Status: offline 		Guys once again I stand before you, cap in hand,

Im looking to tap into your LUA knowledge. I want add a aircraft inflight, so I used the search function and found the following post by gunner98

ScenEdit_AddUnit({type='Ship', side='NATO Support', name='AOE 6 Supply', dbid='490', heading='240', latitude='55.3474463444513', longitude='-35.1083051655598'})

Just change up everything inside the '..' to what you need. You can get the Lat/Long by clicking your mouse on the map where you want it - leave the pointer there and use the hotkey 'Ctrl x', it is now in your computers clipboard and you can paste it.



So I tried that changing it too:

ScenEdit_AddUnit({type='aircraft', side='A', name='OV-10A Bronco', dbid='3007', heading='240',latitude='19.1811289766319', longitude='104.916723814066'})

I tried that various things as below, I wondered where the aircrafts altitude is added in so I tried adding that in as well, but got the following results:

>> ScenEdit_AddUnit({type='aircraft', side='A', name='OV-10A Bronco', dbid='3007', heading='240',latitude='19.1811289766319', longitude='104.916723814066'})

ERROR: [string "Console"]:1: unfinished string near ''104.916723814066,}) '

I wondered if anyone fancied giving me a few pointers or helping me work out where I have gone wrong?

Kind Regards

Missing a comma after the longitude value.

The altitude key needs to be specified: altitude=5000

the value for longitude is missing a ' -- you can either add an extra ' or get rid of the one that's already there (numbers in this table don't need quote marks, just strings)

Same issue.

It gets easier with practice!

ScenEdit_AddUnit({
type = 'Aircraft',
name = 'MiG-29K Fulcrum',
loadoutid = 16934,
heading = 0,
dbid = 3320,
side = 'Red',
latitude='39.2',
longitude='18.7',
altitude="36000 ft",
autodetectable="false",
holdfire="false",
loadoutid=17526,
proficiency=4
})

I ended up using Waynes code, and bit by bit I managed to get it to do what I wanted.
BTW Wayne, there appears to be two loadout IDs in your code, that threw me a little to start with

But genuinely one and all, thanks again for the help.

No doubt Ill be back scrounging up help shortly lol

Yup, my oversight! Don't need both loadoutids. I was changing stuff and left one in. With two I believe it uses the second one encountered.
