Is there a way to copy/paste the unit ID of an aircraft at an airbase in the scenario editor the same way you can copy/paste it with other units? (I.e. Right click the unit -> Scenario Editor -> Copy unit ID to clipboard)

It isn't clean, but try this in the console:

unit=ScenEdit_GetUnit({side="Test Side", unitname="Test #1"})
print(unit.guid)

Darn... I was hoping I wouldn't have to resort to that.

If you create a SBR Template (NOT a Delta Template), you will find the aircraft listed by name and GUI in the facilities where they live. You can then copy/paste as needed. A bit of detective work may be necessary but still probably quicker than repeating Lua scripts in the console. Example:

quote:

<Unit_fcfb0dc5-eacc-41cb-8e64-238ae9bb97d4>

Try a word search of the *.ini file using the name of the aircraft in question.

I wrote a quick function for you to use. It's not quite as simple as point and click--but still pretty darn easy!

quote:

function ListAircraft(groupTable)
groupData = ScenEdit_GetUnit({guid=groupTable.guid})
hostedAircraft = groupData.hostedUnits.Aircraft
for k,v in pairs (hostedAircraft) do
local unit = ScenEdit_GetUnit({guid=v})
print ("{name='"..unit.name.."', guid='"..unit.guid.."'},")
end
end

To use this, paste the above into your Lua console. Then select your group or unit with hosted aircraft, and copy the unit/group GUID as you mentioned above (ctrl+C or use the Edit>Unit>Copy Data to Clipboard), then type into the console ListAircraft(), click between the brackets and paste your unit data. Should look like this (obviously different names and IDs):

quote:

ListAircraft({name='Melbourne Intl', guid='f1784395-fb52-4712-851a-f5fec5a66e29'})

Click run and you'll have a list of name and GUID for all the aircraft hosted to that unit or base.

Hope that helps.
