Small update:
While testing capture script on Nicaragua Missile Crisis, I discovered that the ID isn't correct when using copy ID to clipboard.


>> print( ScenEdit_GetUnit({ name='Santa Clara Air Base ' }).guid )
XMJRWB-0HMA38CN79JA4
ScenEdit_SetUnitSide({side='China', guid='XMJRWB-0HMA38CN79JA4 ...

I was successful in inserting that info into different scenario and was able to capture the airfield.
I had fighters divert if low on fuel. Nothing big. May try a few helicopters.

It's a great start!

Got it working.

Used this command in lua console to get ID:
print( ScenEdit_GetUnit({ name='Puerto Cabezas Airport' }).guid )
MTJZF8-0HNHDQAEUNN6C

Then I substituted the ID into the string Nikel provided from Operation Ardent
ScenEdit_SetUnitSide({side='China', guid='LK465H-0HN7TERUINFMT', newside ...

Yeah, I started noticing that.
AI got me in the ballpark of what I needed.

I'll give the new code line a try.

Thanks guys,

Quick update:
I manually created the Event/Triggers/Actions.
There wasn't an option to flip unit so I pasted in the LUA section on action

-- Action: Change Puerto Cabezas airfield to Blue
ScenEdit_AddAction{
event='Capture Puerto Cabezas',
type='ChangeUnitSide',
name='FlipAirfield',
newside ...

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to create a module to capture an airbase. ChatGPT helped with some of the lua coding for a simple one unit capture as a test of capture.

Hi Mgellis,

I welcome all advice.

I played the Nicaragua Missile Crisis (2024) by AI.Sandrik and it got me to think of other situations recently.
A confrontation with Venezuela over the drug boats being destroyed.

That would require moving assets around.
Transport aircraft bases would be needed ...

Awesome!
That's what I'm looking for!
Thank you!

Some bases are no longer operational.
I will try to update it from what I can find and post them here.

Cool, I will check that out.

I found all the .inst files in the import/export folder.
I was hoping to create files for those bases.

I used ChatGPT to generate a .inst file but it was in what looked like html format.
I used import it on it but no data showed on the right side.

I had the idea to ...

Hello everyone,

Working on my first scenario.
I’m not seeing these bases in the DB:
Tennessee
Memphis ANGB
McGhee ANGB
Mississippi
Keesler AFB
Meridian NAS
Thompson Field Jackson
Florida
Pensacola NAS
Texas
Fort Worth NAS JRB
Lackland AFB aka Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland
Arkansas
