--- @type BASE
-- @field ClassName The name of the class.
-- @field ClassID The ID number of the class.
-- @field ClassNameAndID The name of the class concatenated with the ID number of the class.

--- BASE class
--
-- # 1. BASE constructor.
-- 
-- Any class derived from BASE, will use the @{Core.Base#BASE.New} constructor embedded in the @{Core.Base#BASE.Inherit} method. 
-- See an example at the @{Core.Base#BASE.New} method how this is done.
-- 
-- # 2. Trace information for debugging.
-- 
-- The BASE class contains trace methods to trace progress within a mission execution of a certain object.
-- These trace methods are inherited by each MOOSE class interiting BASE, soeach object created from derived class from BASE can use the tracing methods to trace its execution.
-- 
-- Any type of information can be passed to these tracing methods. See the following examples:
-- 
--     self:E( "Hello" )
-- 
-- Result in the word "Hello" in the dcs.log.
-- 
--     local Array = { 1, nil, "h", { "a","b" }, "x" }
--     self:E( Array )
--     
-- Results with the text [1]=1,[3]="h",[4]={[1]="a",[2]="b"},[5]="x"} in the dcs.log.   
-- 
--     local Object1 = "Object1"
--     local Object2 = 3
--     local Object3 = { Object 1, Object 2 }
--     self:E( { Object1, Object2, Object3 } )
--     
-- Results with the text [1]={[1]="Object",[2]=3,[3]={[1]="Object",[2]=3}} in the dcs.log.
--     
--     local SpawnObject = SPAWN:New( "Plane" )
--     local GroupObject = GROUP:FindByName( "Group" )
--     self:E( { Spawn = SpawnObject, Group = GroupObject } )
-- 
-- Results with the text [1]={Spawn={....),Group={...}} in the dcs.log.  
-- 
-- Below a more detailed explanation of the different method types for tracing.
-- 
-- ## 2.1. Tracing methods categories.
--
-- There are basically 3 types of tracing methods available:
-- 
--   * @{#BASE.F}: Used to trace the entrance of a function and its given parameters. An F is indicated at column 44 in the DCS.log file.
--   * @{#BASE.T}: Used to trace further logic within a function giving optional variables or parameters. A T is indicated at column 44 in the DCS.log file.
--   * @{#BASE.E}: Used to always trace information giving optional variables or parameters. An E is indicated at column 44 in the DCS.log file.
-- 
-- ## 2.2 Tracing levels.
--
-- There are 3 tracing levels within MOOSE.    
-- These tracing levels were defined to avoid bulks of tracing to be generated by lots of objects.
-- 
-- As such, the F and T methods have additional variants to trace level 2 and 3 respectively:
--
--   * @{#BASE.F2}: Trace the beginning of a function and its given parameters with tracing level 2.
--   * @{#BASE.F3}: Trace the beginning of a function and its given parameters with tracing level 3.
--   * @{#BASE.T2}: Trace further logic within a function giving optional variables or parameters with tracing level 2.
--   * @{#BASE.T3}: Trace further logic within a function giving optional variables or parameters with tracing level 3.
-- 
-- ## 2.3. Trace activation.
-- 
-- Tracing can be activated in several ways:
-- 
--   * Switch tracing on or off through the @{#BASE.TraceOnOff}() method.
--   * Activate all tracing through the @{#BASE.TraceAll}() method.
--   * Activate only the tracing of a certain class (name) through the @{#BASE.TraceClass}() method.
--   * Activate only the tracing of a certain method of a certain class through the @{#BASE.TraceClassMethod}() method.
--   * Activate only the tracing of a certain level through the @{#BASE.TraceLevel}() method.
-- 
-- ## 2.4. Check if tracing is on.
-- 
-- The method @{#BASE.IsTrace}() will validate if tracing is activated or not.
-- 
-- 
-- # 3. DCS simulator Event Handling.
-- 
-- The BASE class provides methods to catch DCS Events. These are events that are triggered from within the DCS simulator, 
-- and handled through lua scripting. MOOSE provides an encapsulation to handle these events more efficiently.
-- 
-- ## 3.1. Subscribe / Unsubscribe to DCS Events.
-- 
-- At first, the mission designer will need to **Subscribe** to a specific DCS event for the class.
-- So, when the DCS event occurs, the class will be notified of that event.
-- There are two methods which you use to subscribe to or unsubscribe from an event.
-- 
--   * @{#BASE.HandleEvent}(): Subscribe to a DCS Event.
--   * @{#BASE.UnHandleEvent}(): Unsubscribe from a DCS Event.
-- 
-- ## 3.2. Event Handling of DCS Events.
-- 
-- Once the class is subscribed to the event, an **Event Handling** method on the object or class needs to be written that will be called
-- when the DCS event occurs. The Event Handling method receives an @{Core.Event#EVENTDATA} structure, which contains a lot of information
-- about the event that occurred.
-- 
-- Find below an example of the prototype how to write an event handling function for two units: 
--
--      local Tank1 = UNIT:FindByName( "Tank A" )
--      local Tank2 = UNIT:FindByName( "Tank B" )
--      
--      -- Here we subscribe to the Dead events. So, if one of these tanks dies, the Tank1 or Tank2 objects will be notified.
--      Tank1:HandleEvent( EVENTS.Dead )
--      Tank2:HandleEvent( EVENTS.Dead )
--      
--      --- This function is an Event Handling function that will be called when Tank1 is Dead.
--      -- @param Wrapper.Unit#UNIT self 
--      -- @param Core.Event#EVENTDATA EventData
--      function Tank1:OnEventDead( EventData )
--
--        self:SmokeGreen()
--      end
--
--      --- This function is an Event Handling function that will be called when Tank2 is Dead.
--      -- @param Wrapper.Unit#UNIT self 
--      -- @param Core.Event#EVENTDATA EventData
--      function Tank2:OnEventDead( EventData )
--
--        self:SmokeBlue()
--      end
-- 
-- 
-- 
-- See the @{Event} module for more information about event handling.
-- 
-- # 4. Class identification methods.
-- 
-- BASE provides methods to get more information of each object:
-- 
--   * @{#BASE.GetClassID}(): Gets the ID (number) of the object. Each object created is assigned a number, that is incremented by one.
--   * @{#BASE.GetClassName}(): Gets the name of the object, which is the name of the class the object was instantiated from.
--   * @{#BASE.GetClassNameAndID}(): Gets the name and ID of the object.
-- 
-- # 5. All objects derived from BASE can have "States".
-- 
-- A mechanism is in place in MOOSE, that allows to let the objects administer **states**.  
-- States are essentially properties of objects, which are identified by a **Key** and a **Value**.  
-- 
-- The method @{#BASE.SetState}() can be used to set a Value with a reference Key to the object.  
-- To **read or retrieve** a state Value based on a Key, use the @{#BASE.GetState} method.  
-- 
-- These two methods provide a very handy way to keep state at long lasting processes.
-- Values can be stored within the objects, and later retrieved or changed when needed.
-- There is one other important thing to note, the @{#BASE.SetState}() and @{#BASE.GetState} methods
-- receive as the **first parameter the object for which the state needs to be set**.
-- Thus, if the state is to be set for the same object as the object for which the method is used, then provide the same
-- object name to the method.
-- 
-- # 6. Inheritance.
-- 
-- The following methods are available to implement inheritance
-- 
--   * @{#BASE.Inherit}: Inherits from a class.
--   * @{#BASE.GetParent}: Returns the parent object from the object it is handling, or nil if there is no parent object.

--- The SCHEDULER class
-- @type SCHEDULER
-- @field #table Schedules Table of schedules.
-- @field #table MasterObject Master object.
-- @field #boolean ShowTrace Trace info if true.
-- @extends Core.Base#BASE


--- Creates and handles schedules over time, which allow to execute code at specific time intervals with randomization.
-- 
-- A SCHEDULER can manage **multiple** (repeating) schedules. Each planned or executing schedule has a unique **ScheduleID**.
-- The ScheduleID is returned when the method @{#SCHEDULER.Schedule}() is called.
-- It is recommended to store the ScheduleID in a variable, as it is used in the methods @{SCHEDULER.Start}() and @{SCHEDULER.Stop}(),
-- which can start and stop specific repeating schedules respectively within a SCHEDULER object.
--
-- ## SCHEDULER constructor
-- 
-- The SCHEDULER class is quite easy to use, but note that the New constructor has variable parameters:
-- 
-- The @{#SCHEDULER.New}() method returns 2 variables:
--   
--  1. The SCHEDULER object reference.
--  2. The first schedule planned in the SCHEDULER object.
-- 
-- To clarify the different appliances, lets have a look at the following examples: 
--  
-- ### Construct a SCHEDULER object without a persistent schedule.
-- 
--   * @{#SCHEDULER.New}( nil ): Setup a new SCHEDULER object, which is persistently executed after garbage collection.
-- 
--     MasterObject = SCHEDULER:New()
--     SchedulerID = MasterObject:Schedule( nil, ScheduleFunction, {} )
-- 
-- The above example creates a new MasterObject, but does not schedule anything.
-- A separate schedule is created by using the MasterObject using the method :Schedule..., which returns a ScheduleID
-- 
-- ### Construct a SCHEDULER object without a volatile schedule, but volatile to the Object existence...
-- 
--   * @{#SCHEDULER.New}( Object ): Setup a new SCHEDULER object, which is linked to the Object. When the Object is nillified or destroyed, the SCHEDULER object will also be destroyed and stopped after garbage collection.
-- 
--     ZoneObject = ZONE:New( "ZoneName" )
--     MasterObject = SCHEDULER:New( ZoneObject )
--     SchedulerID = MasterObject:Schedule( ZoneObject, ScheduleFunction, {} )
--     ...
--     ZoneObject = nil
--     garbagecollect()
-- 
-- The above example creates a new MasterObject, but does not schedule anything, and is bound to the existence of ZoneObject, which is a ZONE.
-- A separate schedule is created by using the MasterObject using the method :Schedule()..., which returns a ScheduleID
-- Later in the logic, the ZoneObject is put to nil, and garbage is collected.
-- As a result, the MasterObject will cancel any planned schedule.
--      
-- ### Construct a SCHEDULER object with a persistent schedule.
-- 
--   * @{#SCHEDULER.New}( nil, Function, FunctionArguments, Start, ... ): Setup a new persistent SCHEDULER object, and start a new schedule for the Function with the defined FunctionArguments according the Start and sequent parameters.
--   
--     MasterObject, SchedulerID = SCHEDULER:New( nil, ScheduleFunction, {} )
--     
-- The above example creates a new MasterObject, and does schedule the first schedule as part of the call.
-- Note that 2 variables are returned here: MasterObject, ScheduleID...
--   
-- ### Construct a SCHEDULER object without a schedule, but volatile to the Object existence...
-- 
--   * @{#SCHEDULER.New}( Object, Function, FunctionArguments, Start, ... ): Setup a new SCHEDULER object, linked to Object, and start a new schedule for the Function with the defined FunctionArguments according the Start and sequent parameters.
--
--     ZoneObject = ZONE:New( "ZoneName" )
--     MasterObject, SchedulerID = SCHEDULER:New( ZoneObject, ScheduleFunction, {} )
--     SchedulerID = MasterObject:Schedule( ZoneObject, ScheduleFunction, {} )
--     ...
--     ZoneObject = nil
--     garbagecollect()
--     
-- The above example creates a new MasterObject, and schedules a method call (ScheduleFunction), 
-- and is bound to the existence of ZoneObject, which is a ZONE object (ZoneObject).
-- Both a MasterObject and a SchedulerID variable are returned.
-- Later in the logic, the ZoneObject is put to nil, and garbage is collected.
-- As a result, the MasterObject will cancel the planned schedule.
--  
-- ## SCHEDULER timer stopping and (re-)starting.
--
-- The SCHEDULER can be stopped and restarted with the following methods:
--
--  * @{#SCHEDULER.Start}(): (Re-)Start the schedules within the SCHEDULER object. If a CallID is provided to :Start(), only the schedule referenced by CallID will be (re-)started.
--  * @{#SCHEDULER.Stop}(): Stop the schedules within the SCHEDULER object. If a CallID is provided to :Stop(), then only the schedule referenced by CallID will be stopped.
--
--     ZoneObject = ZONE:New( "ZoneName" )
--     MasterObject, SchedulerID = SCHEDULER:New( ZoneObject, ScheduleFunction, {} )
--     SchedulerID = MasterObject:Schedule( ZoneObject, ScheduleFunction, {}, 10, 10 )
--     ...
--     MasterObject:Stop( SchedulerID )
--     ...
--     MasterObject:Start( SchedulerID )
--     
-- The above example creates a new MasterObject, and does schedule the first schedule as part of the call.
-- Note that 2 variables are returned here: MasterObject, ScheduleID...  
-- Later in the logic, the repeating schedule with SchedulerID is stopped.  
-- A bit later, the repeating schedule with SchedulerId is (re)-started.  
-- 
-- ## Create a new schedule
-- 
-- With the method @{#SCHEDULER.Schedule}() a new time event can be scheduled. 
-- This method is used by the :New() constructor when a new schedule is planned.
-- 
-- Consider the following code fragment of the SCHEDULER object creation.
-- 
--     ZoneObject = ZONE:New( "ZoneName" )
--     MasterObject = SCHEDULER:New( ZoneObject )
-- 
-- Several parameters can be specified that influence the behaviour of a Schedule.
-- 
-- ### A single schedule, immediately executed
-- 
--     SchedulerID = MasterObject:Schedule( ZoneObject, ScheduleFunction, {} )
-- 
-- The above example schedules a new ScheduleFunction call to be executed asynchronously, within milleseconds ...
-- 
-- ### A single schedule, planned over time
-- 
--     SchedulerID = MasterObject:Schedule( ZoneObject, ScheduleFunction, {}, 10 )
--     
-- The above example schedules a new ScheduleFunction call to be executed asynchronously, within 10 seconds ...
-- 
-- ### A schedule with a repeating time interval, planned over time
-- 
--     SchedulerID = MasterObject:Schedule( ZoneObject, ScheduleFunction, {}, 10, 60 )
--     
-- The above example schedules a new ScheduleFunction call to be executed asynchronously, within 10 seconds, 
-- and repeating 60 every seconds ...
-- 
-- ### A schedule with a repeating time interval, planned over time, with time interval randomization
-- 
--     SchedulerID = MasterObject:Schedule( ZoneObject, ScheduleFunction, {}, 10, 60, 0.5 )
--     
-- The above example schedules a new ScheduleFunction call to be executed asynchronously, within 10 seconds, 
-- and repeating 60 seconds, with a 50% time interval randomization ...
-- So the repeating time interval will be randomized using the **0.5**,  
-- and will calculate between **60 - ( 60 * 0.5 )** and **60 + ( 60 * 0.5 )** for each repeat, 
-- which is in this example between **30** and **90** seconds.
-- 
-- ### A schedule with a repeating time interval, planned over time, with time interval randomization, and stop after a time interval
-- 
--     SchedulerID = MasterObject:Schedule( ZoneObject, ScheduleFunction, {}, 10, 60, 0.5, 300 )
--     
-- The above example schedules a new ScheduleFunction call to be executed asynchronously, within 10 seconds, 
-- The schedule will repeat every 60 seconds.
-- So the repeating time interval will be randomized using the **0.5**,  
-- and will calculate between **60 - ( 60 * 0.5 )** and **60 + ( 60 * 0.5 )** for each repeat, 
-- which is in this example between **30** and **90** seconds.
-- The schedule will stop after **300** seconds.

--- **Core** -- SCHEDULEDISPATCHER dispatches the different schedules.
-- 
-- ===
-- 
-- Takes care of the creation and dispatching of scheduled functions for SCHEDULER objects.
-- 
-- This class is tricky and needs some thorough explanation.
-- SCHEDULE classes are used to schedule functions for objects, or as persistent objects.
-- The SCHEDULEDISPATCHER class ensures that:
-- 
--   - Scheduled functions are planned according the SCHEDULER object parameters.
--   - Scheduled functions are repeated when requested, according the SCHEDULER object parameters.
--   - Scheduled functions are automatically removed when the schedule is finished, according the SCHEDULER object parameters.
-- 
-- The SCHEDULEDISPATCHER class will manage SCHEDULER object in memory during garbage collection:
-- 
--   - When a SCHEDULER object is not attached to another object (that is, it's first :Schedule() parameter is nil), then the SCHEDULER object is _persistent_ within memory.
--   - When a SCHEDULER object *is* attached to another object, then the SCHEDULER object is _not persistent_ within memory after a garbage collection!
--   
-- The none persistency of SCHEDULERS attached to objects is required to allow SCHEDULER objects to be garbage collectged, when the parent object is also desroyed or nillified and garbage collected.
-- Even when there are pending timer scheduled functions to be executed for the SCHEDULER object,  
-- these will not be executed anymore when the SCHEDULER object has been destroyed.
-- 
-- The SCHEDULEDISPATCHER allows multiple scheduled functions to be planned and executed for one SCHEDULER object.
-- The SCHEDULER object therefore keeps a table of "CallID's", which are returned after each planning of a new scheduled function by the SCHEDULEDISPATCHER.
-- The SCHEDULER object plans new scheduled functions through the @{Core.Scheduler#SCHEDULER.Schedule}() method. 
-- The Schedule() method returns the CallID that is the reference ID for each planned schedule.

  -- This section handles the tracing of the scheduled calls.
  -- Because these calls will be executed with a delay, we inspect the place where these scheduled calls are initiated.
  -- The Info structure contains the output of the debug.getinfo() calls, which inspects the call stack for the function name, line number and source name.
  -- The call stack has many levels, and the correct semantical function call depends on where in the code AddSchedule was "used".
  --   - Using SCHEDULER:New()
  --   - Using Schedule:AddSchedule()
  --   - Using Fsm:__Func()
  --   - Using Class:ScheduleOnce()
  --   - Using Class:ScheduleRepeat()
  --   - ...
  -- So for each of these scheduled call variations, AddSchedule is the workhorse which will schedule the call.
  -- But the correct level with the correct semantical function location will differ depending on the above scheduled call invocation forms.
  -- That's where the field TraceLevel contains optionally the level in the call stack where the call information is obtained.
  -- The TraceLevel field indicates the correct level where the semantical scheduled call was invoked within the source, ensuring that function name, line number and source name are correct.
  -- There is one quick ...
  -- The FSM class models scheduled calls using the __Func syntax. However, these functions are "tailed".
  -- There aren't defined anywhere within the source code, but rather implemented as triggers within the FSM logic, 
  -- and using the onbefore, onafter, onenter, onleave prefixes. (See the FSM for details).
  -- Therefore, in the call stack, at the TraceLevel these functions are mentioned as "tail calls", and the Info.name field will be nil as a result.
  -- To obtain the correct function name for FSM object calls, the function is mentioned in the call stack at a higher stack level.
  -- So when function name stored in Info.name is nil, then I inspect the function name within the call stack one level higher.
  -- So this little piece of code does its magic wonderfully, preformance overhead is neglectible, as scheduled calls don't happen that often.

--- **Core** - Models DCS event dispatching using a publish-subscribe model.
-- 
-- ===
-- 
-- ## Features:
-- 
--   * Capture DCS events and dispatch them to the subscribed objects.
--   * Generate DCS events to the subscribed objects from within the code.
-- 
-- ===
-- 
-- # Event Handling Overview
-- 
-- ![Objects](..\Presentations\EVENT\Dia2.JPG)
-- 
-- Within a running mission, various DCS events occur. Units are dynamically created, crash, die, shoot stuff, get hit etc.
-- This module provides a mechanism to dispatch those events occuring within your running mission, to the different objects orchestrating your mission.
-- 
-- ![Objects](..\Presentations\EVENT\Dia3.JPG)
-- 
-- Objects can subscribe to different events. The Event dispatcher will publish the received DCS events to the subscribed MOOSE objects, in a specified order.
-- In this way, the subscribed MOOSE objects are kept in sync with your evolving running mission.
-- 
-- ## 1. Event Dispatching
-- 
-- ![Objects](..\Presentations\EVENT\Dia4.JPG)
-- 
-- The _EVENTDISPATCHER object is automatically created within MOOSE, 
-- and handles the dispatching of DCS Events occurring 
-- in the simulator to the subscribed objects 
-- in the correct processing order.
--
-- ![Objects](..\Presentations\EVENT\Dia5.JPG)
-- 
-- There are 5 levels of kind of objects that the _EVENTDISPATCHER services:
-- 
--  * _DATABASE object: The core of the MOOSE objects. Any object that is created, deleted or updated, is done in this database.
--  * SET_ derived classes: Subsets of the _DATABASE object. These subsets are updated by the _EVENTDISPATCHER as the second priority.
--  * UNIT objects: UNIT objects can subscribe to DCS events. Each DCS event will be directly published to teh subscribed UNIT object.
--  * GROUP objects: GROUP objects can subscribe to DCS events. Each DCS event will be directly published to the subscribed GROUP object.
--  * Any other object: Various other objects can subscribe to DCS events. Each DCS event triggered will be published to each subscribed object.
-- 
-- ![Objects](..\Presentations\EVENT\Dia6.JPG)
-- 
-- For most DCS events, the above order of updating will be followed.
-- 
-- ![Objects](..\Presentations\EVENT\Dia7.JPG)
-- 
-- But for some DCS events, the publishing order is reversed. This is due to the fact that objects need to be **erased** instead of added.
-- 
-- # 2. Event Handling
-- 
-- ![Objects](..\Presentations\EVENT\Dia8.JPG)
-- 
-- The actual event subscribing and handling is not facilitated through the _EVENTDISPATCHER, but it is done through the @{BASE} class, @{UNIT} class and @{GROUP} class.
-- The _EVENTDISPATCHER is a component that is quietly working in the background of MOOSE.
-- 
-- ![Objects](..\Presentations\EVENT\Dia9.JPG)
-- 
-- The BASE class provides methods to catch DCS Events. These are events that are triggered from within the DCS simulator, 
-- and handled through lua scripting. MOOSE provides an encapsulation to handle these events more efficiently.
-- 
-- ## 2.1. Subscribe to / Unsubscribe from DCS Events.
-- 
-- At first, the mission designer will need to **Subscribe** to a specific DCS event for the class.
-- So, when the DCS event occurs, the class will be notified of that event.
-- There are two functions which you use to subscribe to or unsubscribe from an event.
-- 
--   * @{Core.Base#BASE.HandleEvent}(): Subscribe to a DCS Event.
--   * @{Core.Base#BASE.UnHandleEvent}(): Unsubscribe from a DCS Event.
--   
-- Note that for a UNIT, the event will be handled **for that UNIT only**!
-- Note that for a GROUP, the event will be handled **for all the UNITs in that GROUP only**!
-- 
-- For all objects of other classes, the subscribed events will be handled for **all UNITs within the Mission**!
-- So if a UNIT within the mission has the subscribed event for that object, 
-- then the object event handler will receive the event for that UNIT!
-- 
-- ## 2.2 Event Handling of DCS Events
-- 
-- Once the class is subscribed to the event, an **Event Handling** method on the object or class needs to be written that will be called
-- when the DCS event occurs. The Event Handling method receives an @{Core.Event#EVENTDATA} structure, which contains a lot of information
-- about the event that occurred.
-- 
-- Find below an example of the prototype how to write an event handling function for two units: 
--
--      local Tank1 = UNIT:FindByName( "Tank A" )
--      local Tank2 = UNIT:FindByName( "Tank B" )
--      
--      -- Here we subscribe to the Dead events. So, if one of these tanks dies, the Tank1 or Tank2 objects will be notified.
--      Tank1:HandleEvent( EVENTS.Dead )
--      Tank2:HandleEvent( EVENTS.Dead )
--      
--      --- This function is an Event Handling function that will be called when Tank1 is Dead.
--      -- @param Wrapper.Unit#UNIT self 
--      -- @param Core.Event#EVENTDATA EventData
--      function Tank1:OnEventDead( EventData )
--
--        self:SmokeGreen()
--      end
--
--      --- This function is an Event Handling function that will be called when Tank2 is Dead.
--      -- @param Wrapper.Unit#UNIT self 
--      -- @param Core.Event#EVENTDATA EventData
--      function Tank2:OnEventDead( EventData )
--
--        self:SmokeBlue()
--      end
-- 
-- ## 2.3 Event Handling methods that are automatically called upon subscribed DCS events.
-- 
-- ![Objects](..\Presentations\EVENT\Dia10.JPG)
-- 
-- The following list outlines which EVENTS item in the structure corresponds to which Event Handling method.
-- Always ensure that your event handling methods align with the events being subscribed to, or nothing will be executed.
-- 
-- # 3. EVENTS type
-- 
-- The EVENTS structure contains names for all the different DCS events that objects can subscribe to using the 
-- @{Core.Base#BASE.HandleEvent}() method.
-- 
-- # 4. EVENTDATA type
-- 
-- The @{Core.Event#EVENTDATA} structure contains all the fields that are populated with event information before 
-- an Event Handler method is being called by the event dispatcher.
-- The Event Handler received the EVENTDATA object as a parameter, and can be used to investigate further the different events.
-- There are basically 4 main categories of information stored in the EVENTDATA structure:
-- 
--    * Initiator Unit data: Several fields documenting the initiator unit related to the event.
--    * Target Unit data: Several fields documenting the target unit related to the event.
--    * Weapon data: Certain events populate weapon information.
--    * Place data: Certain events populate place information.
-- 
--      --- This function is an Event Handling function that will be called when Tank1 is Dead.
--      -- EventData is an EVENTDATA structure.
--      -- We use the EventData.IniUnit to smoke the tank Green.
--      -- @param Wrapper.Unit#UNIT self 
--      -- @param Core.Event#EVENTDATA EventData
--      function Tank1:OnEventDead( EventData )
--
--        EventData.IniUnit:SmokeGreen()
--      end
-- 
-- 
-- Find below an overview which events populate which information categories:
-- 
-- ![Objects](..\Presentations\EVENT\Dia14.JPG)
-- 
-- **IMPORTANT NOTE:** Some events can involve not just UNIT objects, but also STATIC objects!!! 
-- In that case the initiator or target unit fields will refer to a STATIC object!
-- In case a STATIC object is involved, the documentation indicates which fields will and won't not be populated.
-- The fields **IniObjectCategory** and **TgtObjectCategory** contain the indicator which **kind of object is involved** in the event.
-- You can use the enumerator **Object.Category.UNIT** and **Object.Category.STATIC** to check on IniObjectCategory and TgtObjectCategory.
-- Example code snippet:
--      
--      if Event.IniObjectCategory == Object.Category.UNIT then
--       ...
--      end
--      if Event.IniObjectCategory == Object.Category.STATIC then
--       ...
--      end 
-- 
-- When a static object is involved in the event, the Group and Player fields won't be populated.

-- The SETTINGS class takes care of various settings that influence the behaviour of certain functionalities and classes within the MOOSE framework.
-- SETTINGS can work on 2 levels:
-- 
--   - **Default settings**: A running mission has **Default settings**. 
--   - **Player settings**: For each player its own **Player settings** can be defined, overriding the **Default settings**.
-- 
-- So, when there isn't any **Player setting** defined for a player for a specific setting, or, the player cannot be identified, the **Default setting** will be used instead.
-- 
-- # 1) \_SETTINGS object
-- 
-- MOOSE defines by default a singleton object called **\_SETTINGS**. Use this object to modify all the **Default settings** for a running mission.
-- For each player, MOOSE will automatically allocate also a **player settings** object, and will expose a radio menu to allow the player to adapt the settings to his own preferences.
-- 
-- # 2) SETTINGS Menu
-- 
-- Settings can be adapted by the Players and by the Mission Administrator through **radio menus, which are automatically available in the mission**.
-- These menus can be found **on level F10 under "Settings"**. There are two kinds of menus generated by the system.
-- 
-- ## 2.1) Default settings menu
-- 
-- A menu is created automatically per Command Center that allows to modify the **Default** settings.
-- So, when joining a CC unit, a menu will be available that allows to change the settings parameters **FOR ALL THE PLAYERS**!
-- Note that the **Default settings** will only be used when a player has not choosen its own settings.
-- 
-- ## 2.2) Player settings menu
-- 
-- A menu is created automatically per Player Slot (group) that allows to modify the **Player** settings.
-- So, when joining a slot, a menu wil be available that allows to change the settings parameters **FOR THE PLAYER ONLY**!
-- Note that when a player has not chosen a specific setting, the **Default settings** will be used.
-- 
-- ## 2.3) Show or Hide the Player Setting menus
-- 
-- Of course, it may be requried not to show any setting menus. In this case, a method is available on the **\_SETTINGS object**.
-- Use @{#SETTINGS.SetPlayerMenuOff}() to hide the player menus, and use @{#SETTINGS.SetPlayerMenuOn}() show the player menus.
-- Note that when this method is used, any player already in a slot will not have its menus visibility changed.
-- The option will only have effect when a player enters a new slot or changes a slot. 
-- 
-- Example:
-- 
--      _SETTINGS:SetPlayerMenuOff() -- will disable the player menus.
--      _SETTINGS:SetPlayerMenuOn() -- will enable the player menus.
--      -- But only when a player exits and reenters the slot these settings will have effect!
-- 
-- 
-- # 3) Settings
-- 
-- There are different settings that are managed and applied within the MOOSE framework.
-- See below a comprehensive description of each.
-- 
-- ## 3.1) **A2G coordinates** display formatting
--

-- DCS Menus can be managed using the MENU classes. 
-- The advantage of using MENU classes is that it hides the complexity of dealing with menu management in more advanced scanerios where you need to 
-- set menus and later remove them, and later set them again. You'll find while using use normal DCS scripting functions, that setting and removing
-- menus is not a easy feat if you have complex menu hierarchies defined. 
-- Using the MOOSE menu classes, the removal and refreshing of menus are nicely being handled within these classes, and becomes much more easy.
-- On top, MOOSE implements **variable parameter** passing for command menus. 
-- 
-- There are basically two different MENU class types that you need to use:
-- 
-- ### To manage **main menus**, the classes begin with **MENU_**:
-- 
--   * @{Core.Menu#MENU_MISSION}: Manages main menus for whole mission file.
--   * @{Core.Menu#MENU_COALITION}: Manages main menus for whole coalition.
--   * @{Core.Menu#MENU_GROUP}: Manages main menus for GROUPs.
--   
-- ### To manage **command menus**, which are menus that allow the player to issue **functions**, the classes begin with **MENU_COMMAND_**:
--   
--   * @{Core.Menu#MENU_MISSION_COMMAND}: Manages command menus for whole mission file.
--   * @{Core.Menu#MENU_COALITION_COMMAND}: Manages command menus for whole coalition.
--   * @{Core.Menu#MENU_GROUP_COMMAND}: Manages command menus for GROUPs.

