Ok, this took me a while.. but I finally was able to dump all properties of the Unit object.

local a = ScenEdit_GetUnit({ side = 'USSR' , name = 'Roxy #1' })
print(a.fields)
for k,v in pairs(a.fields) do
if string.find(k,'property_') ~= nil then
local t = string.find(v," , ") -- location of first ,
print("\r\n[object] = " .. string.sub(v,2,t-1) ) -- property name
print( a[string.sub(v,2,t-1)] ) -- value of property
end
end

All I want to do is assign the BASE of the unit, there appears to be a properly called "hostFacility" but when I go to set this, nothing happens to the unit.

local a = ScenEdit_GetUnit({ side = 'USSR' , name = 'Roxy #1' })
ScenEdit_SetUnit({ side = 'USSR' , name = 'Roxy #1'}, {hostFacility='Nairobi Air Force Base (KDPA)'})

Tried tables, selectors, etc.. nothing.

Any ideas? I'm not even sure that's the right lua wrapper, but there is no other host or assignedBase property.

Thanks,

To change base using the unit wrapper.

quote:

local u = ScenEdit_GetUnit({name='Looking #1', guid='207d76e0-e5be-4012-bbc8-93a142bb5b7b'})
print(u.base)
-- new base has to be a unit wrapper for some reason (I can't recall why)
u.base = ScenEdit_GetUnit({name='Tsu'})
print(u.base)

unit.hostFacility from memory is the the facility holding the unit (such as a Hanger)

This should work also as long as the base can host the unit.
