I have found this a useful repository. I think a focus on expanding this repository would be a very good thing for new and middling users of CMO's lua capability.

I have used a number of these in things I have been building.

I made a small guide on how to set up a scenario to start using Lua in it. I leave it here in case someone might find it useful. Any suggestion don't hesitate to tell me

Lua Scen Setup


I also take this opportunity to share this github where, among other things, lua code snippets are uploaded.

I have uploaded a function that I use a lot when I create scenarios with Lua. It is TimeEvent and as the name suggests, it creates/modifies/deletes a Time Event in CMO with a time trigger and a lua action. You can see it here:

And an example of use with some radars turning ON/OFF at different times can be found here:

I have written a couple of tutorials on how to take advantage of the new web engine in the beta as a scenario designer

The first is to create your own mailbox. In this way, the player will have access to all messages sent to him during the course of the scenario.

The second one is a AirOps status that just display some info about your Air Units. You can filter by units or by missions.

The flexibility with the new web engine is huge and I hope it will allow us to do cool things in new design scenarios!