--- **Core** - Define zones within your mission of various forms, with various capabilities.
-- 
-- ===
-- 
-- ## Features:
-- 
--   * Create radius zones.
--   * Create trigger zones.
--   * Create polygon zones.
--   * Create moving zones around a unit.
--   * Create moving zones around a group.
--   * Provide the zone behaviour. Some zones are static, while others are moveable.
--   * Enquiry if a coordinate is within a zone.
--   * Smoke zones.
--   * Set a zone probability to control zone selection.
--   * Get zone coordinates.
--   * Get zone properties.
--   * Get zone bounding box.
--   * Set/get zone name.
--   
-- 
-- There are essentially two core functions that zones accomodate:
-- 
--   * Test if an object is within the zone boundaries.
--   * Provide the zone behaviour. Some zones are static, while others are moveable.
-- 
-- The object classes are using the zone classes to test the zone boundaries, which can take various forms:
--

--   * @{#ZONE.New}(): Constructor. This will search for a trigger zone with the name given, and will return for you a ZONE object.
--   
-- ## Declare a ZONE directly in the DCS mission editor!
-- 
-- You can declare a ZONE using the DCS mission editor by adding a trigger zone in the mission editor.
-- 
-- Then during mission startup, when loading Moose.lua, this trigger zone will be detected as a ZONE declaration.
-- Within the background, a ZONE object will be created within the @{Core.Database}.
-- The ZONE name will be the trigger zone name.
-- 
-- So, you can search yourself for the ZONE object by using the @{#ZONE.FindByName}() method.
-- In this example, `local TriggerZone = ZONE:FindByName( "DefenseZone" )` would return the ZONE object
-- that was created at mission startup, and reference it into the `TriggerZone` local object. 
-- 
-- Refer to mission `ZON-110` for a demonstration.
-- 
-- This is especially handy if you want to quickly setup a SET_ZONE...
-- So when you would declare `local SetZone = SET_ZONE:New():FilterPrefixes( "Defense" ):FilterStart()`,
-- then SetZone would contain the ZONE object `DefenseZone` as part of the zone collection,
-- without much scripting overhead!!!

--- @type ZONE_POLYGON
-- @extends #ZONE_POLYGON_BASE


--- The ZONE_POLYGON class defined by a sequence of @{Wrapper.Group#GROUP} waypoints within the Mission Editor, forming a polygon.
-- This class implements the inherited functions from @{Core.Zone#ZONE_RADIUS} taking into account the own zone format and properties.
-- 
-- ## Declare a ZONE_POLYGON directly in the DCS mission editor!
-- 
-- You can declare a ZONE_POLYGON using the DCS mission editor by adding the ~ZONE_POLYGON tag in the group name.
-- 
-- So, imagine you have a group declared in the mission editor, with group name `DefenseZone~ZONE_POLYGON`.
-- Then during mission startup, when loading Moose.lua, this group will be detected as a ZONE_POLYGON declaration.
-- Within the background, a ZONE_POLYGON object will be created within the @{Core.Database} using the properties of the group.
-- The ZONE_POLYGON name will be the group name without the ~ZONE_POLYGON tag.
-- 
-- So, you can search yourself for the ZONE_POLYGON by using the @{#ZONE_POLYGON.FindByName}() method.
-- In this example, `local PolygonZone = ZONE_POLYGON:FindByName( "DefenseZone" )` would return the ZONE_POLYGON object
-- that was created at mission startup, and reference it into the `PolygonZone` local object.
-- 
-- Mission `ZON-510` shows a demonstration of this feature or method.
-- 
-- This is especially handy if you want to quickly setup a SET_ZONE...
-- So when you would declare `local SetZone = SET_ZONE:New():FilterPrefixes( "Defense" ):FilterStart()`,
-- then SetZone would contain the ZONE_POLYGON object `DefenseZone` as part of the zone collection,
-- without much scripting overhead!!!

-- ===
-- 
-- Group objects or data of the same type into a collection, which is either:
-- 
--   * Manually managed using the **:Add...()** or **:Remove...()** methods. The initial SET can be filtered with the **@{#SET_BASE.FilterOnce}()** method.
--   * Dynamically updated when new objects are created or objects are destroyed using the **@{#SET_BASE.FilterStart}()** method.
--   
-- Various types of SET_ classes are available:
-- 
--   * @{#SET_GROUP}: Defines a collection of @{Wrapper.Group}s filtered by filter criteria.
--   * @{#SET_UNIT}: Defines a colleciton of @{Wrapper.Unit}s filtered by filter criteria.
--   * @{#SET_STATIC}: Defines a collection of @{Wrapper.Static}s filtered by filter criteria.
--   * @{#SET_CLIENT}: Defines a collection of @{Client}s filterd by filter criteria.
--   * @{#SET_AIRBASE}: Defines a collection of @{Wrapper.Airbase}s filtered by filter criteria.
--   * @{#SET_CARGO}: Defines a collection of @{Cargo.Cargo}s filtered by filter criteria.
--   * @{#SET_ZONE}: Defines a collection of @{Core.Zone}s filtered by filter criteria.
-- 
-- These classes are derived from @{#SET_BASE}, which contains the main methods to manage the collections.
-- 
-- A multitude of other methods are available in the individual set classes that allow to:
-- 
--   * Validate the presence of objects in the SET.
--   * Trigger events when objects in the SET change a zone presence.

  --- The @{Core.Set#SET_BASE} class defines the core functions that define a collection of objects.
  -- A SET provides iterators to iterate the SET, but will **temporarily** yield the ForEach interator loop at defined **"intervals"** to the mail simulator loop.
  -- In this way, large loops can be done while not blocking the simulator main processing loop.
  -- The default **"yield interval"** is after 10 objects processed.

do -- SET_GROUP

  --- @type SET_GROUP
  -- @extends Core.Set#SET_BASE
  
  --- Mission designers can use the @{Core.Set#SET_GROUP} class to build sets of groups belonging to certain:
  -- 
  --  * Coalitions
  --  * Categories
  --  * Countries
  --  * Starting with certain prefix strings.
  --  
  -- ## SET_GROUP constructor
  -- 
  -- Create a new SET_GROUP object with the @{#SET_GROUP.New} method:
  -- 
  --    * @{#SET_GROUP.New}: Creates a new SET_GROUP object.
  -- 
  -- ## Add or Remove GROUP(s) from SET_GROUP
  -- 
  -- GROUPS can be added and removed using the @{Core.Set#SET_GROUP.AddGroupsByName} and @{Core.Set#SET_GROUP.RemoveGroupsByName} respectively. 
  -- These methods take a single GROUP name or an array of GROUP names to be added or removed from SET_GROUP.
  -- 
  -- ## SET_GROUP filter criteria
  -- 
  -- You can set filter criteria to define the set of groups within the SET_GROUP.
  -- Filter criteria are defined by:
  -- 
  --    * @{#SET_GROUP.FilterCoalitions}: Builds the SET_GROUP with the groups belonging to the coalition(s).
  --    * @{#SET_GROUP.FilterCategories}: Builds the SET_GROUP with the groups belonging to the category(ies).
  --    * @{#SET_GROUP.FilterCountries}: Builds the SET_GROUP with the gruops belonging to the country(ies).
  --    * @{#SET_GROUP.FilterPrefixes}: Builds the SET_GROUP with the groups starting with the same prefix string(s).
  --    * @{#SET_GROUP.FilterActive}: Builds the SET_GROUP with the groups that are only active. Groups that are inactive (late activation) won't be included in the set!
  -- 
  -- For the Category Filter, extra methods have been added:
  -- 
  --    * @{#SET_GROUP.FilterCategoryAirplane}: Builds the SET_GROUP from airplanes.
  --    * @{#SET_GROUP.FilterCategoryHelicopter}: Builds the SET_GROUP from helicopters.
  --    * @{#SET_GROUP.FilterCategoryGround}: Builds the SET_GROUP from ground vehicles or infantry.
  --    * @{#SET_GROUP.FilterCategoryShip}: Builds the SET_GROUP from ships.
  --    * @{#SET_GROUP.FilterCategoryStructure}: Builds the SET_GROUP from structures.
  -- 
  --   
  -- Once the filter criteria have been set for the SET_GROUP, you can start filtering using:
  -- 
  --    * @{#SET_GROUP.FilterStart}: Starts the filtering of the groups within the SET_GROUP and add or remove GROUP objects **dynamically**.
  --    * @{#SET_GROUP.FilterOnce}: Filters of the groups **once**.
  -- 
  -- Planned filter criteria within development are (so these are not yet available):
  -- 
  --    * @{#SET_GROUP.FilterZones}: Builds the SET_GROUP with the groups within a @{Core.Zone#ZONE}.
  -- 
  -- ## SET_GROUP iterators
  -- 
  -- Once the filters have been defined and the SET_GROUP has been built, you can iterate the SET_GROUP with the available iterator methods.
  -- The iterator methods will walk the SET_GROUP set, and call for each element within the set a function that you provide.
  -- The following iterator methods are currently available within the SET_GROUP:
  -- 
  --   * @{#SET_GROUP.ForEachGroup}: Calls a function for each alive group it finds within the SET_GROUP.
  --   * @{#SET_GROUP.ForEachGroupCompletelyInZone}: Iterate the SET_GROUP and call an iterator function for each **alive** GROUP presence completely in a @{Zone}, providing the GROUP and optional parameters to the called function.
  --   * @{#SET_GROUP.ForEachGroupPartlyInZone}: Iterate the SET_GROUP and call an iterator function for each **alive** GROUP presence partly in a @{Zone}, providing the GROUP and optional parameters to the called function.
  --   * @{#SET_GROUP.ForEachGroupNotInZone}: Iterate the SET_GROUP and call an iterator function for each **alive** GROUP presence not in a @{Zone}, providing the GROUP and optional parameters to the called function.
  --
  --
  -- ## SET_GROUP trigger events on the GROUP objects.
  -- 
  -- The SET is derived from the FSM class, which provides extra capabilities to track the contents of the GROUP objects in the SET_GROUP.
  -- 
  -- ### When a GROUP object crashes or is dead, the SET_GROUP will trigger a **Dead** event.
  -- 
  -- You can handle the event using the OnBefore and OnAfter event handlers. 
  -- The event handlers need to have the paramters From, Event, To, GroupObject.
  -- The GroupObject is the GROUP object that is dead and within the SET_GROUP, and is passed as a parameter to the event handler.
  -- See the following example:
  -- 
  --        -- Create the SetCarrier SET_GROUP collection.
  --
  --        local SetHelicopter = SET_GROUP:New():FilterPrefixes( "Helicopter" ):FilterStart()
  -- 
  --        -- Put a Dead event handler on SetCarrier, to ensure that when a carrier is destroyed, that all internal parameters are reset.
  --
  --        function SetHelicopter:OnAfterDead( From, Event, To, GroupObject )
  --          self:F( { GroupObject = GroupObject:GetName() } )
  --        end
  -- 
  -- While this is a good example, there is a catch.
  -- Imageine you want to execute the code above, the the self would need to be from the object declared outside (above) the OnAfterDead method.
  -- So, the self would need to contain another object. Fortunately, this can be done, but you must use then the **`.`** notation for the method.
  -- See the modified example:
  -- 
  --        -- Now we have a constructor of the class AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER, that receives the SetHelicopter as a parameter.
  --        -- Within that constructor, we want to set an enclosed event handler OnAfterDead for SetHelicopter.
  --        -- But within the OnAfterDead method, we want to refer to the self variable of the AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER.
  -- 
  --        function AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER:New( SetCarrier, SetCargo, SetDeployZones )
  --         
  --          local self = BASE:Inherit( self, FSM:New() ) -- #AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER
  -- 
  --          -- Put a Dead event handler on SetCarrier, to ensure that when a carrier is destroyed, that all internal parameters are reset.
  --          -- Note the "." notation, and the explicit declaration of SetHelicopter, which would be using the ":" notation the implicit self variable declaration.
  --
  --          function SetHelicopter.OnAfterDead( SetHelicopter, From, Event, To, GroupObject )
  --            SetHelicopter:F( { GroupObject = GroupObject:GetName() } )
  --            self.PickupCargo[GroupObject] = nil  -- So here I clear the PickupCargo table entry of the self object AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER.
  --            self.CarrierHome[GroupObject] = nil

do -- SET_UNIT

  --- @type SET_UNIT
  -- @extends Core.Set#SET_BASE
  
  --- Mission designers can use the SET_UNIT class to build sets of units belonging to certain:
  -- 
  --  * Coalitions
  --  * Categories
  --  * Countries
  --  * Unit types
  --  * Starting with certain prefix strings.
  --  
  -- ## 1) SET_UNIT constructor
  --
  -- Create a new SET_UNIT object with the @{#SET_UNIT.New} method:
  -- 
  --    * @{#SET_UNIT.New}: Creates a new SET_UNIT object.
  --   
  -- ## 2) Add or Remove UNIT(s) from SET_UNIT
  --
  -- UNITs can be added and removed using the @{Core.Set#SET_UNIT.AddUnitsByName} and @{Core.Set#SET_UNIT.RemoveUnitsByName} respectively. 
  -- These methods take a single UNIT name or an array of UNIT names to be added or removed from SET_UNIT.
  -- 
  -- ## 3) SET_UNIT filter criteria
  -- 
  -- You can set filter criteria to define the set of units within the SET_UNIT.
  -- Filter criteria are defined by:
  -- 
  --    * @{#SET_UNIT.FilterCoalitions}: Builds the SET_UNIT with the units belonging to the coalition(s).
  --    * @{#SET_UNIT.FilterCategories}: Builds the SET_UNIT with the units belonging to the category(ies).
  --    * @{#SET_UNIT.FilterTypes}: Builds the SET_UNIT with the units belonging to the unit type(s).
  --    * @{#SET_UNIT.FilterCountries}: Builds the SET_UNIT with the units belonging to the country(ies).
  --    * @{#SET_UNIT.FilterPrefixes}: Builds the SET_UNIT with the units starting with the same prefix string(s).
  --    * @{#SET_UNIT.FilterActive}: Builds the SET_UNIT with the units that are only active. Units that are inactive (late activation) won't be included in the set!
  --   
  -- Once the filter criteria have been set for the SET_UNIT, you can start filtering using:
  -- 
  --   * @{#SET_UNIT.FilterStart}: Starts the filtering of the units **dynamically**.
  --   * @{#SET_UNIT.FilterOnce}: Filters of the units **once**.
  -- 
  -- Planned filter criteria within development are (so these are not yet available):
  -- 
  --    * @{#SET_UNIT.FilterZones}: Builds the SET_UNIT with the units within a @{Core.Zone#ZONE}.
  -- 
  -- ## 4) SET_UNIT iterators
  -- 
  -- Once the filters have been defined and the SET_UNIT has been built, you can iterate the SET_UNIT with the available iterator methods.
  -- The iterator methods will walk the SET_UNIT set, and call for each element within the set a function that you provide.
  -- The following iterator methods are currently available within the SET_UNIT:
  -- 
  --   * @{#SET_UNIT.ForEachUnit}: Calls a function for each alive unit it finds within the SET_UNIT.
  --   * @{#SET_UNIT.ForEachUnitInZone}: Iterate the SET_UNIT and call an iterator function for each **alive** UNIT object presence completely in a @{Zone}, providing the UNIT object and optional parameters to the called function.
  --   * @{#SET_UNIT.ForEachUnitNotInZone}: Iterate the SET_UNIT and call an iterator function for each **alive** UNIT object presence not in a @{Zone}, providing the UNIT object and optional parameters to the called function.
  --   
  -- Planned iterators methods in development are (so these are not yet available):
  -- 
  --   * @{#SET_UNIT.ForEachUnitInUnit}: Calls a function for each unit contained within the SET_UNIT.
  --   * @{#SET_UNIT.ForEachUnitCompletelyInZone}: Iterate and call an iterator function for each **alive** UNIT presence completely in a @{Zone}, providing the UNIT and optional parameters to the called function.
  --   * @{#SET_UNIT.ForEachUnitNotInZone}: Iterate and call an iterator function for each **alive** UNIT presence not in a @{Zone}, providing the UNIT and optional parameters to the called function.
  -- 
  -- ## 5) SET_UNIT atomic methods
  -- 
  -- Various methods exist for a SET_UNIT to perform actions or calculations and retrieve results from the SET_UNIT:
  -- 
  --   * @{#SET_UNIT.GetTypeNames}(): Retrieve the type names of the @{Wrapper.Unit}s in the SET, delimited by a comma.
  -- 
  -- ## 6) SET_UNIT trigger events on the UNIT objects.
  -- 
  -- The SET is derived from the FSM class, which provides extra capabilities to track the contents of the UNIT objects in the SET_UNIT.
  -- 
  -- ### 6.1) When a UNIT object crashes or is dead, the SET_UNIT will trigger a **Dead** event.
  -- 
  -- You can handle the event using the OnBefore and OnAfter event handlers. 
  -- The event handlers need to have the paramters From, Event, To, GroupObject.
  -- The GroupObject is the UNIT object that is dead and within the SET_UNIT, and is passed as a parameter to the event handler.
  -- See the following example:
  -- 
  --        -- Create the SetCarrier SET_UNIT collection.
  --
  --        local SetHelicopter = SET_UNIT:New():FilterPrefixes( "Helicopter" ):FilterStart()
  -- 
  --        -- Put a Dead event handler on SetCarrier, to ensure that when a carrier unit is destroyed, that all internal parameters are reset.
  --
  --        function SetHelicopter:OnAfterDead( From, Event, To, UnitObject )
  --          self:F( { UnitObject = UnitObject:GetName() } )
  --        end
  -- 
  -- While this is a good example, there is a catch.
  -- Imageine you want to execute the code above, the the self would need to be from the object declared outside (above) the OnAfterDead method.
  -- So, the self would need to contain another object. Fortunately, this can be done, but you must use then the **`.`** notation for the method.
  -- See the modified example:
  -- 
  --        -- Now we have a constructor of the class AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER, that receives the SetHelicopter as a parameter.
  --        -- Within that constructor, we want to set an enclosed event handler OnAfterDead for SetHelicopter.
  --        -- But within the OnAfterDead method, we want to refer to the self variable of the AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER.
  -- 
  --        function ACLASS:New( SetCarrier, SetCargo, SetDeployZones )
  --         
  --          local self = BASE:Inherit( self, FSM:New() ) -- #AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER
  -- 
  --          -- Put a Dead event handler on SetCarrier, to ensure that when a carrier is destroyed, that all internal parameters are reset.
  --          -- Note the "." notation, and the explicit declaration of SetHelicopter, which would be using the ":" notation the implicit self variable declaration.
  --
  --          function SetHelicopter.OnAfterDead( SetHelicopter, From, Event, To, UnitObject )
  --            SetHelicopter:F( { UnitObject = UnitObject:GetName() } )
  --            self.array[UnitObject] = nil  -- So here I clear the array table entry of the self object ACLASS.
  --          end

do -- SET_STATIC

  --- @type SET_STATIC
  -- @extends Core.Set#SET_BASE
  
  --- Mission designers can use the SET_STATIC class to build sets of Statics belonging to certain:
  -- 
  --  * Coalitions
  --  * Categories
  --  * Countries
  --  * Static types
  --  * Starting with certain prefix strings.
  --  
  -- ## SET_STATIC constructor
  --
  -- Create a new SET_STATIC object with the @{#SET_STATIC.New} method:
  -- 
  --    * @{#SET_STATIC.New}: Creates a new SET_STATIC object.
  --   
  -- ## Add or Remove STATIC(s) from SET_STATIC
  --
  -- STATICs can be added and removed using the @{Core.Set#SET_STATIC.AddStaticsByName} and @{Core.Set#SET_STATIC.RemoveStaticsByName} respectively. 
  -- These methods take a single STATIC name or an array of STATIC names to be added or removed from SET_STATIC.
  -- 
  -- ## SET_STATIC filter criteria
  -- 
  -- You can set filter criteria to define the set of units within the SET_STATIC.
  -- Filter criteria are defined by:
  -- 
  --    * @{#SET_STATIC.FilterCoalitions}: Builds the SET_STATIC with the units belonging to the coalition(s).
  --    * @{#SET_STATIC.FilterCategories}: Builds the SET_STATIC with the units belonging to the category(ies).
  --    * @{#SET_STATIC.FilterTypes}: Builds the SET_STATIC with the units belonging to the unit type(s).
  --    * @{#SET_STATIC.FilterCountries}: Builds the SET_STATIC with the units belonging to the country(ies).
  --    * @{#SET_STATIC.FilterPrefixes}: Builds the SET_STATIC with the units starting with the same prefix string(s).
  --   
  -- Once the filter criteria have been set for the SET_STATIC, you can start filtering using:
  -- 
  --   * @{#SET_STATIC.FilterStart}: Starts the filtering of the units within the SET_STATIC.
  -- 
  -- Planned filter criteria within development are (so these are not yet available):
  -- 
  --    * @{#SET_STATIC.FilterZones}: Builds the SET_STATIC with the units within a @{Core.Zone#ZONE}.
  -- 
  -- ## SET_STATIC iterators
  -- 
  -- Once the filters have been defined and the SET_STATIC has been built, you can iterate the SET_STATIC with the available iterator methods.
  -- The iterator methods will walk the SET_STATIC set, and call for each element within the set a function that you provide.
  -- The following iterator methods are currently available within the SET_STATIC:
  -- 
  --   * @{#SET_STATIC.ForEachStatic}: Calls a function for each alive unit it finds within the SET_STATIC.
  --   * @{#SET_GROUP.ForEachGroupCompletelyInZone}: Iterate the SET_GROUP and call an iterator function for each **alive** GROUP presence completely in a @{Zone}, providing the GROUP and optional parameters to the called function.
  --   * @{#SET_GROUP.ForEachGroupNotInZone}: Iterate the SET_GROUP and call an iterator function for each **alive** GROUP presence not in a @{Zone}, providing the GROUP and optional parameters to the called function.
  --   
  -- Planned iterators methods in development are (so these are not yet available):
  -- 
  --   * @{#SET_STATIC.ForEachStaticInZone}: Calls a function for each unit contained within the SET_STATIC.
  --   * @{#SET_STATIC.ForEachStaticCompletelyInZone}: Iterate and call an iterator function for each **alive** STATIC presence completely in a @{Zone}, providing the STATIC and optional parameters to the called function.
  --   * @{#SET_STATIC.ForEachStaticNotInZone}: Iterate and call an iterator function for each **alive** STATIC presence not in a @{Zone}, providing the STATIC and optional parameters to the called function.
  -- 
  -- ## SET_STATIC atomic methods
  -- 
  -- Various methods exist for a SET_STATIC to perform actions or calculations and retrieve results from the SET_STATIC:
  -- 
  --   * @{#SET_STATIC.GetTypeNames}(): Retrieve the type names of the @{Static}s in the SET, delimited by a comma.

do -- SET_CLIENT


  --- @type SET_CLIENT
  -- @extends Core.Set#SET_BASE
  
  
  
  --- Mission designers can use the @{Core.Set#SET_CLIENT} class to build sets of units belonging to certain:
  -- 
  --  * Coalitions
  --  * Categories
  --  * Countries
  --  * Client types
  --  * Starting with certain prefix strings.
  --  
  -- ## 1) SET_CLIENT constructor
  -- 
  -- Create a new SET_CLIENT object with the @{#SET_CLIENT.New} method:
  -- 
  --    * @{#SET_CLIENT.New}: Creates a new SET_CLIENT object.
  --   
  -- ## 2) Add or Remove CLIENT(s) from SET_CLIENT 
  -- 
  -- CLIENTs can be added and removed using the @{Core.Set#SET_CLIENT.AddClientsByName} and @{Core.Set#SET_CLIENT.RemoveClientsByName} respectively. 
  -- These methods take a single CLIENT name or an array of CLIENT names to be added or removed from SET_CLIENT.
  -- 
  -- ## 3) SET_CLIENT filter criteria
  -- 
  -- You can set filter criteria to define the set of clients within the SET_CLIENT.
  -- Filter criteria are defined by:
  -- 
  --    * @{#SET_CLIENT.FilterCoalitions}: Builds the SET_CLIENT with the clients belonging to the coalition(s).
  --    * @{#SET_CLIENT.FilterCategories}: Builds the SET_CLIENT with the clients belonging to the category(ies).
  --    * @{#SET_CLIENT.FilterTypes}: Builds the SET_CLIENT with the clients belonging to the client type(s).
  --    * @{#SET_CLIENT.FilterCountries}: Builds the SET_CLIENT with the clients belonging to the country(ies).
  --    * @{#SET_CLIENT.FilterPrefixes}: Builds the SET_CLIENT with the clients starting with the same prefix string(s).
  --    * @{#SET_CLIENT.FilterActive}: Builds the SET_CLIENT with the units that are only active. Units that are inactive (late activation) won't be included in the set!
  --   
  -- Once the filter criteria have been set for the SET_CLIENT, you can start filtering using:
  -- 
  --   * @{#SET_CLIENT.FilterStart}: Starts the filtering of the clients **dynamically**.
  --   * @{#SET_CLIENT.FilterOnce}: Filters the clients **once**.
  -- 
  -- Planned filter criteria within development are (so these are not yet available):
  -- 
  --    * @{#SET_CLIENT.FilterZones}: Builds the SET_CLIENT with the clients within a @{Core.Zone#ZONE}.
  -- 
  -- ## 4) SET_CLIENT iterators
  -- 
  -- Once the filters have been defined and the SET_CLIENT has been built, you can iterate the SET_CLIENT with the available iterator methods.
  -- The iterator methods will walk the SET_CLIENT set, and call for each element within the set a function that you provide.
  -- The following iterator methods are currently available within the SET_CLIENT:
  -- 
  --   * @{#SET_CLIENT.ForEachClient}: Calls a function for each alive client it finds within the SET_CLIENT.

  -- 
  -- Important for ground vehicle transportation and movement, the method @{#COORDINATE.GetClosestPointToRoad}() will calculate
  -- the closest point on the nearest road.
  -- 
  -- In order to use the most optimal road system to transport vehicles, the method @{#COORDINATE.GetPathOnRoad}() will calculate
  -- the most optimal path following the road between two coordinates.

  --
  --
  --
  --
  -- ## 8) Metric or imperial system
  --
  --   * @{#COORDINATE.IsMetric}(): Returns if the 3D point is Metric or Nautical Miles.
  --   * @{#COORDINATE.SetMetric}(): Sets the 3D point to Metric or Nautical Miles.
  --
  --
  -- ## 9) Coordinate text generation
  --

  --
  -- **Important Note:** Most of the functions in this section were taken from MIST, and reworked to OO concepts.
  -- In order to keep the credibility of the the author,
  -- I want to emphasize that the formulas embedded in the MIST framework were created by Grimes or previous authors,

  --
  --
  -- ## POINT_VEC3 constructor
  --
  -- A new POINT_VEC3 object can be created with:
  --
  --  * @{#POINT_VEC3.New}(): a 3D point.
  --  * @{#POINT_VEC3.NewFromVec3}(): a 3D point created from a @{DCS#Vec3}.
  --
  --
  -- ## Manupulate the X, Y, Z coordinates of the POINT_VEC3
  --
  -- A POINT_VEC3 class works in 3D space. It contains internally an X, Y, Z coordinate.
  -- Methods exist to manupulate these coordinates.
  --
  -- The current X, Y, Z axis can be retrieved with the methods @{#POINT_VEC3.GetX}(), @{#POINT_VEC3.GetY}(), @{#POINT_VEC3.GetZ}() respectively.
  -- The methods @{#POINT_VEC3.SetX}(), @{#POINT_VEC3.SetY}(), @{#POINT_VEC3.SetZ}() change the respective axis with a new value.
  -- The current axis values can be changed by using the methods @{#POINT_VEC3.AddX}(), @{#POINT_VEC3.AddY}(), @{#POINT_VEC3.AddZ}()
  -- to add or substract a value from the current respective axis value.
  -- Note that the Set and Add methods return the current POINT_VEC3 object, so these manipulation methods can be chained... For example:
  --
  --      local Vec3 = PointVec3:AddX( 100 ):AddZ( 150 ):GetVec3()
  --
  --
  -- ## 3D calculation methods
  --
  -- Various calculation methods exist to use or manipulate 3D space. Find below a short description of each method:
  --
  --
  -- ## Point Randomization
  --
  -- Various methods exist to calculate random locations around a given 3D point.
  --
  --   * @{#POINT_VEC3.GetRandomPointVec3InRadius}(): Provides a random 3D point around the current 3D point, in the given inner to outer band.

