[ANSWERED] Technique to test scripts using Unit Damaged/Unit Destroyed trigger.

Hello,
I am trying to work through a lua script that is triggered by the Unit Damaged/Unit Destroyed triggers. Has anyone found a good way to test this?
I am trying to set up the script that if two bridges are blown up, it shuts down the mission; I have the code, I simply need to test it. I do not know how I can do that from the LUA screen code tester.
Anyone in the community have any ideas?

While game is running, open the Lua console, and run something like:
ScenEdit_SetUnitDamage({side='SideA', unitname='Ship1', dp=xxx}) where xxx is the damage points
The event should trigger.

EXCELLENT... and DUH (the DUH is aimed at me).
Thank you!

Hi,tjhkkr
You can use the 'Message' action to test your code like this:
Code: Select all
ScenEdit_SetEvent('destroy_event',{mode = 'add'})
ScenEdit_SetAction({mode = 'add', type = 'Message', name = 'destroy_action', SideId = 'LuaSideA', Text = 'Destroied'})
ScenEdit_SetTrigger({mode = 'add', name = 'destroy_trigger', type = 'UnitDestroyed', targetfilter = {TargetSide = 'LuaSideB',TargetType = '2'}})
ScenEdit_SetEventAction('destroy_event', {mode = 'add', name = 'destroy_action'})
ScenEdit_SetEventTrigger('destroy_event', {mode = 'add', name = 'destroy_trigger'})
hope it can help you.
