Anyone knows the proper names of units for the lua script? I mean e.g. if you want a Shilka as a cargo for the Mi-8 to load, drop somewhere and unpack then you'll have to enter the proper unit's name in the lua script for the script to "understand". I've tried "ZSU-23-4", "SAPPP", "SPAAA ZSU-23-4" etc. They all didn't work out. Do we have a list for that purpose?

Call the silka group "extract1"

Call the silka group "extract1"

Didn't work.

 

Here's the line: { weight = 900, desc = "Shilka", unit = "extract1", side = 1 },

 

"Shilka" is only what the player sees in his F-10 menu.

 

So obviously there are some codenames for these units. Any idea where I can find a list of some sort?

Make a mission with one unit on it, the one you want to find the name for and name the unit something memorable.

 

Save mission

 

Rename miz to .zip

 

Open the file called mission in the zip with a good text editor

 

Search for the name of the unit in the file and you should see the type name close by in the LUA

Also check the objectDB and the typeName entry: https://github.com/mrSkortch/DCS-miscScripts/blob/master/ObjectDB/Air%20Defense/ZSU-23-4%20Shilka.lua