  -- @field DCS#Distance y the y coordinate in meters.
  -- @extends Core.Point#COORDINATE
  
  --- Defines a 2D point in the simulator. The height coordinate (if needed) will be the land height + an optional added height specified.
  --
  -- ## POINT_VEC2 constructor
  --
  -- A new POINT_VEC2 instance can be created with:
  --
  --  * @{Core.Point#POINT_VEC2.New}(): a 2D point, taking an additional height parameter.
  --  * @{Core.Point#POINT_VEC2.NewFromVec2}(): a 2D point created from a @{DCS#Vec2}.
  --
  -- ## Manupulate the X, Altitude, Y coordinates of the 2D point
  --
  -- A POINT_VEC2 class works in 2D space, with an altitude setting. It contains internally an X, Altitude, Y coordinate.
  -- Methods exist to manupulate these coordinates.
  --
  -- The current X, Altitude, Y axis can be retrieved with the methods @{#POINT_VEC2.GetX}(), @{#POINT_VEC2.GetAlt}(), @{#POINT_VEC2.GetY}() respectively.
  -- The methods @{#POINT_VEC2.SetX}(), @{#POINT_VEC2.SetAlt}(), @{#POINT_VEC2.SetY}() change the respective axis with a new value.
  -- The current Lat(itude), Alt(itude), Lon(gitude) values can also be retrieved with the methods @{#POINT_VEC2.GetLat}(), @{#POINT_VEC2.GetAlt}(), @{#POINT_VEC2.GetLon}() respectively.
  -- The current axis values can be changed by using the methods @{#POINT_VEC2.AddX}(), @{#POINT_VEC2.AddAlt}(), @{#POINT_VEC2.AddY}()
  -- to add or substract a value from the current respective axis value.
  -- Note that the Set and Add methods return the current POINT_VEC2 object, so these manipulation methods can be chained... For example:
  --

--- **Core** - FSM (Finite State Machine) are objects that model and control long lasting business processes and workflow.
-- 
-- ===
-- 
-- ## Features:
-- 
--   * Provide a base class to model your own state machines.
--   * Trigger events synchronously.
--   * Trigger events asynchronously.
--   * Handle events before or after the event was triggered.
--   * Handle state transitions as a result of event before and after the state change.
--   * For internal moose purposes, further state machines have been designed:
--     - to handle controllables (groups and units).
--     - to handle tasks.
--     - to handle processes.
-- 
-- ===
-- 
-- A Finite State Machine (FSM) models a process flow that transitions between various **States** through triggered **Events**.
-- 
-- A FSM can only be in one of a finite number of states. 
-- The machine is in only one state at a time; the state it is in at any given time is called the **current state**. 
-- It can change from one state to another when initiated by an **__internal__ or __external__ triggering event**, which is called a **transition**. 
-- An **FSM implementation** is defined by **a list of its states**, **its initial state**, and **the triggering events** for **each possible transition**.
-- An FSM implementation is composed out of **two parts**, a set of **state transition rules**, and an implementation set of **state transition handlers**, implementing those transitions.
-- 
-- The FSM class supports a **hierarchical implementation of a Finite State Machine**, 
-- that is, it allows to **embed existing FSM implementations in a master FSM**.
-- FSM hierarchies allow for efficient FSM re-use, **not having to re-invent the wheel every time again** when designing complex processes.
-- 
-- ![Workflow Example](..\Presentations\FSM\Dia2.JPG)
-- 
-- The above diagram shows a graphical representation of a FSM implementation for a **Task**, which guides a Human towards a Zone,
-- orders him to destroy x targets and account the results.
-- Other examples of ready made FSM could be: 
-- 
--   * route a plane to a zone flown by a human
--   * detect targets by an AI and report to humans
--   * account for destroyed targets by human players
--   * handle AI infantry to deploy from or embark to a helicopter or airplane or vehicle 
--   * let an AI patrol a zone
-- 
-- The **MOOSE framework** uses extensively the FSM class and derived FSM\_ classes, 
-- because **the goal of MOOSE is to simplify mission design complexity for mission building**.
-- By efficiently utilizing the FSM class and derived classes, MOOSE allows mission designers to quickly build processes.
-- **Ready made FSM-based implementations classes** exist within the MOOSE framework that **can easily be re-used, 
-- and tailored** by mission designers through **the implementation of Transition Handlers**.
-- Each of these FSM implementation classes start either with:
-- 
--   * an acronym **AI\_**, which indicates an FSM implementation directing **AI controlled** @{GROUP} and/or @{UNIT}. These AI\_ classes derive the @{#FSM_CONTROLLABLE} class.
--   * an acronym **TASK\_**, which indicates an FSM implementation executing a @{TASK} executed by Groups of players. These TASK\_ classes derive the @{#FSM_TASK} class.
--   * an acronym **ACT\_**, which indicates an Sub-FSM implementation, directing **Humans actions** that need to be done in a @{TASK}, seated in a @{CLIENT} (slot) or a @{UNIT} (CA join). These ACT\_ classes derive the @{#FSM_PROCESS} class.
-- 
-- Detailed explanations and API specifics are further below clarified and FSM derived class specifics are described in those class documentation sections.
-- 
-- ##__Dislaimer:__
-- The FSM class development is based on a finite state machine implementation made by Conroy Kyle.
-- The state machine can be found on [github](https://github.com/kyleconroy/lua-state-machine)
-- I've reworked this development (taken the concept), and created a **hierarchical state machine** out of it, embedded within the DCS simulator.
-- Additionally, I've added extendability and created an API that allows seamless FSM implementation.
-- 
-- The following derived classes are available in the MOOSE framework, that implement a specialised form of a FSM:
-- 
--   * @{#FSM_TASK}: Models Finite State Machines for @{Task}s.
--   * @{#FSM_PROCESS}: Models Finite State Machines for @{Task} actions, which control @{Client}s.
--   * @{#FSM_CONTROLLABLE}: Models Finite State Machines for @{Wrapper.Controllable}s, which are @{Wrapper.Group}s, @{Wrapper.Unit}s, @{Client}s.
--   * @{#FSM_SET}: Models Finite State Machines for @{Set}s. Note that these FSMs control multiple objects!!! So State concerns here
--     for multiple objects or the position of the state machine in the process.

  -- 
  -- ![Transition Rules and Transition Handlers and Event Triggers](..\Presentations\FSM\Dia3.JPG)
  -- 
  -- The FSM class is the base class of all FSM\_ derived classes. It implements the main functionality to define and execute Finite State Machines.
  -- The derived FSM\_ classes extend the Finite State Machine functionality to run a workflow process for a specific purpose or component.
  -- 
  -- Finite State Machines have **Transition Rules**, **Transition Handlers** and **Event Triggers**.
  -- 
  -- The **Transition Rules** define the "Process Flow Boundaries", that is, 
  -- the path that can be followed hopping from state to state upon triggered events.
  -- If an event is triggered, and there is no valid path found for that event, 
  -- an error will be raised and the FSM will stop functioning.
  -- 
  -- The **Transition Handlers** are special methods that can be defined by the mission designer, following a defined syntax.
  -- If the FSM object finds a method of such a handler, then the method will be called by the FSM, passing specific parameters.
  -- The method can then define its own custom logic to implement the FSM workflow, and to conduct other actions.
  -- 
  -- The **Event Triggers** are methods that are defined by the FSM, which the mission designer can use to implement the workflow.
  -- Most of the time, these Event Triggers are used within the Transition Handler methods, so that a workflow is created running through the state machine.
  -- 
  -- As explained above, a FSM supports **Linear State Transitions** and **Hierarchical State Transitions**, and both can be mixed to make a comprehensive FSM implementation.
  -- The below documentation has a seperate chapter explaining both transition modes, taking into account the **Transition Rules**, **Transition Handlers** and **Event Triggers**.
  -- 
  -- ## FSM Linear Transitions
  -- 
  -- Linear Transitions are Transition Rules allowing an FSM to transition from one or multiple possible **From** state(s) towards a **To** state upon a Triggered **Event**.
  -- The Lineair transition rule evaluation will always be done from the **current state** of the FSM.
  -- If no valid Transition Rule can be found in the FSM, the FSM will log an error and stop.
  -- 
  -- ### FSM Transition Rules
  -- 
  -- The FSM has transition rules that it follows and validates, as it walks the process. 
  -- These rules define when an FSM can transition from a specific state towards an other specific state upon a triggered event.
  -- 
  -- The method @{#FSM.AddTransition}() specifies a new possible Transition Rule for the FSM. 
  -- 
  -- The initial state can be defined using the method @{#FSM.SetStartState}(). The default start state of an FSM is "None".
  -- 
  -- Find below an example of a Linear Transition Rule definition for an FSM.
  -- 
  --      local Fsm3Switch = FSM:New() -- #FsmDemo
  --      FsmSwitch:SetStartState( "Off" )
  --      FsmSwitch:AddTransition( "Off", "SwitchOn", "On" )
  --      FsmSwitch:AddTransition( "Off", "SwitchMiddle", "Middle" )
  --      FsmSwitch:AddTransition( "On", "SwitchOff", "Off" )
  --      FsmSwitch:AddTransition( "Middle", "SwitchOff", "Off" )
  -- 
  -- The above code snippet models a 3-way switch Linear Transition:
  -- 
  --    * It can be switched **On** by triggering event **SwitchOn**.
  --    * It can be switched to the **Middle** position, by triggering event **SwitchMiddle**.
  --    * It can be switched **Off** by triggering event **SwitchOff**.
  --    * Note that once the Switch is **On** or **Middle**, it can only be switched **Off**.
  -- 
  -- #### Some additional comments:
  -- 
  -- Note that Linear Transition Rules **can be declared in a few variations**:
  -- 
  --    * The From states can be **a table of strings**, indicating that the transition rule will be valid **if the current state** of the FSM will be **one of the given From states**.
  --    * The From state can be a **"*"**, indicating that **the transition rule will always be valid**, regardless of the current state of the FSM.
  --   
  -- The below code snippet shows how the two last lines can be rewritten and consensed.
  -- 
  --      FsmSwitch:AddTransition( { "On",  "Middle" }, "SwitchOff", "Off" )
  -- 
  -- ### Transition Handling
  -- 
  -- ![Transition Handlers](..\Presentations\FSM\Dia4.JPG)
  -- 
  -- An FSM transitions in **4 moments** when an Event is being triggered and processed.  
  -- The mission designer can define for each moment specific logic within methods implementations following a defined API syntax.  
  -- These methods define the flow of the FSM process; because in those methods the FSM Internal Events will be triggered.
  --
  --    * To handle **State** transition moments, create methods starting with OnLeave or OnEnter concatenated with the State name.
  --    * To handle **Event** transition moments, create methods starting with OnBefore or OnAfter concatenated with the Event name.
  -- 
  -- **The OnLeave and OnBefore transition methods may return false, which will cancel the transition!**
  -- 
  -- Transition Handler methods need to follow the above specified naming convention, but are also passed parameters from the FSM.
  -- These parameters are on the correct order: From, Event, To:
  -- 
  --    * From = A string containing the From state.
  --    * Event = A string containing the Event name that was triggered.
  --    * To = A string containing the To state.
  -- 
  -- On top, each of these methods can have a variable amount of parameters passed. See the example in section [1.1.3](#1.1.3\)-event-triggers).
  -- 
  -- ### Event Triggers
  -- 
  -- ![Event Triggers](..\Presentations\FSM\Dia5.JPG)
  -- 
  -- The FSM creates for each Event two **Event Trigger methods**.  
  -- There are two modes how Events can be triggered, which is **synchronous** and **asynchronous**:
  -- 
  --    * The method **FSM:Event()** triggers an Event that will be processed **synchronously** or **immediately**.
  --    * The method **FSM:__Event( __seconds__ )** triggers an Event that will be processed **asynchronously** over time, waiting __x seconds__.
  -- 
  -- The destinction between these 2 Event Trigger methods are important to understand. An asynchronous call will "log" the Event Trigger to be executed at a later time.
  -- Processing will just continue. Synchronous Event Trigger methods are useful to change states of the FSM immediately, but may have a larger processing impact.
  -- 
  -- The following example provides a little demonstration on the difference between synchronous and asynchronous Event Triggering.
  -- 
  --       function FSM:OnAfterEvent( From, Event, To, Amount )
  --         self:T( { Amount = Amount } ) 
  --       end
  --       
  --       local Amount = 1
  --       FSM:__Event( 5, Amount ) 
  --       
  --       Amount = Amount + 1
  --       FSM:Event( Text, Amount )
  --       
  -- In this example, the **:OnAfterEvent**() Transition Handler implementation will get called when **Event** is being triggered.
  -- Before we go into more detail, let's look at the last 4 lines of the example. 
  -- The last line triggers synchronously the **Event**, and passes Amount as a parameter.
  -- The 3rd last line of the example triggers asynchronously **Event**. 
  -- Event will be processed after 5 seconds, and Amount is given as a parameter.
  -- 
  -- The output of this little code fragment will be:
  -- 
  --    * Amount = 2
  --    * Amount = 2
  -- 
  -- Because ... When Event was asynchronously processed after 5 seconds, Amount was set to 2. So be careful when processing and passing values and objects in asynchronous processing!
  -- 
  -- ### Linear Transition Example
  -- 
  -- This example is fully implemented in the MOOSE test mission on GITHUB: [FSM-100 - Transition Explanation](https://github.com/FlightControl-Master/MOOSE/blob/master/Moose%20Test%20Missions/FSM%20-%20Finite%20State%20Machine/FSM-100%20-%20Transition%20Explanation/FSM-100%20-%20Transition%20Explanation.lua)
  -- 
  -- It models a unit standing still near Batumi, and flaring every 5 seconds while switching between a Green flare and a Red flare.
  -- The purpose of this example is not to show how exciting flaring is, but it demonstrates how a Linear Transition FSM can be build.
  -- Have a look at the source code. The source code is also further explained below in this section.
  -- 
  -- The example creates a new FsmDemo object from class FSM.
  -- It will set the start state of FsmDemo to state **Green**.
  -- Two Linear Transition Rules are created, where upon the event **Switch**,
  -- the FsmDemo will transition from state **Green** to **Red** and from **Red** back to **Green**.
  -- 
  -- ![Transition Example](..\Presentations\FSM\Dia6.JPG)
  -- 
  --      local FsmDemo = FSM:New() -- #FsmDemo
  --      FsmDemo:SetStartState( "Green" )
  --      FsmDemo:AddTransition( "Green", "Switch", "Red" )
  --      FsmDemo:AddTransition( "Red", "Switch", "Green" )
  -- 
  -- In the above example, the FsmDemo could flare every 5 seconds a Green or a Red flare into the air.
  -- The next code implements this through the event handling method **OnAfterSwitch**.
  -- 
  -- ![Transition Flow](..\Presentations\FSM\Dia7.JPG)
  -- 
  --      function FsmDemo:OnAfterSwitch( From, Event, To, FsmUnit )
  --        self:T( { From, Event, To, FsmUnit } )
  --        
  --        if From == "Green" then
  --          FsmUnit:Flare(FLARECOLOR.Green)
  --        else
  --          if From == "Red" then
  --            FsmUnit:Flare(FLARECOLOR.Red)
  --          end
  --        end
  --        self:__Switch( 5, FsmUnit ) -- Trigger the next Switch event to happen in 5 seconds.
  --      end
  --      
  --      FsmDemo:__Switch( 5, FsmUnit ) -- Trigger the first Switch event to happen in 5 seconds.
  -- 
  -- The OnAfterSwitch implements a loop. The last line of the code fragment triggers the Switch Event within 5 seconds.
  -- Upon the event execution (after 5 seconds), the OnAfterSwitch method is called of FsmDemo (cfr. the double point notation!!! ":").
  -- The OnAfterSwitch method receives from the FSM the 3 transition parameter details ( From, Event, To ), 
  -- and one additional parameter that was given when the event was triggered, which is in this case the Unit that is used within OnSwitchAfter.
  -- 
  --      function FsmDemo:OnAfterSwitch( From, Event, To, FsmUnit )
  -- 
  -- For debugging reasons the received parameters are traced within the DCS.log.
  -- 
  --         self:T( { From, Event, To, FsmUnit } )
  -- 
  -- The method will check if the From state received is either "Green" or "Red" and will flare the respective color from the FsmUnit.
  -- 
  --        if From == "Green" then
  --          FsmUnit:Flare(FLARECOLOR.Green)
  --        else
  --          if From == "Red" then
  --            FsmUnit:Flare(FLARECOLOR.Red)
  --          end
  --        end
  -- 
  -- It is important that the Switch event is again triggered, otherwise, the FsmDemo would stop working after having the first Event being handled.
  -- 
  --        FsmDemo:__Switch( 5, FsmUnit ) -- Trigger the next Switch event to happen in 5 seconds.
  -- 
  -- The below code fragment extends the FsmDemo, demonstrating multiple **From states declared as a table**, adding a **Linear Transition Rule**.
  -- The new event **Stop** will cancel the Switching process.
  -- The transition for event Stop can be executed if the current state of the FSM is either "Red" or "Green".
  -- 
  --      local FsmDemo = FSM:New() -- #FsmDemo
  --      FsmDemo:SetStartState( "Green" )
  --      FsmDemo:AddTransition( "Green", "Switch", "Red" )
  --      FsmDemo:AddTransition( "Red", "Switch", "Green" )
  --      FsmDemo:AddTransition( { "Red", "Green" }, "Stop", "Stopped" )
  -- 
  -- The transition for event Stop can also be simplified, as any current state of the FSM is valid.
  -- 
  --      FsmDemo:AddTransition( "*", "Stop", "Stopped" )
  --      
  -- So... When FsmDemo:Stop() is being triggered, the state of FsmDemo will transition from Red or Green to Stopped.
  -- And there is no transition handling method defined for that transition, thus, no new event is being triggered causing the FsmDemo process flow to halt.
  -- 
  -- ## FSM Hierarchical Transitions
  -- 
  -- Hierarchical Transitions allow to re-use readily available and implemented FSMs.
  -- This becomes in very useful for mission building, where mission designers build complex processes and workflows, 
  -- combining smaller FSMs to one single FSM.
  -- 
  -- The FSM can embed **Sub-FSMs** that will execute and return **multiple possible Return (End) States**.  
  -- Depending upon **which state is returned**, the main FSM can continue the flow **triggering specific events**.
  -- 
  -- The method @{#FSM.AddProcess}() adds a new Sub-FSM to the FSM.  
  --
  -- ===
  -- 
  -- @field #FSM
  -- 
  FSM = {
    ClassName = "FSM",
  }
  
  --- Creates a new FSM object.
  -- @param #FSM self
  -- @return #FSM
  function FSM:New()

--- **Core** - Is responsible for everything that is related to radio transmission and you can hear in DCS, be it TACAN beacons, Radio transmissions.
-- 
-- ===
-- 
-- ## Features:
-- 
--   * Provide radio functionality to broadcast radio transmissions.
--   * Provide beacon functionality to assist pilots.
--
-- The Radio contains 2 classes : RADIO and BEACON
--  
-- What are radio communications in DCS?
-- 
--   * Radio transmissions consist of **sound files** that are broadcasted on a specific **frequency** (e.g. 115MHz) and **modulation** (e.g. AM),
--   * They can be **subtitled** for a specific **duration**, the **power** in Watts of the transmiter's antenna can be set, and the transmission can be **looped**.
-- 
-- How to supply DCS my own Sound Files?
--   
--   * Your sound files need to be encoded in **.ogg** or .wav,
--   * Your sound files should be **as tiny as possible**. It is suggested you encode in .ogg with low bitrate and sampling settings,
--   * They need to be added in .\l10n\DEFAULT\ in you .miz file (wich can be decompressed like a .zip file),
--   * For simplicity sake, you can **let DCS' Mission Editor add the file** itself, by creating a new Trigger with the action "Sound to Country", and choosing your sound file and a country you don't use in your mission.
--   
-- Due to weird DCS quirks, **radio communications behave differently** if sent by a @{Wrapper.Unit#UNIT} or a @{Wrapper.Group#GROUP} or by any other @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE}
-- 
--   * If the transmitter is a @{Wrapper.Unit#UNIT} or a @{Wrapper.Group#GROUP}, DCS will set the power of the transmission automatically,
--   * If the transmitter is any other @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE}, the transmisison can't be subtitled or looped.
--   
-- Note that obviously, the **frequency** and the **modulation** of the transmission are important only if the players are piloting an **Advanced System Modelling** enabled aircraft,
-- like the A10C or the Mirage 2000C. They will **hear the transmission** if they are tuned on the **right frequency and modulation** (and if they are close enough - more on that below).
-- If an FC3 aircraft is used, it will **hear every communication, whatever the frequency and the modulation** is set to. The same is true for TACAN beacons. If your aircraft isn't compatible,
-- you won't hear/be able to use the TACAN beacon informations.

--- Models the radio capability.
-- 
-- ## RADIO usage
-- 
-- There are 3 steps to a successful radio transmission.
-- 
--   * First, you need to **"add a @{#RADIO} object** to your @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE}. This is done using the @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE.GetRadio}() function,
--   * Then, you will **set the relevant parameters** to the transmission (see below),
--   * When done, you can actually **broadcast the transmission** (i.e. play the sound) with the @{RADIO.Broadcast}() function.
--   
-- Methods to set relevant parameters for both a @{Wrapper.Unit#UNIT} or a @{Wrapper.Group#GROUP} or any other @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE}
-- 
--   * @{#RADIO.SetFileName}() : Sets the file name of your sound file (e.g. "Noise.ogg"),
--   * @{#RADIO.SetFrequency}() : Sets the frequency of your transmission.
--   * @{#RADIO.SetModulation}() : Sets the modulation of your transmission.
--   * @{#RADIO.SetLoop}() : Choose if you want the transmission to be looped. If you need your transmission to be looped, you might need a @{#BEACON} instead...
-- 
-- Additional Methods to set relevant parameters if the transmitter is a @{Wrapper.Unit#UNIT} or a @{Wrapper.Group#GROUP}
-- 
--   * @{#RADIO.SetSubtitle}() : Set both the subtitle and its duration,
--   * @{#RADIO.NewUnitTransmission}() : Shortcut to set all the relevant parameters in one method call
-- 
-- Additional Methods to set relevant parameters if the transmitter is any other @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE}
-- 
--   * @{#RADIO.SetPower}() : Sets the power of the antenna in Watts
--   * @{#RADIO.NewGenericTransmission}() : Shortcut to set all the relevant parameters in one method call
-- 
-- What is this power thing?
-- 
--   * If your transmission is sent by a @{Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE} other than a @{Wrapper.Unit#UNIT} or a @{Wrapper.Group#GROUP}, you can set the power of the antenna,
--   * Otherwise, DCS sets it automatically, depending on what's available on your Unit,
--   * If the player gets **too far** from the transmitter, or if the antenna is **too weak**, the transmission will **fade** and **become noisyer**,
--   * This an automated DCS calculation you have no say on,
--   * For reference, a standard VOR station has a 100 W antenna, a standard AA TACAN has a 120 W antenna, and civilian ATC's antenna usually range between 300 and 500 W,
--   * Note that if the transmission has a subtitle, it will be readable, regardless of the quality of the transmission.

--- SPAWN Class
-- @type SPAWN
-- @field ClassName
-- @field #string SpawnTemplatePrefix
-- @field #string SpawnAliasPrefix
-- @field #number AliveUnits

