Fer_Cabo -> Trouble with LUA / Activation & Deactivation of No-Navigation Zones (6/9/2017 9:17:56 AM)

Hi guys,

I'm having trouble with a LUA instruction for an Action that deactivates an existing and active No-Navigation Zone.

What i found in CMANO manuals and sample scripts is as follows:

mySide = VP_GetSide({Name=”US”})
myZone = mySide:getnonavzone(“AAW Zone 1”)
myZone.isactive = ”False”

In my Scenario case, the script would be as follows, for an Action deactivating the initially activated No-Navigation-Zone defined for "DPRK" side units on Chinese Territory (the No-Navigation Zone is called "PRCSOVEREIGN"), once the side "PRC" has been attacked and the Mutual Defence Agreement between the two countries/Sides enters into effect:

mySide = VP_GetSide({Name=”DPRK”})
myZone = mySide:getnonavzone(“PRCSOVEREIGN”)
myZone.isactive = ”False”

The problem is... when i test this LUA Script in the Script Console, it returns ERROR based on a character position (148) which does not even exist, since the script is apparently not so long.

What'd be the right scripting?

Thanks a (metric)Ton in advance for your help!

Fernando.

Would be easier to see what problem is if you attach the scenario?
The error should report what line the error occurred on.

Thanks Michael, but the error only reports unexpected character in position 148 (no line reference - besides, there are only 3 lines in the script).

Thought it could be a typo just like using some Capital letters: GetNonavzone vs. getnonavzone, but doesn't work either

I assume you are using the latest version (1.12+)
The " isn't needed around the false.

If you can zip and attach the scenario, I can probably give a clearer answer.
I don't know it is just how it shows, but the quotes marks around DRPK and PRCSOVEREIGN seem to be different.
mySide = VP_GetSide({Name=”DPRK”})
myZone = mySide:getnonavzone(“PRCSOVEREIGN”)

Try using the single quote ' instead.

mySide = VP_GetSide({Name="DPRK"})
myZone = mySide:getnonavzone("PRCSOVEREIGN")
myZone.isactive = False

It works like this!

Thanks a lot!
