voidcreateConquestPropPlaces a map prop in the world at runtime: crates, radios, sandbags, anything that is scenery rather than a vehicle.The prop is local and is not synchronised. Call this on every client with identical values, exactly as you would for createSpawn, or players will not see the same battlefield. Scenery has no shared state, so putting it on the network would be traffic spent for nothing.Vehicles are rejected on purpose: for those use spawnConquestVehicle.2.1.1 16
NumbercreateSpawnCreates a spawn point at runtime and registers it in the current phase, so the respawn panel and the AI both see it.These spawns are local and are not synchronised. Call this on every client with identical values (drawing them from a shared seed is the easy way) or players will not agree on what exists.2.1.1 9

boolisSameFactionCheck if two faction Ids are part of the same faction (Allies or Axis)2.1.0 387
voidisWaterWhether a position is water rather than dry land. The margin lets you decide how much shoreline counts as water: a squad that would land in ankle-deep surf usually still needs a boat, so the default leans that way.2.1.1 7
SquadmakeSquadCreate a new empty squad. You can add soldiers to this squad in order to make them react to squad orders2.1.0 272
boolnextPhaseForce mission to skip to next phase2.1.0 329

voidnuke_nofxDestroys every destructible building inside the radius and damages the units and vehicles caught in it, without any visual effect. Use nuke or explosion when the blast should be seen. Buildings outside the player's view are destroyed too, and the work is spread across several frames.2.1.0 16
voidplayClipPlay a global Audio Clip (.wav)2.1.0 337
voidplayClip3DPlay a 3D Audio Clip, coming from a specific location and with a maximum hear distance (.wav). Notice: In various occasions, such as host change, a phase script might restart, so make use of set and get to check whenever set to be played in loop forever was already initialized to avoid spawning it multiple times.2.1.0 304
voidplayClipOnRadioPlay a global Audio Clip with a radio distortion effect (.wav)2.1.0 297

floatraycastCasts a ray from an origin toward a direction. Used to test collisions and objects presence. The test is done trough a Unity Raycast.2.1.0 289
voidremoveConquestWorldObjectsRemoves everything the three functions above put in the world: props, vehicles and their crews. Call it before regenerating a layout and when the mode ends.It also cancels the creations still in flight, so a prop whose prefab was still loading when you cleared the field does not appear a moment later on ground that no longer belongs to it.2.1.1 9
voidremoveCreatedSpawnsRemoves every spawn this script created and unregisters them from the current phase. Call it before regenerating a layout, and when the mode ends.2.1.1 20
voidrequireEquivalent to default Lua require function, but handles the script paths as local misison paths, to ensure easier file referencing and compatibility with Xbox, Nintendo Switch and PlayStation systems. External file must be placed within the folder '[mission folder]/scripts/general/' or any subfolder2.1.0 399
boolresetCallbackUnassign a callback by it's Id.2.1.0 334