-- @field #number SpawnIndex
-- @field #number MaxAliveGroups

-- @extends Core.Base#BASE


--- Allows to spawn dynamically new @{Core.Group}s.  
-- 
-- Each SPAWN object needs to be have related **template groups** setup in the Mission Editor (ME),
-- which is a normal group with the **Late Activation** flag set. 
-- This template group will never be activated in your mission.  
-- SPAWN uses that **template group** to reference to all the characteristics 
-- (air, ground, livery, unit composition, formation, skill level etc) of each new group to be spawned.  
-- 
-- Therefore, when creating a SPAWN object, the @{#SPAWN.New} and @{#SPAWN.NewWithAlias} require
-- **the name of the template group** to be given as a string to those constructor methods.  
--  
-- Initialization settings can be applied on the SPAWN object, 
-- which modify the behaviour or the way groups are spawned.
-- These initialization methods have the prefix **Init**.
-- There are also spawn methods with the prefix **Spawn** and will spawn new groups in various ways.
-- 
-- ### IMPORTANT! The methods with prefix **Init** must be used before any methods with prefix **Spawn** method are used, or unexpected results may appear!!!  
-- 
-- Because SPAWN can spawn multiple groups of a template group, 
-- SPAWN has an **internal index** that keeps track 
-- which was the latest group that was spawned.  
-- 
-- **Limits** can be set on how many groups can be spawn in each SPAWN object, 
-- using the method @{#SPAWN.InitLimit}. SPAWN has 2 kind of limits:
-- 
--   * The maximum amount of @{Wrapper.Unit}s that can be **alive** at the same time... 
--   * The maximum amount of @{Wrapper.Group}s that can be **spawned**... This is more of a **resource**-type of limit.
--   
-- When new groups get spawned using the **Spawn** methods, 
-- it will be evaluated whether any limits have been reached.
-- When no spawn limit is reached, a new group will be created by the spawning methods, 
-- and the internal index will be increased with 1.  
-- 
-- These limits ensure that your mission does not accidentally get flooded with spawned groups.  
-- Additionally, it also guarantees that independent of the group composition, 
-- at any time, the most optimal amount of groups are alive in your mission.
-- For example, if your template group has a group composition of 10 units, and you specify a limit of 100 units alive at the same time,
-- with unlimited resources = :InitLimit( 100, 0 ) and 10 groups are alive, but two groups have only one unit alive in the group,
-- then a sequent Spawn(Scheduled) will allow a new group to be spawned!!!
-- 
-- ### IMPORTANT!! If a limit has been reached, it is possible that a **Spawn** method returns **nil**, meaning, no @{Wrapper.Group} had been spawned!!!  
-- 
-- Spawned groups get **the same name** as the name of the template group.  
-- Spawned units in those groups keep _by default_ **the same name** as the name of the template group.  
-- However, because multiple groups and units are created from the template group, 
-- a suffix is added to each spawned group and unit.
-- 
-- Newly spawned groups will get the following naming structure at run-time:
-- 
--   1. Spawned groups will have the name _GroupName_#_nnn_, where _GroupName_ is the name of the **template group**, 
--   and _nnn_ is a **counter from 0 to 999**.
--   2. Spawned units will have the name _GroupName_#_nnn_-_uu_, 
--   where _uu_ is a **counter from 0 to 99** for each new spawned unit belonging to the group.
-- 
-- That being said, there is a way to keep the same unit names!  
-- The method @{#SPAWN.InitKeepUnitNames}() will keep the same unit names as defined within the template group, thus:
-- 
--   3. Spawned units will have the name _UnitName_#_nnn_-_uu_, 
--   where _UnitName_ is the **unit name as defined in the template group*, 
--   and _uu_ is a **counter from 0 to 99** for each new spawned unit belonging to the group.
-- 
-- Some **additional notes that need to be considered!!**:
-- 
--   * templates are actually groups defined within the mission editor, with the flag "Late Activation" set. 
--   As such, these groups are never used within the mission, but are used by the @{#SPAWN} module.
--   * It is important to defined BEFORE you spawn new groups, 
--   a proper initialization of the SPAWN instance is done with the options you want to use.
--   * When designing a mission, NEVER name groups using a "#" within the name of the group Spawn template(s), 
--   or the SPAWN module logic won't work anymore.
--   
-- ## SPAWN construction methods
-- 
-- Create a new SPAWN object with the @{#SPAWN.New}() or the @{#SPAWN.NewWithAlias}() methods:
-- 
--   * @{#SPAWN.New}(): Creates a new SPAWN object taking the name of the group that represents the GROUP template (definition).
--   * @{#SPAWN.NewWithAlias}(): Creates a new SPAWN object taking the name of the group that represents the GROUP template (definition), and gives each spawned @{Wrapper.Group} an different name.
--
-- It is important to understand how the SPAWN class works internally. The SPAWN object created will contain internally a list of groups that will be spawned and that are already spawned.
-- The initialization methods will modify this list of groups so that when a group gets spawned, ALL information is already prepared when spawning. This is done for performance reasons.
-- So in principle, the group list will contain all parameters and configurations after initialization, and when groups get actually spawned, this spawning can be done quickly and efficient.
--
-- ## SPAWN **Init**ialization methods
-- 
-- A spawn object will behave differently based on the usage of **initialization** methods, which all start with the **Init** prefix:  
-- 
-- ### Unit Names
-- 
--   * @{#SPAWN.InitKeepUnitNames}(): Keeps the unit names as defined within the mission editor, but note that anything after a # mark is ignored, and any spaces before and after the resulting name are removed. IMPORTANT! This method MUST be the first used after :New !!!
-- 
-- ### Route randomization
-- 
--   * @{#SPAWN.InitRandomizeRoute}(): Randomize the routes of spawned groups, and for air groups also optionally the height.
--   
-- ### Group composition randomization  
--   
--   * @{#SPAWN.InitRandomizeTemplate}(): Randomize the group templates so that when a new group is spawned, a random group template is selected from one of the templates defined. 
-- 
-- ### Uncontrolled
-- 
--   * @{#SPAWN.InitUnControlled}(): Spawn plane groups uncontrolled.
-- 
-- ### Array formation
--   
--   * @{#SPAWN.InitArray}(): Make groups visible before they are actually activated, and order these groups like a batallion in an array.
-- 
-- ### Position randomization
-- 
--   * @{#SPAWN.InitRandomizePosition}(): Randomizes the position of @{Wrapper.Group}s that are spawned within a **radius band**, given an Outer and Inner radius, from the point that the spawn happens.
--   * @{#SPAWN.InitRandomizeUnits}(): Randomizes the @{Wrapper.Unit}s in the @{Wrapper.Group} that is spawned within a **radius band**, given an Outer and Inner radius.
--   * @{#SPAWN.InitRandomizeZones}(): Randomizes the spawning between a predefined list of @{Zone}s that are declared using this function. Each zone can be given a probability factor.
--   
-- ### Enable / Disable AI when spawning a new @{Wrapper.Group}
--   
--   * @{#SPAWN.InitAIOn}(): Turns the AI On when spawning the new @{Wrapper.Group} object.
--   * @{#SPAWN.InitAIOff}(): Turns the AI Off when spawning the new @{Wrapper.Group} object.
--   * @{#SPAWN.InitAIOnOff}(): Turns the AI On or Off when spawning the new @{Wrapper.Group} object.
-- 
-- ### Limit scheduled spawning  
--   
--   * @{#SPAWN.InitLimit}(): Limits the amount of groups that can be alive at the same time and that can be dynamically spawned.
--   
-- ### Delay initial scheduled spawn
-- 
--   * @{#SPAWN.InitDelayOnOff}(): Turns the inital delay On/Off when scheduled spawning the first @{Wrapper.Group} object.
--   * @{#SPAWN.InitDelayOn}(): Turns the inital delay On when scheduled spawning the first @{Wrapper.Group} object.
--   * @{#SPAWN.InitDelayOff}(): Turns the inital delay Off when scheduled spawning the first @{Wrapper.Group} object.
-- 
-- ### Repeat spawned @{Wrapper.Group}s upon landing
-- 
--   * @{#SPAWN.InitRepeat}() or @{#SPAWN.InitRepeatOnLanding}(): This method is used to re-spawn automatically the same group after it has landed.
--   * @{#SPAWN.InitRepeatOnEngineShutDown}(): This method is used to re-spawn automatically the same group after it has landed and it shuts down the engines at the ramp.
-- 
-- 
-- ## SPAWN **Spawn** methods
-- 
-- Groups can be spawned at different times and methods:
-- 
-- ### **Single** spawning methods
-- 
--   * @{#SPAWN.Spawn}(): Spawn one new group based on the last spawned index.
--   * @{#SPAWN.ReSpawn}(): Re-spawn a group based on a given index.
--   * @{#SPAWN.SpawnFromVec3}(): Spawn a new group from a Vec3 coordinate. (The group will can be spawned at a point in the air).
--   * @{#SPAWN.SpawnFromVec2}(): Spawn a new group from a Vec2 coordinate. (The group will be spawned at land height ).
--   * @{#SPAWN.SpawnFromStatic}(): Spawn a new group from a structure, taking the position of a @{Static}.
--   * @{#SPAWN.SpawnFromUnit}(): Spawn a new group taking the position of a @{Wrapper.Unit}.
--   * @{#SPAWN.SpawnInZone}(): Spawn a new group in a @{Zone}.
--   * @{#SPAWN.SpawnAtAirbase}(): Spawn a new group at an @{Wrapper.Airbase}, which can be an airdrome, ship or helipad.
-- 
-- Note that @{#SPAWN.Spawn} and @{#SPAWN.ReSpawn} return a @{Wrapper.Group#GROUP.New} object, that contains a reference to the DCSGroup object. 
-- You can use the @{GROUP} object to do further actions with the DCSGroup.
-- 
-- ### **Scheduled** spawning methods
-- 
--   * @{#SPAWN.SpawnScheduled}(): Spawn groups at scheduled but randomized intervals. 
---  * @{#SPAWN.SpawnScheduleStart}(): Start or continue to spawn groups at scheduled time intervals. 
--   * @{#SPAWN.SpawnScheduleStop}(): Stop the spawning of groups at scheduled time intervals. 
-- 
--  
-- ## Retrieve alive GROUPs spawned by the SPAWN object
-- 
-- The SPAWN class administers which GROUPS it has reserved (in stock) or has created during mission execution.
-- Every time a SPAWN object spawns a new GROUP object, a reference to the GROUP object is added to an internal table of GROUPS.
-- SPAWN provides methods to iterate through that internal GROUP object reference table:
-- 
--   * @{#SPAWN.GetFirstAliveGroup}(): Will find the first alive GROUP it has spawned, and return the alive GROUP object and the first Index where the first alive GROUP object has been found.
--   * @{#SPAWN.GetNextAliveGroup}(): Will find the next alive GROUP object from a given Index, and return a reference to the alive GROUP object and the next Index where the alive GROUP has been found.
--   * @{#SPAWN.GetLastAliveGroup}(): Will find the last alive GROUP object, and will return a reference to the last live GROUP object and the last Index where the last alive GROUP object has been found.
-- 
-- You can use the methods @{#SPAWN.GetFirstAliveGroup}() and sequently @{#SPAWN.GetNextAliveGroup}() to iterate through the alive GROUPS within the SPAWN object, and to actions... See the respective methods for an example.
-- The method @{#SPAWN.GetGroupFromIndex}() will return the GROUP object reference from the given Index, dead or alive...
-- 
-- ## Spawned cleaning of inactive groups
-- 
-- Sometimes, it will occur during a mission run-time, that ground or especially air objects get damaged, and will while being damged stop their activities, while remaining alive.
-- In such cases, the SPAWN object will just sit there and wait until that group gets destroyed, but most of the time it won't, 
-- and it may occur that no new groups are or can be spawned as limits are reached.
-- To prevent this, a @{#SPAWN.InitCleanUp}() initialization method has been defined that will silently monitor the status of each spawned group.
-- Once a group has a velocity = 0, and has been waiting for a defined interval, that group will be cleaned or removed from run-time. 
-- There is a catch however :-) If a damaged group has returned to an airbase within the coalition, that group will not be considered as "lost"... 
-- In such a case, when the inactive group is cleaned, a new group will Re-spawned automatically. 
-- This models AI that has succesfully returned to their airbase, to restart their combat activities.
-- Check the @{#SPAWN.InitCleanUp}() for further info.
-- 
-- ## Catch the @{Wrapper.Group} Spawn Event in a callback function!
-- 
-- When using the @{#SPAWN.SpawnScheduled)() method, new @{Wrapper.Group}s are created following the spawn time interval parameters.
-- When a new @{Wrapper.Group} is spawned, you maybe want to execute actions with that group spawned at the spawn event.
-- The SPAWN class supports this functionality through the method @{#SPAWN.OnSpawnGroup}( **function( SpawnedGroup ) end ** ), 
-- which takes a function as a parameter that you can define locally. 
-- Whenever a new @{Wrapper.Group} is spawned, the given function is called, and the @{Wrapper.Group} that was just spawned, is given as a parameter.
-- As a result, your spawn event handling function requires one parameter to be declared, which will contain the spawned @{Wrapper.Group} object. 
-- A coding example is provided at the description of the @{#SPAWN.OnSpawnGroup}( **function( SpawnedGroup ) end ** ) method.
-- 
-- ## Delay the initial spawning
-- 
-- When using the @{#SPAWN.SpawnScheduled)() method, the default behaviour of this method will be that it will spawn the initial (first) @{Wrapper.Group}
-- immediately when :SpawnScheduled() is initiated. The methods @{#SPAWN.InitDelayOnOff}() and @{#SPAWN.InitDelayOn}() can be used to
-- activate a delay before the first @{Wrapper.Group} is spawned. For completeness, a method @{#SPAWN.InitDelayOff}() is also available, that
-- can be used to switch off the initial delay. Because there is no delay by default, this method would only be used when a 
-- @{#SPAWN.SpawnScheduleStop}() ; @{#SPAWN.SpawnScheduleStart}() sequence would have been used.

--- Will spawn a group at an @{Wrapper.Airbase}.

-- Note that each point in the route assigned to the spawning group is reset to the point of the spawn.
-- You can use the returned group to further define the route to be followed.
-- 
-- The @{Wrapper.Airbase#AIRBASE} object must refer to a valid airbase known in the sim.
-- You can use the following enumerations to search for the pre-defined airbases on the current known maps of DCS:
-- 
--   * @{Wrapper.Airbase#AIRBASE.Caucasus}: The airbases on the Caucasus map. 
--   * @{Wrapper.Airbase#AIRBASE.Nevada}: The airbases on the Nevada (NTTR) map.

-- Therefore, there isn't any New() constructor defined for AIRBASE objects.
-- 
-- Ships and Farps are added within the mission, and are therefore not known.
-- For these AIRBASE objects, there isn't an @{Wrapper.Airbase#AIRBASE} enumeration defined.

--- @type SPAWNSTATIC
-- @extends Core.Base#BASE


--- Allows to spawn dynamically new @{Static}s.
-- Through creating a copy of an existing static object template as defined in the Mission Editor (ME),
-- SPAWNSTATIC can retireve the properties of the defined static object template (like type, category etc), and "copy"
-- these properties to create a new static object and place it at the desired coordinate.
-- 
-- New spawned @{Static}s get **the same name** as the name of the template Static, 
-- or gets the given name when a new name is provided at the Spawn method.  
-- By default, spawned @{Static}s will follow a naming convention at run-time:
-- 
--   * Spawned @{Static}s will have the name _StaticName_#_nnn_, where _StaticName_ is the name of the **Template Static**, 
--   and _nnn_ is a **counter from 0 to 99999**.
-- 
--   
-- ## SPAWNSTATIC construction methods
-- 
-- Create a new SPAWNSTATIC object with the @{#SPAWNSTATIC.NewFromStatic}():
-- 
--   * @{#SPAWNSTATIC.NewFromStatic}(): Creates a new SPAWNSTATIC object given a name that is used as the base of the naming of each spawned Static.
--
-- ## **Spawn** methods
-- 
-- Groups can be spawned at different times and methods:
-- 
--   * @{#SPAWNSTATIC.SpawnFromPointVec2}(): Spawn a new group from a POINT_VEC2 coordinate. 
--   (The group will be spawned at land height ).
--   * @{#SPAWNSTATIC.SpawnFromZone}(): Spawn a new group in a @{Zone}.

--- @type CONTROLLABLE
-- @field DCS#Controllable DCSControllable The DCS controllable class.
-- @field #string ControllableName The name of the controllable.
-- @extends Wrapper.Positionable#POSITIONABLE



--- Wrapper class to handle the "DCS Controllable objects", which are Groups and Units:
--
--  * Support all DCS Controllable APIs.
--  * Enhance with Controllable specific APIs not in the DCS Controllable API set.
--  * Handle local Controllable Controller.
--  * Manage the "state" of the DCS Controllable.
--
-- # 1) CONTROLLABLE constructor
--
-- The CONTROLLABLE class provides the following functions to construct a CONTROLLABLE instance:
--
--  * @{#CONTROLLABLE.New}(): Create a CONTROLLABLE instance.
--
-- # 2) CONTROLLABLE Task methods
--
-- Several controllable task methods are available that help you to prepare tasks.
-- These methods return a string consisting of the task description, which can then be given to either a @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.PushTask} or @{Wrapper.Controllable#SetTask} method to assign the task to the CONTROLLABLE.
-- Tasks are specific for the category of the CONTROLLABLE, more specific, for AIR, GROUND or AIR and GROUND.
-- Each task description where applicable indicates for which controllable category the task is valid.
-- There are 2 main subdivisions of tasks: Assigned tasks and EnRoute tasks.
--
-- ## 2.1) Task assignment
--
-- Assigned task methods make the controllable execute the task where the location of the (possible) targets of the task are known before being detected.
-- This is different from the EnRoute tasks, where the targets of the task need to be detected before the task can be executed.
--
-- Find below a list of the **assigned task** methods:
--
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.TaskAttackGroup}: (AIR) Attack a Controllable.
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.TaskAttackMapObject}: (AIR) Attacking the map object (building, structure, e.t.c).
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.TaskAttackUnit}: (AIR) Attack the Unit.
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.TaskBombing}: (AIR) Delivering weapon at the point on the ground.
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.TaskBombingRunway}: (AIR) Delivering weapon on the runway.
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.TaskEmbarking}: (AIR) Move the controllable to a Vec2 Point, wait for a defined duration and embark a controllable.
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.TaskEmbarkToTransport}: (GROUND) Embark to a Transport landed at a location.
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.TaskEscort}: (AIR) Escort another airborne controllable.
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.TaskFAC_AttackGroup}: (AIR + GROUND) The task makes the controllable/unit a FAC and orders the FAC to control the target (enemy ground controllable) destruction.
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.TaskFireAtPoint}: (GROUND) Fire some or all ammunition at a VEC2 point.
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.TaskFollow}: (AIR) Following another airborne controllable.
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.TaskHold}: (GROUND) Hold ground controllable from moving.
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.TaskHoldPosition}: (AIR) Hold position at the current position of the first unit of the controllable.
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.TaskLand}: (AIR HELICOPTER) Landing at the ground. For helicopters only.
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.TaskLandAtZone}: (AIR) Land the controllable at a @{Core.Zone#ZONE_RADIUS).
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.TaskOrbitCircle}: (AIR) Orbit at the current position of the first unit of the controllable at a specified alititude.
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.TaskOrbitCircleAtVec2}: (AIR) Orbit at a specified position at a specified alititude during a specified duration with a specified speed.
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.TaskRefueling}: (AIR) Refueling from the nearest tanker. No parameters.
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.TaskRoute}: (AIR + GROUND) Return a Misson task to follow a given route defined by Points.
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.TaskRouteToVec2}: (AIR + GROUND) Make the Controllable move to a given point.
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.TaskRouteToVec3}: (AIR + GROUND) Make the Controllable move to a given point.
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.TaskRouteToZone}: (AIR + GROUND) Route the controllable to a given zone.
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.TaskReturnToBase}: (AIR) Route the controllable to an airbase.
--
-- ## 2.2) EnRoute assignment
--
-- EnRoute tasks require the targets of the task need to be detected by the controllable (using its sensors) before the task can be executed:
--
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.EnRouteTaskAWACS}: (AIR) Aircraft will act as an AWACS for friendly units (will provide them with information about contacts). No parameters.
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.EnRouteTaskEngageControllable}: (AIR) Engaging a controllable. The task does not assign the target controllable to the unit/controllable to attack now; it just allows the unit/controllable to engage the target controllable as well as other assigned targets.
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.EnRouteTaskEngageTargets}: (AIR) Engaging targets of defined types.
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.EnRouteTaskEngageTargetsInZone}: (AIR) Engaging a targets of defined types at circle-shaped zone.
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.EnRouteTaskEWR}: (AIR) Attack the Unit.
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.EnRouteTaskFAC}: (AIR + GROUND) The task makes the controllable/unit a FAC and lets the FAC to choose a targets (enemy ground controllable) around as well as other assigned targets.
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.EnRouteTaskFAC_EngageControllable}: (AIR + GROUND) The task makes the controllable/unit a FAC and lets the FAC to choose the target (enemy ground controllable) as well as other assigned targets.
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.EnRouteTaskTanker}: (AIR) Aircraft will act as a tanker for friendly units. No parameters.
--
-- ## 2.3) Task preparation
--
-- There are certain task methods that allow to tailor the task behaviour:
--
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.TaskWrappedAction}: Return a WrappedAction Task taking a Command.
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.TaskCombo}: Return a Combo Task taking an array of Tasks.
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.TaskCondition}: Return a condition section for a controlled task.
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.TaskControlled}: Return a Controlled Task taking a Task and a TaskCondition.
--
-- ## 2.4) Call a function as a Task
--
-- A function can be called which is part of a Task. The method @{#CONTROLLABLE.TaskFunction}() prepares
-- a Task that can call a GLOBAL function from within the Controller execution.
-- This method can also be used to **embed a function call when a certain waypoint has been reached**.
-- See below the **Tasks at Waypoints** section.
--
-- Demonstration Mission: [GRP-502 - Route at waypoint to random point](https://github.com/FlightControl-Master/MOOSE_MISSIONS/tree/release-2-2-pre/GRP - Group Commands/GRP-502 - Route at waypoint to random point)
--
-- ## 2.5) Tasks at Waypoints
--
-- Special Task methods are available to set tasks at certain waypoints.
-- The method @{#CONTROLLABLE.SetTaskWaypoint}() helps preparing a Route, embedding a Task at the Waypoint of the Route.
--
-- This creates a Task element, with an action to call a function as part of a Wrapped Task.
--
-- ## 2.6) Obtain the mission from controllable templates
--
-- Controllable templates contain complete mission descriptions. Sometimes you want to copy a complete mission from a controllable and assign it to another:
--
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.TaskMission}: (AIR + GROUND) Return a mission task from a mission template.
--
-- # 3) Command methods
--
-- Controllable **command methods** prepare the execution of commands using the @{#CONTROLLABLE.SetCommand} method:
--
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.CommandDoScript}: Do Script command.
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.CommandSwitchWayPoint}: Perform a switch waypoint command.
--
-- # 4) Routing of Controllables
--
-- Different routing methods exist to route GROUPs and UNITs to different locations:
--
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.Route}(): Make the Controllable to follow a given route.
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.RouteGroundTo}(): Make the GROUND Controllable to drive towards a specific coordinate.
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.RouteAirTo}(): Make the AIR Controllable to fly towards a specific coordinate.
--
-- # 5) Option methods
--
-- Controllable **Option methods** change the behaviour of the Controllable while being alive.
--
-- ## 5.1) Rule of Engagement:
--
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.OptionROEWeaponFree}
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.OptionROEOpenFire}
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.OptionROEReturnFire}
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.OptionROEEvadeFire}
--
-- To check whether an ROE option is valid for a specific controllable, use:
--
--   * @{#CONTROLLABLE.OptionROEWeaponFreePossible}

--- **Wrapper** -- GROUP wraps the DCS Class Group objects.
-- 
-- ===
-- 
-- The @{#GROUP} class is a wrapper class to handle the DCS Group objects.
-- 
-- ## Features:
--
--  * Support all DCS Group APIs.
--  * Enhance with Group specific APIs not in the DCS Group API set.
--  * Handle local Group Controller.
--  * Manage the "state" of the DCS Group.
--
-- **IMPORTANT: ONE SHOULD NEVER SANATIZE these GROUP OBJECT REFERENCES! (make the GROUP object references nil).**
--
-- ===
-- 
-- For each DCS Group object alive within a running mission, a GROUP wrapper object (instance) will be created within the _@{DATABASE} object.
-- This is done at the beginning of the mission (when the mission starts), and dynamically when new DCS Group objects are spawned (using the @{SPAWN} class).
-- 
-- The GROUP class does not contain a :New() method, rather it provides :Find() methods to retrieve the object reference
-- using the DCS Group or the DCS GroupName.
--
-- The GROUP methods will reference the DCS Group object by name when it is needed during API execution.
-- If the DCS Group object does not exist or is nil, the GROUP methods will return nil and may log an exception in the DCS.log file.

-- @module Wrapper.Group
-- @image Wrapper_Group.JPG


--- @type GROUP
-- @extends Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE
-- @field #string GroupName The name of the group.


--- Wrapper class of the DCS world Group object.
-- 
-- The GROUP class provides the following functions to retrieve quickly the relevant GROUP instance:
--
--  * @{#GROUP.Find}(): Find a GROUP instance from the _DATABASE object using a DCS Group object.
--  * @{#GROUP.FindByName}(): Find a GROUP instance from the _DATABASE object using a DCS Group name.
--
-- # 1. Tasking of groups
--
-- A GROUP is derived from the wrapper class CONTROLLABLE (@{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE}). 
-- See the @{Wrapper.Controllable} task methods section for a description of the task methods.
--
-- But here is an example how a group can be assigned a task.
-- 
-- This test demonstrates the use(s) of the SwitchWayPoint method of the GROUP class.
-- 
-- First we look up the objects. We create a GROUP object `HeliGroup`, using the @{#GROUP:FindByName}() method, looking up the `"Helicopter"` group object.
-- Same for the `"AttackGroup"`.
--          
--          local HeliGroup = GROUP:FindByName( "Helicopter" )
--          local AttackGroup = GROUP:FindByName( "AttackGroup" )
-- 
-- Now we retrieve the @{Wrapper.Unit#UNIT} objects of the `AttackGroup` object, using the method `:GetUnits()`.   
--       
--          local AttackUnits = AttackGroup:GetUnits()
--          
-- Tasks are actually text strings that we build using methods of GROUP.
-- So first, we declare an list of `Tasks`.  
--        
--          local Tasks = {}
-- 
-- Now we loop over the `AttackUnits` using a for loop.
-- We retrieve the `AttackUnit` using the `AttackGroup:GetUnit()` method.
-- Each `AttackUnit` found, will be attacked by `HeliGroup`, using the method `HeliGroup:TaskAttackUnit()`.
-- This method returns a string containing a command line to execute the task to the `HeliGroup`.
-- The code will assign the task string command to the next element in the `Task` list, using `Tasks[#Tasks+1]`.
-- This little code will take the count of `Task` using `#` operator, and will add `1` to the count.
-- This result will be the index of the `Task` element.
--          
--          for i = 1, #AttackUnits do
--            local AttackUnit = AttackGroup:GetUnit( i )
--            Tasks[#Tasks+1] = HeliGroup:TaskAttackUnit( AttackUnit )
--          end
--          
-- Once these tasks have been executed, a function `_Resume` will be called ...
--          
--          Tasks[#Tasks+1] = HeliGroup:TaskFunction( "_Resume", { "''" } )
--          
--          --- @param Wrapper.Group#GROUP HeliGroup
--          function _Resume( HeliGroup )
--            env.info( '_Resume' )
--          
--            HeliGroup:MessageToAll( "Resuming",10,"Info")
--          end
-- 
-- Now here is where the task gets assigned!
-- Using `HeliGroup:PushTask`, the task is pushed onto the task queue of the group `HeliGroup`.
-- Since `Tasks` is an array of tasks, we use the `HeliGroup:TaskCombo` method to execute the tasks.
-- The `HeliGroup:PushTask` method can receive a delay parameter in seconds.
-- In the example, `30` is given as a delay.
-- 
-- 
--          HeliGroup:PushTask( 
--            HeliGroup:TaskCombo(
--            Tasks
--            ), 30 
--          ) 
-- 
-- That's it!
-- But again, please refer to the @{Wrapper.Controllable} task methods section for a description of the different task methods that are available.
-- 
-- 
--
-- ### Obtain the mission from group templates
-- 
-- Group templates contain complete mission descriptions. Sometimes you want to copy a complete mission from a group and assign it to another:
-- 
--   * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskMission}: (AIR + GROUND) Return a mission task from a mission template.
--
-- ## GROUP Command methods
--
-- A GROUP is a @{Wrapper.Controllable}. See the @{Wrapper.Controllable} command methods section for a description of the command methods.
-- 
-- ## GROUP option methods
--
-- A GROUP is a @{Wrapper.Controllable}. See the @{Wrapper.Controllable} option methods section for a description of the option methods.
-- 
-- ## GROUP Zone validation methods
-- 
-- The group can be validated whether it is completely, partly or not within a @{Zone}.
-- Use the following Zone validation methods on the group:
-- 
--   * @{#GROUP.IsCompletelyInZone}: Returns true if all units of the group are within a @{Zone}.
--   * @{#GROUP.IsPartlyInZone}: Returns true if some units of the group are within a @{Zone}.
--   * @{#GROUP.IsNotInZone}: Returns true if none of the group units of the group are within a @{Zone}.
--   
-- The zone can be of any @{Zone} class derived from @{Core.Zone#ZONE_BASE}. So, these methods are polymorphic to the zones tested on.
-- 
-- ## GROUP AI methods
-- 
-- A GROUP has AI methods to control the AI activation.
-- 
--   * @{#GROUP.SetAIOnOff}(): Turns the GROUP AI On or Off.
--   * @{#GROUP.SetAIOn}(): Turns the GROUP AI On.
--   * @{#GROUP.SetAIOff}(): Turns the GROUP AI Off.
-- 
-- @field #GROUP GROUP
GROUP = {
  ClassName = "GROUP",
}

--end--- **Wrapper** - UNIT is a wrapper class for the DCS Class Unit.
-- 
-- ===
-- 
-- The @{#UNIT} class is a wrapper class to handle the DCS Unit objects:
-- 
--  * Support all DCS Unit APIs.
--  * Enhance with Unit specific APIs not in the DCS Unit API set.
--  * Handle local Unit Controller.
--  * Manage the "state" of the DCS Unit.
--

-- 
-- @module Wrapper.Unit
-- @image Wrapper_Unit.JPG


--- @type UNIT
-- @extends Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE

--- For each DCS Unit object alive within a running mission, a UNIT wrapper object (instance) will be created within the _@{DATABASE} object.
-- This is done at the beginning of the mission (when the mission starts), and dynamically when new DCS Unit objects are spawned (using the @{SPAWN} class).
--  
-- The UNIT class **does not contain a :New()** method, rather it provides **:Find()** methods to retrieve the object reference
-- using the DCS Unit or the DCS UnitName.
-- 
-- Another thing to know is that UNIT objects do not "contain" the DCS Unit object. 
-- The UNIT methods will reference the DCS Unit object by name when it is needed during API execution.
-- If the DCS Unit object does not exist or is nil, the UNIT methods will return nil and log an exception in the DCS.log file.
--  
-- The UNIT class provides the following functions to retrieve quickly the relevant UNIT instance:
-- 
--  * @{#UNIT.Find}(): Find a UNIT instance from the _DATABASE object using a DCS Unit object.
--  * @{#UNIT.FindByName}(): Find a UNIT instance from the _DATABASE object using a DCS Unit name.
--  
-- IMPORTANT: ONE SHOULD NEVER SANATIZE these UNIT OBJECT REFERENCES! (make the UNIT object references nil).
-- 
-- ## DCS UNIT APIs
-- 
-- The DCS Unit APIs are used extensively within MOOSE. The UNIT class has for each DCS Unit API a corresponding method.
-- To be able to distinguish easily in your code the difference between a UNIT API call and a DCS Unit API call,
-- the first letter of the method is also capitalized. So, by example, the DCS Unit method @{DCS#Unit.getName}()
-- is implemented in the UNIT class as @{#UNIT.GetName}().
-- 
-- ## Smoke, Flare Units
-- 
-- The UNIT class provides methods to smoke or flare units easily. 
-- The @{#UNIT.SmokeBlue}(), @{#UNIT.SmokeGreen}(),@{#UNIT.SmokeOrange}(), @{#UNIT.SmokeRed}(), @{#UNIT.SmokeRed}() methods
-- will smoke the unit in the corresponding color. Note that smoking a unit is done at the current position of the DCS Unit. 
-- When the DCS Unit moves for whatever reason, the smoking will still continue!
-- The @{#UNIT.FlareGreen}(), @{#UNIT.FlareRed}(), @{#UNIT.FlareWhite}(), @{#UNIT.FlareYellow}() 
-- methods will fire off a flare in the air with the corresponding color. Note that a flare is a one-off shot and its effect is of very short duration.
-- 
-- ## Location Position, Point
-- 
-- The UNIT class provides methods to obtain the current point or position of the DCS Unit.
-- The @{#UNIT.GetPointVec2}(), @{#UNIT.GetVec3}() will obtain the current **location** of the DCS Unit in a Vec2 (2D) or a **point** in a Vec3 (3D) vector respectively.
-- If you want to obtain the complete **3D position** including ori�ntation and direction vectors, consult the @{#UNIT.GetPositionVec3}() method respectively.
-- 
-- ## Test if alive
-- 
-- The @{#UNIT.IsAlive}(), @{#UNIT.IsActive}() methods determines if the DCS Unit is alive, meaning, it is existing and active.
-- 
-- ## Test for proximity
-- 
-- The UNIT class contains methods to test the location or proximity against zones or other objects.
-- 
-- ### Zones range
-- 
-- To test whether the Unit is within a **zone**, use the @{#UNIT.IsInZone}() or the @{#UNIT.IsNotInZone}() methods. Any zone can be tested on, but the zone must be derived from @{Core.Zone#ZONE_BASE}. 
-- 
-- ### Unit range
-- 
--   * Test if another DCS Unit is within a given radius of the current DCS Unit, use the @{#UNIT.OtherUnitInRadius}() method.
--   
-- ## Test Line of Sight
-- 
--   * Use the @{#UNIT.IsLOS}() method to check if the given unit is within line of sight.

