i just tried to spawn a unit of fallschirmjaeger in airtransport and noticed this is not as easy as i thought.
any ideas on how to do it?

same is for any other unit embarked on whatever. i can´t figure out the command to have the unit spawned embarked.

any help welcome.

seers,
thomas

That works, example:

For Germany:

function F1()
local feld = {8,3} -- set into
local einheit = "Fallschirmjager"
local player = world:GetPlayer(0)
local create_action = world:MakePurchaseAction(player, einheit, "SharedJu52", 0)
create_action.auxiliary = true
create_action.cost = 0
world:Exec(create_action)
local unit = world:GetUnit(create_action.id)
local hex = world:GetHex(feld)
if (hex:GetUnit(0) == nil) then
deploy_action = world:MakeDeployAction(unit,feld)
world:Exec(deploy_action)
end

For Italy:
Fallschirmjager -> ITParatroopers
SharedJu52 -> ITJu52

!!! Don't be surprised, the paratroopers are displayed as having landed, but will be transported by plane the next time they move !!!

OK i gave up when i saw 3 infantrie swimming in the ocean and didn´t try to move them.

Hi asuser
This method seems to have some issues as the Ju52 is now attached as an organic transport to the Fallschirmjager.
And they can use this air transport every single turn to move.

I also tried this method with LandingCraft with a unit spawned in water but the unit remains stuck after it gets onto the "organic" LandingCraft to move.

Is there an alternative way to embark the unit programmatically using LUA?
