how to create the airbase by LUA

[hanzawa1991]

I want to use LUA to add a military base (or copy a complete military base), then add planes to the base, and automatically set the planes to available status. I checked the LUA manual and there is a base parameter. I set it correctly, but although I can also add planes, it always reminds me to set the altitude. The altitude, latitude and longitude parameters should be based on the base. Why do you still need to remind me?

If you get an error that you must enter an altitude, you are not adding aircraft correctly, or there is no capacity for more aircraft.

Well, how do you correctly create an air force base with planes using LUA? Can you provide an example?

		return nil
