add explosion

[orca]

I am trying to create an explosion on a runway using LUA

I'm using this script but nothing happens when it's run. The runway is located at the lat/long indicated in the script.

ScenEdit_AddExplosion({warheadid=1049, lat=-19.2540607452393, lon=146.761245727539, altitude=0})

Is there anything I need to do differently to make it work?

Peter,

I've used AddExplosion several times and did encounter a problem if the altitude was set below the ground.
Your coordinates seem to be in Australia,S19, E146. At that point the elevation is ~500ft above ground so your altitude=0 puts the detonation ~500ft underground. Try changing it to an altitude say 10ft above the altitude on the map display and it should work.

Hope this helps,

Thanks. Adjusting the altitude did the trick.
