The IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) table stores data on FS2's IFF entries. This tables default version (shown as example) is included to the code so '''iff_defs.tbl''' is not required unless entries are to be added or changed.

==General Format==
*IFF_defs table consist of the traitor iff definition and from the actual iff definitions
*Table begins with #'''IFFs'''
*First the traitor must be defined with '''$Traitor IFF:'''
**This entry is used to define which IFF is used to represent the traitors IFF
**Value: ''IFF Name''
*Different IFFs entries begin with '''[[iff_defs.tbl#$IFF Name:|$IFF Name:]]
*Table ends with #'''End'''


==$IFF Name:==


===$Colour: or $Color:===
{{Table36|
*Defines the color of the IFF as seen in by default (e.g. in briefing icons).
*Syntax: ( '''Color''' ), three '''integers''', values from 0 to 255; red, green and blue respectively
**Example: ( 0, 255, 0 )}}


===$Attacks:===
{{Table36|
*Defines the IFFs that are attacked by default
*Syntax: ( '''String''' ), name of the IFF
**Example: ( "Friendly" "Neutral" "Traitor" )}}


===+Sees ''IFF Name'' As:===
{{Table36|
*IFF can be set to be seen as in different color than what that IFFS default color is. 
*Same IFF may have multiple ''+Sees '''IFF Name''' As:'' entries
*'''''IFF Name''''' defines the name of the IFF to have a different color.
**Example: +Sees '''Hostile''' As:
*Syntax: ( '''Color''' ), three '''integers''', values from 0 to 255; red, green and blue respectively
**Example: ( 255, 0, 0 )}}


===$Flags:===
{{Table36|
*IFFs can have special flags assigned to them.
*Syntax: ( '''"String"''' ), name of the flag
**Example: ( "support allowed" )
**List of flags:
***''"support allowed"''
***''"exempt from all teams at war"''}}


===$Default Ship Flags:===
{{Table36|
*Ships belonging to a particular IFF can have a default set of flags when created in FRED.
*Syntax: ( '''"String" "String"''' ), names of the flags
**Example: ( "cargo-known" )
**List of possible ship flags:
***''"cargo-known"''
***''"ignore-count"''
***''"protect-ship"''
***''"reinforcement"''
***''"no-shields"''
***''"escort"''
***''"player-start"''

===$Default Ship Flags2:===
{{Table36|
*Ships belonging to a particular IFF can have a default set of flags when created in FRED.
