Difficulty connecting Power Sources and Connection Nodes to Units #90
Description
I have two sets of groups Iraq-AA-SAM-SA2-1 to Iraq-AA-SAM-SA2-7 and Iraq-AA-SAM-Support-SA2-1 to Iraq-AA-SAM-Support-SA2-7
Each Support group has C2, supply, and generator units for the SAM group of the same number. SAM-1 is with Support-1, etc.
I'm using this code to try to connect the generators and C2 from the Supply groups to the SAM groups
iraqIADS:addSAMSitesByPrefix("Iraq-AA-SAM-SA2")
for i = 1, 7 do
iraqIADS:getSAMSiteByGroupName("Iraq-AA-SAM-SA2-" .. i)
:setAutonomousBehaviour(math.random(SkynetIADSAbstractRadarElement.AUTONOMOUS_STATE_DCS_AI, SkynetIADSAbstractRadarElement.AUTONOMOUS_STATE_DARK))
:setCanEngageAirWeapons(true)
:setCanEngageHARM(true)
:setEngagementZone(SkynetIADSAbstractRadarElement.GO_LIVE_WHEN_IN_SEARCH_RANGE)
:setGoLiveRangeInPercent(math.random(75, 150))
:setHARMDetectionChance(math.random(15, 30))
local connectionNode = Unit.getByName("Iraq-AA-SAM-SA2-" .. i .. "-4")
local searchRadar = Unit.getByName("Iraq-AA-SAM-SA2-" .. i .. "-1")
local searchRadarPower = Unit.getByName("Iraq-AA-SAM-Support-SA2-" .. i .. "-16")
searchRadar:addPowerSource(searchRadarPower):addConnectionNode(connectionNode)
local trackingRadar = Unit.getByName("Iraq-AA-SAM-SA2-" .. i .. "-2")
local trackingRadarPower = Unit.getByName("Iraq-AA-SAM-Support-SA2-" .. i .. "-15")
trackingRadar:addPowerSource(trackingRadarPower):addConnectionNode(connectionNode)
local rangingRadar = Unit.getByName("Iraq-AA-SAM-SA2-" .. i .. "-3")
local rangingRadarPower = Unit.getByName("Iraq-AA-SAM-Support-SA2-" .. i .. "-14")
rangingRadar:addPowerSource(rangingRadarPower):addConnectionNode(connectionNode)
endhowever I'm getting this error attempt to call method 'addPowerSource' (a nil value).
I've confirmed that the power source units and SAM units do exist and the names are correct.
ex. ["name"] = "Iraq-AA-SAM-SA2-1-1", and ["name"] = "Iraq-AA-SAM-Support-SA2-1-16",
I'm using this same method earlier in the script to connect power and command to EWR without any error notifications
iraqIADS:addEarlyWarningRadarsByPrefix("Iraq-AA-EWR")
for i = 1, 3 do
iraqIADS:getEarlyWarningRadarByUnitName("Iraq-AA-EWR-" .. i .. "-1")
:addPowerSource(Unit.getByName("Iraq-AA-EWR-" .. i .. "-2"))
:addConnectionNode(Unit.getByName("Iraq-AA-EWR-" .. i .. "-3"))
endSo I'm a little confused at to what I'm doing wrong and any help would be appreciated!