voidresetFactionEconomyClears both budgets and the pending spending, and switches spawn costs off. Call it before setting up a new battle.2.1.1 13
boolrunExecute an external file without stopping execution of current scrip. External file must be placed within the folder '[mission folder]/scripts/general/' or any subfolder2.1.0 297
voidrunEveryoneRun a script locally for every player in the match (or just for the user if it's a SinglePlayer match). External file must be placed within the folder '[mission folder]/scripts/general/' or any subfolder2.1.0 376
voidrunEveryoneOnceRun a script locally for every player in the match making sure it was not executed before (or just for the user if it's a SinglePlayer match). External file must be placed within the folder '[mission folder]/scripts/general/' or any subfolder2.1.0 282
boolrunOnceExecute an external file without stopping execution of current scrip, if the external file was never executed before during the mission. External file must be placed within the folder '[mission folder]/scripts/general/' or any subfolder2.1.0 386
boolsetCallbackregister a global callback on a specific event Id. Only a callback can be tied to an event Id, so when this is called again on the same Id, the new callback reference will override previous one. Callback Ids are specified at this page.2.1.0 399
voidsetFactionBudgetTells the engine how many reinforcement points a faction has left. The respawn panel uses it to grey out spawns the side cannot afford, without waiting for a network round trip.The real counter stays in your script (a synced global is the usual place): this only mirrors it. Calling this at all is what switches spawn costs on.2.1.1 7
boolsetPhaseChanges the current phase to the one of index order2.1.0 345
voidsetRainingActivates the rain on the map. To synchronize the weather changes to other clients you can use synchWeather.2.1.0 386
voidsetSnowingActivates the snow on the map. To synchronize the weather changes to other clients you can use synchWeather.2.1.0 317
voidsetSpawnCostChanges what a player birth at this spawn costs the faction budget. Useful to make well-armed positions more expensive as the battle turns.2.1.1 11
voidsetSpawnVehicleDestinationTells the vehicle of a spawn where to carry the squad before dropping it. Applies to anything the engine treats as an automatic transport: landing craft, gliders, cargo planes. The spawn is also turned to face that destination, so the vehicle appears pointing along its route instead of due north.Without a destination an automatic transport is created and simply sits there.2.1.1 13
voidsetSpawnWaypointSends the squads born at this spawn towards a point as soon as they appear.2.1.1 10
voidsetTaskTextDefendersSet task text for defenders2.1.0 203
voidsetTaskTextInvadersSet task text for invaders2.1.0 214
voidsetTimeAndWeatherSets the current time of day of the mission and some weather conditions, like clouds, snow and fog. To synchronize the weather changes to other clients you can use synchWeather. NOTE: This function it's CPU heavy2.1.0 331
voidsetTimeOfDaySets the current time of day of the mission. NOTE: This function is CPU heavy2.1.0 380
voidsetVictoryDefendersConcludes the mission declaring defenders as winners2.1.0 539
voidsetVictoryInvadersConcludes the mission declaring invaders as winners2.1.0 281
voidshowObjectiveDisplay a new objective text2.1.0 297
voidspawnConquestVehiclePuts an empty vehicle in the world and leaves it there. Made for the guns and machine guns a battle is fought around: it is not a spawn point, so nobody is born in it and any unit that walks up to it can man it normally.Unlike the props, this one is a networked object: in multiplayer only the master client does anything and everyone else receives it automatically. On a client the call returns false and nothing happens, which is correct and not an error to guard against.2.1.1 12
voidspawnConquestVehicleWithCrewThe same as spawnConquestVehicle, but the vehicle comes with an AI crew already aboard. This is how you leave a manned anti-tank gun or a bunker MG on the field.The squad may be one from the squads archive or a custom squad defined in the mission; the crew is cut down to the seats the vehicle actually has. Master client only, like spawnConquestVehicle: vehicle and soldiers are ordinary networked objects and reach everyone else on their own.2.1.1 15
voidsynchWeatherApply the weather changes to all clients. Must be called on Master Client. After calling this, set weather is automatically applied for newly connected clients. Calling it too often can result in high network traffic and mission crash.2.1.0 249
floattimeTime in seconds since the start of the execution of the game. The value is linear and doesn't take into account pausing, slowing down or speeding up game time2.1.0 291
floattimeScaledScaled time in seconds since the start of the execution of the game. If the game is paused the count of the time doesn't increase. If the game is speeding up or slowing down this variable also increases with a proportional rate2.1.0 309
booltriggerCallbackForce the triggering of a callback set trough setCallback2.1.0 362
stringtryLocalizeResolves a localization key into the language the player is using. Text starting with # is looked up in the mission localization file; anything else is returned unchanged, so it is safe to pass any string through it.2.1.0 10
global

Functions to manipulate global variables that can be accessed from any script and over the network.

ReturnFunction NameDescriptionSinceVote
anygetGet the value of a stored global variable2.1.0 333
anymyplayergetGet the value of a stored global variable by my player.2.1.0 315
voidmyplayersetSet a global variable for my network player that can be referenced from any script and by any player in the room. If another player sets a variable with the same id, it won't compromise my variable.2.1.0 279
anyplayergetGet the value of a stored global variable by a specific player.2.1.0 323
voidsetSet a global variable that can be referenced from any script and by any player in the room2.1.0 394
hud

Controls the in-game mission status bar, the one showing flags, tickets and capture progress at the top of the screen. A mission script can hide the vanilla bar, hide the phase squares, and add its own icon + value fields to it. Exposed as the global hud.Nothing here is networked: like setTaskTextInvaders and setTaskTextDefenders, every client runs the mission script and drives its own local bar.

