TheOttoman -> [ADDED] Cannot add ship to ferry mission via Lua, but can through GUI (10/30/2018 4:44:17 PM)
|
I have a big Lua script to set up a scenario that among other things, adds ports, creates a ferry mission to that port, creates some units, and then adds those units to the mission. I've included the script for troubleshooting.
The germane portion of my issue is this. I create the mission using this script:
ports = {"Port of Singapore","Port of Batu Ampar","Port of Jakarta"...} <- I've created the facilities earlier in the script
for i, nameofport in ipairs(ports) do
ScenEdit_AddMission('Commercial','Transit to '..nameofport,'Ferry',{destination=nameofport})
end
and then
-- [[Commercial Container Vessel - Panamax]]
ccvpname = {"[VTM] M/V Vinalines Queen","[VTM] M/V Hai Nam 89","[VTM] M/V Vinalines Sunrise","[VTM] M/V Vinalines Brave","[VTM] M/V Inlaco Express"}
for i, name in ipairs(ccvpname) do
RandomNumber()
RandomPort()
ScenEdit_AddUnit({type="ship",unitname=name,side="Commercial",dbid="2028",base=PortName})
RandomNumber()
ScenEdit_AssignUnitToMission(name,'Transit to '..PortName)
end
RandomNumber is a 1,24 random number generator, and RandomPort assigns the variable PortName to a specific port based on the number randomly generated..
When I run this in Lua, I get the message in the game message window "[VTM] M/V Vinalines Queen is not an aircraft and cannot be added to a Ferry mission" or something similar for each ship it tries to process.
However.... if I go into the Mission Editor (F11), I see all of the missions created as expected, and I see all of the ships as unassigned units, and I can manually assign them to any of the missions.
Am I doing something wrong in the Lua script?
