EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 5: EDF 5 Mission Commands (ASM format)

Brief summary

This is a list of every (useful) mission command I know of. It’ll be receiving constant updates as I find new things.
CHECK THE PREVIOUS MODDING GUIDE FIRST. This guide will NOT make sense unless you’ve read it (or obtained the knowledge some other way). “How to mod Earth Defense Force 5” is a mandatory prerequisite for knowing what all of this is.

This is mainly a Modder resource to make editing missions easy.
There’s a lot, but this ain’t meant to just be browsed idly- again, it’s a resource.
Whenever a command said Loadabs 50 // X, this is loading the ID of the entity it’s affecting. Replace the 50 with the ID of whatever entity you’re doing something to.
