Is there a way to set damage/remaining life state when spawning a unit?

[moggel]

I've seen I can get damage/remaining life of units but I haven't found any code api to write it. I would like to be able to spawn in damaged units if possible. Is there a way to do that?

That is currently and unfortunately not possible. Also not possible: spawn a unit with half or empty munitions. Hopefully we will gain that ability some time in the future.

It's a hack, but maybe you could play around with popping off a small explosion near the spawned unit.  Play around with the load and distance and position of the bang to see if you can get the level of damage you want.  $0.02.

Yea, that thought had crossed my mind but was hoping not having to spend weeks experimenting with endless combinations of vehicles and explosions to get it right. Thanks anyway
