Set option to all / some units with script

[Edded]

Hello,

I'm looking for a way to apply a specific option (Altitude restriction max for AAA) to all AAA units on a map. 
There is around 100 / 120 AAA groups without this option, and i'd like to apply a script/trigger that set this option with a specific altitude at mission start, without editing each group individualy.
I've used the same name prefix in group name for all the groups if that is of any use (REDAAA for red and BLUEAAA for blue).

Should work with: https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/DCS_option_altitudeRestrictionMax

I haven't actually tested those settings yet and it is missing from the main AI enumerator table, which may or may not matter. 

 

Assuming it does work then something like this would set the max engage altitude to 4000 meters. 

for i = 1, 2 do
  local allGroups = coalition.getGroups(i, 2)
  for j = 1, #allGroups do
    if string.find(allGroups[j]:getName(), 'AAA') then
       allGroups[j]:getController:setOption(29, 4000)
    end
  end
end

Thanks for the help.

I couldn't get this to work. But I did not check to see why already.
I've also figured that there are units like SA8 or SA9 with 'AAA' in the group name. Couldn't figure if it matter or not tho...

    end
  end
end

 

The only issue is lacking parenthesis line 5 : allGroups[j]:getController():setOption(29, 4000)

Then it works normally (no matters if in a AAA group there is SAM only air def).
