General

UFO:AI has built-in support for several campaigns in singleplayer mode. You can choose the campaign you want to play for every new game.

Syntax and semantic

If you want to add your own campaign you should be aware of the syntax and the semantic of each variable in UFO-Scripts/campaign.ufo.

Stages

You can define a stage by several stagesets - see #Stagesets for more information about this.

set [setname]: Stageset name (see below)

setname is the name or id for the firststage var at #Campaign definition

[edit]

Example

stage intro
{
	set first
	{
		seq			intro
		delay		"0 1 0"
		frame		"0 3 0"
		missions	"farm"
		number		1
		expire		"0 3 0"
		quota		0
	}
	set terror_only
	{
		needed		first
		delay		"0 0 1"
		frame		"0 10 0"
		expire		"0 3 0"
		missions	"africa_excavation bunker mine mart italy japan oriental"
		quota		6
		nextstage	ufos_are_coming
	}
	set stop
	{
		needed		terror_only
		delay		"0 20 0"
		endstage	intro
	}
}

Stagesets

Each stage can contain several stage sets.

needed: V_STRING
delay: V_VECTOR
frame: V_VECTOR
expire: V_VECTOR
missions: V_STRING

the missions strings - seperated with white space

quota: V_INT

number of missions that needs to be played to deactivate the stage set and, perhaps, start another set and/or stage

seq: V_STRING

the sequence id to play at stageset activation

nextstage: V_STRING

the whole stageset to activate after the current set is done

endstage: V_STRING
commands: V_STRING

commands that are executed at stageset activation

number: V_INT

works like quota, except that the missions only needs to appear on geoscape (no need to play them)

[edit]

Example

set terror_only
{
	needed		first
	delay		"0 0 1"
	frame		"0 10 0"
	expire		"0 3 0"
	missions	"africa_excavation bunker mine mart italy japan oriental"
	quota		6
	nextstage	ufos_are_coming
