Hay guys I'm fiddling with unit damage:

ScenEdit_SetUnitDamage({side='NATO', guid='aa9559a7-0c1e-4afd-8da4-067839800a5c', dp=1000})

The unit in question is a Runway and this puts it at 83% damage which is fine.

The problem is fixing the runway, I've tried several methods but none seem to work:

ScenEdit_SetUnitDamage({side='NATO', guid='aa9559a7-0c1e-4afd-8da4-067839800a5c', 'none'})
ScenEdit_SetUnitDamage({side='NATO', guid='aa9559a7-0c1e-4afd-8da4-067839800a5c', 'dp=1'})
ScenEdit_SetUnitDamage({side='NATO', guid='aa9559a7-0c1e-4afd-8da4-067839800a5c', {'runway', 'none'})

Etc

I somehow want to set the 'Overall Damage' to '0' - Just not quite sure how to do it.

Any advice?

ScenEdit_SetUnitDamage({side='NATO', guid='aa9559a7-0c1e-4afd-8da4-067839800a5c', dp=0})

Yeah I tried that with no luck. Just did it again, same result.

It seems that the initial command that inflicts damage affects the overall unit but applies the damage onto the 'runway' component. The command to repair or bring it back to '0' DP doesn't get applied to the component. That is just a guess

fb.asp?m=4820766 (post #4 I have a sample there does it work for you as sample for this?, it shows running though all components.)

Thanks

I'll be able to take a good look this weekend. Appreciate the help

Not sure if it's still wordt something but seems to work for me on a ship with: dp=-50

Little different print answer, has extra dp_percent_now='xx,x'

{ fires = 'NoFire', dp_percent = '7,5', flood = 'NoFlooding', startdp = '530', dp = 490 }
{ fires = 'NoFire', dp_percent = '18,9', dp = 520, flood = 'NoFlooding', startdp = '530', dp_percent_now = '1,9' } . Before and after executing I guess

Wasn't able to get this working but have a fix. Will delete the runway and re-spawn it when needed.

I would like to figure this out for another scenario though, so the AI can get runways repaired faster.

Good afternoon,

An extra question on damage. Does anyone know what is the 'type' name to damage engineering/propulsion?

Could you state the dp in % instead of a nr. Probable not but just to make sure.

look in unit's components table for comp_type, usually it's 'Engine'.

Thank you

Thank you for the sample code Knighthawk! For some reason, I had always thought ScenEdit_SetUnitDamage() only applied to components of units and not the units themselves. And specifying a negative dp for repairs never crossed my mind. Tried it on a simple scenario and it works great!

That really opens up some interesting possibilities.
