====Abilities==== Abilities are data tree initiators that use effects, apply behaviours, create units or cause the unit with the ability to interact with other units. Although some abilities are passive the majority are active and can be linked to a button in the command card where players can order them to be used (the '''Smart Command''' flag can allow use to be linked to mouse clicks). The unit needs to have the ability under the '''Ability: Abilities - Ability''' field in order to use it even if the ability is not linked to the command card. Ability use can be forced to be initiated by the '''Issue Order''' effect type but the caster of the ability effect tree is still known as the unit who used the ability and not the caster of the '''Issue Order''' effect, it can also use active abilities not linked to the command card. All units created by abilities are independent entities and known as their own casters that are in no way linked to the creating unit (with the excetion of the '''Arm Magazine''' ability). Abilities start data trees by using effects or applying behaviours and the majority of abilities have a field for their application. Details as to what each ability type does and what fields it has can be found under [[Data/Abilities|Abilities]].
