LUA Console Help

[obrien979]

I am trying to learn how to use LUA console and the first command I tried (ScenEdit_FillMagsForLoadout('{unit='King Khalid Air Base', loadoutid=16947, quantity=12}')) is not working. I am getting an error message that reads >> ScenEdit_FillMagsForLoadout('{unit='King Khalid Air Base', loadoutid=16947, quantity=12}')
ERROR: [string "Console"]:1: ')' expected near 'King'

I am trying to load a select weapons loadout for an aircraft that I have in the hanger and the said above Airport. I was looking for an easier way to calculate how much ammo should be stored in the magazines and found this code.

Can anyone please help me in this, Thank You

You have some quotes you don't need so it thinks for example '{unit=' is one string. remove the outer quotes.

Check the Lua forum and stickes for examples

Figured it out! Just a fat finger error

Hmm... these extra quotes are also in the documentation:

Code: Select all

ScenEdit_FillMagsForLoadout('{unit='RAF Lakenheath', loadoutid=45162, quantity=12}')

Looks like a documentation bug?
