LUA to change mk41 VLS loadout?

[Craigkn]

I tried searching, but did not find the magic terms - I am spawning an Arleigh Burke via LUA, and I want to change the Mk41 loadouts to add more SAM and less TLAM. Looking at the CMO LUA functions, its not obvious how to do this, does this functionality exist?

My Plan B for this is a bit ugly - make another faction, hide the Burke's on the other side of the planet, then change sides / teleport to where i need them at the appropriate time. Ideally I want to handle this pragmatically.

Search in the Lua API, you'll find better responses

You need to iterate over the magazines of the Burke, then once you're on the VLS, you can iterate over the weapons and using weapon dbids, remove ones to add another ones.

Print is your friend to understand the tables on unit.mounts

Couldn't you just build several Burke inst files with various VLS loadouts and then use importinst lua function. I haven't used lua to do this, but to help with scenario building, I do this manually. I have several Burke VLS loadouts saved for that very purpose.
