FualState in Lua : how do you use it ? - 3/21/2016 5:28:10 PM

Status: offline 		As the title says. I want to set the fuel state of units in scenarios, using Lua, but I can't seem to make it work. I tried to follow the syntax on Baloogan's Lua function documentation, but it's not clear as to how to integrate it in API calls. Anyone could post a working example (in a ScenEdit_AddUnit script), I'd be grateful !

local u = ScenEdit_AddUnit(...)
local fuel = u.fuel
fuel[3001].current = 400
u.fuel = fuel

(you'll need to get the fuel code from the list on that page)

Status: offline 		Ah, thanks ! I understand better now. I think you should put this example instead of (or in addition to) the one in the link, which is less complete (and which I couldn't understand ). And thanks for the rest of the Lua documentation by the way, it's immensely helpful

Did you mean ADDUnit or GetUnit?

Do I understand this accurately?

I just tried it in the Lua console, using it like this : 
local u =  ScenEdit_SetUnit({side="India", guid="0747cd9c-eca2-4a65-b04e-c0d226b0a91d"})
local fuel = u.fuel 
fuel[2001].current = 1500 
u.fuel = fuel


Of course, you have to change side and guid accordingly, but in this example I changed the fuel state of an airborne plane (therefore the 2001 code for avgas).

Yes, exactly. See my documentation for what you can do with it.

AddUnit, since that's what iborg asked about. If you look at the documentation, you can see it returns the unit that was added.

Thank you for taking the time to answer. :)

Status: offline 		I tried to modify the unit's maximum fuel for a new scenario, but the Max field doesn't seems working. Something wrong in this script? (Tested Current adjustment is working)

local u = ScenEdit_SetUnit({side="***", guid="***"})
local fuel = u.fuel
fuel[3001].max = 50000
u.fuel = fuel

I suspect (but don't know for sure) that the max fuel state is read only.

Ouch. Is there's a workaround like using triggers? If not, seems like the only way is to make a replenishment ship for refueling.

You can refuel the units like the following:

local u = ScenEdit_SetUnit({side=..., guid=...})
local fuel = u.fuel
fuel[2001].current = fuel[2001].max
u.fuel = fuel

But you can't change the maximum amount of fuel that the unit has, as far as I know.

Got it! With Event, Trigger and Action, the ship can now roaming much further as long as it reached the set area.
