This link provides valuable information if someone wanted to recreate a Live Episode. It is very detailed. I think that you will like it.

I must say it's an extremely close shave. And with that news, it can be a premature operation, so it is scenario worthy.

Only thing i can think of is a Lua script deleting the unit and adding it again with a different name (and adding it to whatever mission as well).
The problem is to have the new unit appear at the exact position of the old one. I dont think there is a Lua query to get the exact position of a unit.
This means the unit you want to rename would need to fly on a preset fixed flight path to make it believable.

Not sure there is enough meat on this for a full scenario though...

It has been in Erdogans interest to keep a well armed police force as the Police is a direct sub-ordinate to the goverment, while the Army adheres to the people and the secular values of Ataturk, not the goverment per say.

Even not, the word 'police' is the downright definition of authority.

What surprised me is they really doing it accordingly, and doesn't flinch when flying war machines shooting and bombing them. It was this coup made them stars, than typical US National Guard and Chinese Armed Police forces.

Sure. Baloogan and CK posted some functional examples here

Here's the code you're looking for though.

quote:

ScenEdit_SetUnit({side="United States", name="USS Test", newname="USS Dysta"})

a=ScenEdit_GetUnit({side="Navy", name="Boat"})
print(a.latitude)
print(a.longitude)

Choo-choo! Woops.

Anyway, thanks for the code!
