Status: offline 		I am having an issue with the set unit side. Running the following script, only one of the 12 aircraft actually switch sides...not certain why even one would work if there is an issue with the script, but it is always the same one "Vanguard #11"

Below are two separate tries with the LUA responses...attached is the scenario as well...thank you

ScenEdit_SetUnitSide({Side='USN', Name='Cabimas Airfield', newside='Venezuela'})
ScenEdit_SetUnitSide({Side='USN', Name='Vanguard #1', newside='Venezuela'})
ScenEdit_AssignUnitToMission({'Vanguard #1', 'Venezuela Intercept'})
ScenEdit_SetUnitSide({Side='USN', Name='Vanguard #2', newside='Venezuela'})
ScenEdit_AssignUnitToMission({'Vanguard #2', 'Venezuela Intercept'})
ScenEdit_SetUnitSide({Side='USN', Name='Vanguard #3', newside='Venezuela'})
ScenEdit_AssignUnitToMission({'Vanguard #3', 'Venezuela Intercept'})
ScenEdit_SetUnitSide({Side='USN', Name='Vanguard #4', newside='Venezuela'})
ScenEdit_AssignUnitToMission({'Vanguard #4', 'Venezuela Intercept'})
ScenEdit_SetUnitSide({Side='USN', Name='Vanguard #5', newside='Venezuela'})
ScenEdit_AssignUnitToMission({'Vanguard #5', 'Venezuela Intercept'})
ScenEdit_SetUnitSide({Side='USN', Name='Vanguard #6', newside='Venezuela'})
ScenEdit_AssignUnitToMission({'Vanguard #6', 'Venezuela Intercept'})
ScenEdit_SetUnitSide({Side='USN', Name='Vanguard #7', newside='Venezuela'})
ScenEdit_AssignUnitToMission({'Vanguard #7', 'Venezuela Intercept'})
ScenEdit_SetUnitSide({Side='USN', Name='Vanguard #8', newside='Venezuela'})
ScenEdit_AssignUnitToMission({'Vanguard #8', 'Venezuela Intercept'})
ScenEdit_SetUnitSide({Side='USN', Name='Vanguard #9', newside='Venezuela'})
ScenEdit_AssignUnitToMission({'Vanguard #9', 'Venezuela Intercept'})
ScenEdit_SetUnitSide({Side='USN', Name='Vanguard #10', newside='Venezuela'})
ScenEdit_AssignUnitToMission({'Vanguard #10', 'Venezuela Intercept'})
ScenEdit_SetUnitSide({Side='USN', Name='Vanguard #11', newside='Venezuela'})
ScenEdit_AssignUnitToMission({'Vanguard #11', 'Venezuela Intercept'})

Status: offline 		in the first section the first error is line 3 - it tells you that in the error:3

problem is that per the docs the function parameters (really called arguments) are not a table - you just pass in the unit name and mission name separated by a comma, inside parens but without the curly brackets so:
ScenEdit_AssignUnitToMission('Vanguard #1','Venezuela Intercept')

all your mission ones need to have the curlies removed then that part should work.

in the other section which is cleaner you have:
------------------------------------------------------
for i=1,12 do
if ScenEdit_GetUnit({Side='USN', Name="Vanguard #1"..i,}) ~= nil then -- unit # exists
ScenEdit_SetUnitSide({Side='USN', Name="Vanguard #1"..i, newside='Venezuela'}) -- change side
if not ScenEdit_GetSideIsHuman('Venezuela') then -- not human side
ScenEdit_AssignUnitToMission("Venezuela #"..i, "Venezuela Intercept") -- assign mission
end
end
end
------------------------------------------------------

first problem is:
ScenEdit_GetUnit({Side='USN', Name="Vanguard #1"..i,}) --this is on two lines, can't have the 1 - should be Name="Vanguard #"..i
you have a 1 hard coded in the name, and are adding the index number to it, which will give you 11,12,13,14,15,15,16,17,18,19,110,111,112 which is why you got #11 to work, but then it chokes on the next line so you don't get #12.

next problem:
ScenEdit_AssignUnitToMission("Venezuela #"..i, "Venezuela Intercept")

the unit name is Vanguard not Venezuela.

Nice work, that looks pretty interesting, haven't seen anything with the ARES AI in it yet I don't think.

This format works: ScenEdit_AssignUnitToMission("Spec Ops", "Coalition LZ").

So,it looks the problem is with the "}" inclusion. If you remove those it should work fine.

The ARES AI (and a horde of other things lol) I am testing in this scenario, which actually began quite tiny but has become my "scenario test tool" for an entire small campaign now.
Thank you.
