SAR Script (with recovery!)

[ckfinite]

Here's a SAR system that you can deploy into your scene. You'll need two events: a startup event, that runs to set up the environment, and a tick event, that checks everything's positions and continued existence. The second task is most easily done by having a unit within a region with a "unit remains in area" trigger set on it- the duration of the unit's stay = the interval between ticks. A short interval is recommended.

Note: "== PersistLib here" means that you should go and copy code to replace that.

Startup:


Tick event:

Hi ckfinite,

I am a complete LUA n00b looking to utilise this script in a mission of mine.

Have created the appropriate triggers with scripting as indicated but am unsure how to structure the addition of aircraft to track and CSAR units. Do you have any working examples / suggestions?

Thanks

Use table.insert(ac, ScenEdit_GetUnit([SELECT YOUR UNIT HERE])) where the comment "--populate ac" is.

Perfect, thanks for your quick response!!
