[[Scripting|Scripting]] allows you a huge amount of control over what exactly happens on the map you are creating. You can [[Restrict|restrict]] what [[Buildings|buildings]] and [[Units|units]] the players can use, set up [[Triggers|Triggers]] to lock or unlock them, spawn units or buildings for the players or their enemies. You can send units to attack specific targets and send [[Dialog|dialog]] popups to the player. Everything you need to make your own custom [[Scenarios|Scenarios]].

There are three main elements in Ashes scripting: [[Missions_(scripting)|missions]], [[Player_(scripting)|players]] and [[Triggers|triggers]]. Missions are the definition or the scenario. Players defines the players that are going to be used in the scenario. Triggers are where all the magic happens. Triggers have a lot of elements and options.

Note that all triggers and arguments are case-sensitive.
