It also contains info gathered from the Novaworld NILE forums, examples used were originally posted by other Novaworld members. It has been slightly modified to make it a bit more simpler to understand and to add a couple of the new commands now available like "rain" and "overcast". As time goes by I will continue to add anything I find out that works and remove those that do not. If you know for sure that something is missing or doesn't work, please let me know. Thx Notes:- GLOBAL WAC file is the "GAME.WAC" (This WAC file is executed by the game first.) MISSION WAC file is "missionname.WAC" (This WAC file is executed by the game secondly, after the game.wac). WAC files are executed every second. Nile will overwrite the WAC file everytime you save your map. If you have manually edited the WAC file then it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED you always backup your wac prior to more editing in NILE. --------------------------------------- Syntax ------------ The order of operations in WAC scripting is left to right. Any lines preceded with a semicolon or text after two forward slashes is considered as a comment. Examples: ; this is a comment about this script if Past(60) then //This is the events name (usually defaults to //New Event The syntax should look something like this: - (parens, line returns and tabbing are all optional) if trigger1(params) and trigger2(params) then //Event Name or Comment event1(params) event2(params) endif Example 1.) Door triggered by area trigger. If I want to open doors in group 12 the first time I enter area 1501 then I use if location(1501) and never() then opendoors(12) endif Example 2.) Time lapsed rain and random thunder and lightning. (Originally posted by Sal UK and modified by Kip Kilagan -PR-) Explanation: After 90 seconds has passed it will begin to rain and go overcast, both reaching full strength 20 seconds later. It also sets variable 1 to 1 with "set (v1,1)". After another 90 seconds (180 seconds into the round) the rain and overcast will die away to nothing over 20 seconds and the map will brighten up again. Also the variable 1 is now set to 2. Only if variable 1 is set to 1 will the last part of the script activate... causing thunder and lighting randomly once in every 30 times. if never() and Past(90) then rain(100,20) overcast(100,20) set (v1,1) endif if never() and Past(180) then rain(0,20) overcast(0,20) set (V1,2) endif If eq(v1,1) and random(30) then farflash flash endif Example 3.) Co-op win/lose condition after killing of a certain AI or objects. Remember many things can trigger a win condition not just the death of an object or AI. If SSN 10001 is dead and SSN 10002 then Win1 = JO wins otherwise if AI 10003 dies then WIn2 = Rebels win would look like this: if ssndead(10001) and ssndead(10002) and never() then win(1) else if ssndead(10003) and never() then win(2) endif endif --------------------------------------- WAC Language Commands ====================== Nestable flow control IF THEN ELSE ENDIF Boolean logic AND OR XOR Function modifier NOT Note: At this moment in time NILE doesn't like it if you use nested events, it would apear that you need to use seperate events for most things to work. You can use the following to randomize between nested action in a conditional IF event. dornd = do the following nested action randomly doseq = do the following nested actions sequentially next = used between the actions enddo = used to close the do statement, comes just before the last endif of the event. Example: If elapse(120) and random(5) then dornd rain(30, 30) // Light Rain set(v1, 1) next rain(100, 30) // Hard Rain set(v1, 2) next rain(60, 30) // Medium Rain set(v1, 3) next rain(0, 30) // No Rain set(v1, 4) enddo endif ------------------------------------------------------------------------- VARIABLES & IMMEDIATES -------------------------------------------- Note:- A variable can always be used as an immediate "STRING" immediate string value # immediate decimal number v# v0 to v511 these are game variables you can set or have set, these are cleared at start of each mission G# G0 to vG11 these are global variables, these are not cleared during link M# Music Script Variable anim_move immediate equate from ADM file ammo_name immediate ammo name (ex. ammo2tgt ammo_rocket 1) fx_fxname immediate effect name (ex. fxrain fx_effect_lightning) effect_name immediate effect name (ex. fxrain effect_lightning) health player's health/hp value mana player's mana neartype the type of the nearest enemy (from items.def dialog) neardist the distance to the nearest organic nearmove the anim move of the nearest organic (setable) nearid the unique dcb/id of the nearest organic neartid the id of the organic's target or 0 if no target nearblind nearflying nearguard nearSSN nearWP nearGroup nearHP result current return/accumulator value (mostly for debug) SS_SoundSet immediate soundset name sSoundSet immediate soundset name (alternate syntax) ticks number of seconds into game wind used by SWING, FLICKER, and particle wind2 VARIABLE COMPARE ---------------------------------- eq(#,#) true if #==# ne(#,#) true if #!=# lt(#,#) true if #<# gt(#,#) true if #># le(#,#) true if #<=# ge(#,#) true if #>=# true(#) true if #!=0 false(#) true if #==0 VARIABLE MODIFY ---------------------------------- Note: The "v" is followed by the number you want as the variable (0 to 511). Ensure variables don't clash with each other.
