I have used the following code with success in the old version ie. command: modern naval/air ops.

However with the new version I get the following:

ERROR: [string "Console"]:3: syntax error near 'u'

local u= ScenEdit_GetReferencePoint({guid='9QYU5K-0HMEJJLE87IL2'})
print u

I don't get what the error is referring too.

Thanks

local function draw_circle_of_units(a,b,t,txt)
  if txt == nil then txt = "" end
  t = t - 1
  lat1 = a.latitude
  lon1 = a.longitude
  lat2 = b.latitude
  lon2 = b.longitude
  dlat = math.abs(lat2-lat1)
  dlon = math.abs(lon2-lon1)
  r = math.sqrt(dlat*dlat + dlon*dlon)
  for i=0,t-1 do
    th = 2 * math.pi * i / t
    rlat = lat1 + r * math.sin(th)
    rlon = lon1 + r * math.cos(th)
    ScenEdit_AddUnit({
      side='PlayerSide',
      type = 'Facility',
      dbid = 62,
      name=txt,
      lat=rlat,
      lon=rlon,
      heading = th * 180.0 / 3.14159})
  end

end
