how to make no nav zone inactive

I'm trying to inactive a no nav zone.
The no nav zone is names Vagar SAM and the side is USSR. I tried this but it doesn't work.
ScenEdit_SetZone('USSR', 'Vagar SAM', isactive=false)
Thanks

Hi Orca,
I've used this to accomplish what you are looking for:
First run this in the Lua console to determine the zone you want to set. In this case it was [5] for me
local a = VP_GetSide({Side ='Coalition'})
local z = a.nonavzones
print (z)
{ [1] = { description = 'No-Fly Iraq', guid = '1a4b27c0-8046-47aa-874c-061272b8a6d2' }, [2] = { description = 'No-Fly Lebanon', guid = '6b169452-f024-4b4e-8c42-88e945db6d4e' }, [3] = { description = 'No-Fly Syria', guid = '36adbdc7-47ee-467f-961d-0b695f707a4a' }, [4] = { description = 'No-Fly Egypt', guid = 'f6dc7a7b-21b7-448e-bb74-80fe4b536c7d' }, [5] = { description = 'Bunker Zone', guid = '9619cdea-3078-479a-bbe5-b5ea81565b63' } }
==================================================================================
Once you know that then you can set the specific zone with this Lua code:
local a = VP_GetSide({Side ='Coalition'})
local z = a.nonavzones
local n5 = a : getnonavzone(z[5].guid)
n5.isactive = true
You can use the last line to turn the zone both on and off.
Hope it helps,

Wayne,

If you don't know (added\remove on the fly) or otherwise don't want to lookup the index\guid ahead of time.
-- Takes string sidename, string zonename (name or guid of the nonavzone),setting as true|false
-- returns true if the change took place, otherwise false on error detection or bad parameters.
Code: Select all
function setNoNavStatusOnSideByNameorGuid(theside,zonename,setting)
fn="setNoNavStatusOnSideByNameorGuid(): ";
if theside ==nil or zonename ==nil or setting==nil then print(fn.. "invalid params, aboring."); return false;end
if type(theside) ~='string' or type(zonename) ~='string' or type(setting)~='boolean' then print(fn.. "param of invalid type, aborting"); return false; end
local retval,s = pcall(VP_GetSide,{Side=theside});
if (retval ==true) and s~=nil then
local z = s.nonavzones
if (z ~=nil) and #z > 0 then
for i=1,#z do
if z[i].description == zonename or z[i].guid == zonename then
local retval,nz = pcall(s.getnonavzone,s,z[i].guid);
if (retval ==true) and nz~=nil then nz.isactive = setting; return true; end
end
end
print(fn.. "NoNav zone " .. tostring(zonename) .." not found.");
else
print(fn.. "NoNav zone " .. tostring(zonename) .." not found.");
end
else
print(fn.. "Side " .. tostring(theside) .. "not found.");
end
return false;
end
setNoNavStatusOnSideByNameorGuid("Coalition","No-Fly Egypt",false)
setNoNavStatusOnSideByNameorGuid("Coalition","No-Fly Syria",true)
