Thanks! I'll give it a try... [;)]

Oh yes... Oops! Here you go, thanks! And I looked through your scenario and noticed you used 'Special Action' extensively... I don't know how to link that to the Lua Trigger actually... [:(]

<t> Thanks for your patience and kind offer to help, mate! This old dog really has trouble learning new LUA tricks... [&:] Anyway I have attached a simple creation with objectives to capture enemy airport, tank, and vessel... can I trouble you to take a look and help me correct and improve the event ...

Thanks guys! Esp. apache85... I will take a look at your scenario and see I can figure out the LUAs through 'reverse engineering'! [;)]

Thanks for helping, everyone! Sorry I double-posted bcos I think less ppl may visit the Lua Legion sub-forum, and I was getting impatient waiting for responses. I will continue this topic there then. Moderators, pls delete this thread if necessary. Thanks! [&o]

Yep, I saw that, but I can't seem to get it right...

ScenEdit_SetUnitSide(side='Iran', Name='Commercial Tanker - Very Large Crude Carrier [300,000t DWT]', newside='UK')

What parameters am I missing?

Ooooo thanks! Didn't know abt this... [;)]

Thanks for your help! Fixing the reference point on the vessel is exactly what I need! Now to figure out how to write the Action script for changing sides...

Thanks for replying! Would such a script be correct? For e.g.

ScenEdit_SetUnitSide(side='Iran', Name='Very Large Crude Carrier', newside='UK')

What parameters am I missing?

Hi everyone, how would you use lua to simulate VBSS on to a unfriendly vessel and taking control of it? E.g. helo remains in an area for 1min, and the vessel would then change to player side? Thanks!

Yes of course, as you say, with the latest patch toaw can not load .map files, so I put the maps in .mml format in the attached zip file.

Wow! Thanks for the very prompt response, my good man! <SM sm="00000436 ...

I can't open these .mal in the Editor, only .mml maps. Does anyone know how to open these awesome maps? Otherwise, Josant, do you think you can save and upload the files in .mml format? Thanks! [&o]

Thanks for your tip! [;)]

Hi everyone,

Technically it's possible using the database editor right? I would like to create new factions such as the Afghan Mujahideen or Chechen army, a step-by-step guide on how to would be most appreciated. Thanks! [&o]

It worked like a charm! Really freed up a lot of precious space on my hard disk so now I can decide on what new game to install... [:D]

Really?!? I'm gonna try it now, Thanks a million, Scorpion86! [&o]

For me, the benefits are auto-updates and able to play Steam Workshop scenarios. Downside is that I do not have Steam Keys for the other DLCs, so I have to still install the Matrix version to play them.