--- The CLIENT class
-- @type CLIENT
-- @extends Wrapper.Unit#UNIT


--- Wrapper class of those **Units** defined within the Mission Editor that have the skillset defined as __Client__ or __Player__.
-- 
-- Note that clients are NOT the same as Units, they are NOT necessarily alive.
-- The CLIENT class is a wrapper class to handle the DCS Unit objects that have the skillset defined as __Client__ or __Player__:
-- 
--  * Wraps the DCS Unit objects with skill level set to Player or Client.
--  * Support all DCS Unit APIs.
--  * Enhance with Unit specific APIs not in the DCS Group API set.
--  * When player joins Unit, execute alive init logic.
--  * Handles messages to players.
--  * Manage the "state" of the DCS Unit.
-- 
-- Clients are being used by the @{MISSION} class to follow players and register their successes.
--  
-- ## CLIENT reference methods
-- 
-- For each DCS Unit having skill level Player or Client, a CLIENT wrapper object (instance) will be created within the _@{DATABASE} object.
-- This is done at the beginning of the mission (when the mission starts).
--  
-- The CLIENT class does not contain a :New() method, rather it provides :Find() methods to retrieve the object reference
-- using the DCS Unit or the DCS UnitName.
-- 
-- Another thing to know is that CLIENT objects do not "contain" the DCS Unit object. 
-- The CLIENT methods will reference the DCS Unit object by name when it is needed during API execution.
-- If the DCS Unit object does not exist or is nil, the CLIENT methods will return nil and log an exception in the DCS.log file.
--  
-- The CLIENT class provides the following functions to retrieve quickly the relevant CLIENT instance:
-- 
--  * @{#CLIENT.Find}(): Find a CLIENT instance from the _DATABASE object using a DCS Unit object.
--  * @{#CLIENT.FindByName}(): Find a CLIENT instance from the _DATABASE object using a DCS Unit name.
--  
-- **IMPORTANT: ONE SHOULD NEVER SANATIZE these CLIENT OBJECT REFERENCES! (make the CLIENT object references nil).**

--- Wrapper class to handle Static objects.
-- 
-- Note that Statics are almost the same as Units, but they don't have a controller.
-- The @{Wrapper.Static#STATIC} class is a wrapper class to handle the DCS Static objects:
-- 
--  * Wraps the DCS Static objects.
--  * Support all DCS Static APIs.
--  * Enhance with Static specific APIs not in the DCS API set.
-- 
-- ## STATIC reference methods
-- 
-- For each DCS Static will have a STATIC wrapper object (instance) within the _@{DATABASE} object.
-- This is done at the beginning of the mission (when the mission starts).
--  
-- The STATIC class does not contain a :New() method, rather it provides :Find() methods to retrieve the object reference
-- using the Static Name.
-- 
-- Another thing to know is that STATIC objects do not "contain" the DCS Static object. 
-- The STATIc methods will reference the DCS Static object by name when it is needed during API execution.
-- If the DCS Static object does not exist or is nil, the STATIC methods will return nil and log an exception in the DCS.log file.
--  
-- The STATIc class provides the following functions to retrieve quickly the relevant STATIC instance:
-- 
--  * @{#STATIC.FindByName}(): Find a STATIC instance from the _DATABASE object using a DCS Static name.
--  
-- IMPORTANT: ONE SHOULD NEVER SANATIZE these STATIC OBJECT REFERENCES! (make the STATIC object references nil).

--- Wrapper class to handle the DCS Airbase objects:

--  * Support all DCS Airbase APIs.
--  * Enhance with Airbase specific APIs not in the DCS Airbase API set.
--  
-- ## AIRBASE reference methods
-- 
-- For each DCS Airbase object alive within a running mission, a AIRBASE wrapper object (instance) will be created within the _@{DATABASE} object.
-- This is done at the beginning of the mission (when the mission starts).
--  
-- The AIRBASE class **does not contain a :New()** method, rather it provides **:Find()** methods to retrieve the object reference

-- 
-- ## DCS Airbase APIs
-- 
-- The DCS Airbase APIs are used extensively within MOOSE. The AIRBASE class has for each DCS Airbase API a corresponding method.
-- To be able to distinguish easily in your code the difference between a AIRBASE API call and a DCS Airbase API call,
-- the first letter of the method is also capitalized. So, by example, the DCS Airbase method @{DCSWrapper.Airbase#Airbase.getName}()
-- is implemented in the AIRBASE class as @{#AIRBASE.GetName}().

--- **Core** -- Management of CARGO logistics, that can be transported from and to transportation carriers.
--
-- ===
-- 
-- # 1) MOOSE Cargo System.
-- 
-- #### Those who have used the mission editor, know that the DCS mission editor provides cargo facilities.
-- However, these are merely static objects. Wouldn't it be nice if cargo could bring a new dynamism into your
-- simulations? Where various objects of various types could be treated also as cargo?
-- 
-- This is what MOOSE brings to you, a complete new cargo object model that used the cargo capabilities of 
-- DCS world, but enhances it.
-- 
-- MOOSE Cargo introduces also a new concept, called a "carrier". These can be:
-- 
--   - Helicopters
--   - Planes
--   - Ground Vehicles
--   - Ships
-- 
-- With the MOOSE Cargo system, you can:
-- 
--   - Take full control of the cargo as objects within your script (see below).
--   - Board/Unboard infantry into carriers. Also other objects can be boarded, like mortars.
--   - Load/Unload dcs world cargo objects into carriers.
--   - Load/Unload other static objects into carriers (like tires etc).
--   - Slingload cargo objects.
--   - Board units one by one...
--   
-- # 2) MOOSE Cargo Objects.
-- 
-- In order to make use of the MOOSE cargo system, you need to **declare** the DCS objects as MOOSE cargo objects!
-- 
-- This sounds complicated, but it is actually quite simple.
-- 
-- See here an example:
-- 
--     local EngineerCargoGroup = CARGO_GROUP:New( GROUP:FindByName( "Engineers" ), "Workmaterials", "Engineers", 250 )
--     
-- The above code declares a MOOSE cargo object called `EngineerCargoGroup`.
-- It actually just refers to an infantry group created within the sim called `"Engineers"`.
-- The infantry group now becomes controlled by the MOOSE cargo object `EngineerCargoGroup`.
-- A MOOSE cargo object also has properties, like the type of cargo, the logical name, and the reporting range.
-- 
-- There are 4 types of MOOSE cargo objects possible, each represented by its own class:
-- 
--   - @{Cargo.CargoGroup#CARGO_GROUP}: A MOOSE cargo that is represented by a DCS world GROUP object.
--   - @{Cargo.CargoCrate#CARGO_CRATE}: A MOOSE cargo that is represented by a DCS world cargo object (static object).
--   - @{Cargo.CargoUnit#CARGO_UNIT}: A MOOSE cargo that is represented by a DCS world unit object or static object.
--   - @{Cargo.CargoSlingload#CARGO_SLINGLOAD}: A MOOSE cargo that is represented by a DCS world cargo object (static object), that can be slingloaded.
--   
-- Note that a CARGO crate is not meant to be slingloaded (it can, but it is not **meant** to be handled like that.
-- Instead, a CARGO_CRATE is able to load itself into the bays of a carrier.
-- 
-- Each of these MOOSE cargo objects behave in its own way, and have methods to be handled.
-- 
--     local InfantryGroup = GROUP:FindByName( "Infantry" )
--     local InfantryCargo = CARGO_GROUP:New( InfantryGroup, "Engineers", "Infantry Engineers", 2000 )
--     local CargoCarrier = UNIT:FindByName( "Carrier" )
--     -- This call will make the Cargo run to the CargoCarrier.
--     -- Upon arrival at the CargoCarrier, the Cargo will be Loaded into the Carrier.
--     -- This process is now fully automated.
--     InfantryCargo:Board( CargoCarrier, 25 ) 
-- 
-- The above would create a MOOSE cargo object called `InfantryCargo`, and using that object,
-- you can board the cargo into the carrier `CargoCarrier`.
-- Simple, isn't it? Told you, and this is only the beginning.
-- 
-- The boarding, unboarding, loading, unloading of cargo is however something that is not meant to be coded manualy by mission designers.
-- It would be too low-level and not end-user friendly to deal with cargo handling complexity.
-- Things can become really complex if you want to make cargo being handled and behave in multiple scenarios.
-- 
-- # 3) Cargo Handling Classes, the main engines for mission designers!
-- 
-- For this reason, the MOOSE Cargo System is heavily used by 3 important **cargo handling class hierarchies** within MOOSE,
-- that make cargo come "alive" within your mission in a full automatic manner!
-- 
-- ## 3.1) AI Cargo handlers.
-- 
--   - @{AI.AI_Cargo_APC} will create for you the capatility to make an APC group handle cargo.
--   - @{AI.AI_Cargo_Helicopter} will create for you the capatility to make a Helicopter group handle cargo.
--   
--   
-- ## 3.2) AI Cargo transportation dispatchers.
-- 
-- There are also dispatchers that make AI work together to transport cargo automatically!!!
--   
--   - @{AI.AI_Cargo_Dispatcher_APC} derived classes will create for your dynamic cargo handlers controlled by AI ground vehicle groups (APCs) to transport cargo between sites.
--   - @{AI.AI_Cargo_Dispatcher_Helicopters} derived classes will create for your dynamic cargo handlers controlled by AI helicpter groups to transport cargo between sites.
-- 
-- ## 3.3) Cargo transportation tasking.
--   
-- And there is cargo transportation tasking for human players.
--   
--   - @{Tasking.Task_CARGO} derived classes will create for you cargo transportation tasks, that allow human players to interact with MOOSE cargo objects to complete tasks.
-- 
-- Please refer to the documentation reflected within these modules to understand the detailed capabilties.
-- 
-- # 4) Cargo SETs.
-- 
-- To make life a bit more easy, MOOSE cargo objects can be grouped into a @{Core.Set#SET_CARGO}.
-- This is a collection of MOOSE cargo objects.
-- 
-- This would work as follows:
-- 
--      -- Define the cargo set.
--      local CargoSetWorkmaterials = SET_CARGO:New():FilterTypes( "Workmaterials" ):FilterStart()
--      
--      -- Now add cargo the cargo set.
--      local EngineerCargoGroup = CARGO_GROUP:New( GROUP:FindByName( "Engineers" ), "Workmaterials", "Engineers", 250 )
--      local ConcreteCargo = CARGO_SLINGLOAD:New( STATIC:FindByName( "Concrete" ), "Workmaterials", "Concrete", 150, 50 )
--      local CrateCargo = CARGO_CRATE:New( STATIC:FindByName( "Crate" ), "Workmaterials", "Crate", 150, 50 )
--      local EnginesCargo = CARGO_CRATE:New( STATIC:FindByName( "Engines" ), "Workmaterials", "Engines", 150, 50 )
--      local MetalCargo = CARGO_CRATE:New( STATIC:FindByName( "Metal" ), "Workmaterials", "Metal", 150, 50 )
-- 
-- This is a very powerful concept!
-- Instead of having to deal with multiple MOOSE cargo objects yourself, the cargo set capability will group cargo objects into one set.
-- The key is the **cargo type** name given at each cargo declaration!
-- In the above example, the cargo type name is `"Workmaterials"`. Each cargo object declared is given that type name. (the 2nd parameter).
-- What happens now is that the cargo set `CargoSetWorkmaterials` will be added with each cargo object **dynamically** when the cargo object is created.
-- In other words, the cargo set `CargoSetWorkmaterials` will incorporate any `"Workmaterials"` dynamically into its set.
-- 
-- The cargo sets are extremely important for the AI cargo transportation dispatchers and the cargo transporation tasking.
-- 
-- # 5) Declare cargo directly in the mission editor!
-- 
-- But I am not finished! There is something more, that is even more great!
-- Imagine the mission designers having to code all these lines every time it wants to embed cargo within a mission.
--  
--      -- Now add cargo the cargo set.
--      local EngineerCargoGroup = CARGO_GROUP:New( GROUP:FindByName( "Engineers" ), "Workmaterials", "Engineers", 250 )
--      local ConcreteCargo = CARGO_SLINGLOAD:New( STATIC:FindByName( "Concrete" ), "Workmaterials", "Concrete", 150, 50 )
--      local CrateCargo = CARGO_CRATE:New( STATIC:FindByName( "Crate" ), "Workmaterials", "Crate", 150, 50 )
--      local EnginesCargo = CARGO_CRATE:New( STATIC:FindByName( "Engines" ), "Workmaterials", "Engines", 150, 50 )
--      local MetalCargo = CARGO_CRATE:New( STATIC:FindByName( "Metal" ), "Workmaterials", "Metal", 150, 50 )
-- 
-- This would be extremely tiring and a huge overload.
-- However, the MOOSE framework allows to declare MOOSE cargo objects within the mission editor!!!
-- 
-- So, at mission startup, MOOSE will search for objects following a special naming convention, and will **create** for you **dynamically
-- cargo objects** at **mission start**!!! -- These cargo objects can then be automatically incorporated within cargo set(s)!!!
-- In other words, your mission will be reduced to about a few lines of code, providing you with a full dynamic cargo handling mission!
-- 
-- ## 5.1) Use \#CARGO tags in the mission editor:
-- 
-- MOOSE can create automatically cargo objects, if the name of the cargo contains the **\#CARGO** tag.
-- When a mission starts, MOOSE will scan all group and static objects it found for the presence of the \#CARGO tag.
-- When found, MOOSE will declare the object as cargo (create in the background a CARGO_ object, like CARGO_GROUP, CARGO_CRATE or CARGO_SLINGLOAD.
-- The creation of these CARGO_ objects will allow to be filtered and automatically added in SET_CARGO objects.
-- In other words, with very minimal code as explained in the above code section, you are able to create vast amounts of cargo objects just from within the editor.
-- 
-- What I talk about is this:
-- 
--      -- BEFORE THIS SCRIPT STARTS, MOOSE WILL ALREADY HAVE SCANNED FOR OBJECTS WITH THE #CARGO TAG IN THE NAME.
--      -- FOR EACH OF THESE OBJECT, MOOSE WILL HAVE CREATED CARGO_ OBJECTS LIKE CARGO_GROUP, CARGO_CRATE AND CARGO_SLINGLOAD.

--        :New( HQ, "Lima" )
--      
--      Mission = MISSION
--        :New( CommandCenter, "Operation Cargo Fun", "Tactical", "Transport Cargo", coalition.side.RED )
--      
--      TransportGroups = SET_GROUP:New():FilterCoalitions( "blue" ):FilterPrefixes( "Transport" ):FilterStart()
--      
--      TaskDispatcher = TASK_CARGO_DISPATCHER:New( Mission, TransportGroups )
--      
--      -- This is the most important now. You setup a new SET_CARGO filtering the relevant type.
--      -- The actual cargo objects are now created by MOOSE in the background.
--      -- Each cargo is setup in the Mission Editor using the #CARGO tag in the group name.
--      -- This allows a truly dynamic setup.
--      local CargoSetWorkmaterials = SET_CARGO:New():FilterTypes( "Workmaterials" ):FilterStart()
--      
--      local WorkplaceTask = TaskDispatcher:AddTransportTask( "Build a Workplace", CargoSetWorkmaterials, "Transport the workers, engineers and the equipment near the Workplace." )
--      TaskDispatcher:SetTransportDeployZone( WorkplaceTask, ZONE:New( "Workplace" ) )
--      
-- The above code example has the `CargoSetWorkmaterials`, which is a SET_CARGO collection and will include the CARGO_ objects of the type "Workmaterials".    
-- And there is NO cargo object actually declared within the script! However, if you would open the mission, there would be hundreds of cargo objects...
-- 
-- The \#CARGO tag even allows for several options to be specified, which are important to learn.
-- 
-- ## 5.2) The \#CARGO tag to create CARGO_GROUP objects:
-- 
-- You can also use the \#CARGO tag on **group** objects of the mission editor.
-- 
-- For example, the following #CARGO naming in the **group name** of the object, will create a CARGO_GROUP object when the mission starts.
-- 
--   `Infantry #CARGO(T=Workmaterials,RR=500,NR=25)`
-- 
-- This will create a CARGO_GROUP object:
-- 
--    * with the group name `Infantry #CARGO`
--    * is of type `Workmaterials`
--    * will report when a carrier is within 500 meters
--    * will board to carriers when the carrier is within 500 meters from the cargo object
--    * will dissapear when the cargo is within 25 meters from the carrier during boarding
-- 
-- So the overall syntax of the #CARGO naming tag and arguments are:
-- 
--   `GroupName #CARGO(T=CargoTypeName,RR=Range,NR=Range)`
-- 
--    * **T=** Provide a text that contains the type name of the cargo object. This type name can be used to filter cargo within a SET_CARGO object.
--    * **RR=** Provide the minimal range in meters when the report to the carrier, and board to the carrier.
--      Note that this option is optional, so can be omitted. The default value of the RR is 250 meters.
--    * **NR=** Provide the maximum range in meters when the cargo units will be boarded within the carrier during boarding.
--      Note that this option is optional, so can be omitted. The default value of the RR is 10 meters.
-- 
-- ## 5.2) The \#CARGO tag to create CARGO_CRATE objects:
-- 
-- You can also use the \#CARGO tag on **static** objects, including **static cargo** objects of the mission editor.
-- 
-- For example, the following #CARGO naming in the **static name** of the object, will create a CARGO_CRATE object when the mission starts.
-- 
--   `Static #CARGO(T=Workmaterials,RR=500,NR=25)`
-- 
-- This will create a CARGO_CRATE object:
-- 
--    * with the group name `Static #CARGO`
--    * is of type `Workmaterials`
--    * will report when a carrier is within 500 meters
--    * will board to carriers when the carrier is within 500 meters from the cargo object
--    * will dissapear when the cargo is within 25 meters from the carrier during boarding
-- 
-- So the overall syntax of the #CARGO naming tag and arguments are:
-- 
--   `StaticName #CARGO(T=CargoTypeName,RR=Range,NR=Range)`
-- 
--    * **T=** Provide a text that contains the type name of the cargo object. This type name can be used to filter cargo within a SET_CARGO object.
--    * **RR=** Provide the minimal range in meters when the report to the carrier, and board to the carrier.
--      Note that this option is optional, so can be omitted. The default value of the RR is 250 meters.
--    * **NR=** Provide the maximum range in meters when the cargo units will be boarded within the carrier during boarding.
--      Note that this option is optional, so can be omitted. The default value of the RR is 10 meters.

  --- Defines the core functions that defines a cargo object within MOOSE.
  -- 
  -- A cargo is a **logical object** defined that is available for transport, and has a life status within a simulation.
  -- 
  -- CARGO is not meant to be used directly by mission designers, but provides a base class for **concrete cargo implementation classes** to handle:
  -- 
  --   * Cargo **group objects**, implemented by the @{Cargo.CargoGroup#CARGO_GROUP} class.
  --   * Cargo **Unit objects**, implemented by the @{Cargo.CargoUnit#CARGO_UNIT} class.
  --   * Cargo **Crate objects**, implemented by the @{Cargo.CargoCrate#CARGO_CRATE} class.
  --   * Cargo **Sling Load objects**, implemented by the @{Cargo.CargoSlingload#CARGO_SLINGLOAD} class.
  --
  -- The above cargo classes are used by the AI\_CARGO\_ classes to allow AI groups to transport cargo:
  -- 
  --   * AI Armoured Personnel Carriers to transport cargo and engage in battles, using the @{AI.AI_Cargo_APC#AI_CARGO_APC} class.
  --   * AI Helicopters to transport cargo, using the @{AI.AI_Cargo_Helicopter#AI_CARGO_HELICOPTER} class.
  --   * AI Planes to transport cargo, using the @{AI.AI_Cargo_Plane#AI_CARGO_PLANE} class.
  --   * AI Ships is planned.
  -- 
  -- The above cargo classes are also used by the TASK\_CARGO\_ classes to allow human players to transport cargo as part of a tasking:
  -- 
  --   * @{Tasking.Task_Cargo_Transport#TASK_CARGO_TRANSPORT} to transport cargo by human players.
  --   * @{Tasking.Task_Cargo_Transport#TASK_CARGO_CSAR} to transport downed pilots by human players.
  -- 
  -- 
  -- The CARGO is a state machine: it manages the different events and states of the cargo.
  -- All derived classes from CARGO follow the same state machine, expose the same cargo event functions, and provide the same cargo states.
  -- 
  -- ## CARGO Events:
  -- 
  --   * @{#CARGO.Board}( ToCarrier ):  Boards the cargo to a carrier.
  --   * @{#CARGO.Load}( ToCarrier ): Loads the cargo into a carrier, regardless of its position.
  --   * @{#CARGO.UnBoard}( ToPointVec2 ): UnBoard the cargo from a carrier. This will trigger a movement of the cargo to the option ToPointVec2.
  --   * @{#CARGO.UnLoad}( ToPointVec2 ): UnLoads the cargo from a carrier.
  --   * @{#CARGO.Destroyed}( Controllable ): The cargo is dead. The cargo process will be ended.

-- 
-- ## Missions:
-- 
-- [SCO - Scoring](https://github.com/FlightControl-Master/MOOSE_MISSIONS/tree/master/SCO%20-%20Scoring)
-- 
-- ===
-- 
-- Administers the scoring of player achievements, 
-- and creates a CSV file logging the scoring events and results for use at team or squadron websites.
-- 
-- SCORING automatically calculates the threat level of the objects hit and destroyed by players, 
-- which can be @{Wrapper.Unit}, @{Static) and @{Scenery} objects.
-- 
-- Positive score points are granted when enemy or neutral targets are destroyed. 
-- Negative score points or penalties are given when a friendly target is hit or destroyed. 
-- This brings a lot of dynamism in the scoring, where players need to take care to inflict damage on the right target.
-- By default, penalties weight heavier in the scoring, to ensure that players don't commit fratricide.
-- The total score of the player is calculated by **adding the scores minus the penalties**.
-- 
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\SCORING\Dia4.JPG)
-- 
-- The score value is calculated based on the **threat level of the player** and the **threat level of the target**.
-- A calculated score takes the threat level of the target divided by a balanced threat level of the player unit.   
-- As such, if the threat level of the target is high, and the player threat level is low, a higher score will be given than 
-- if the threat level of the player would be high too.
-- 
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\SCORING\Dia5.JPG)
-- 
-- When multiple players hit the same target, and finally succeed in destroying the target, then each player who contributed to the target
-- destruction, will receive a score. This is important for targets that require significant damage before it can be destroyed, like
-- ships or heavy planes.
-- 
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\SCORING\Dia13.JPG)
-- 
-- Optionally, the score values can be **scaled** by a **scale**. Specific scales can be set for positive cores or negative penalties.
-- The default range of the scores granted is a value between 0 and 10. The default range of penalties given is a value between 0 and 30.
-- 
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\SCORING\Dia7.JPG)
-- 
-- **Additional scores** can be granted to **specific objects**, when the player(s) destroy these objects.
-- 
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\SCORING\Dia9.JPG)
-- 
-- Various @{Zone}s can be defined for which scores are also granted when objects in that @{Zone} are destroyed.
-- This is **specifically useful** to designate **scenery targets on the map** that will generate points when destroyed.
-- 
-- With a small change in MissionScripting.lua, the scoring results can also be logged in a **CSV file**.  
-- These CSV files can be used to:
-- 
--   * Upload scoring to a database or a BI tool to publish the scoring results to the player community.
--   * Upload scoring in an (online) Excel like tool, using pivot tables and pivot charts to show mission results.
--   * Share scoring amoung players after the mission to discuss mission results.
-- 
-- Scores can be **reported**. **Menu options** are automatically added to **each player group** when a player joins a client slot or a CA unit.
-- Use the radio menu F10 to consult the scores while running the mission. 
-- Scores can be reported for your user, or an overall score can be reported of all players currently active in the mission.

-- @image Scoring.JPG


--- @type SCORING
-- @field Players A collection of the current players that have joined the game.
-- @extends Core.Base#BASE

--- SCORING class
-- 
-- # Constructor:
-- 
--      local Scoring = SCORING:New( "Scoring File" )
--       
-- 
-- # Set the destroy score or penalty scale:
-- 
-- Score scales can be set for scores granted when enemies or friendlies are destroyed.
-- Use the method @{#SCORING.SetScaleDestroyScore}() to set the scale of enemy destroys (positive destroys). 
-- Use the method @{#SCORING.SetScaleDestroyPenalty}() to set the scale of friendly destroys (negative destroys).
-- 
--      local Scoring = SCORING:New( "Scoring File" )
--      Scoring:SetScaleDestroyScore( 10 )
--      Scoring:SetScaleDestroyPenalty( 40 )
--      
-- The above sets the scale for valid scores to 10. So scores will be given in a scale from 0 to 10.
-- The penalties will be given in a scale from 0 to 40.
-- 
-- # Define special targets that will give extra scores:
-- 
-- Special targets can be set that will give extra scores to the players when these are destroyed.
-- Use the methods @{#SCORING.AddUnitScore}() and @{#SCORING.RemoveUnitScore}() to specify a special additional score for a specific @{Wrapper.Unit}s.  
-- Use the methods @{#SCORING.AddStaticScore}() and @{#SCORING.RemoveStaticScore}() to specify a special additional score for a specific @{Static}s.  
-- Use the method @{#SCORING.SetGroupGroup}() to specify a special additional score for a specific @{Wrapper.Group}s.  
-- 
--      local Scoring = SCORING:New( "Scoring File" )
--      Scoring:AddUnitScore( UNIT:FindByName( "Unit #001" ), 200 )
--      Scoring:AddStaticScore( STATIC:FindByName( "Static #1" ), 100 )
--      
-- The above grants an additional score of 200 points for Unit #001 and an additional 100 points of Static #1 if these are destroyed.
-- Note that later in the mission, one can remove these scores set, for example, when the a goal achievement time limit is over.
-- For example, this can be done as follows:
-- 
--      Scoring:RemoveUnitScore( UNIT:FindByName( "Unit #001" ) )
-- 
-- # Define destruction zones that will give extra scores:
-- 
-- Define zones of destruction. Any object destroyed within the zone of the given category will give extra points.
-- Use the method @{#SCORING.AddZoneScore}() to add a @{Zone} for additional scoring.  
-- Use the method @{#SCORING.RemoveZoneScore}() to remove a @{Zone} for additional scoring.  
-- There are interesting variations that can be achieved with this functionality. For example, if the @{Zone} is a @{Core.Zone#ZONE_UNIT}, 
-- then the zone is a moving zone, and anything destroyed within that @{Zone} will generate points.
-- The other implementation could be to designate a scenery target (a building) in the mission editor surrounded by a @{Zone}, 
-- just large enough around that building.
-- 
-- # Add extra Goal scores upon an event or a condition:
-- 
-- A mission has goals and achievements. The scoring system provides an API to set additional scores when a goal or achievement event happens.
-- Use the method @{#SCORING.AddGoalScore}() to add a score for a Player at any time in your mission.
-- 
-- # (Decommissioned) Configure fratricide level.
-- 
-- **This functionality is decomissioned until the DCS bug concerning Unit:destroy() not being functional in multi player for player units has been fixed by ED**.
-- 
-- When a player commits too much damage to friendlies, his penalty score will reach a certain level.
-- Use the method @{#SCORING.SetFratricide}() to define the level when a player gets kicked.  
-- By default, the fratricide level is the default penalty mutiplier * 2 for the penalty score.
-- 
-- # Penalty score when a player changes the coalition.
-- 
-- When a player changes the coalition, he can receive a penalty score.
-- Use the method @{#SCORING.SetCoalitionChangePenalty}() to define the penalty when a player changes coalition.
-- By default, the penalty for changing coalition is the default penalty scale.  
-- 
-- # Define output CSV files.
-- 
-- The CSV file is given the name of the string given in the @{#SCORING.New}{} constructor, followed by the .csv extension.
-- The file is incrementally saved in the **<User>\\Saved Games\\DCS\\Logs** folder, and has a time stamp indicating each mission run.
-- See the following example:
-- 
--     local ScoringFirstMission = SCORING:New( "FirstMission" )
--     local ScoringSecondMission = SCORING:New( "SecondMission" )
--     
-- The above documents that 2 Scoring objects are created, ScoringFirstMission and ScoringSecondMission. 
-- 
-- ### **IMPORTANT!!!*  
-- In order to allow DCS world to write CSV files, you need to adapt a configuration file in your DCS world installation **on the server**.
-- For this, browse to the **missionscripting.lua** file in your DCS world installation folder.
-- For me, this installation folder is in _D:\\Program Files\\Eagle Dynamics\\DCS World\Scripts_.
-- 
-- Edit a few code lines in the MissionScripting.lua file. Comment out the lines **os**, **io** and **lfs**:
-- 
--        do
--          --sanitizeModule('os')
--          --sanitizeModule('io')
--          --sanitizeModule('lfs')
--          require = nil
--          loadlib = nil
--        end
-- 
-- When these lines are not sanitized, functions become available to check the time, and to write files to your system at the above specified location.  
-- Note that the MissionScripting.lua file provides a warning. So please beware of this warning as outlined by Eagle Dynamics!
-- 
--        --Sanitize Mission Scripting environment
--        --This makes unavailable some unsecure functions. 
--        --Mission downloaded from server to client may contain potentialy harmful lua code that may use these functions.
--        --You can remove the code below and make availble these functions at your own risk.
-- 
-- The MOOSE designer cannot take any responsibility of any damage inflicted as a result of the de-sanitization.
-- That being said, I hope that the SCORING class provides you with a great add-on to score your squad mates achievements.
-- 
-- # Configure messages.
-- 
-- When players hit or destroy targets, messages are sent.
-- Various methods exist to configure:
-- 
--   * Which messages are sent upon the event.
--   * Which audience receives the message.
-- 
-- ## Configure the messages sent upon the event.
-- 
-- Use the following methods to configure when to send messages. By default, all messages are sent.
-- 
--   * @{#SCORING.SetMessagesHit}(): Configure to send messages after a target has been hit.
--   * @{#SCORING.SetMessagesDestroy}(): Configure to send messages after a target has been destroyed.
--   * @{#SCORING.SetMessagesAddon}(): Configure to send messages for additional score, after a target has been destroyed.
--   * @{#SCORING.SetMessagesZone}(): Configure to send messages for additional score, after a target has been destroyed within a given zone.
--   
-- ## Configure the audience of the messages.
-- 
-- Use the following methods to configure the audience of the messages. By default, the messages are sent to all players in the mission.
-- 
--   * @{#SCORING.SetMessagesToAll}(): Configure to send messages to all players.
--   * @{#SCORING.SetMessagesToCoalition}(): Configure to send messages to only those players within the same coalition as the player.

