add_sensor

[wqc12345]

Hi All,

I'm getting a lua casting error on an add_sensor parameter? I'm sure I'm not doing this add right, but here is my code:

Code: Select all

local u = ScenEdit_GetUnit({ side = 'RAF' , name = 'Rainbow #1' })
 print(u)
 local a = ScenEdit_GetLoadout({ side = 'RAF' , name = 'Rainbow #1' })
 ScenEdit_UpdateUnit({guid=u.guid,mode='add_sensor',dbid=1815, arc_detect=360})
 ScenEdit_SetEMCON("unit", "Rainbow #1",'Radar=Passive;OECM=Active')

I'm getting the following back:

Code: Select all

 guid = 'BLESCZ-0HM0NI69IEBQJ', 
  class = 'Valiant B.(ECM).1', 
  proficiency = 'Ace', 
  latitude = '-17.923802463545', 
  longitude = '31.0944265038748', 
  altitude = '1873.731', 
  heading = '21.29999', 
  speed = '251.3471', 
  throttle = 'Full', 
  autodetectable = 'False', 
  base = 'Salisbury Air Force Base (RAF)', 
  mission = 'RAF Nairobi Strike Ammo Pads', 
  mounts = '2', 
  magazines = '2', 
  unitstate = 'RTB_MissionOver', 
  fuelstate = 'None', 
  weaponstate = 'None', 
 }
 ERROR: Unable to cast object of type 'System.Int64' to type 'NLua.LuaTable'.

Ultimately, what I'm trying to do is add another OECM Advanced to the available sensors on the Valiant ECM variant. Now, this might not be possible and allowed, but it's what I was trying to do. I also tried adding it as a weapon mount, and I couldn't get that to work either..

Any help here would be appreciated.

It's possible and allowed.

Code: Select all

 local arcT={'PB1','PB2','SB1','SB2','SMF1','SMF2','SMA1','SMA2','SS1','SS2','PS1','PS2','PMA1','PMA2','PMF1','PMF2'};
 local arcD={'PB1','PB2','SB1','SB2','SMF1','SMF2','SMA1','SMA2','SS1','SS2','PS1','PS2','PMA1','PMA2','PMF1','PMF2'};
 local arc360 = {'360'}
 ScenEdit_UpdateUnit({guid=u.guid, mode='add_sensor', dbid=2648, arc_detect=arcD, arc_track=arcT}) --specific entries
 ScenEdit_UpdateUnit({guid=u.guid, mode='add_sensor', dbid=2648, arc_detect=arc360, arc_track=arc360}) --360 version

Though the {'360'} should work too, just submit it in table form. may want to include arc_track as well.
A mount is different and will require arc_mount= as well, though like you said it's not what you're trying to do.

Also sensor 1815 is not an OECM Advanced sensor, I think it's a sonar.
