-1,-1

| 1 | Trigger name, as referred to in [UNITS], [STRUCTURES], and others (keep 3-6 chars) |
| 2 | See Next Bit |
Each trigger can be divided up as follows:
[Trigs]
air6=0,0,0,1|0, -1,0|0, -1,0|29,-1,-1,4 |7, 10,-1,-1
lch5=0,2,0,0|27,-1,2|0, -1,0|36,-1,-1,-1 |0, -1,-1,-1

| 2 | Side Related To ** THANKS TO AL **
1=Greece

7=Turkey
9=USSR |
| 3 | ?? May determine AND/OR between events |
| 4 | ?? Or other trigger logic?? |
| 5 | Event |
| 6 | Event |
| 7 | Action |
| 8 | Action |
Typical event 27,-1,2 No Event 0,-1,0
^ ^ ^
1st 2nd 3rd
Typical action 22,-1,26,-255 No Action 0,-1,-1,-1
^ ^ ^ ^
1st 2nd 3rd 4th
From now on I'll refer to action and event settings like this:
ACTION EXAMPLE 1
----------------
1 Winner is (4=Side Number)
^ ^
1st No.=1 4th No.=Side Number All Other=-1 So...1,-1,-1,Side
ACTION EXAMPLE 2
----------------
24 Timer Stop (X)
^ ^
1st No.=24 ALL Others -1 So...24,-1,-1,-1
EVENT EXAMPLE
-------------
0 -No Event- (3=0)
^ ^
1st No.=0 3rd No.=0 So...0,-1,0
Note that there are two of each in a trigger, just slot the 3 or 4
sequence of numbers into the correct place.
Events:
-------
0 -No Event- (3=0)
1 Entered by (3=Side No.)
2 Spied by (??)
3 Thieved by (??)
4 Discovered by player (??)
5 House Discovered (??)
6 Attacked by anybody (3=0)
7 Destroyed by anybody (3=0)

When Trig No. and Team No.'s are referred to by these
actions, 0 represents the 1st one in the list, 1 the
2nd and so on...
So when referring to team #34, you're referring to
the 33rd team you come to in the Teamtypes list.
Side No's under actions are different to events:
-255 Greece
-254 USSR
(+more) (Mail me if you know)

Try using [Tutorial] to have custom texts
Add a section to your INI as follows:
..
..
[Tutorial]
60=Test Message1 < This would replace one, does it work?
66=Test Message2 < This would create a new one, ??
If this doesn't work, try putting a TUTORIAL.INI file in the
redalert directory. Do the same, putting [TUTORIAL] at the top,
this should definately work.
