Introduction

This page has been created to help you find the appropriate commands when you are dealing with specific scripting situations (e.g. all commands that have to do with triggers, or to control unit behaviour, etc.).

To make locating commands easier, some of them may appear in more than one category.

Note that the lists contain scripting functions, as well as scripting commands.
Functions can be identified by the prefix fn_vbs_, and require a special syntax. See this page for more info.
