Chapter Two: Fundamental Unit Statistics

Reference: Arsenal III: Units Editor

Arsenal III's Unit Editor edits the units.dat file (which is normally found in arr\units.dat in the mpqs, patch_rt.mpq for the latest). Because this DAT file contains so many variables for each object (a unit), they are seperated into sections.

• Basic - basic unit properties like unit hit points, weapons, food requirements, etc.
• Advanced - advanced "flags" (like switches) which are either on or off for each unit.
• Miscellaneous - Random properties such as size, movement properties, and unknown variables.
• Staredit - flags which control how the unit appears in Staredit, among other things
• Graphics - variables dealing with units' sprites, protraits, etc.
• AI Actions - these variables control which behavorial patterns ("tactical AI") the unit has.
