Value: integer

[Basic]
HomeCell=98
AltHomeCell=42

The view opens on this waypoint in place of HomeCell when global flag 0 was set at the moment the player won the previous campaign mission. A campaign can use it to start the player looking somewhere else because of what happened earlier. The value is a waypoint number, read the same way as HomeCell.

The choice is settled as the map loads, so nothing in this mission can change it. Setting global flag 0 during this mission affects only the next one.

Place the waypoint this key names. Unlike HomeCell, an unplaced alternate gets no fallback cell, and the view opens on cell 0,0, the corner of the map. A Debug build stops at a failed assertion instead.

Keep the value between 0 and 100. A number outside that range reads outside the waypoint table, and the view opens on an unpredictable cell. A Debug build stops at a failed assertion instead.

In multiplayer and skirmish games the view opens on the player’s own forces, so this key has no effect there.
