WIP

This page shows references containing information required to make Mann vs. Machine mission tables, or just mission tables, to the wiki. Be prepared to take a good amount of your time away in just making mission tables.

All & mdash; in mission tables will be intentionally separated with a spacing, as of right now there is no way to make them not appear as — without separating them. The "nowiki" tag does not work.

Basic Subwave Example

Below this shows a simple subwave taken from Mean Machines's mission tables. The source code can be found below this mission table.

Sub-wave	Class			Count			Delay(s)		Credits
Wave 1 (600 Credits)
1		Hard	—	1	8	8	0	12	200
		Easy	Spawns from the carrier tank or lower tunnel	3	12	48	15	3	400

Basic Subwave's Source Code

Source code:

Basic Subwave's Source Code Explanation

From this source code, it shows that:

• Mission tables use {{common string}}, which are used to make the translation process easier or not required for the mission tables. (More about common strings and translation can be viewed through another later section, since that is a slightly more advanced thing.)

!rowspan="2" style="background:#fef5e0"|1

• The rowspan controls how many icons it can fit in the 1 subwave. There are two icons in the mission table, so two. Too less or too much will cause issues with the mission table.

|3||12||48
|15||3
|400

• These three rows control the numbers shown at the right side of the mission table.
  • The first row is responsible for SpawnCount, MaxActive and TotalCount accordingly.
  • The second row is responsible for WaitBeforeStarting and WaitBetweenSpawns / WaitBetweenSpawnsAfterDeath accordingly.
  • The third row is responsible for TotalCurrency.

Regular Wave Example

Below this shows another subwave taken from Mean Machines's mission table. Again, the source code can be found below this mission table.

Regular Custom Wave Example

Here is an example of a regular custom wave used in mission tables. This is taken from Frozen Fortituide.

Sub-wave	Class			Count			Delay(s)		Credits
Wave 1 (600 Credits)
1A		Easy	—	2	12	24	—	3	100
	Shovel Knight	Easy		2	6	12	6	6	100
1B		Easy	—	1	10	25	—	1	100
	Giant Demoknight	Expert	Spawns at gate A's left if allowed  -3s seconds of crits on kill	1	2	2	10	12	100
1C	Crusader	Easy	—	2	6	12	—	5	100
	Super Heavyweight Champ	Expert	Spawns at gate A's left if allowed	1	1	1	15	—	100
Support		Easy	—	1	1	∞	—	2.5	—
