Creating Prototypes

[jvpontilhao]

I was searching on how to give prototype units to the player but couldn't find anything related to it on the scenario editor. Is it made on the campaign level? If yes, how can I do it?

-- Possible categories: Prototypes, Captured, LimitedAvailability
function AddEquipment(player_id, unit_type, quantity, category)
local player = world:GetPlayer(player_id)
local equipment = player.equipment
local type = GetUnitType(unit_type)
local eq = equipment[type]
if (eq == nil) then
eq = NewEquipment()
eq.category = category
equipment[type] = eq
end
eq.quantity = eq.quantity + quantity
player.equipment = equipment
end

Example: to get unit for capturing Hex

Village = {{27,25}}

function OnCaptureVillage(action)

-- If this flag was not captured by player 0 or 1 (Axis), do nothing
if(action.new_owner ~= 0 and action.new_owner ~= 1) then return end

if IsItemInTable(Village, action.flag) then

--Do not put other nation equipment into Prototypes

--Temporary All Campaign Bonuses Trigger


AddEquipment(0, "Ju87A", 10, Prototypes)
AddEquipment(0, "203mmM1931", 19, Captured)

else
return
end

end

Don't think those functions work in the live version of the game yet.

eq.quantity = eq.quantity + quantity

Nice - this "equation" reminds me of Commodore Basic in the late 80s... ;D

With the new update, these scripts should now work.
The 1.01.04 update does not require FM or SCW.
AO:SCW requires the new scripting, the new scripting does not require AO:SCW.

Best sample to look at for LUA scripts to give players prototypes and captured units are the Seville and Antequera scenarios. Loaded with scripts and examples in both.
