pclaurent -> enumerate units (7/22/2020 1:34:51 PM) Simple question: Is there a way to get a list of all existing units of a given side using a lua script?

KnightHawk75 -> RE: enumerate units (7/22/2020 8:00:50 PM) If you want them not filtered by type at all... local s = VP_GetSide({Side="myside"}) for k,v in pairs(s.units) do --units holds a table of all unit names and guids. print('name: ' .. v.name .. ' guid: ' .. tostring(v.guid)) end

pclaurent -> RE: enumerate units (7/22/2020 8:21:34 PM) Wow, works great. Filtering by type should be a piece of cake. Thanks!

KnightHawk75 -> RE: enumerate units (7/22/2020 8:50:13 PM) Keep in mind you don't have to do some of the filtering yourself anymore in 1146+ You can use enhancements to s:unitsBy() filtering mechanisms for type and then subtype or category with-in that type to get back a prefiltered table. Super handy and faster than old way of sub filtering manually. ie side:unitsBy('Ship') side:unitsBy('Ship',2002) side:unitsBy('Ship', 2002, 3003) side:unitsBy('Ship',,3002) etc

pclaurent -> RE: enumerate units (7/24/2020 8:08:36 AM) got it - works fine. Tx
