Is there a lua command to add victory points to a side?
If not, is there a property I can interrogate and add points with?

Thank you!

Well you have the "points" action in the event editor.

If that doesn't work and you want to somehow Lua activate that maybe you could make a repeatable event that has an action of adding 1 point (or however many you want) and is triggered by a "jeep" or some unit on a non player side entering an RP defined area in Siberia or somewhere away from the action.

Then whenever you want Lua to add a point you use Lua to add that exact type of mobile unit at a coordinate just outside the area, and assign it to a mission to move into the RP marked area.

Does that make sense? Never tried it, just what I could think of right now

Okay I found the answer with the stuff the Developers provided...

NNNN = the maximum number of points possible...
The Developers really gave us some great tools to use with LUA...
====
newScore = ScenEdit_GetScore (side)
r = math.random(1, NNN)
newScore = NewScore + r
ScenEdit_SetScore (side, newScore)
====
Now, if I can only figure out how many points to award for surviving uptown Kate (as opposed to Kate Upton).
