Ownership of Airbases - Airbases can be captured by having a ground unit/ship spawn/drive into it's invisible capture zone (usually close to the center)

Ownership of Radar Stations - Radar Stations can be captured by having a ground unit spawn touching them/drive into them

Faction Inventory - All units a Faction has access to and can deploy by using:

• Aircraft - Preplaced Hangars, Helipads, Aircraft Reventments and Aircraft Carriers
  
• Ground Units - Vehicle Depots
  
• Ships - Not possible to spawn via any building

AI Aircraft Behaviour - On default AI aircraft RTB once most of their weapons have been used. By .json editing the "Bravery" value of prespawned AI aircraft it's possible to fine-tune how fast they choose to return to base (A bravery value of 0 will make an aircraft RTB as soon as it uses up any ammunition; A bravery value of 1 will make an aircraft RTB as soon as it runs out of all ammo).

Objectives Button


You can press F2 to view all currently active objectives.

Objective types are pretty much objective requirements that, when met complete that objective. All objective types have a faction (PALA/BDF/Neutral) and are only visible to that faction; Objectives can be set to be hidden, in which case they will become invisible to players, however AI can still pathfind to them! Objectives must be started by using the start objective outcome to work, except for the Mission Start objective!

• Destroy Units - Completes once [All/Any] units from the list are destroyed, if they don't exist yet, they are skipped. This objective can be used for AI pathfinding.
  
• Reach Waypoints - Completes when a player flies through [All/Any/All, in Order] waypoint(s). Can be used as a marker by setting the waypoint's size to 0. This objective can be used for AI pathfinding.
  
• Reach Units - Completes when a player flies through [All/Any/All, in Order] waypoint(s). The waypoint is attached to a specified Unit. This objective can be used for AI pathfinding.
  
• Wait Seconds - Completes after a set amout of time.
  
• Capture Airbase - Completes when [All/Any] airbases from the list are captured by any faction.
  
• Dialogue Box - When started, creates a Dialogue Box; Completes when dismissed by the player.
  
• Complete Other Objective - Completes when [All/Any] objectives are completed. Useful for ending the mission once all objectives are completed.
  
• Spot Unit - Completes when [All/Any] units from the list are spotted by the opposing faction.
  
• Crash Aircraft - Completes when a specified number of aircraft are lost (either by crashing, ejecting, or both) by [Both/PALA/BDF].
  
• Successful Sortie - Completes when the specified amount of score is obtained by aircraft of [Both/PALA/BDF], either in one, or multiple sorties.

Outcomes fire once the objective they are attached to is completed. They can be attached to multiple objectives, but will fire only once.

• Start Objective - Starts specified objectives upon firing.
  
• Stop or Complete Objective - Stops (Attached Outcomes don't Fire) or Completes (Attached Outcomes Fire) an objective upon firing. Good for skipping an objective after a more important one is completed or after running out of time.
  
• Show Message - Shows a message in the killfeed. The message can be made visible only to the team whose objective triggered it, or all teams; The message can be made emit a sound upon being displayed to draw attention.
  
• Spawn Unit - Spawns specified units upon firing.
  
• Remove Unit - Removes specified units from existance upon firing.
  
• End Game - Ends the game as either Victory, or Defeat for the team whose objective triggered it.
  
• Modify Environment - Changes specified values (like weather, cloud altitude, time of day)
  
• Modify Airbase - Changes airbase values (faction ownership, capture strenght, etc.)

Ground vehicles and ships share the same AI. They engage enemies as soon as their velocity vector gets in the range of their weapons. Their movement is based on priorities, listed from highest to lowest:

• Player Waypoints - Given by players during the mission. Once a unit reaches the waypoint, it stops and holds position until destroyed. (Press RMB while hovering over the map to order the currently selected friendly unit to your cursor.)
  
• Unit-Specific Waypoints - They are given to specific units and pretty tedious to set up. Use only for ships, when you want the unit to do something very specific, or as a fallback if they are behaving wrong.
  
• Hold Position Checkbox - Makes a unit ignore anything below this (and instead stands in place once finished following Unit-Specific Waypoints).
  
• Pathfindable Objectives - Ground units will move towards the closest pathfindable objective (Destroy Units and Reach Waypoints) if no other behavior is specified. If vehicle depots exist, they will spawn from the closest one to a pathfindable objective, that is unoccupied (by having 2 factories produce units at the same rate, you can make ground units use 2 depots, possibly making 2 frontlines).

Ground units will move toward the closest road node/waypoint once spawned. If on a road, a ground unit will follow it towards the road node closest to the closest waypoint (Sea Lanes are basically roads for Ships). If there's nothing for a ground unit to path to, it will remain stationary.
