Oh I see — in that case, you’d want to mark the satellite units out of comms, not the submarine.

If for whatever reason that’s not possible, you could instead put the satellite units on a separate side friendly to the player side so that they share contact information. When the sub descends below -40m, you’d change the side posture to neutral.

The read-only attributes can usually be set with ScenEdit_SetUnit(). Here's how I might do it (enclosing the calls to ScenEdit_Set/GetUnit in a pcall, to avoid any silent exceptions if something happens to Kasan):

-----

local kasan_guid = 'XMJRWB-0HME8AIUVIKKH'
local success, unit = pcall(ScenEdit_GetUnit, {guid=kasan_guid})
if unit then
    if unit.altitude < -40 then
        if unit.outofcomms == false then
            pcall(ScenEdit_SetUnit, {guid=kasan_guid, outofcomms=true})
        end
    else
        if unit.outofcomms == true then
            pcall(ScenEdit_SetUnit, {guid=kasan_guid, outofcomms=false})
        end
    end
end

Happy to help!

You can get the indentations by using the 'code' tag from the buttons above the text box. But actually I generally avoid it unless the code is very short-- longer segments break the layout on most browsers.

I found this code in the Silent Service DLC and there is a part I don't understand...
...

I'm not familiar with a "for" statement what is this doing? "for i = 1,#assets do"
And this as well? " unit = ScenEdit_GetUnit({guid=assets.guid})"
