# How to start

> Core concepts to get started with Missions Creator: missions, stages, tasks, and actions.

Some concepts that will be useful to get started with the script.

### What is a mission?

A mission is a group of stages. After all stages are finished, the mission is concluded.

### What is a stage?

A stage is a group of tasks and actions.

### What is a task?

Tasks are objectives that players have to complete in order to proceed in the mission. When all mandatory tasks in a stage are completed, the mission starts the next stage.

A few examples of tasks:

* **Go to coordinates**: players will have to reach the coordinates to succeed at this task.
* **Deliver vehicle**: players will have to deliver a vehicle to a zone you decide.

### What is an action?

Actions are what the script does automatically during your mission to make things smooth and exciting, for example:

* Spawning entities
* Giving items
* Alerting police

There are 2 types of actions:

* **Starting actions**: things that happen as soon as a new stage starts.
* **Ending actions**: things that happen as soon as a stage ends.

## Final suggestion

If you want to see how a full mission works, import an existing one from **Nexus**, the in-game feature of Missions Creator. After importing it, try editing it to see how it's done.
