Hi,

An LUA creation makes it possible to transform a generic unit disembarked into a specific unit, or to teleport a specific unit, to the place where the generic unit appeared.
Here is an example to transform different type of unit units disembarked (Mech, Inf, Armored, Arty),

s="GTIA"
local cargo = ScenEdit_UnitX()
local elev = World_GetElevation({latitude=cargo.latitude,longitude=cargo.longitude})

ScenEdit_DeleteUnit({s,name=cargo.name})

if cargo.dbid ==2984 then --a unit Mech Inf becomes a Mech Inf Plt (VBCI)
local sgtia = ScenEdit_AddUnit({
side=s,
type='Facility',
dbid=2396,
name='92RI',
latitude=cargo.latitude,
longitude=cargo.longitude})

elseif cargo.dbid ==2990 then --a unit Landed Detachment becomes a Vehicule VBL
local sgtia = ScenEdit_AddUnit({
side=s,
type='Facility',
dbid=2200,
name='3RICM',
latitude=cargo.latitude,
longitude=cargo.longitude})

elseif cargo.dbid ==2983 then --a unit Armored Plt Generic becomes a Armored Plt Amx-10RC
local sgtia = ScenEdit_AddUnit({
side=s,
type='Facility',
dbid=2198,
name='3RICM',
latitude=cargo.latitude,
longitude=cargo.longitude})

elseif cargo.dbid ==2985 then -- a unit Arty Generic becomes a Arty Bty Caésar
local sgtia = ScenEdit_AddUnit({
side=s,
type='Facility',
dbid=2401,
name='11RA',
latitude=cargo.latitude,
longitude=cargo.longitude})

end

For example a unit Mech Inf - Generic # 2984 becomes a Mech Inf Plt (VBCI) # 2396

Instead of creating a unit, you can teleport an existing unit to the landing position of the generic unit, changing its position with ScenEdit_SetUnit (unit)
