End mission from Lua script possible?

[cfrag]

This seems silly to me, so I assume I must have overlooked this somehow.

 

I'm writing a mission that I want to end immediately if something egregious happens (e.g. someone shooting down a civilian plane).

 

Now, I can do this quite easily outside of a Lua script by setting up a trigger, and invoking the End Mission action from ME - a kludge.

 

And... from inside my Lua code? Is there a trigger.misc.endMission() command somewhere that I overlooked? It seems quite inelegant to  setUserFlag() and then end the mission outside of my script via an ME action on that trigger.  

 

What am I overlooking?

 

Thanks,

There is in the server API but not in the mission scripting environment. Setting a flag and using the trigger is the only workaround. Or setting a trigger with a lua predicate to look for some global value and returning true to execute the trigger.
