Yes, use a Spring.GetUnitsIn**** call and then iterate through the unit list it returns to find enemy units.

Code: Select all
local x, y, z = Spring.GetUnitPosition(unitID)
local teamID = Spring.GetUnitTeam(unitID) -- if you don't know it already
local unitsInRange = Spring.GetUnitsInCylinder(x,y,z, RANGE)
local enemyInRange = {}
for _, unitInRangeID in pairs(unitsInRange) do
local unitTeam = Spring.GetUnitTeam
if not Spring.AreTeamsAllied(unitID, unitInRangeID) then
table.insert(enemyInRange, unitInRangeID)
end
end
Just a e.g. it isn't the cleanest possible

Code: Select all
Spring.GetUnitsInSphere(x,y,z,radius,Spring.ENEMY_UNITS)
also, this should be moved to lua forum

Much better, totally forgot Spring.ENEMY_UNITS even existed.
