The documentation stats:
FUNCTION ALL_CHECK_<name>( me, unit, tilex, tiley )
This function is used to determine whether a unit can perform a task. The return value can be either the cost of the action in AP, or -2 if you with the task icon not to be shown, or -1 if you wish to show the icon in a disabled state.

In the load.bsf
FUNCTION CHECK_UNIT_LOAD
if you add at the end

Log("ret",ret);
return ret ;
}

you get 8 even if the truck icon appears as disabled, (can't load) for example because infantry has less than 8 MP.
I can't understand how it works. Should return -1 no?

It may be that the internal logic compares the cost to unit APs and over-rides.

But then it overrides the scripting system and its normal behavior, seems arbitrary, no?

It's true for every order - it's just that most do internal checks, but you don't have to do so.

ok, but if BA makes an internal check on value 8, then we can't modify the load cost by scripting.

It only checks against how many APs the unit has. Which is pretty logical.
