Skills define the abilities of a unit, and are generally used with commands to provide actions that the unit can perform, but sometimes mandate automated events too, such as the death skill, which fires every time the unit dies. There can be as many skills as you want (though there can only be one of some types of skills, such as the death or be_built skill). | Skills define the abilities of a unit, and are generally used with commands to provide actions that the unit can perform, but sometimes mandate automated events too, such as the death skill, which fires every time the unit dies.

Attacks are the most complex skills, but also have the largest area of customizability. All types of attacks, long ranged, melee, splash attacks, etc all use the same attack skill and are defined via its elements. | Attacks are the most complex skills, but also have the largest area of customizability.

| − | + | A MegaGlest only feature which spawns a unit of the specified name and quantity each time this attack is commenced. If this feature is not used, the tag should be excluded completely. Currently, it is not checked if the spawned units are dead before creating more. This feature is most useful for creating a custom unit such as a suicide bomb, or such which will destroy itself eventually. | |
