Hi,

I'm totally noob on lua scripting.

To simulate the player side requesting an AI allied side to launch pre-programmed and inactive missions I would like to change some missions status via special action event that would use LUA script. I found ChangeMissionStatus in ScenEdit_SetAction( { table } ) here https://commandlua.github.io/index2.html#EventHandling
but I don't know how to write properly the syntax and needed variables.

Dou you know some existing examples I could learn from, or show me how to write properly the code ?

If you have never coded I'd start learning some programming basics, what's a variable, what's a function etc. You can use any language, maybe python can be a good starting point to understand the basics.

There are also a good amount of resources in this forum. Use the search functionality when looking for examples.

For SetMission, the parameters you need are explained in the doc



Then in the mission options you will need to set the parameter isActive to True



So you will end something like ScenEdit_SetMission('BLUE', 'CAS Mission', {isActive=true})

Thank you.

Thank you, yesterday at first glance I didn't seen the ScenEdit_SetMission () function. I managed to do what I wanted, but in a less simple way.

It's quite simple indeed when you know where to look and understand the basics of the LUA.

local mission = ScenEdit_SetMission('side name','existing mission name or ID',{isactive='true'})
