Question about LUA

[snowburn]

Hello!!

i want to add some reserve aircraft to a mission when 5 sam sites where destroyed.
can we do something like this with the new LUA editor?



Event scenario_start:
trigger: T1
action: init_variables


Event: SAM Site destroyed
trigger: sam_site_hit
action: sam_site_count
add_fighters




Action init_variables:
ScenEdit_SetKeyValue('sam_site_destroyed', 0 )


Action: sam_site_count:
ScenEdit_SetKeyValue('sam_site_destroyed', ScenEdit_GetKeyValue('sam_site_destroyed') +1 )


Action add_fighters:
if(ScenEdit_GetKeyValue('sam_site_destroyed') == 5) {
ScenEdit_AssignUnitToMission('ac1', 'CAP')
ScenEdit_AssignUnitToMission('ac2', 'CAP')
ScenEdit_AssignUnitToMission('ac3', 'CAP')
ScenEdit_AssignUnitToMission('ac4', 'CAP')
ScenEdit_AssignUnitToMission('ac5', 'CAP')
}

Is the ScenEdit_SetKeyValue part of API? I don't see it documented on github site.

I knew I forgot something, sorry about that. Yes, SetKeyValue and GetKeyValue are both valid functions.

They are now documented, again sorry about that.

I've also found that ScenEdit_GetReferencePoint() works as expected but is not documented. It is pretty useful function to check whether unit is within certain area defined by RPs.
