I modified this function from Knighhawk to pass a side, unit, and radius of a circle or RP

local function BuildCircleOfRPs(theside,pguid, range)
local unit=ScenEdit_GetUnit({guid=pguid})
local tableofcirclepoints = World_GetCircleFromPoint({latitude=unit.latitude,longitude=unit.longitude,numpoints=12,radius=range})
local counter = 1;
for k,v in ipairs(tableofcirclepoints) do
ScenEdit_AddReferencePoint({side=theside,latitude=v.latitude,longitude=v.longitude, relativeto=unit.guid, name=unit.name .. "-" .. counter})
counter = counter +1;
end
end

The call is

local patrol=ScenEdit_UnitX()
local function BuildCircleOfRPs('Iran',patrol.guid,1)

So basically when a patrol boat undocks it enters a zone that should trigger the event and then have a circle of RPs generated around the PB

This is not working

You're not calling your function, you're redefining it in the last line.

You also don't need counter here?
Also if you already have the unit wrapper from UnitX call why pass the guid and get the unit again, you can just pass the wrapper itself.

try

 local patrol=ScenEdit_UnitX()
 BuildCircleOfRPs('Iran',patrol,1)
 
 

That fixed it, thanks as always
