Need help wth Lua

[Mgellis]

All right, I've exhausted what little lua-fu I have. I need your help.

I am trying to create an event that tells a certain ship, when it is damaged, to come to a full stop. Basically, I'm handling a fishing dispute by having Blue do a small amount of damage to a ship that is running away (as opposed to sinking them, for which you lose points), which causes the fishing boat to give up and surrender and not run away anymore because the people on board are like, "Crap! They're serious! Cut the engines!"

I cannot figure out which lua command is used to give a ship orders (like "throttle should now be set to stop"). I have a attached a screenshot of the one I was using, but it is not working. I have looked at various lua documentation and I must be a dumb ass because I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you in advance.

Did you look in the Lua Legion forum under mods? There is a lot of documentation, guides, etc. Plus a lot of people asking and answering questions.

You need to use either manualThrottle or ManualSpeed.

Manual Throttle Example

Code: Select all

ScenEdit_SetUnit({side='B', name='Boaty McBoat Face', manualThrottle='FullStop'})

Manual Speed Example

Code: Select all

ScenEdit_SetUnit({side='B', name='Boaty McBoat Face', manualSpeed=0})
