Runs every tick (simulation frame of the engine), at 30 ticks per second.

(script continuous kill_players_in_zone
  (if (volume_test_object kill_volume (list_get (players) 0))
    (unit_kill (unit (list_get (players) 0)))
  )

(script dormant save_valley_canyon
  (sleep_until (= 0 (ai_living_count valley_canyon)) 10)
  (game_save_no_timeout)
)

Begins executing when the level initially loads and would be used for setting up AI alliances, running intro cinematics, and orchestrating the overall mission structure. You can have multiple startup scripts in the scenario.

(script startup mission_a30
  (hud_show_motion_sensor false)
  (fade_out 0 0 0 0)
  (print "mission script is running")
  (ai_allegiance player human)
  ;...
)

Performed when called from another script.

(script static "unit" player0
  (unit (list_get (players) 0))
)

A stub script by itself does nothing. It allows you to pre-declare a static script without providing a script body. This allows other scripts to invoke a static script without the full function body being declared yet.

The script you override a stub with must have the same "signature" (i.e. name, parameters, and return type). A stub cannot be declared more than once. The full implementation of a stub may be placed in another script file.

If you're familiar with C function prototypes, this is very similar.
