Basics about the Script Engine

We use the LUA scripting language for mission scripts. Every Script is executed when the map is loaded and the Scriptsystem written in LUA translates the meta-scripts to actual C++ objects and builds the script statemachines. Read first before you start with scripting .

Script Files

All scripts are put into a sub-folder. The folders path is "...\<mapname>\script1", when seen from the map directory. For more information click here.
