(background: the "trigger' for this question was an answer in the Tech forum)

How would one trigger a strike mission upon detection of a certain type of unit AND at the same time limit the possible targets of the activated mission to certain type of units?

In other words (as an example):
Active naval strike mission X if and only if a carrier or DDG is detected and in this case put on the target list only carriers, DDGs and Frigates

You can create a broad unit detected trigger, then as lua condition script use unitC() function ( https://commandlua.github.io/assets/Fun ... UnitC.html) and check if its a eg. carrier, then as Action enable your strike mission and AssignUnitAsTarget(https://commandlua.github.io/assets/Fun ... arget.html).

If this was what you were asking?

Does sequencing of nested action under a trigger matter? Do they get executed top to bottom? To my mind i should probably first assign targets and the activate. Or is it irrelevant?

If its question of action sequencing, best to put them all to same lua action script and handle sequencing there?
