| Environment: | Mission Scripting | |

| Function: | SetUnitTACAN | |
| Function Description: | Configures the TACAN beacon of an individual unit. The function verifies that UnitName refers to a valid unit and that the provided arguments are of the correct types (callsign and modeChannel must be strings, channel a number, and AA a boolean). If all checks pass, it builds a TACAN command using the appropriate system ID (tanker or AA mode) and activates the beacon on the unit. | |