--- **Functional** -- Keep airbases clean of crashing or colliding airplanes, and kill missiles when being fired at airbases.
-- 
-- ===
-- 
-- ## Features:
-- 
-- 
--  * Try to keep the airbase clean and operational.
--  * Prevent airplanes from crashing.
--  * Clean up obstructing airplanes from the runway that are standing still for a period of time.
--  * Prevent airplanes firing missiles within the airbase zone.
-- 
-- ===
-- 
-- ## Missions:
-- 
-- [CLA - CleanUp Airbase](https://github.com/FlightControl-Master/MOOSE_MISSIONS/tree/master/CLA%20-%20CleanUp%20Airbase)
-- 
-- ===
-- 
-- Specific airbases need to be provided that need to be guarded. Each airbase registered, will be guarded within a zone of 8 km around the airbase.
-- Any unit that fires a missile, or shoots within the zone of an airbase, will be monitored by CLEANUP_AIRBASE.
-- Within the 8km zone, units cannot fire any missile, which prevents the airbase runway to receive missile or bomb hits. 
-- Any airborne or ground unit that is on the runway below 30 meters (default value) will be automatically removed if it is damaged.
-- 
-- This is not a full 100% secure implementation. It is still possible that CLEANUP_AIRBASE cannot prevent (in-time) to keep the airbase clean.
-- The following situations may happen that will still stop the runway of an airbase:
-- 
--   * A damaged unit is not removed on time when above the runway, and crashes on the runway.
--   * A bomb or missile is still able to dropped on the runway.
--   * Units collide on the airbase, and could not be removed on time.
--   
-- When a unit is within the airbase zone and needs to be monitored,
-- its status will be checked every 0.25 seconds! This is required to ensure that the airbase is kept clean.
-- But as a result, there is more CPU overload.
-- 
-- So as an advise, I suggest you use the CLEANUP_AIRBASE class with care:
-- 
--   * Only monitor airbases that really need to be monitored!
--   * Try not to monitor airbases that are likely to be invaded by enemy troops.
--     For these airbases, there is little use to keep them clean, as they will be invaded anyway...
--     
-- By following the above guidelines, you can add airbase cleanup with acceptable CPU overhead.

-- 
-- ## Missions:
-- 
-- [ESC - Escorting](https://github.com/FlightControl-Master/MOOSE_MISSIONS/tree/master/ESC%20-%20Escorting)
-- 
-- ===
-- 
-- Allows you to interact with escorting AI on your flight and take the lead.
-- 
-- Each escorting group can be commanded with a whole set of radio commands (radio menu in your flight, and then F10).
--
-- The radio commands will vary according the category of the group. The richest set of commands are with Helicopters and AirPlanes.
-- Ships and Ground troops will have a more limited set, but they can provide support through the bombing of targets designated by the other escorts.
--
-- # RADIO MENUs that can be created:
-- 
-- Find a summary below of the current available commands:
--
-- ## Navigation ...:
-- 
-- Escort group navigation functions:
--
--   * **"Join-Up and Follow at x meters":** The escort group fill follow you at about x meters, and they will follow you.
--   * **"Flare":** Provides menu commands to let the escort group shoot a flare in the air in a color.
--   * **"Smoke":** Provides menu commands to let the escort group smoke the air in a color. Note that smoking is only available for ground and naval troops.
--
-- ## Hold position ...:
-- 
-- Escort group navigation functions:
--
--   * **"At current location":** Stops the escort group and they will hover 30 meters above the ground at the position they stopped.
--   * **"At client location":** Stops the escort group and they will hover 30 meters above the ground at the position they stopped.
--
-- ## Report targets ...:
-- 
-- Report targets will make the escort group to report any target that it identifies within a 8km range. Any detected target can be attacked using the 4. Attack nearby targets function. (see below).
--
--   * **"Report now":** Will report the current detected targets.
--   * **"Report targets on":** Will make the escort group to report detected targets and will fill the "Attack nearby targets" menu list.
--   * **"Report targets off":** Will stop detecting targets.
--
-- ## Scan targets ...:
-- 
-- Menu items to pop-up the escort group for target scanning. After scanning, the escort group will resume with the mission or defined task.
--
--   * **"Scan targets 30 seconds":** Scan 30 seconds for targets.
--   * **"Scan targets 60 seconds":** Scan 60 seconds for targets.
--
-- ## Attack targets ...:
-- 
-- This menu item will list all detected targets within a 15km range. Depending on the level of detection (known/unknown) and visuality, the targets type will also be listed.
--
-- ## Request assistance from ...:
-- 
-- This menu item will list all detected targets within a 15km range, as with the menu item **Attack Targets**.
-- This menu item allows to request attack support from other escorts supporting the current client group.
-- eg. the function allows a player to request support from the Ship escort to attack a target identified by the Plane escort with its Tomahawk missiles.
-- eg. the function allows a player to request support from other Planes escorting to bomb the unit with illumination missiles or bombs, so that the main plane escort can attack the area.
--
-- ## ROE ...:
-- 
-- Sets the Rules of Engagement (ROE) of the escort group when in flight.
--
--   * **"Hold Fire":** The escort group will hold fire.
--   * **"Return Fire":** The escort group will return fire.
--   * **"Open Fire":** The escort group will open fire on designated targets.
--   * **"Weapon Free":** The escort group will engage with any target.
--
-- ## Evasion ...:
-- 
-- Will define the evasion techniques that the escort group will perform during flight or combat.
--
--   * **"Fight until death":** The escort group will have no reaction to threats.
--   * **"Use flares, chaff and jammers":** The escort group will use passive defense using flares and jammers. No evasive manoeuvres are executed.
--   * **"Evade enemy fire":** The rescort group will evade enemy fire before firing.
--   * **"Go below radar and evade fire":** The escort group will perform evasive vertical manoeuvres.
--
-- ## Resume Mission ...:
-- 
-- Escort groups can have their own mission. This menu item will allow the escort group to resume their Mission from a given waypoint.
-- Note that this is really fantastic, as you now have the dynamic of taking control of the escort groups, and allowing them to resume their path or mission.

--- **Functional** -- Train missile defence and deflection.
-- 
-- ===
--
-- ## Features:
-- 
--   * Track the missiles fired at you and other players, providing bearing and range information of the missiles towards the airplanes.
--   * Provide alerts of missile launches, including detailed information of the units launching, including bearing, range �
--   * Provide alerts when a missile would have killed your aircraft.
--   * Provide alerts when the missile self destructs.
--   * Enable / Disable and Configure the Missile Trainer using the various menu options.
-- 
-- ===
-- 
-- ## Missions:
-- 
-- [MIT - Missile Trainer](https://github.com/FlightControl-Master/MOOSE_MISSIONS/tree/master/MIT%20-%20Missile%20Trainer)
-- 
-- ===
-- 
-- Uses the MOOSE messaging system to be alerted of any missiles fired, and when a missile would hit your aircraft,
-- the class will destroy the missile within a certain range, to avoid damage to your aircraft.
--  
-- When running a mission where the missile trainer is used, the following radio menu structure ( 'Radio Menu' -> 'Other (F10)' -> 'MissileTrainer' ) options are available for the players:
--  
--  * **Messages**: Menu to configure all messages.
--     * **Messages On**: Show all messages.
--     * **Messages Off**: Disable all messages.
--  * **Tracking**: Menu to configure missile tracking messages.
--     * **To All**: Shows missile tracking messages to all players.
--     * **To Target**: Shows missile tracking messages only to the player where the missile is targetted at.
--     * **Tracking On**: Show missile tracking messages.
--     * **Tracking Off**: Disable missile tracking messages.
--     * **Frequency Increase**: Increases the missile tracking message frequency with one second.
--     * **Frequency Decrease**: Decreases the missile tracking message frequency with one second.
--  * **Alerts**: Menu to configure alert messages.
--     * **To All**: Shows alert messages to all players.
--     * **To Target**: Shows alert messages only to the player where the missile is (was) targetted at.
--     * **Hits On**: Show missile hit alert messages.
--     * **Hits Off**: Disable missile hit alert messages.
--     * **Launches On**: Show missile launch messages.
--     * **Launches Off**: Disable missile launch messages.
--  * **Details**: Menu to configure message details.
--     * **Range On**: Shows range information when a missile is fired to a target.
--     * **Range Off**: Disable range information when a missile is fired to a target.
--     * **Bearing On**: Shows bearing information when a missile is fired to a target.
--     * **Bearing Off**: Disable bearing information when a missile is fired to a target.
--  * **Distance**: Menu to configure the distance when a missile needs to be destroyed when near to a player, during tracking. This will improve/influence hit calculation accuracy, but has the risk of damaging the aircraft when the missile reaches the aircraft before the distance is measured. 
--     * **50 meter**: Destroys the missile when the distance to the aircraft is below or equal to 50 meter.
--     * **100 meter**: Destroys the missile when the distance to the aircraft is below or equal to 100 meter.
--     * **150 meter**: Destroys the missile when the distance to the aircraft is below or equal to 150 meter.
--     * **200 meter**: Destroys the missile when the distance to the aircraft is below or equal to 200 meter.

-- ### Authors: **FlightControl**
-- 
-- ### Contributions:
-- 
--    * **Stuka (Danny)**: Who you can search on the Eagle Dynamics Forums. Working together with Danny has resulted in the MISSILETRAINER class.  
--      Danny has shared his ideas and together we made a design. 
--      Together with the **476 virtual team**, we tested the MISSILETRAINER class, and got much positive feedback!
--    * **132nd Squadron**: Testing and optimizing the logic.

--- @type MISSILETRAINER
-- @field Core.Set#SET_CLIENT DBClients
-- @extends Core.Base#BASE


---
--
-- # Constructor:
-- 
-- Create a new MISSILETRAINER object with the @{#MISSILETRAINER.New} method:
--
--   * @{#MISSILETRAINER.New}: Creates a new MISSILETRAINER object taking the maximum distance to your aircraft to evaluate when a missile needs to be destroyed.
--
-- MISSILETRAINER will collect each unit declared in the mission with a skill level "Client" and "Player", and will monitor the missiles shot at those.
--
-- # Initialization:
-- 
-- A MISSILETRAINER object will behave differently based on the usage of initialization methods:
--
--  * @{#MISSILETRAINER.InitMessagesOnOff}: Sets by default the display of any message to be ON or OFF.
--  * @{#MISSILETRAINER.InitTrackingToAll}: Sets by default the missile tracking report for all players or only for those missiles targetted to you.
--  * @{#MISSILETRAINER.InitTrackingOnOff}: Sets by default the display of missile tracking report to be ON or OFF.
--  * @{#MISSILETRAINER.InitTrackingFrequency}: Increases, decreases the missile tracking message display frequency with the provided time interval in seconds.
--  * @{#MISSILETRAINER.InitAlertsToAll}: Sets by default the display of alerts to be shown to all players or only to you.
--  * @{#MISSILETRAINER.InitAlertsHitsOnOff}: Sets by default the display of hit alerts ON or OFF.
--  * @{#MISSILETRAINER.InitAlertsLaunchesOnOff}: Sets by default the display of launch alerts ON or OFF.
--  * @{#MISSILETRAINER.InitRangeOnOff}: Sets by default the display of range information of missiles ON of OFF.
--  * @{#MISSILETRAINER.InitBearingOnOff}: Sets by default the display of bearing information of missiles ON of OFF.
--  * @{#MISSILETRAINER.InitMenusOnOff}: Allows to configure the options through the radio menu.

--- # ATC\_GROUND\_CAUCASUS, extends @{#ATC_GROUND}
-- 
-- The ATC\_GROUND\_CAUCASUS class monitors the speed of the airplanes at the airbase during taxi.
-- The pilots may not drive faster than the maximum speed for the airbase, or they will be despawned.
-- 
-- ---
--
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\ATC_GROUND\Dia1.JPG)
--
-- ---
--  
-- The default maximum speed for the airbases at Caucasus is **50 km/h**. Warnings are given if this speed limit is trespassed.
-- Players will be immediately kicked when driving faster than **150 km/h** on the taxi way.
-- 
-- 
-- The pilot will receive 3 times a warning during speeding. After the 3rd warning, if the pilot is still driving
-- faster than the maximum allowed speed, the pilot will be kicked.
-- 
-- Different airbases have different maximum speeds, according safety regulations.
-- 
-- # Airbases monitored
-- 
-- The following airbases are monitored at the Caucasus region.
-- Use the @{Wrapper.Airbase#AIRBASE.Caucasus} enumeration to select the airbases to be monitored.
-- 
--   * `AIRBASE.Caucasus.Anapa_Vityazevo`
--   * `AIRBASE.Caucasus.Batumi`
--   * `AIRBASE.Caucasus.Beslan`

-- # Installation
-- 
-- ## In Single Player Missions
-- 
-- ATC\_GROUND is fully functional in single player.
-- 
-- ## In Multi Player Missions
-- 
-- ATC\_GROUND is functional in multi player, however ...
-- 
-- Due to a bug in DCS since release 1.5, the despawning of clients are not anymore working in multi player.
-- To **work around this problem**, a much better solution has been made, using the **slot blocker** script designed
-- by Ciribob. 
-- 
-- With the help of __Ciribob__, this script has been extended to also kick client players while in flight.
-- ATC\_GROUND is communicating with this modified script to kick players!
-- 
-- Install the file **SimpleSlotBlockGameGUI.lua** on the server, following the installation instructions described by Ciribob.
-- 
-- [Simple Slot Blocker from Ciribob & FlightControl](https://github.com/ciribob/DCS-SimpleSlotBlock)
-- 
-- # Script it!
-- 
-- ## 1. ATC\_GROUND\_CAUCASUS Constructor
-- 
-- Creates a new ATC_GROUND_CAUCASUS object that will monitor pilots taxiing behaviour.
-- 
--     -- This creates a new ATC_GROUND_CAUCASUS object.
-- 
--     -- Monitor all the airbases.
--     ATC_Ground = ATC_GROUND_CAUCASUS:New()
--     
--     -- Monitor specific airbases only.
-- 
--     ATC_Ground = ATC_GROUND_CAUCASUS:New(
--       { AIRBASE.Caucasus.Gelendzhik,     
--         AIRBASE.Caucasus.Krymsk          
--       }                                  
--     )                                    
-- 
-- ## 2. Set various options
-- 
-- There are various methods that you can use to tweak the behaviour of the ATC\_GROUND classes.
-- 
-- ### 2.1 Speed limit at an airbase.
-- 
--   * @{#ATC_GROUND.SetKickSpeed}(): Set the speed limit allowed at an airbase in meters per second.
--   * @{#ATC_GROUND.SetKickSpeedKmph}(): Set the speed limit allowed at an airbase in kilometers per hour.
--   * @{#ATC_GROUND.SetKickSpeedMiph}(): Set the speed limit allowed at an airbase in miles per hour.
--   
-- ### 2.2 Prevent Takeoff at an airbase. Players will be kicked immediately.
-- 
--   * @{#ATC_GROUND.SetMaximumKickSpeed}(): Set the maximum speed allowed at an airbase in meters per second. 
--   * @{#ATC_GROUND.SetMaximumKickSpeedKmph}(): Set the maximum speed allowed at an airbase in kilometers per hour.
--   * @{#ATC_GROUND.SetMaximumKickSpeedMiph}(): Set the maximum speed allowed at an airbase in miles per hour.

-- The ATC\_GROUND\_NEVADA class monitors the speed of the airplanes at the airbase during taxi.
-- The pilots may not drive faster than the maximum speed for the airbase, or they will be despawned.

-- 
-- The default maximum speed for the airbases at Nevada is **50 km/h**. Warnings are given if this speed limit is trespassed.
-- Players will be immediately kicked when driving faster than **150 km/h** on the taxi way.
-- 
-- The ATC\_GROUND\_NEVADA class monitors the speed of the airplanes at the airbase during taxi.
-- The pilots may not drive faster than the maximum speed for the airbase, or they will be despawned.
-- 
-- The pilot will receive 3 times a warning during speeding. After the 3rd warning, if the pilot is still driving
-- faster than the maximum allowed speed, the pilot will be kicked.
-- 
-- Different airbases have different maximum speeds, according safety regulations.

-- # Installation
-- 
-- ## In Single Player Missions
-- 
-- ATC\_GROUND is fully functional in single player.
-- 
-- ## In Multi Player Missions
-- 
-- ATC\_GROUND is functional in multi player, however ...
-- 
-- Due to a bug in DCS since release 1.5, the despawning of clients are not anymore working in multi player.
-- To **work around this problem**, a much better solution has been made, using the **slot blocker** script designed
-- by Ciribob. 
-- 
-- With the help of __Ciribob__, this script has been extended to also kick client players while in flight.
-- ATC\_GROUND is communicating with this modified script to kick players!
-- 
-- Install the file **SimpleSlotBlockGameGUI.lua** on the server, following the installation instructions described by Ciribob.
-- 
-- [Simple Slot Blocker from Ciribob & FlightControl](https://github.com/ciribob/DCS-SimpleSlotBlock)
-- 
-- # Script it!
-- 
-- ## 1. ATC_GROUND_NEVADA Constructor
-- 
-- Creates a new ATC_GROUND_NEVADA object that will monitor pilots taxiing behaviour.
-- 
--     -- This creates a new ATC_GROUND_NEVADA object.
-- 
--     -- Monitor all the airbases.
--     ATC_Ground = ATC_GROUND_NEVADA:New()
-- 
--    
--     -- Monitor specific airbases.
--     ATC_Ground = ATC_GROUND_NEVADA:New(              
--       { AIRBASE.Nevada.Laughlin_Airport,                        
--         AIRBASE.Nevada.Lincoln_County,

-- 
-- ## 2. Set various options
-- 
-- There are various methods that you can use to tweak the behaviour of the ATC\_GROUND classes.
-- 
-- ### 2.1 Speed limit at an airbase.
-- 
--   * @{#ATC_GROUND.SetKickSpeed}(): Set the speed limit allowed at an airbase in meters per second.
--   * @{#ATC_GROUND.SetKickSpeedKmph}(): Set the speed limit allowed at an airbase in kilometers per hour.
--   * @{#ATC_GROUND.SetKickSpeedMiph}(): Set the speed limit allowed at an airbase in miles per hour.
--   
-- ### 2.2 Prevent Takeoff at an airbase. Players will be kicked immediately.
-- 
--   * @{#ATC_GROUND.SetMaximumKickSpeed}(): Set the maximum speed allowed at an airbase in meters per second. 
--   * @{#ATC_GROUND.SetMaximumKickSpeedKmph}(): Set the maximum speed allowed at an airbase in kilometers per hour.
--   * @{#ATC_GROUND.SetMaximumKickSpeedMiph}(): Set the maximum speed allowed at an airbase in miles per hour.

  -- When new airbases are added or airbases are changed on the map,

  -- in the Airbases structure.
  -- So, this needs to stay commented normally once a map has been finished.

-- 
-- The ATC\_GROUND\_NORMANDY class monitors the speed of the airplanes at the airbase during taxi.
-- The pilots may not drive faster than the maximum speed for the airbase, or they will be despawned.
-- 
-- ---
-- 
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\ATC_GROUND\Dia1.JPG)
-- 
-- ---
-- 
-- The default maximum speed for the airbases at Normandy is **40 km/h**. Warnings are given if this speed limit is trespassed.
-- Players will be immediately kicked when driving faster than **100 km/h** on the taxi way.
-- 
-- The ATC\_GROUND\_NORMANDY class monitors the speed of the airplanes at the airbase during taxi.
-- The pilots may not drive faster than the maximum speed for the airbase, or they will be despawned.
-- 
-- The pilot will receive 3 times a warning during speeding. After the 3rd warning, if the pilot is still driving
-- faster than the maximum allowed speed, the pilot will be kicked.
-- 
-- Different airbases have different maximum speeds, according safety regulations.
-- 
-- # Airbases monitored
-- 
-- The following airbases are monitored at the Normandy region.
-- Use the @{Wrapper.Airbase#AIRBASE.Normandy} enumeration to select the airbases to be monitored.

-- # Installation
-- 
-- ## In Single Player Missions
-- 
-- ATC\_GROUND is fully functional in single player.
-- 
-- ## In Multi Player Missions
-- 
-- ATC\_GROUND is functional in multi player, however ...
-- 
-- Due to a bug in DCS since release 1.5, the despawning of clients are not anymore working in multi player.
-- To **work around this problem**, a much better solution has been made, using the **slot blocker** script designed
-- by Ciribob. 
-- 
-- With the help of __Ciribob__, this script has been extended to also kick client players while in flight.
-- ATC\_GROUND is communicating with this modified script to kick players!
-- 
-- Install the file **SimpleSlotBlockGameGUI.lua** on the server, following the installation instructions described by Ciribob.
-- 
-- [Simple Slot Blocker from Ciribob & FlightControl](https://github.com/ciribob/DCS-SimpleSlotBlock)
-- 
-- # Script it!
-- 
-- ## 1. ATC_GROUND_NORMANDY Constructor
-- 
-- Creates a new ATC_GROUND_NORMANDY object that will monitor pilots taxiing behaviour.
-- 
--     -- This creates a new ATC_GROUND_NORMANDY object.
-- 
--     -- Monitor for these clients the airbases.
--     AirbasePoliceCaucasus = ATC_GROUND_NORMANDY:New()
--     
--     ATC_Ground = ATC_GROUND_NORMANDY:New( 
--       { AIRBASE.Normandy.Chippelle,
--         AIRBASE.Normandy.Beuzeville 
--       } 
--     )
-- 
--     
-- ## 2. Set various options
-- 
-- There are various methods that you can use to tweak the behaviour of the ATC\_GROUND classes.
-- 
-- ### 2.1 Speed limit at an airbase.
-- 
--   * @{#ATC_GROUND.SetKickSpeed}(): Set the speed limit allowed at an airbase in meters per second.
--   * @{#ATC_GROUND.SetKickSpeedKmph}(): Set the speed limit allowed at an airbase in kilometers per hour.
--   * @{#ATC_GROUND.SetKickSpeedMiph}(): Set the speed limit allowed at an airbase in miles per hour.
--   
-- ### 2.2 Prevent Takeoff at an airbase. Players will be kicked immediately.
-- 
--   * @{#ATC_GROUND.SetMaximumKickSpeed}(): Set the maximum speed allowed at an airbase in meters per second. 
--   * @{#ATC_GROUND.SetMaximumKickSpeedKmph}(): Set the maximum speed allowed at an airbase in kilometers per hour.
--   * @{#ATC_GROUND.SetMaximumKickSpeedMiph}(): Set the maximum speed allowed at an airbase in miles per hour.

  -- These lines here are for the demonstration mission.
  -- They create in the dcs.log the coordinates of the runway polygons, that are then
  -- taken by the moose designer from the dcs.log and reworked to define the
  -- Airbases structure, which is part of the class.
  -- When new airbases are added or airbases are changed on the map,
  -- the MOOSE designer willde-comment this section and apply the changes in the demo
  -- mission, and do a re-run to create a new dcs.log, and then add the changed coordinates
  -- in the Airbases structure.
  -- So, this needs to stay commented normally once a map has been finished.

-- The default maximum speed for the airbases at Persian Gulf is **50 km/h**. Warnings are given if this speed limit is trespassed.
-- Players will be immediately kicked when driving faster than **150 km/h** on the taxi way.
-- 
-- The ATC\_GROUND\_PERSIANGULF class monitors the speed of the airplanes at the airbase during taxi.
-- The pilots may not drive faster than the maximum speed for the airbase, or they will be despawned.
-- 
-- The pilot will receive 3 times a warning during speeding. After the 3rd warning, if the pilot is still driving
-- faster than the maximum allowed speed, the pilot will be kicked.
-- 
-- Different airbases have different maximum speeds, according safety regulations.

-- # Installation
-- 
-- ## In Single Player Missions
-- 
-- ATC\_GROUND is fully functional in single player.
-- 
-- ## In Multi Player Missions
-- 
-- ATC\_GROUND is functional in multi player, however ...
-- 
-- Due to a bug in DCS since release 1.5, the despawning of clients are not anymore working in multi player.
-- To **work around this problem**, a much better solution has been made, using the **slot blocker** script designed
-- by Ciribob. 
-- 
-- With the help of __Ciribob__, this script has been extended to also kick client players while in flight.
-- ATC\_GROUND is communicating with this modified script to kick players!
-- 
-- Install the file **SimpleSlotBlockGameGUI.lua** on the server, following the installation instructions described by Ciribob.
-- 
-- [Simple Slot Blocker from Ciribob & FlightControl](https://github.com/ciribob/DCS-SimpleSlotBlock)
-- 
-- # Script it!
-- 
-- ## 1. ATC_GROUND_PERSIANGULF Constructor
-- 
-- Creates a new ATC_GROUND_PERSIANGULF object that will monitor pilots taxiing behaviour.
-- 
--     -- This creates a new ATC_GROUND_PERSIANGULF object.
-- 
--     -- Monitor for these clients the airbases.
--     AirbasePoliceCaucasus = ATC_GROUND_PERSIANGULF:New()
--     
--     ATC_Ground = ATC_GROUND_PERSIANGULF:New( 
--       { AIRBASE.PersianGulf.Kerman_Airport,
--         AIRBASE.PersianGulf.Al_Minhad_AB 
--       } 
--     )
-- 
--     
-- ## 2. Set various options
-- 
-- There are various methods that you can use to tweak the behaviour of the ATC\_GROUND classes.
-- 
-- ### 2.1 Speed limit at an airbase.
-- 
--   * @{#ATC_GROUND.SetKickSpeed}(): Set the speed limit allowed at an airbase in meters per second.
--   * @{#ATC_GROUND.SetKickSpeedKmph}(): Set the speed limit allowed at an airbase in kilometers per hour.
--   * @{#ATC_GROUND.SetKickSpeedMiph}(): Set the speed limit allowed at an airbase in miles per hour.
--   
-- ### 2.2 Prevent Takeoff at an airbase. Players will be kicked immediately.
-- 
--   * @{#ATC_GROUND.SetMaximumKickSpeed}(): Set the maximum speed allowed at an airbase in meters per second. 
--   * @{#ATC_GROUND.SetMaximumKickSpeedKmph}(): Set the maximum speed allowed at an airbase in kilometers per hour.
--   * @{#ATC_GROUND.SetMaximumKickSpeedMiph}(): Set the maximum speed allowed at an airbase in miles per hour.

