SCRIPTS
The Scripts facility is the mechanism for creating mission briefings, introductory sequences, ramping of difficulty, behaviors of ambient objects, and the tactics of CPU-controlled opponents. Using a simple, descriptive format, you can build very powerful scripts to govern game events, unit actions, and other environmental variables.

MISSION INTROS
You can create mission briefings and scripted introductory sequences using scripts.
- Start Mission events. Unless they are subroutines, scripts created with the default TRUE as the condition are executed as soon as the map is loaded.
- Disabled Input. In the Interface category, you can disable user input until the scripted intro sequence is completed.
- Camera effects. You can script a variety of camera effects including letter box and black-and-white modes. See the Camera category of actions.
- Variables. Under the Scripting category, you can define and use variable counters, as well as set and manage timers. Variables and timers can be referenced by any script in the map.
