Most places that require you to enter a value (when making Effects, most commonly) do so through the use of Expressions. These can be made up of regular numbers, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, in addition to the functions and variables listed below.

Functions

function example returns explanation/usage
abs(x) abs(-5) 5 The absolute value of the input value
atan2(x, y) atan2(1, 1)*180/3.14 45.02 atan2 of the given x, y position. Good for angles!
boolean(x) boolean(5) 1 Returns 0 if the given expression evaluates to 0, 1 otherwise
ceil(x) ceil(2.7) 3 Rounds up
floor(x) floor(2.7) 2 Rounds down
round(x) round(2.7) 3 Rounds to nearest
max(x, y, z...) max(2, 3, 8, 6) 8 Returns the max of any number of parameters
min(x, y, z...) min(2, 3, 8, 6) 2 Returns the min of any number of parameters
pow(x, e) pow(2, 3) 8 Returns the first parameter to the power of the second parameter
sqrt(x) sqrt(16) 4 Returns the square root
sin(x) sin(3.14/2) 1
cos(x) cos(3.14/2) 0
sign(x) sign(5) 1 Returns the signum; zero if the argument is zero, 1 if the argument is greater than zero, -1 if the argument is less than zero.

Variables

variable example returns explanation/usage
EVENT_ROLL A number between 1 and 100 Used in choice target tests, in the Chose Outcome, generally seen together with roll_one, roll_two, roll_three, etc. expressions
IS_FLANKING 1 if flanking, 0 otherwise If this event contains attack info (e.g. a DAMAGE_ROLL, DAMAGE_ROLL_INCOMING, DAMAGE_ROLL_AFTER_ARMOR), returns whether or not the attack is flanking.
THIS_ASPECT The integer value of this event's parent aspect If this event has a parent aspect, returns the value of that aspect.
TOWN_POPULATION_LIMIT The population limit for all towns (200)
RECRUIT_COST_ADJUSTMENT -1 if company size < 3, 0 if >= 3, 1 if >= 6, 2 if >= 8, 3 if >= 10 Adjustment for recruit cost based on company size. This is used to make recruits cheaper if you have fewer of them, and more expensive if you have more.
RECRUIT_ENCOUNTER_SCORE_OFFSET If chapter 1, returns 0.5 if company size=3, 2 if size=2, 4 if size=1. If chapter > 1, returns 0.5 if company size=4, 2 if size=3, 4 if size=2, 9 if size=1. Returns 0 otherwise. An offset for recruit encounters that makes it so the encounter is more likely to happen if you have a smaller company. This is used in events that give you recruits.
isDefender isDefender.hero 1 if the given role is the current defender of an AttackRoll Outcome, 0 otherwise Generally used if you want different damage for one enemy in an attack than for others. (See how fireleash works, dealing half damage to defenders that aren't on the target tile)
RESOURCE RESOURCE.legacyPoints The amount of the given resource Can be used to find the amount of any resource: legacyPoints, heartwoods, hides, ingots, fabrics, and spellthreads
COUNT COUNT.target How many matches were made for the given target Often used in the effect.info.aiPriority field to make give AOE attacks higher priority if they hit more targets. Also used in the Damage Outcome for multi-target abilities, to divide stunt chance among the targets.
WEAPON_TIER WEAPON_TIER.weapon The tier of the given weapon, or -1 if there isn't one or it isn't a weapon ex: stuntEffect_fire
distanceTo target.distanceTo.targetTile In a mission, the distance between two roles (can be entities or tiles) Used to calculate the extra damage dealt from knockback attacks, and certain other edge cases like making sure the Thrixl Thrusk is still in range to attack again after its first attack (e.g. if the defender has Riposte and a knockback weapon)
ticksPerTurn 2 Used along with timeCostPerStep for movement abilities
SIZE source.SIZE Number of tiles a mission entity takes up, or its max footprint dimension Used in Splinterblast to give larger objects greater AOE
AGE_IN_YEARS The age of the current target.
MIN_ATTACK_RANGE self.MIN_ATTACK_RANGE The minimum range at which the given target can attack. Used for movement abilities to determine whether to show the dotted-line attack suggestion.
MAX_ATTACK_RANGE self.MAX_ATTACK_RANGE The maximum range at which the given target can attack. Used for movement abilities to determine whether to show the dotted-line attack suggestion.
MAX_MELEE_ATTACK_RANGE self.MAX_MELEE_ATTACK_RANGE The maximum range at which the given target can melee attack. Used for guarding abilities to show range feedback.
maxValue self.maxValue.gorgonCorruptedTileRel The maximum value of any aspects the given target has starting with the given string
HAS_LOVER 1 if the current target has a lover, 0 otherwise Used in events when we want to match a target that has a lover
HAS_RIVAL 1 if the current target has a rival, 0 otherwise Used in events when we want to match a target that has a rival
LEVEL self.LEVEL The level of the given hero target, or 0 if none Generally used in abilities when we want the ability's power to scale with level
raw raw.POTENCY The raw stat (a float, not converted to an integer)
CAN_ROMANCE CAN_ROMANCE.hook 1 if the current target can romance the given target, 0 otherwise Must be mutually attracted, not already have lovers, and non-family
CAN_RIVAL CAN_RIVAL.hook 1 if the current target can be rivals with the given target, 0 otherwise Must not already have rivals
SHIP_WITH SHIP_WITH.hook The tier of the relationship between the current target and the given target This can be any kind of relationship; lovers, rivals, or friends
FRIEND_WITH FRIEND_WITH.hook The tier of the friendship between the current target and the given target, 0 if not friends
LOVER_WITH LOVER_WITH.hook The tier of the romance between the current target and the given target, 0 if not lovers
RIVAL_WITH RIVAL_WITH.hook The tier of the rivalry between the current target and the given target, 0 if not rivals