  -- These lines here are for the demonstration mission.
  -- They create in the dcs.log the coordinates of the runway polygons, that are then
  -- taken by the moose designer from the dcs.log and reworked to define the
  -- Airbases structure, which is part of the class.
  -- When new airbases are added or airbases are changed on the map,
  -- the MOOSE designer willde-comment this section and apply the changes in the demo
  -- mission, and do a re-run to create a new dcs.log, and then add the changed coordinates
  -- in the Airbases structure.
  -- So, this needs to stay commented normally once a map has been finished.

do -- DETECTION_BASE

  --- @type DETECTION_BASE
  -- @field Core.Set#SET_GROUP DetectionSetGroup The @{Set} of GROUPs in the Forward Air Controller role.
  -- @field DCS#Distance DetectionRange The range till which targets are accepted to be detected.
  -- @field #DETECTION_BASE.DetectedObjects DetectedObjects The list of detected objects.
  -- @field #table DetectedObjectsIdentified Map of the DetectedObjects identified.
  -- @field #number DetectionRun
  -- @extends Core.Fsm#FSM
  
  --- Defines the core functions to administer detected objects.
  -- The DETECTION_BASE class will detect objects within the battle zone for a list of @{Wrapper.Group}s detecting targets following (a) detection method(s).
  -- 
  -- ## DETECTION_BASE constructor
  -- 
  -- Construct a new DETECTION_BASE instance using the @{#DETECTION_BASE.New}() method.
  -- 
  -- ## Initialization
  -- 
  -- By default, detection will return detected objects with all the detection sensors available.
  -- However, you can ask how the objects were found with specific detection methods. 
  -- If you use one of the below methods, the detection will work with the detection method specified.
  -- You can specify to apply multiple detection methods.
  -- 
  -- Use the following functions to report the objects it detected using the methods Visual, Optical, Radar, IRST, RWR, DLINK:
  -- 
  --   * @{#DETECTION_BASE.InitDetectVisual}(): Detected using Visual.
  --   * @{#DETECTION_BASE.InitDetectOptical}(): Detected using Optical.
  --   * @{#DETECTION_BASE.InitDetectRadar}(): Detected using Radar.
  --   * @{#DETECTION_BASE.InitDetectIRST}(): Detected using IRST.
  --   * @{#DETECTION_BASE.InitDetectRWR}(): Detected using RWR.
  --   * @{#DETECTION_BASE.InitDetectDLINK}(): Detected using DLINK.
  -- 
  -- ## **Filter** detected units based on **category of the unit**
  -- 
  -- Filter the detected units based on Unit.Category using the method @{#DETECTION_BASE.FilterCategories}().  
  -- The different values of Unit.Category can be:
  -- 
  --   * Unit.Category.AIRPLANE
  --   * Unit.Category.GROUND_UNIT
  --   * Unit.Category.HELICOPTER
  --   * Unit.Category.SHIP
  --   * Unit.Category.STRUCTURE
  --   
  -- Multiple Unit.Category entries can be given as a table and then these will be evaluated as an OR expression.
  -- 
  -- Example to filter a single category (Unit.Category.AIRPLANE).
  -- 
  --     DetectionObject:FilterCategories( Unit.Category.AIRPLANE ) 
  -- 
  -- Example to filter multiple categories (Unit.Category.AIRPLANE, Unit.Category.HELICOPTER). Note the {}.
  -- 
  --     DetectionObject:FilterCategories( { Unit.Category.AIRPLANE, Unit.Category.HELICOPTER } )
  -- 
  -- 
  -- ## **DETECTION_ derived classes** group the detected units into a **DetectedItems[]** list
  -- 
  -- DETECTION_BASE derived classes build a list called DetectedItems[], which is essentially a first later 
  -- of grouping of detected units. Each DetectedItem within the DetectedItems[] list contains
  -- a SET_UNIT object that contains the  detected units that belong to that group.
  -- 
  -- Derived classes will apply different methods to group the detected units. 
  -- Examples are per area, per quadrant, per distance, per type.
  -- See further the derived DETECTION classes on which grouping methods are currently supported. 
  -- 
  -- Various methods exist how to retrieve the grouped items from a DETECTION_BASE derived class:
  -- 
  --   * The method @{Functional.Detection#DETECTION_BASE.GetDetectedItems}() retrieves the DetectedItems[] list.
  --   * A DetectedItem from the DetectedItems[] list can be retrieved using the method @{Functional.Detection#DETECTION_BASE.GetDetectedItem}( DetectedItemIndex ).
  --     Note that this method returns a DetectedItem element from the list, that contains a Set variable and further information
  --     about the DetectedItem that is set by the DETECTION_BASE derived classes, used to group the DetectedItem.
  --   * A DetectedSet from the DetectedItems[] list can be retrieved using the method @{Functional.Detection#DETECTION_BASE.GetDetectedSet}( DetectedItemIndex ).
  --     This method retrieves the Set from a DetectedItem element from the DetectedItem list (DetectedItems[ DetectedItemIndex ].Set ).
  -- 
  -- ## **Visual filters** to fine-tune the probability of the detected objects
  -- 
  -- By default, DCS World will return any object that is in LOS and within "visual reach", or detectable through one of the electronic detection means.
  -- That being said, the DCS World detection algorithm can sometimes be unrealistic.
  -- Especially for a visual detection, DCS World is able to report within 1 second a detailed detection of a group of 20 units (including types of the units) that are 10 kilometers away, using only visual capabilities.
  -- Additionally, trees and other obstacles are not accounted during the DCS World detection.
  -- 
  -- Therefore, an additional (optional) filtering has been built into the DETECTION_BASE class, that can be set for visual detected units.
  -- For electronic detection, this filtering is not applied, only for visually detected targets.
  -- 
  -- The following additional filtering can be applied for visual filtering:
  -- 
  --   * A probability factor per kilometer distance.
  --   * A probability factor based on the alpha angle between the detected object and the unit detecting.
  --     A detection from a higher altitude allows for better detection than when on the ground.
  --   * Define a probability factor for "cloudy zones", which are zones where forests or villages are located. In these zones, detection will be much more difficult.
  --     The mission designer needs to define these cloudy zones within the mission, and needs to register these zones in the DETECTION_ objects additing a probability factor per zone.
  -- 
  -- I advise however, that, when you first use the DETECTION derived classes, that you don't use these filters.
  -- Only when you experience unrealistic behaviour in your missions, these filters could be applied.
  -- 
  -- 
  -- ### Distance visual detection probability
  -- 
  -- Upon a **visual** detection, the further away a detected object is, the less likely it is to be detected properly.
  -- Also, the speed of accurate detection plays a role.
  -- 
  -- A distance probability factor between 0 and 1 can be given, that will model a linear extrapolated probability over 10 km distance.
  -- 
  -- For example, if a probability factor of 0.6 (60%) is given, the extrapolated probabilities over 15 kilometers would like like:
  -- 1 km: 96%, 2 km: 92%, 3 km: 88%, 4 km: 84%, 5 km: 80%, 6 km: 76%, 7 km: 72%, 8 km: 68%, 9 km: 64%, 10 km: 60%, 11 km: 56%, 12 km: 52%, 13 km: 48%, 14 km: 44%, 15 km: 40%.
  -- 
  -- Note that based on this probability factor, not only the detection but also the **type** of the unit will be applied!
  -- 
  -- Use the method @{Functional.Detection#DETECTION_BASE.SetDistanceProbability}() to set the probability factor upon a 10 km distance.
  -- 
  -- ### Alpha Angle visual detection probability
  -- 
  -- Upon a **visual** detection, the higher the unit is during the detecting process, the more likely the detected unit is to be detected properly.
  -- A detection at a 90% alpha angle is the most optimal, a detection at 10% is less and a detection at 0% is less likely to be correct.
  -- 
  -- A probability factor between 0 and 1 can be given, that will model a progressive extrapolated probability if the target would be detected at a 0° angle.
  -- 
  -- For example, if a alpha angle probability factor of 0.7 is given, the extrapolated probabilities of the different angles would look like:
  -- 0°: 70%, 10°: 75,21%, 20°: 80,26%, 30°: 85%, 40°: 89,28%, 50°: 92,98%, 60°: 95,98%, 70°: 98,19%, 80°: 99,54%, 90°: 100%
  -- 
  -- Use the method @{Functional.Detection#DETECTION_BASE.SetAlphaAngleProbability}() to set the probability factor if 0°.
  -- 
  -- ### Cloudy Zones detection probability
  -- 
  -- Upon a **visual** detection, the more a detected unit is within a cloudy zone, the less likely the detected unit is to be detected successfully.
  -- The Cloudy Zones work with the ZONE_BASE derived classes. The mission designer can define within the mission
  -- zones that reflect cloudy areas where detected units may not be so easily visually detected.
  -- 
  -- Use the method @{Functional.Detection#DETECTION_BASE.SetZoneProbability}() to set for a defined number of zones, the probability factors.
  -- 
  -- Note however, that the more zones are defined to be "cloudy" within a detection, the more performance it will take
  -- from the DETECTION_BASE to calculate the presence of the detected unit within each zone.
  -- Expecially for ZONE_POLYGON, try to limit the amount of nodes of the polygon!
  -- 
  -- Typically, this kind of filter would be applied for very specific areas were a detection needs to be very realisting for
  -- AI not to detect so easily targets within a forrest or village rich area.
  -- 
  -- ## Accept / Reject detected units
  -- 
  -- DETECTION_BASE can accept or reject successful detections based on the location of the detected object, 
  -- if it is located in range or located inside or outside of specific zones.
  -- 
  -- ### Detection acceptance of within range limit
  -- 
  -- A range can be set that will limit a successful detection for a unit.
  -- Use the method @{Functional.Detection#DETECTION_BASE.SetAcceptRange}() to apply a range in meters till where detected units will be accepted.
  -- 
  --      local SetGroup = SET_GROUP:New():FilterPrefixes( "FAC" ):FilterStart() -- Build a SetGroup of Forward Air Controllers.
  -- 
  --      -- Build a detect object.
  --      local Detection = DETECTION_UNITS:New( SetGroup )
  --      
  --      -- This will accept detected units if the range is below 5000 meters.
  --      Detection:SetAcceptRange( 5000 ) 
  --      
  --      -- Start the Detection.
  --      Detection:Start()
  -- 
  -- 
  -- ### Detection acceptance if within zone(s).
  -- 
  -- Specific ZONE_BASE object(s) can be given as a parameter, which will only accept a detection if the unit is within the specified ZONE_BASE object(s).
  -- Use the method @{Functional.Detection#DETECTION_BASE.SetAcceptZones}() will accept detected units if they are within the specified zones.
  -- 
  --      local SetGroup = SET_GROUP:New():FilterPrefixes( "FAC" ):FilterStart() -- Build a SetGroup of Forward Air Controllers.
  -- 
  --      -- Search fo the zones where units are to be accepted.
  --      local ZoneAccept1 = ZONE:New( "AcceptZone1" )
  --      local ZoneAccept2 = ZONE:New( "AcceptZone2" )
  --      
  --      -- Build a detect object.
  --      local Detection = DETECTION_UNITS:New( SetGroup )
  --      
  --      -- This will accept detected units by Detection when the unit is within ZoneAccept1 OR ZoneAccept2.
  --      Detection:SetAcceptZones( { ZoneAccept1, ZoneAccept2 } ) 
  --      
  --      -- Start the Detection.
  --      Detection:Start()
  -- 
  -- ### Detection rejectance if within zone(s).
  -- 
  -- Specific ZONE_BASE object(s) can be given as a parameter, which will reject detection if the unit is within the specified ZONE_BASE object(s).
  -- Use the method @{Functional.Detection#DETECTION_BASE.SetRejectZones}() will reject detected units if they are within the specified zones.
  -- An example of how to use the method is shown below.
  -- 
  --      local SetGroup = SET_GROUP:New():FilterPrefixes( "FAC" ):FilterStart() -- Build a SetGroup of Forward Air Controllers.
  -- 
  --      -- Search fo the zones where units are to be rejected.
  --      local ZoneReject1 = ZONE:New( "RejectZone1" )
  --      local ZoneReject2 = ZONE:New( "RejectZone2" )
  --      
  --      -- Build a detect object.
  --      local Detection = DETECTION_UNITS:New( SetGroup )
  --      
  --      -- This will reject detected units by Detection when the unit is within ZoneReject1 OR ZoneReject2.
  --      Detection:SetRejectZones( { ZoneReject1, ZoneReject2 } ) 
  --      
  --      -- Start the Detection.
  --      Detection:Start()
  --      
  -- ## Detection of Friendlies Nearby
  -- 
  -- Use the method @{Functional.Detection#DETECTION_BASE.SetFriendliesRange}() to set the range what will indicate when friendlies are nearby
  -- a DetectedItem. The default range is 6000 meters. For air detections, it is advisory to use about 30.000 meters.
  -- 
  -- ## DETECTION_BASE is a Finite State Machine
  --
  -- Various Events and State Transitions can be tailored using DETECTION_BASE.
  -- 
  -- ### DETECTION_BASE States
  -- 
  --   * **Detecting**: The detection is running.
  --   * **Stopped**: The detection is stopped.
  -- 
  -- ### DETECTION_BASE Events
  -- 
  --   * **Start**: Start the detection process.
  --   * **Detect**: Detect new units.
  --   * **Detected**: New units have been detected.
  --   * **Stop**: Stop the detection process.

-- # Player Manual

-- 
-- A typical mission setup would require Recce (a @{Set} of Recce) to be detecting potential targets.
-- The DetectionObject will group the detected targets based on the detection method being used.
-- Possible detection methods could be by Area, by Type or by Unit.
-- Each grouping will result in a **TargetGroup**, for terminology and clarity we will use this term throughout the document.
-- 
-- **Recce** require to have Line of Sight (LOS) towards the targets.
-- The **Recce** will report any detected targets to the Players (on the picture Observers).
-- When targets are detected, a menu will be made available that allows those **TargetGroups** to be designated.
-- Designation can be done by Lasing, Smoking and Illumination.
-- Smoking is useful during the day, while illumination is recommended to be used during the night.
-- Smoking can designate specific targets, but not very precise, while lasing is very accurate and allows to
-- players to attack the targets using laser guided bombs or rockets.
-- Illumination will lighten up the Target Area.
-- 
-- **Recce** can be ground based or airborne. Airborne **Recce** (AFAC) can be really useful to designate a large amount of targets
-- in a wide open area, as airborne **Recce** has a large LOS.
-- However, ground based **Recce** are very useful to smoke or illuminate targets, as they can be much closer
-- to the Target Area.
-- 
-- It is recommended to make the **Recce** invisible and immortal using the Mission Editor in DCS World.
-- This will ensure that the detection process won't be interrupted and that targets can be designated.
-- However, you don't have to, so to simulate a more real-word situation or simulation, **Recce can also be destroyed**!
--  
-- ## 1. Player View (Observer)
-- 
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\DESIGNATE\Dia4.JPG)
-- 
-- The RecceSet is continuously detecting for potential Targets, 
-- executing its task as part of the DetectionObject.
-- Once Targets have been detected, the DesignateObject will trigger the **Detect Event**.
-- 
-- In order to prevent an overflow in the DesignateObject of detected targets, 
-- there is a maximum amount of TargetGroups 
-- that can be put in **scope** of the DesignateObject.
-- We call this the **MaximumDesignations** term.
-- 
-- ## 2. Designate Menu
-- 
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\DESIGNATE\Dia5.JPG)
-- 
-- For each detected TargetGroup, there is:
-- 
--   * A **Designate Menu** are created and continuously refreshed, containing the **DesignationID** and the **Designation Status**.
--   * The RecceGroups are reporting to each AttackGroup, sending **Messages** containing the Threat Level and the TargetSet composition.
-- 
-- A Player can then select an action from the **Designate Menu**. 
-- The Designation Status is shown between the (   ).
-- 
-- It indicates for each TargetGroup the current active designation action applied:
-- 
--   * An "I" for Illumnation designation.
--   * An "S" for Smoking designation.
--   * An "L" for Lasing designation.
--
-- Note that multiple designation methods can be active at the same time!
-- Note the **Auto Lase** option. When switched on, the available **Recce** will lase 
-- Targets when detected.
-- 
-- Targets are designated per **Threat Level**. 
-- The most threatening targets from an Air to Ground perspective, are designated first!
-- This is for all designation methods.
-- 
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\DESIGNATE\Dia6.JPG)
-- 
-- Each Designate Menu has a sub menu structure, which allows specific actions to be triggered:
-- 
--   * Lase Targets using a specific laser code.
--   * Smoke Targets using a specific smoke color.
--   * Illuminate areas.
-- 
-- ## 3. Lasing Targets
-- 
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\DESIGNATE\Dia7.JPG)
-- 
-- Lasing targets is done as expected. Each available Recce can lase only ONE target through!
-- 
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\DESIGNATE\Dia8.JPG)
-- 
-- Lasing can be done for specific laser codes. The Su-25T requires laser code 1113, while the A-10A requires laser code 1680.
-- For those, specific menu options can be made available for players to lase with these codes.
-- Auto Lase (as explained above), will ensure continuous lasing of available targets.
-- The status report shows which targets are being designated.
-- 
-- The following logic is executed when a TargetGroup is selected to be *lased* from the Designation Menu:
-- 
--   * The RecceSet is searched for any Recce that is within *designation distance* from a Target in the TargetGroup that is currently not being designated.
--   * If there is a Recce found that is currently no designating a target, and is within designation distance from the Target, then that Target will be designated.
--   * During designation, any Recce that does not have Line of Sight (LOS) and is not within disignation distance from the Target, will stop designating the Target, and a report is given.
--   * When a Recce is designating a Target, and that Target is destroyed, then the Recce will stop designating the Target, and will report the event.
--   * When a Recce is designating a Target, and that Recce is destroyed, then the Recce will be removed from the RecceSet and designation will stop without reporting.
--   * When all RecceGroups are destroyed from the RecceSet, then the DesignationObject will stop functioning, and nothing will be reported.
--   
-- In this way, DESIGNATE assists players to designate ground targets for a coordinated attack!
-- 
-- ## 4. Illuminating Targets
-- 
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\DESIGNATE\Dia9.JPG)
-- 
-- Illumination bombs are fired between 500 and 700 meters altitude and will burn about 2 minutes, while slowly decending.
-- Each available recce within range will fire an illumination bomb.
-- Illumination bombs can be fired in while lasing targets.
-- When illumination bombs are fired, it will take about 2 minutes until a sequent bomb run can be requested using the menus.
-- 
-- ## 5. Smoking Targets
-- 
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\DESIGNATE\Dia10.JPG)
-- 
-- Smoke will fire for 5 minutes.
-- Each available recce within range will smoke a target.
-- Smoking can be requested while lasing targets.
-- Smoke will appear "around" the targets, because of accuracy limitations.
--

-- Have FUN!

  -- # 3. Maximum Designations
  -- 
  -- In order to prevent an overflow of designations due to many Detected Targets, there is a 
  -- Maximum Designations scope that is set in the DesignationObject.
  -- 
  -- The method @{#DESIGNATE.SetMaximumDesignations}() will put a limit on the amount of designations put in scope of the DesignationObject.
  -- Using the menu system, the player can "forget" a designation, so that gradually a new designation can be put in scope when detected.
  -- 
  -- # 4. Laser codes
  -- 
  -- ## 4.1. Set possible laser codes
  -- 
  -- An array of laser codes can be provided, that will be used by the DESIGNATE when lasing.
  -- The laser code is communicated by the Recce when it is lasing a larget.
  -- Note that the default laser code is 1113.
  -- Working known laser codes are: 1113,1462,1483,1537,1362,1214,1131,1182,1644,1614,1515,1411,1621,1138,1542,1678,1573,1314,1643,1257,1467,1375,1341,1275,1237
  -- 
  -- Use the method @{#DESIGNATE.SetLaserCodes}() to set the possible laser codes to be selected from.
  -- One laser code can be given or an sequence of laser codes through an table...
  -- 
  --     Designate:SetLaserCodes( 1214 )
  --     
  -- The above sets one laser code with the value 1214.
  -- 
  --     Designate:SetLaserCodes( { 1214, 1131, 1614, 1138 } )
  --     
  -- The above sets a collection of possible laser codes that can be assigned. **Note the { } notation!**
  -- 
  -- ## 4.2. Auto generate laser codes
  -- 
  -- Use the method @{#DESIGNATE.GenerateLaserCodes}() to generate all possible laser codes. Logic implemented and advised by Ciribob!
  -- 
  -- ## 4.3. Add specific lase codes to the lase menu
  -- 
  -- Certain plane types can only drop laser guided ordonnance when targets are lased with specific laser codes.
  -- The SU-25T needs targets to be lased using laser code 1113.
  -- The A-10A needs targets to be lased using laser code 1680.
  -- 
  -- The method @{#DESIGNATE.AddMenuLaserCode}() to allow a player to lase a target using a specific laser code.
  -- Remove such a lase menu option using @{#DESIGNATE.RemoveMenuLaserCode}().
  -- 
  -- # 5. Autolase to automatically lase detected targets.
  -- 
  -- DetectionItems can be auto lased once detected by Recces. As such, there is almost no action required from the Players using the Designate Menu.
  -- The **auto lase** function can be activated through the Designation Menu.
  -- Use the method @{#DESIGNATE.SetAutoLase}() to activate or deactivate the auto lase function programmatically.
  -- Note that autolase will automatically activate lasing for ALL DetectedItems. Individual items can be switched-off if required using the Designation Menu.
  -- 
  --     Designate:SetAutoLase( true )
  -- 
  -- Activate the auto lasing.
  -- 
  -- # 6. Target prioritization on threat level
  -- 
  -- Targets can be detected of different types in one DetectionItem. Depending on the type of the Target, a different threat level applies in an Air to Ground combat context.
  -- SAMs are of a higher threat than normal tanks. So, if the Target type was recognized, the Recces will select those targets that form the biggest threat first,
  -- and will continue this until the remaining vehicles with the lowest threat have been reached.
  -- 
  -- This threat level prioritization can be activated using the method @{#DESIGNATE.SetThreatLevelPrioritization}().
  -- If not activated, Targets will be selected in a random order, but most like those first which are the closest to the Recce marking the Target.
  -- 
  --     Designate:SetThreatLevelPrioritization( true )
  --     
  -- The example will activate the threat level prioritization for this the Designate object. Threats will be marked based on the threat level of the Target.
  -- 
  -- # 7. Designate Menu Location for a Mission
  -- 
  -- You can make DESIGNATE work for a @{Tasking.Mission#MISSION} object. In this way, the designate menu will not appear in the root of the radio menu, but in the menu of the Mission.
  -- Use the method @{#DESIGNATE.SetMission}() to set the @{Mission} object for the designate function.
  -- 
  -- # 8. Status Report
  -- 
  -- A status report is available that displays the current Targets detected, grouped per DetectionItem, and a list of which Targets are currently being marked.
  -- 
  --   * The status report can be shown by selecting "Status" -> "Report Status" from the Designation menu .
  --   * The status report can be automatically flashed by selecting "Status" -> "Flash Status On".
  --   * The automatic flashing of the status report can be deactivated by selecting "Status" -> "Flash Status Off".
  --   * The flashing of the status menu is disabled by default.
  --   * The method @{#DESIGNATE.SetFlashStatusMenu}() can be used to enable or disable to flashing of the status menu.
  --   
  --     Designate:SetFlashStatusMenu( true )
  --     
  -- The example will activate the flashing of the status menu for this Designate object.

--- **Functional** - Create random airtraffic in your missions.
-- 
-- ===
-- 
-- The aim of the RAT class is to fill the empty DCS world with randomized air traffic and bring more life to your airports.  
-- In particular, it is designed to spawn AI air units at random airports. These units will be assigned a random flight path to another random airport on the map.  
-- Even the mission designer will not know where aircraft will be spawned and which route they follow.
-- 
-- ## Features:
-- 
--   * Very simple interface. Just one unit and two lines of Lua code needed to fill your map.
--   * High degree of randomization. Aircraft will spawn at random airports, have random routes and random destinations.
--   * Specific departure and/or destination airports can be chosen.
--   * Departure and destination airports can be restricted by coalition.
--   * Planes and helicopters supported. Helicopters can also be send to FARPs and ships.
--   * Units can also be spawned in air within pre-defined zones of the map.
--   * Aircraft will be removed when they arrive at their destination (or get stuck on the ground).
--   * When a unit is removed a new unit with a different flight plan is respawned.
--   * Aircraft can report their status during the route.
--   * All of the above can be customized by the user if necessary.
--   * All current (Caucasus, Nevada, Normandy, Persian Gulf) and future maps are supported.
--  
-- The RAT class creates an entry in the F10 radio menu which allows to:
--  
--   * Create new groups on-the-fly, i.e. at run time within the mission,
--   * Destroy specific groups (e.g. if they get stuck or damaged and block a runway),
--   * Request the status of all RAT aircraft or individual groups,
--   * Place markers at waypoints on the F10 map for each group.
-- 
-- Note that by its very nature, this class is suited best for civil or transport aircraft. However, it also works perfectly fine for military aircraft of any kind.
-- 
-- More of the documentation include some simple examples can be found further down this page.

