Set fuel level

[orca]

What is the lua script to set current and max fuel levels for a unit?

I’m attempting to set the max and current fuel level of an aircraft. I hope to be able to make these values to be greater than the regular fuel capacity of the aircraft as stated in the db but can’t get it to work.

Thanks

heres one way - I don't think you can get it more than max though. You can only set current.
Fuels have a type. Careful with that.

local a = ScenEdit_GetUnit({guid='1298e86b-a6a8-4bb0-bf94-dd77c6559eaa'})
local fuel = a.fuel
print(fuel) --before change

fuel[2001].current = fuel[2001].max*math.random(600, 800)/1000
a.fuel = fuel
print(fuel) --after change

Thanks for the reply. In the command lua documentation it talks about the “max number-How much can be stored for the type” in regard to the fuel. This is why I was thinking it may be possible to edit this to be higher than in the default db max number.

Lots of accessible fields are read-only, which I suspect is the case with max fuel for a given fuel type.

Be aware changes may be on the way so that we can actually fill up all the fuel tanks when there are multiple.

It not so much a read only issue, it's a can't force it to fill up the correct tank of same type usually when more than 1 exists.
