How do you make a mission at night in editor?

Was wondering how you make a mission at night in editor for BA? Also how do you add special abilities for a unit, such as giving the Flak 88 the ability to bombard enemies?

To change the lighting you would create a lighting file for the map. There are named as _lighting files with the same name as the BAM. Check out the desert campaign scenario files for examples of them in use.

Some unit abilities can be added by changing the squads file values, others would need special scripting. If you look at the IndirectFire.bsf script file, you can see that the check function (which tells a unit whether it can actually do an action) CHECK_ALL_INDIRECT_FIRE looks at BOMBARD_SHOTS, BombardRange, and other attribs.
