Knighthawk75,

I am getting a DB error when trying to load your scenario

It was saved with the latest beta CMO build 1142.2 and db 483. If you have that it should load, unless the upload got corrupted or something by I think Michael's comment suggests it loaded for him.

If you just want the text of the special action part (the meat) and not the whole scene I've attached it here in .txt doc, just copy and past into a repeatable Special Action. Pretty easy to recreate the rest, two sides 'Good Guys' 'Bad Guys', with Bad Guys having Refpoints named rp4,5,6,7 in square of whatever size you want. and throw a mobile-personnel, and some other non-mobile-personnel (for testing the unit type filtering) unit onto good guy side and press the SA to check if they're inside the rp's or not. If you're still on cmano the nuts of the code should still work as while I didn't test this specific script in cmano most of it was pulled from existing snippets that were from cmano days. Alternatively tell me DB version you want the sample in and I'll replicate it.

First of all, Knighthawk, I tested your code and it worked perfectly. Thank you so much
But.....you knew there was going to be a but.....
to my chagrin, picking up a deployed unit does not qualify for activating the "unit leaves area" trigger.

I love this code. Thanks for sharing. Is there a way to check to see if there is any mobile personal OR mobile vehicle units left in the area? ie check for both types and if there are any of either type then the result is "A unit is still in the area". If there is 1 type but not the other type, the result is still "A unit is still in the area". Only if there are no units of either type would the result be "No units left in the area"

-- user code here
local r = ScenEdit_GetReferencePoints({side="Bad Guys", area={"RP-4","RP-5","RP-6","RP-7"}})
local rval;

if (r ~=nil) then
  if( checkAreaForUnits('Good Guys',r,'Facility','5002') == true or checkAreaForUnits('Good Guys',r,'Facility','5001') == true) then
    print('A unit is still in the area');
  else
   print('No units left in area');
  end
end
r = nil;

Is there a way to check to see if a specific aircraft (not any type of aircraft- either by name or GUID) is at a "base" rather than in an area?
