'''Mission scripting tools''' is a subset of game [[:Category:Tools|tools]] designed specifically to edit the game [[script]]s. The following table lists all of them known at the moment:
  
A more in depth introduction to mission coding can be found [[Mission Scripting (Overview)|here]], but basically mission coding/scripting is altering the [[main.scm]] (and, in SA the [[script.img]] file) to run extra game code.

Game code is restricted to a set of commands defined by the game (called [[:Category:OpCodes|OpCodes]]), which can be used to test and alter certain attributes of ingame objects. Basically, you can do alot with mission scripting (anything done in any of the missions and in between the missions and more), but not everything is controlled by it, it is very difficult to say what is and isn't.

To give you an idea, the OpCode databases ([http://vc-db.webtools4you.net VC] and [http://sa-db.webtools4you.net SA]) have fairly cleverly named the OpCodes (although there are alot of unknown ones).
