Status: offline 		Is it possible to:

1) script a surrender event?
2) or remove a unit after a pre-set time or condition? (like out of ammo? or move when ammo is out? or something?)
3) more generally, what happens to ground units that run out of ammo (they seem to just sit there?)
4) is surrender a part of ground unit mechanics?

We'll be addressing in the future although will have to add a word to the games name.

ScenEdit_DeleteUnit(table)

2) But determining the trigger (like out of ammo) would not be possible under the current set of LUA commands. A pre-set time condition could be applied though.

You know what would be really cool? A wiki that catalogs a set of scripts/code samples (aside from Ballogan's github one). It would be broken down into events/triggers/special actions and you could cut and paste (to modify specific to your scenario). I would think that would be awesome.

For surface units, I think a majority amount of damage the unit received from one shot (like one single missile/torpedo costed it more than 75% health, suffice to giving those crews a huge psychological shock from just one projectile), or the center command get destroyed (CIC/Bridge received total destruction) will render the unit completely unable to control, and eventually surrender.

If it is a surface drone, the player can manually decide should it be remotely disable or scuttle it, but no surrender.

The unit icon will turn grey once happens, and when hostile side identified it is surrendered will not engage it (unless the doctrine want them to finish it).
