Deactivate "ALL" red ai planes?

[exil]

Hey guys, 

 

i'm trying to find a way to deactivate all my current red air units with one trigger. I stumbled accros the following function from MIST: mist.makeUnitTable

 

so i thought about something like: 

 

redair = mist.makeUnitTable({"[red][plane]"})

 

But now i don't know how to use the table that i just generated and deactivate the units from this table. I'm really sorry, if there is maybe a lot of stupidity in what i'm writing. I'm really not good with lua and till now basically just copy and paste codes and do trail and error.

 

I would appriciate it if someone could help me out here.

The "deactivateGroup" function only works with groups, and your table is a unit table. You should use this (for all red airplanes to deactivate, 1 is red coalition and 0 is airplanes) :

 

for i, gp in pairs(coalition.getGroups(1, 0)) do
targetGroup = Group.getByName(Group.getName(gp))
trigger.action.deactivateGroup(targetGroup)
end

Excellent! I'll test this tomorrow as soon as I get back from work. 

I knew that I was basically working with a unit function but didn't find a way to deactivate them (since there is none). 

 

Thanks a lot!

Works like a charm! 

 

Thank you very much again!
