1- Trying to unload cargo (ground forces) from a city when opposing ground forces are spotted inside a zoe around it.

>> ScenEdit_UnloadCargo({name='Structure (Military Base)', guid='505332a4-e257-47f4-8768-9e82b234ee4c'}, [table])
ERROR: [string "Console"]:1: unexpected symbol near '['
>> ScenEdit_UnloadCargo({name='Structure (Military Base)', guid='505332a4-e257-47f4-8768-9e82b234ee4c'})
ERROR: [string "Console"]:1: invalid arguments to method call

I seem to be missing a step,uncertain what it is though.

2- Attempting to have reloads available to Iranian SSM sites... I used the de record number (924) here for the weapon record...the following error keeps coming..
>> ScenEdit_GetUnit({name='Ammo Bunker (Underground)', guid='ec233bbf-baa9-4d32-878c-1019bf9e76b8'})

>> ScenEdit_AddWeaponToUnitMagazine(924)

ERROR: [string "Console"]:1: invalid arguments to method call

Any help with either greatly appreciated, thank you

1. For unloading cargo, you need to supply what to unload - ScenEdit_UnloadCargo (fromUnit, cargoList).
cargoList = List of cargo to unload: table of {guids}, or { { number, (optional) DBID of item}}
ScenEdit_UnloadCargo('505332a4-e257-47f4-8768-9e82b234ee4c', {{2918},'fde7142b-8757-47c0-8170-2748d74132d3'})

2. For adding to magazine - ScenEdit_AddWeaponToUnitMagazine (descriptor) where descriptor describes the weapon and magazine to update.
ScenEdit_AddWeaponToUnitMagazine({unitname='Ammo', w_dbid=773, number=1})

OK... I tried the above but (still novice at this sorry lol) got the following
>> ScenEdit_UnloadCargo({name='Structure (Military Base)', guid='505332a4-e257-47f4-8768-9e82b234ee4c'}, {{2406},})
ERROR: [string "Console"]:1: invalid arguments to method call

I realize that I may not be able to do what I had planned- t works with my switching in scenario creation mode to the other side, but obviously the player cannot do that and it would ruin the surprise even if he could..the idea being that the player must land some ground units which must remain inside specified areas for a length of time...and inside a structure "military base" are ground security forces to make it challenge... I want to make it unload certan units (cargo) when the player side enters the area, and possibly reinforcements if the player disposes of the initial security force. I see that there is not a way however to know the guid# for units inside as "cargo" until they already are out as actual uits- none that I can find anyway.

ScenEdit_UnloadCargo( '505332a4-e257-47f4-8768-9e82b234ee4c', {{2406},})
You need to just refer to the from unit as a string not a Lua table.