ReturnFunction NameDescriptionSinceVote
voidclearFieldsRemoves every custom field the script added to the bar. Does not touch the vanilla part.2.1.0 17
boolisEnabledTells whether the mission status bar is currently enabled.2.1.0 14
voidremoveFieldRemoves one custom field from the bar. Does nothing if no field with that id exists.2.1.0 13
voidsetEnabledShows or hides the whole mission status bar for the rest of the battle. Scripted fields added with setField are hidden too.2.1.0 15
voidsetFieldCreates a custom field on the bar, or updates it if a field with the same id already exists. Fields are drawn in creation order, so the first setField call for a given id decides its position.2.1.0 23
voidsetFieldColorSets the colour of a field's value text. Components go from 0 to 1 and are clamped. Creates the field if it does not exist yet.2.1.0 13
voidsetFieldSideMoves a HUD field to the right-hand end of the top bar instead of the left. Handy to keep your own numbers on your side and the enemy's under their flag.2.1.1 12
voidsetFieldWidthReserves a fixed width for the field's value text, so a number that changes often does not make the rest of the bar shift around. Creates the field if it does not exist yet.2.1.0 13
voidsetPhasesShows or hides the phase advancement squares. They are visible by default in every game mode. Hide them in missions that do not advance through linear phases, so players are not told to expect a progression that will never happen.2.1.0 9
voidsetRespawnTextWrites a line of your own into the respawn menu, under the sector list, where the player decides whether to go back in. Newlines are honoured, so several values can be listed one per line. Pass an empty string to clear it.2.1.1 21
voidsetVanillaBarShows or hides only the vanilla half of the bar: faction flags, tickets, capture squares and objectives. Fields added by the script stay visible.Useful for non-linear or scripted missions where the standard capture progress means nothing, but you still want a bar of your own.2.1.0 13
Objective

Functions related to mission objective areas and markers.

ReturnFunction NameDescriptionSinceVote
boolcanControlCheck if user can change the objective data, such as objective name, completition value, radius, icon and position. Usually this correspond to the Master Client2.1.0 289
voidcompleteSet the conquer progress of the Scripted Mission Objective to 1 (max). Equivalent of Objective.setProgress(1). Just like any other Mission Objective property, it doesn't work with Conquer Area Objective, or any other Vanilla objective type, but only with Scripted Mission Objective spawned with spawnMissionObjective call. Notice: When all the objectives in a Mission Phase are completed (progress = 1) the Next Phase is automatically triggered2.1.0 400
stringgetDisplayNameReturns the objective's name as it appears in the interface, with any # localization key already resolved into the current language.2.1.0 15
stringgetNameReturns the objective's name exactly as it is stored, without resolving a # localization key. Use getDisplayName if you need the text the player actually sees.2.1.0 16
vec3getPositionGet the world position of the Mission Objective2.1.0 394
floatgetProgressGet the progress of a Mission Objective. A value equals to 1 means that the Objective have been completed. When all Objectives in a Mission Phase are completed, the match pass automatically to the Next Phase2.1.0 293
floatgetRadiusGet the area radius of the Mission Objective 2.1.0 365
integergetUniqueIdGet unique identifier for the objective. This is useful to check if an objective already exist, or to find specific objective with findObjective, especially across the network or between different phases.2.1.0 272
boolisAttractorCheck if a Mission Objective will attract default AI to fight on the area for at least a faction, or optionally, for a specific one.2.1.0 279
boolisCompletedCheck whenever a Mission Objective progress is complete (check if Objective.getProgress >= 1). Notice: When all the Mission Objectives in the current Mission Phase are marked as completed, the Next Phase will automatically be triggered2.1.0 286
boolisInsideCheck whenever a vec3() position is inside a specific Mission Objective, specifically within it's radius from it's center position2.1.0 282
boolisScriptedCheck if a Mission Objective is a scriptable one 8Scripted Mission Objective spawned with spawnMissionObjective call), where it is possible to control all the data2.1.0 313
voidremoveRemove this objective from the current Mission Phase. Just like setting properties, only the master client can call do this operation2.1.0 296
voidresetIconDefendersUnset the icon of a Scripted Mission Objective specifically for the defenders faction, making it using the same icon as the attackers. This function impacts network performance during online gameplay, so don't call it too often. When this icon gets unset, the defenders will share the same icon as the attackers, which is assigned with setIcon2.1.0 291
voidsetAttractorEnable or disable the attractor feature of the Scripted Mission Objective for both factions. When enabled, default AI will try to reach and fight inside the area. Optionally can change the effect for one faction only2.1.0 284
voidsetIconUpdate the icon of a Scripted Mission Objective from the icon Id. This function impacts network performance during online gameplay, so don't call it too often. Possible Ids are: "0": Conquer area icon. "1": Defend area icon. "2": Clear area icon. "3": Destroy AT gun icon. "4": Destroy vehicle icon. "5": Important area icon. 2.1.0 325
voidsetIconDefendersUpdate the icon of a Scripted Mission Objective from the icon Id, specifically for the defenders faction. This function impacts network performance during online gameplay, so don't call it too often. When this icon gets unset, the defenders will share the same icon as the attackers, which is assigned with setIcon2.1.0 282
voidsetNameSets the objective's name. Works on scripted objectives only, and is synchronised over the network.A name starting with # is treated as a localization key and resolved from the mission localization file, so the same objective reads correctly in every language.2.1.0 15
