reported StaticObject.getByName returns nil for barrage balloon

[uri_ba]

When adding a linked balloon it does not come up in normal staticObject call.

The anchor point object also does not have the balloon in getDecs().

 

Balloon object is present when digging into _G.env.mission.coallition object

Please attach a miz file showing the issue.

Hi @uri_ba. Sorry for the delay. I've just tried your mission. This is what I get in the log:

What should I see instead of this?

Reported. 

He could have had a little better logging, but that nil printed value corresponds to what was returned, which is nothing.

Not a bug, getDesc is a static table that only gives information about the object type and nothing about that specific object in the mission.
