in the specified zone and at the specified altitude. This can be a useful tool when

voice messages with subtitles to the mission. Once selected, a FILE field will be

file/folder browser to select the desired file (.wav or .OGG formats). The name

template, see the Templates panel in the Tool Bar of the mission editor.
STOP WAIT USER RESPONSE. This action stops listening for the player to
press the Space bar key.
This action can be useful when creating mission scenarios where the player is to
command AI groups to perform various actions, such as advance forward or hold
position, by binding the desired AI actions to the flag number of the
corresponding custom radio message.
UNIT AI OFF. Disable the artificial intelligence of the selected unit. The unit will
stop all movement, sensor operations and will not engage in combat.
UNIT AI ON. Activate the artificial intelligence of the selected unit. Only
possible after use of the UNIT AI OFF action on the unit.
All actions with the "X" prefix are designed for use in creating cockpit triggers and
intended for training missions. See description next.
