Made up of many opcodes one after the other. Opcodes are of the format:
 
−
<source lang="c">TOpcode {
 
−
  Opcode[2]: Word; //Opocode number in word format
 
−
  Parameters: Array Of TParameter;
 
−
}</source>
 
−
The number of parameters is specific for each opcode. The [http://vc-db.webtools4you.net/ opcode database] has all of the opcodes in VC, with their parameter numbers, and for most, a description of what they do.
 
−
Parameters are of the format:
 
−
<source lang="c">TParameter {
 
−
  ParameterType[1]: Byte; //Says which type of parameter will follow
 
−
  ActualParameter: varies; //The actual parameter
 
−
}</source>
 
−
The [[Mission Scripting (Overview)#Data types|parameter types]] are as follows (but there are more in SA):
 
−
01: 32-bit int  (DWord)
 
−
02: global var  (Word)
 
−
03: local var    (Word)
 
−
04: 8-bit int    (Byte)
 
−
05: 16-bit int  (Word)
 
−
06: 4-byte float (Single)
 
−
[[Label]]s use the type 01 (although if they address is small enough using data types 04 and 05 will also work). Global and local vars can also be used for labels.
 
−
Global vars reference a position in the file much like a label. There is a space at the top of the scm file filled with 00's which is space reserved for global vars. This is divided into blocks of 4 bytes, each var taking up one of these blocks. In compiled form, the global vars each point to somewhere in that block (or should do as otherwise writing to it will modify the actual code).
 
−
== Example ==
 
−
This code:
 
−
<source lang="scm">0001: wait 8 ms
 
−
0002: jump $var1
 
−
0050: gosub 1@
 
−
0051: return</source>
 
−
 
−
...compiles as:
 
−
01 00 04 08 //wait opcode (First 2 bytes = opcode, next byte = 04 the parameter type for 8-bit int, and 08 is the actual value)
 
−
02 00 02 18 00 // jump opcode. The 18 00 would mean that the global var is stored at address 0x0018
 
−
50 00 03 01 00 //the gosub opcode
 
−
51 00 //the return opcode (it has no parameters)
