I'm wondering if there is a slicker way of doing a mission switch for units.

I've been using the following type code which works quite well and is simple enough:

---------------
for i=1,2 do
if ScenEdit_GetUnit({Side='NATO Support', Name="No.101 Sqn RAF #"..i,}) ~= nil then
ScenEdit_AssignUnitToMission("No.101 Sqn RAF #"..i, "Tanker Kef")
end
end
--------------

I am setting up a series of mission where 3 different groups of bombers first marshal and then on a trigger switch to a strike mission. So it is easy enough to do 3 different commands as above but is there a way of saying:

All units assigned to Mission X change to mission Y?

Thanks

Sure you can use the unitlist in the mission wrapper to pull the list of units to move.

Code: Select all

local missionX = ScenEdit_GetMission("NATO Support","Mission X")
 if (missionX ~=nil) and missionX.unitlist ~=nil then
   for key,value in pairs(missionX.unitlist) do  --each value is just a guid in this case. 
     ScenEdit_AssignUnitToMission(value, "Tanker Kef")
   end
 end

Thanks, I'll give that a try tonight.

Worked the charm! Thank you very much once again.
