Quick Turnaround Selector

[wqc12345]

I'm not sure how the "Enable Quick Turnaround" check box gets selected for a given unit via Lua?

I tried the following:

Code: Select all

 m = ScenEdit_GetUnit({name='Kimberley #1',side='SA'})
 ScenEdit_SetDoctrine({side=m.side, unitname=m.name}, {quick_turnaround_for_aircraft=0, ignore_plotted_course=true})

This does not result in the check box getting selected? Is this even possible in Lua?

update> setting "2" does DISABLE the doctrine for Quick Turnaround, but 0/1 does not select the check-box.

You want the box checked meaning you want the editable setting, you can access with the following:

quick_turnaround_for_aircraft_player_editable= true | false

ok, tried that with just adding it as an attribute to the above code and no joy.

Is this another method? SetUnit? or something else other than doctrine?

[KnightHawk75]

Worked perfectly for me, I tried it before posting.

Code: Select all

local myunit = SE_GetUnit({guid='4FH7PU-0HM0LV5RLV4JO'})
 ScenEdit_SetDoctrine({guid=myunit.guid}, {quick_turnaround_for_aircraft=1})
 ScenEdit_SetDoctrine({guid=myunit.guid}, {quick_turnaround_for_aircraft_player_editable=false})
 print(ScenEdit_SetDoctrine({guid=myunit.guid,actual=true},{} ))
 
 

Set it to Fighters\ASW and Unchecked the previously checked box just as expected.

Thanks Knight.. again, I'm not saying you are not seeing a check-box clicked, but I'm not.. I run the exact code above on an aircraft with NO mission assigned (please note, NO mission, just sitting ready).. and no check-box is clicked. I pass in the guid and I can get it to disable, but I can never get the check-box to turn on.



I've attached my scenario for reference.

[KnightHawk75]

I'm talking about the checkbox on the WRA screen which is what related to you doing SetDoctrine, your actually asking about a different checkbox on the airops screen. One enables if you can, one enables if you actually are using it. The latter I don't think can be done by lua at the moment, unless there is an undocumented way with setloadout params?

[wqc12345]

Thanks Knight. Figured as much.

Do you know how to turn on that check box in my screen shot?

No, that option isn't available in Lua. It actually is on the aircraft so would need to add to the SE_SetUnit() and/or unit wrapper.
