| Function: | GetCallsignID | |
| Function Description: | Returns the numeric ID associated with an aircraft’s callsign prefix. The function first verifies that UnitName refers to a valid unit, then retrieves its full callsign (e.g., "Uzi11"). It extracts the alphabetic prefix, looks up that prefix in the predefined CALLSIGN table, and returns the corresponding number. If the unit is invalid or the prefix isn’t found, it returns nil. | |