--
-- ## Airport Selection
-- 
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\RAT\RAT_Airport_Selection.png)
-- 
-- ### Default settings:
-- 
-- * By default, aircraft are spawned at airports of their own coalition (blue or red) or neutral airports.
-- * Destination airports are by default also of neutral or of the same coalition as the template group of the spawned aircraft.
-- * Possible destinations are restricted by their distance to the departure airport. The maximal distance depends on the max range of spawned aircraft type and its initial fuel amount.
-- 
-- ### The default behavior can be changed:
-- 
-- * A specific departure and/or destination airport can be chosen.
-- * Valid coalitions can be set, e.g. only red, blue or neutral, all three "colours".
-- * It is possible to start in air within a zone defined in the mission editor or within a zone above an airport of the map.
-- 
-- ## Flight Plan
-- 
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\RAT\RAT_Flight_Plan.png)
-- 
-- * A general flight plan has five main airborne segments: Climb, cruise, descent, holding and final approach.
-- * Events monitored during the flight are: birth, engine-start, take-off, landing and engine-shutdown.
-- * The default flight level (FL) is set to ~FL200, i.e. 20000 feet ASL but randomized for each aircraft.
-- Service ceiling of aircraft type is into account for max FL as well as the distance between departure and destination.
-- * Maximal distance between destination and departure airports depends on range and initial fuel of aircraft.
-- * Climb rate is set to a moderate value of ~1500 ft/min.
-- * The standard descent rate follows the 3:1 rule, i.e. 1000 ft decent per 3 miles of travel. Hence, angle of descent is ~3.6 degrees.
-- * A holding point is randomly selected at a distance between 5 and 10 km away from destination airport.
-- * The altitude of theholding point is ~1200 m AGL. Holding patterns might or might not happen with variable duration.
-- * If an aircraft is spawned in air, the procedure omitts taxi and take-off and starts with the climb/cruising part.
-- * All values are randomized for each spawned aircraft.
-- 
-- ## Mission Editor Setup
-- 
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\RAT\RAT_Mission_Setup.png)
-- 
-- Basic mission setup is very simple and essentially a three step process:
-- 
-- * Place your aircraft **anywhere** on the map. It really does not matter where you put it.
-- * Give the group a good name. In the example above the group is named "RAT_YAK".
-- * Activate the "LATE ACTIVATION" tick box. Note that this aircraft will not be spawned itself but serves a template for each RAT aircraft spawned when the mission starts. 
-- 
-- Voilà, your already done!
-- 
-- Optionally, you can set a specific livery for the aircraft or give it some weapons.
-- However, the aircraft will by default not engage any enemies. Think of them as beeing on a peaceful or ferry mission.
-- 
-- ## Basic Lua Script
-- 
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\RAT\RAT_Basic_Lua_Script.png)
-- 
-- The basic Lua script for one template group consits of two simple lines as shown in the picture above.
-- 
-- * **Line 2** creates a new RAT object "yak". The only required parameter for the constructor @{#RAT.New}() is the name of the group as defined in the mission editor. In this example it is "RAT_YAK".
-- * **Line 5** trigger the command to spawn the aircraft. The (optional) parameter for the @{#RAT.Spawn}() function is the number of aircraft to be spawned of this object.
-- By default each of these aircraft gets a random departure airport anywhere on the map and a random destination airport, which lies within range of the of the selected aircraft type.
-- 
-- In this simple example aircraft are respawned with a completely new flightplan when they have reached their destination airport.
-- The "old" aircraft is despawned (destroyed) after it has shut-down its engines and a new aircraft of the same type is spawned at a random departure airport anywhere on the map.
-- Hence, the default flight plan for a RAT aircraft will be: Fly from airport A to B, get respawned at C and fly to D, get respawned at E and fly to F, ...
-- This ensures that you always have a constant number of AI aircraft on your map.
-- 
-- ## Parking Problems
-- 
-- One big issue in DCS is that not all aircraft can be spawned on every airport or airbase. In particular, bigger aircraft might not have a valid parking spot at smaller airports and 
-- airstripes. This can lead to multiple problems in DCS.
-- 
-- * Landing: When an aircraft tries to land at an airport where it does not have a valid parking spot, it is immidiately despawned the moment its wheels touch the runway, i.e.
-- when a landing event is triggered. This leads to the loss of the RAT aircraft. On possible way to circumvent the this problem is to let another RAT aircraft spawn at landing
-- and not when it shuts down its engines. See the @{RAT.RespawnAfterLanding}() function.
-- * Spawning: When a big aircraft is dynamically spawned on a small airbase a few things can go wrong. For example, it could be spawned at a parking spot with a shelter.
-- Or it could be damaged by a scenery object when it is taxiing out to the runway, or it could overlap with other aircraft on parking spots near by.
-- 
-- You can check yourself if an aircraft has a valid parking spot at an airbase by dragging its group on the airport in the mission editor and set it to start from ramp.
-- If it stays at the airport, it has a valid parking spot, if it jumps to another airport, it does not have a valid parking spot on that airbase.
-- 
-- ### Setting the Terminal Type
-- Each parking spot has a specific type depending on its size or if a helicopter spot or a shelter etc. The classification is not perfect but it is the best we have.
-- If you encounter problems described above, you can request a specific terminal type for the RAT aircraft. This can be done by the @{#RAT.SetTerminalType}(*terminaltype*)
-- function. The parameter *terminaltype* can be set as follows
-- 
-- * AIRBASE.TerminalType.HelicopterOnly: Special spots for Helicopers.
-- * AIRBASE.TerminalType.Shelter: Hardened Air Shelter. Currently only on Caucaus map.
-- * AIRBASE.TerminalType.OpenMed: Open/Shelter air airplane only.
-- * AIRBASE.TerminalType.OpenBig: Open air spawn points. Generally larger but does not guarantee large aircraft are capable of spawning there.
-- * AIRBASE.TerminalType.OpenMedOrBig: Combines OpenMed and OpenBig spots.
-- * AIRBASE.TerminalType.HelicopterUsable: Combines HelicopterOnly, OpenMed and OpenBig.
-- * AIRBASE.TerminalType.FighterAircraft: Combines Shelter, OpenMed and OpenBig spots. So effectively all spots usable by fixed wing aircraft.
-- 
-- So for example
--      c17=RAT:New("C-17")
--      c17:SetTerminalType(AIRBASE.TerminalType.OpenBig)
--      c17:Spawn(5)
--      
-- This would randomly spawn five C-17s but only on airports which have big open air parking spots. Note that also only destination airports are allowed
-- which do have this type of parking spot. This should ensure that the aircraft is able to land at the destination without beeing despawned immidiately.
-- 
-- Also, the aircraft are spawned only on the requested parking spot types and not on any other type. If no parking spot of this type is availabe at the
-- moment of spawning, the group is automatically spawned in air above the selected airport.
-- 
-- ## Examples
-- 
-- Here are a few examples, how you can modify the default settings of RAT class objects.
-- 
-- ### Specify Departure and Destinations
-- 
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\RAT\RAT_Examples_Specify_Departure_and_Destination.png)
-- 
-- In the picture above you find a few possibilities how to modify the default behaviour to spawn at random airports and fly to random destinations.
-- 
-- In particular, you can specify fixed departure and/or destination airports. This is done via the @{#RAT.SetDeparture}() or @{#RAT.SetDestination}() functions, respectively.
-- 
-- * If you only fix a specific departure airport via @{#RAT.SetDeparture}() all aircraft will be spawned at that airport and get random destination airports.
-- * If you only fix the destination airport via @{#RAT.SetDestination}(), aircraft a spawned at random departure airports but will all fly to the destination airport.
-- * If you fix departure and destination airports, aircraft will only travel from between those airports.
-- When the aircraft reaches its destination, it will be respawned at its departure and fly again to its destination.   
-- 
-- There is also an option that allows aircraft to "continue their journey" from their destination. This is achieved by the @{#RAT.ContinueJourney}() function.
-- In that case, when the aircraft arrives at its first destination it will be respawned at that very airport and get a new random destination.
-- So the flight plan in this case would be: Fly from airport A to B, then from B to C, then from C to D, ...
-- 
-- It is also possible to make aircraft "commute" between two airports, i.e. flying from airport A to B and then back from B to A, etc.
-- This can be done by the @{#RAT.Commute}() function. Note that if no departure or destination airports are specified, the first departure and destination are chosen randomly.
-- Then the aircraft will fly back and forth between those two airports indefinetly.
-- 
-- 
-- ### Spawn in Air
-- 
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\RAT\RAT_Examples_Spawn_in_Air.png)
-- 
-- Aircraft can also be spawned in air rather than at airports on the ground. This is done by setting @{#RAT.SetTakeoff}() to "air".
-- 
-- By default, aircraft are spawned randomly above airports of the map.
-- 
-- The @{#RAT.SetDeparture}() option can be used to specify zones, which have been defined in the mission editor as departure zones.
-- Aircraft will then be spawned at a random point within the zone or zones.
-- 
-- Note that @{#RAT.SetDeparture}() also accepts airport names. For an air takeoff these are treated like zones with a radius of XX kilometers.
-- Again, aircraft are spawned at random points within these zones around the airport.
-- 
-- ### Misc Options
-- 
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\RAT\RAT_Examples_Misc.png)
-- 
-- The default "takeoff" type of RAT aircraft is that they are spawned with hot or cold engines.
-- The choice is random, so 50% of aircraft will be spawned with hot engines while the other 50% will be spawned with cold engines.
-- This setting can be changed using the @{#RAT.SetTakeoff}() function. The possible parameters for starting on ground are:
-- 
-- *  @{#RAT.SetTakeoff}("cold"), which means that all aircraft are spawned with their engines off,
-- *  @{#RAT.SetTakeoff}("hot"), which means that all aircraft are spawned with their engines on,
-- *  @{#RAT.SetTakeoff}("runway"), which means that all aircraft are spawned already at the runway ready to takeoff.
-- Note that in this case the default spawn intervall is set to 180 seconds in order to avoid aircraft jamms on the runway. Generally, this takeoff at runways should be used with care and problems are to be expected.
-- 
-- 
-- The options @{#RAT.SetMinDistance}() and @{#RAT.SetMaxDistance}() can be used to restrict the range from departure to destination. For example
-- 
-- * @{#RAT.SetMinDistance}(100) will cause only random destination airports to be selected which are **at least** 100 km away from the departure airport.
-- * @{#RAT.SetMaxDistance}(150) will allow only destination airports which are **less than** 150 km away from the departure airport.
-- 
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\RAT\RAT_Gaussian.png)
-- 
-- By default planes get a cruise altitude of ~20,000 ft ASL. The actual altitude is sampled from a Gaussian distribution. The picture shows this distribution
-- if one would spawn 1000 planes. As can be seen most planes get a cruising alt of around FL200. Other values are possible but less likely the further away
-- one gets from the expectation value.
-- 
-- The expectation value, i.e. the altitude most aircraft get, can be set with the function @{#RAT.SetFLcruise}().
-- It is possible to restrict the minimum cruise altitude by @{#RAT.SetFLmin}() and the maximum cruise altitude by @{#RAT.SetFLmax}()
-- 
-- The cruise altitude can also be given in meters ASL by the functions @{#RAT.SetCruiseAltitude}(), @{#RAT.SetMinCruiseAltitude}() and @{#RAT.SetMaxCruiseAltitude}().
-- 
-- For example:
-- 
-- * @{#RAT.SetFLcruise}(300) will cause most planes fly around FL300.
-- * @{#RAT.SetFLmin}(100) restricts the cruising alt such that no plane will fly below FL100. Note that this automatically changes the minimum distance from departure to destination.
-- That means that only destinations are possible for which the aircraft has had enought time to reach that flight level and descent again.  
-- * @{#RAT.SetFLmax}(200) will restrict the cruise alt to maximum FL200, i.e. no aircraft will travel above this height.

--TODO list:
--DONE: Add scheduled spawn.
--DONE: Add possibility to spawn in air.
--DONE: Add departure zones for air start.
--DONE: Make more functions to adjust/set RAT parameters.
--DONE: Clean up debug messages.
--DONE: Improve flight plan. Especially check FL against route length.
--DONE: Add event handlers.
--DONE: Respawn units when they have landed.
--DONE: Change ROE state.
--DONE: Make ROE state user function
--DONE: Improve status reports.
--DONE: Check compatibility with other #SPAWN functions. nope, not all!
--DONE: Add possibility to continue journey at destination. Need "place" in event data for that.
--DONE: Add enumerators and get rid off error prone string comparisons.
--DONE: Check that FARPS are not used as airbases for planes.
--DONE: Add special cases for ships (similar to FARPs).
--DONE: Add cases for helicopters.
--DONE: Add F10 menu.
--DONE: Add markers to F10 menu.
--DONE: Add respawn limit. Later...
--DONE: Make takeoff method random between cold and hot start.
--DONE: Check out uncontrolled spawning. Not now!
--DONE: Check aircraft spawning in air at Sochi after third aircraft was spawned. ==> DCS behaviour.
--DONE: Improve despawn after stationary. Might lead to despawning if many aircraft spawn at the same time.
--DONE: Check why birth event is not handled. ==> Seems to be okay if it is called _OnBirth rather than _OnBirthday. Dont know why actually!?
--DONE: Improve behaviour when no destination or departure airports were found. Leads to crash, e.g. 1184: attempt to get length of local 'destinations' (a nil value)
--DONE: Check cases where aircraft get shot down.
--DONE: Handle the case where more than 10 RAT objects are spawned. Likewise, more than 10 groups of one object. Causes problems with the number of menu items! ==> not now!
--DONE: Add custom livery choice if possible.
--DONE: Add function to include all airports to selected destinations/departures.
--DONE: Find way to respawn aircraft at same position where the last was despawned for commute and journey.
--TODO: Check that same alias is not given twice. Need to store previous ones and compare.

---# RATMANAGER class, extends @{Core.Base#BASE}
-- The RATMANAGER class manages spawning of multiple RAT objects in a very simple way. It is created by the  @{#RATMANAGER.New}() contructor. 
-- RAT objects with different "tasks" can be defined as usual. However, they **must not** be spawned via the @{#RAT.Spawn}() function.
-- 
-- Instead, these objects can be added to the manager via the @{#RATMANAGER.Add}(ratobject, min) function, where the first parameter "ratobject" is the @{#RAT} object, while the second parameter "min" defines the
-- minimum number of RAT aircraft of that object, which are alive at all time.
-- 
-- The @{#RATMANAGER} must be started by the @{#RATMANAGER.Start}(startime) function, where the optional argument "startime" specifies the delay time in seconds after which the manager is started and the spawning beginns.
-- If desired, the @{#RATMANAGER} can be stopped by the @{#RATMANAGER.Stop}(stoptime) function. The parameter "stoptime" specifies the time delay in seconds after which the manager stops.
-- When this happens, no new aircraft will be spawned and the population will eventually decrease to zero.
-- 
-- ## Example
-- In this example, three different @{#RAT} objects are created (but not spawned manually). The @{#RATMANAGER} takes care that at least five aircraft of each type are alive and that the total number of aircraft
-- spawned is 25. The @{#RATMANAGER} is started after 30 seconds and stopped after two hours.

--- **Functional** - Range Practice.
--
-- ===
--
-- The RANGE class enables easy set up of bombing and strafing ranges within DCS World.
--
-- Implementation is based on the [Simple Range Script](https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=157991) by [Ciribob](https://forums.eagle.ru/member.php?u=112175), which itself was motivated
-- by a script by SNAFU [see here](https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=109174).
--
-- [476th - Air Weapons Range Objects mod](http://www.476vfightergroup.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=287) is highly recommended for this class.
--
-- **Main Features:**
--
--   * Impact points of bombs, rockets and missiles are recorded and distance to closest range target is measured and reported to the player.
--   * Number of hits on strafing passes are counted and reported. Also the percentage of hits w.r.t fired shots is evaluated.
--   * Results of all bombing and strafing runs are stored and top 10 results can be displayed.
--   * Range targets can be marked by smoke.
--   * Range can be illuminated by illumination bombs for night missions.
--   * Bomb, rocket and missile impact points can be marked by smoke.
--   * Direct hits on targets can trigger flares.
--   * Smoke and flare colors can be adjusted for each player via radio menu.
--   * Range information and weather report at the range can be reported via radio menu.
--   * Persistence: Bombing range results can be saved to disk and loaded the next time the mission is started.
--   * Range control voice overs (>40) for hit assessment.

--
-- # The Range Concept
--
-- The RANGE class enables a mission designer to easily set up practice ranges in DCS. A new RANGE object can be created with the @{#RANGE.New}(*rangename*) contructor.
-- The parameter *rangename* defines the name of the range. It has to be unique since this is also the name displayed in the radio menu.
--
-- Generally, a range consists of strafe pits and bombing targets. For strafe pits the number of hits for each pass is counted and tabulated.
-- For bombing targets, the distance from the impact point of the bomb, rocket or missile to the closest range target is measured and tabulated.
-- Each player can display his best results via a function in the radio menu or see the best best results from all players.
--
-- When all targets have been defined in the script, the range is started by the @{#RANGE.Start}() command.
--
-- **IMPORTANT**
--
-- Due to a DCS bug, it is not possible to directly monitor when a player enters a plane. So in a mission with client slots, it is vital that
-- a player first enters as spectator or hits ESC twice and **after that** jumps into the slot of his aircraft!
-- If that is not done, the script is not started correctly. This can be checked by looking at the radio menues. If the mission was entered correctly,
-- there should be an "On the Range" menu items in the "F10. Other..." menu.
--
-- # Strafe Pits
-- 
-- Each strafe pit can consist of multiple targets. Often one finds two or three strafe targets next to each other.
--
-- A strafe pit can be added to the range by the @{#RANGE.AddStrafePit}(*targetnames, boxlength, boxwidth, heading, inverseheading, goodpass, foulline*) function.
--
-- * The first parameter *targetnames* defines the target or targets. This has to be given as a lua table which contains the names of @{Wrapper.Unit} or @{Static} objects defined in the mission editor.
-- * In order to perform a valid pass on the strafe pit, the pilot has to begin his run from the correct direction. Therefore, an "approach box" is defined in front
--   of the strafe targets. The parameters *boxlength* and *boxwidth* define the size of the box while the parameter *heading* defines its direction.
--   If the parameter *heading* is passed as **nil**, the heading is automatically taken from the heading of the first target unit as defined in the ME.
--   The parameter *inverseheading* turns the heading around by 180 degrees. This is sometimes useful, since the default heading of strafe target units point in the
--   wrong/opposite direction.
-- * The parameter *goodpass* defines the number of hits a pilot has to achieve during a run to be judged as a "good" pass.
-- * The last parameter *foulline* sets the distance from the pit targets to the foul line. Hit from closer than this line are not counted!
--
-- Another function to add a strafe pit is @{#RANGE.AddStrafePitGroup}(*group, boxlength, boxwidth, heading, inverseheading, goodpass, foulline*). Here,
-- the first parameter *group* is a MOOSE @{Wrapper.Group} object and **all** units in this group define **one** strafe pit.
--
-- Finally, a valid approach has to be performed below a certain maximum altitude. The default is 914 meters (3000 ft) AGL. This is a parameter valid for all
-- strafing pits of the range and can be adjusted by the @{#RANGE.SetMaxStrafeAlt}(maxalt) function.
--
-- # Bombing targets
-- 
-- One ore multiple bombing targets can be added to the range by the @{#RANGE.AddBombingTargets}(targetnames, goodhitrange, randommove) function.
--
-- * The first parameter *targetnames* has to be a lua table, which contains the names of @{Wrapper.Unit} and/or @{Static} objects defined in the mission editor.
--   Note that the @{Range} logic **automatically** determines, if a name belongs to a @{Wrapper.Unit} or @{Static} object now.
-- * The (optional) parameter *goodhitrange* specifies the radius around the target. If a bomb or rocket falls at a distance smaller than this number, the hit is considered to be "good".
-- * If final (optional) parameter "*randommove*" can be enabled to create moving targets. If this parameter is set to true, the units of this bombing target will randomly move within the range zone.
--   Note that there might be quirks since DCS units can get stuck in buildings etc. So it might be safer to manually define a route for the units in the mission editor if moving targets are desired.
--
-- ## Adding Groups
-- 
-- Another possibility to add bombing targets is the @{#RANGE.AddBombingTargetGroup}(*group, goodhitrange, randommove*) function. Here the parameter *group* is a MOOSE @{Wrapper.Group} object
-- and **all** units in this group are defined as bombing targets.
-- 
-- ## Specifying Coordinates
-- 
-- It is also possible to specify coordinates rather than unit or static objects as bombing target locations. This has the advantage, that even when the unit/static object is dead, the specified 
-- coordinate will still be a valid impact point. This can be done via the @{#RANGE.AddBombingTargetCoordinate}(*coord*, *name*, *goodhitrange*) function.
--
-- # Fine Tuning
-- 
-- Many range parameters have good default values. However, the mission designer can change these settings easily with the supplied user functions:
--
-- * @{#RANGE.SetMaxStrafeAlt}() sets the max altitude for valid strafing runs.
-- * @{#RANGE.SetMessageTimeDuration}() sets the duration how long (most) messages are displayed.
-- * @{#RANGE.SetDisplayedMaxPlayerResults}() sets the number of results displayed.
-- * @{#RANGE.SetRangeRadius}() defines the total range area.
-- * @{#RANGE.SetBombTargetSmokeColor}() sets the color used to smoke bombing targets.
-- * @{#RANGE.SetStrafeTargetSmokeColor}() sets the color used to smoke strafe targets.
-- * @{#RANGE.SetStrafePitSmokeColor}() sets the color used to smoke strafe pit approach boxes.
-- * @{#RANGE.SetSmokeTimeDelay}() sets the time delay between smoking bomb/rocket impact points after impact.
-- * @{#RANGE.TrackBombsON}() or @{#RANGE.TrackBombsOFF}() can be used to enable/disable tracking and evaluating of all bomb types a player fires.
-- * @{#RANGE.TrackRocketsON}() or @{#RANGE.TrackRocketsOFF}() can be used to enable/disable tracking and evaluating of all rocket types a player fires.
-- * @{#RANGE.TrackMissilesON}() or @{#RANGE.TrackMissilesOFF}() can be used to enable/disable tracking and evaluating of all missile types a player fires.
--
-- # Radio Menu
-- 
-- Each range gets a radio menu with various submenus where each player can adjust his individual settings or request information about the range or his scores.
--
-- The main range menu can be found at "F10. Other..." --> "F*X*. On the Range..." --> "F1. <Range Name>...".
--
-- The range menu contains the following submenues:
-- 
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\RANGE\Menu_Main.png)
--
-- * "F1. Statistics...": Range results of all players and personal stats.
-- * "F2. Mark Targets": Mark range targets by smoke or flares.
-- * "F3. My Settings" Personal settings.
-- * "F4. Range Info": Information about the range, such as bearing and range.
-- 
-- ## F1 Statistics
-- 
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\RANGE\Menu_Stats.png)

-- ## F2 Mark Targets

-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\RANGE\Menu_Stats.png)

-- 
-- # Voice Overs
-- 
-- Voice over sound files can be downloaded from the Moose Discord. Check the pinned messages in the *#func-range* channel.
-- 
-- Instructor radio will inform players when they enter or exit the range zone and provide the radio frequency of the range control for hit assessment.
-- This can be enabled via the @{#RANGE.SetInstructorRadio}(*frequency*) functions, where *frequency* is the AM frequency in MHz.
-- 
-- The range control can be enabled via the @{#RANGE.SetRangeControl}(*frequency*) functions, where *frequency* is the AM frequency in MHz.
-- 
-- By default, the sound files are placed in the "Range Soundfiles/" folder inside the mission (.miz) file. Another folder can be specified via the @{#RANGE.SetSoundfilesPath}(*path*) function.
-- 
-- # Persistence
-- 
-- To automatically save bombing results to disk, use the @{#RANGE.SetAutosave}() function. Bombing results will be saved as csv file in your "Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Logs" directory.
-- Each range has a separate file, which is named "RANGE-<*RangeName*>_BombingResults.csv".
-- 
-- The next time you start the mission, these results are also automatically loaded.
-- 
-- Strafing results are currently **not** saved.
--
-- # Examples
--
-- ## Goldwater Range
-- 
-- This example shows hot to set up the [Barry M. Goldwater range](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_M._Goldwater_Air_Force_Range).
-- It consists of two strafe pits each has two targets plus three bombing targets.

-- # Debugging
--
-- In case you have problems, it is always a good idea to have a look at your DCS log file. You find it in your "Saved Games" folder, so for example in
--      C:\Users\<yourname>\Saved Games\DCS\Logs\dcs.log
-- All output concerning the RANGE class should have the string "RANGE" in the corresponding line.
--
-- The verbosity of the output can be increased by adding the following lines to your script:
--
--      BASE:TraceOnOff(true)
--      BASE:TraceLevel(1)
--      BASE:TraceClass("RANGE")
--
-- To get even more output you can increase the trace level to 2 or even 3, c.f. @{BASE} for more details.
--
-- The function @{#RANGE.DebugON}() can be used to send messages on screen. It also smokes all defined strafe and bombing targets, the strafe pit approach boxes and the range zone.
--
-- Note that it can happen that the RANGE radio menu is not shown. Check that the range object is defined as a **global** variable rather than a local one.
-- The could avoid the lua garbage collection to accidentally/falsely deallocate the RANGE objects.

-- # Player Experience
-- 
-- ![States](..\Presentations\ZONE_CAPTURE_COALITION\Dia3.JPG)
--  
-- The above models the possible state transitions between the **Guarded**, **Attacked**, **Empty** and **Captured** states.  
-- A zone has an __owning coalition__, that means that at a specific point in time, a zone can be owned by the red or blue coalition.
--
-- The Zone can be in the state **Guarded** by the __owning coalition__, which is the coalition that initially occupies the zone with units of its coalition.  
-- Once units of an other coalition are entering the Zone, the state will change to **Attacked**. As long as these units remain in the zone, the state keeps set to Attacked.  
-- When all units are destroyed in the Zone, the state will change to **Empty**, which expresses that the Zone is empty, and can be captured.  
-- When units of the other coalition are in the Zone, and no other units of the owning coalition is in the Zone, the Zone is captured, and its state will change to **Captured**.  
-- 
-- The zone needs to be monitored regularly for the presence of units to interprete the correct state transition required.  
-- This monitoring process MUST be started using the @{#ZONE_CAPTURE_COALITION.Start}() method.  
-- Otherwise no monitoring will be active and the zone will stay in the current state forever.

  --- Models the process to capture a Zone for a Coalition, which is guarded by another Coalition.
  -- This is a powerful concept that allows to create very dynamic missions based on the different state transitions of various zones.
  -- 
  -- ===
  -- 
  -- In order to use ZONE_CAPTURE_COALITION, you need to:
  -- 
  --   * Create a @{Zone} object from one of the ZONE_ classes.  
  --     Note that ZONE_POLYGON_ classes are not yet functional.  
  --     The only functional ZONE_ classses are those derived from a ZONE_RADIUS.
  --   * Set the state of the zone. Most of the time, Guarded would be the initial state.
  --   * Start the zone capturing **monitoring process**.  
  --     This will check the presence of friendly and/or enemy units within the zone and will transition the state of the zone when the tactical situation changed.
  --     The frequency of the monitoring must not be real-time, a 30 second interval to execute the checks is sufficient. 
  -- 
  -- ![New](..\Presentations\ZONE_CAPTURE_COALITION\Dia5.JPG)
  -- 
  -- ### Important:
  -- 
  -- You must start the monitoring process within your code, or there won't be any state transition checks executed.  
  -- See further the start/stop monitoring process.
  -- 
  -- ### Important:
  -- 
  -- Ensure that the object containing the ZONE_CAPTURE_COALITION object is persistent.
  -- Otherwise the garbage collector of lua will remove the object and the monitoring process will stop.
  -- This will result in your object to be destroyed (removed) from internal memory and there won't be any zone state transitions anymore detected!
  -- So use the `local` keyword in lua with thought! Most of the time, you can declare your object gobally.
  -- 
  -- 
  -- 
  -- # Example:
  -- 
  --       -- Define a new ZONE object, which is based on the trigger zone `CaptureZone`, which is defined within the mission editor.
  --       CaptureZone = ZONE:New( "CaptureZone" )
  --       
  --       -- Here we create a new ZONE_CAPTURE_COALITION object, using the :New constructor.
  --       ZoneCaptureCoalition = ZONE_CAPTURE_COALITION:New( CaptureZone, coalition.side.RED )
  --       
  --       -- Set the zone to Guarding state.
  --       ZoneCaptureCoalition:__Guard( 1 )
  --       
  --       -- Start the zone monitoring process in 30 seconds and check every 30 seconds.
  --       ZoneCaptureCoalition:Start( 30, 30 ) 
  --   
  -- 
  -- # Constructor:
  --   
  -- Use the @{#ZONE_CAPTURE_COALITION.New}() constructor to create a new ZONE_CAPTURE_COALITION object.

  -- 
  --   * **Captured**: The Zone has been captured by an other coalition.
  --   * **Attacked**: The Zone is currently intruded by an other coalition. There are units of the owning coalition and an other coalition in the Zone.
  --   * **Guarded**: The Zone is guarded by the owning coalition. There is no other unit of an other coalition in the Zone.
  --   * **Empty**: The Zone is empty. There is not valid unit in the Zone.

  -- # "Script It"
  -- 
  -- ZONE_CAPTURE_COALITION allows to take action on the various state transitions and add your custom code and logic.
  -- 
  -- ## Take action using state- and event handlers.
  -- 
  -- ![States](..\Presentations\ZONE_CAPTURE_COALITION\Dia6.JPG)
  -- 
  -- The most important to understand is how states and events can be tailored.
  -- Carefully study the diagram and the explanations.
  -- 
  -- **State Handlers** capture the moment:
  -- 
  --   - On Leave from the old state. Return false to cancel the transition.
  --   - On Enter to the new state.
  -- 
  -- **Event Handlers** capture the moment:
  -- 
  --   - On Before the event is triggered. Return false to cancel the transition.
  --   - On After the event is triggered.
  -- 
  -- ![States](..\Presentations\ZONE_CAPTURE_COALITION\Dia7.JPG)
  -- 
  -- Each handler can receive optionally 3 parameters:
  -- 
  --   - **From**: A string containing the From State.
  --   - **Event**: A string containing the Event.
  --   - **To**: A string containing the To State.
  --   
  -- The mission designer can use these values to alter the logic.
  -- For example:
  -- 
  --     --- @param Functional.ZoneCaptureCoalition#ZONE_CAPTURE_COALITION self
  --     function ZoneCaptureCoalition:OnEnterGuarded( From, Event, To )
  --       if From ~= "Empty" then
  --         -- Display a message
  --       end
  --     end
  -- 
  -- This code checks that when the __Guarded__ state has been reached, that if the **From** state was __Empty__, then display a message.
  -- 
  -- ## Example Event Handler.
  -- 
  --     --- @param Functional.ZoneCaptureCoalition#ZONE_CAPTURE_COALITION self
  --     function ZoneCaptureCoalition:OnEnterGuarded( From, Event, To )
  --       if From ~= To then
  --         local Coalition = self:GetCoalition()
  --         self:E( { Coalition = Coalition } )
  --         if Coalition == coalition.side.BLUE then
  --           ZoneCaptureCoalition:Smoke( SMOKECOLOR.Blue )
  --           US_CC:MessageTypeToCoalition( string.format( "%s is under protection of the USA", ZoneCaptureCoalition:GetZoneName() ), MESSAGE.Type.Information )
  --           RU_CC:MessageTypeToCoalition( string.format( "%s is under protection of the USA", ZoneCaptureCoalition:GetZoneName() ), MESSAGE.Type.Information )
  --         else
  --           ZoneCaptureCoalition:Smoke( SMOKECOLOR.Red )
  --           RU_CC:MessageTypeToCoalition( string.format( "%s is under protection of Russia", ZoneCaptureCoalition:GetZoneName() ), MESSAGE.Type.Information )
  --           US_CC:MessageTypeToCoalition( string.format( "%s is under protection of Russia", ZoneCaptureCoalition:GetZoneName() ), MESSAGE.Type.Information )
  --         end
  --       end
  --     end
  --     
  -- ## Stop and Start the zone monitoring process.
  -- 
  -- At regular intervals, the state of the zone needs to be monitored.
  -- The zone needs to be scanned for the presence of units within the zone boundaries.
  -- Depending on the owning coalition of the zone and the presence of units (of the owning and/or other coalition(s)), the zone will transition to another state.
  -- 
  -- However, ... this scanning process is rather CPU intensive. Imagine you have 10 of these capture zone objects setup within your mission.
  -- That would mean that your mission would check 10 capture zones simultaneously, each checking for the presence of units.
  -- It would be highly **CPU inefficient**, as some of these zones are not required to be monitored (yet).
  -- 
  -- Therefore, the mission designer is given 2 methods that allow to take control of the CPU utilization efficiency:
  -- 
  --   * @{#ZONE_CAPTURE_COALITION.Start}(): This starts the monitoring process.
  --   * @{#ZONE_CAPTURE_COALITION.Stop}(): This stops the monitoring process.
  --   
  -- ### IMPORTANT
  -- 
  -- **Each capture zone object must have the monitoring process started specifically. The monitoring process is NOT started by default!**
  --   
  -- 
  -- # Full Example
  -- 
  -- The following annotated code shows a real example of how ZONE_CAPTURE_COALITION can be applied.
  -- 
  -- The concept is simple.
  -- 
  -- The USA (US), blue coalition, needs to capture the Russian (RU), red coalition, zone, which is near groom lake.
  -- 
  -- A capture zone has been setup that guards the presence of the troops.
  -- Troops are guarded by red forces. Blue is required to destroy the red forces and capture the zones.
  -- 
  -- At first, we setup the Command Centers
  -- 
  --      do
  --        
  --        RU_CC = COMMANDCENTER:New( GROUP:FindByName( "REDHQ" ), "Russia HQ" )
  --        US_CC = COMMANDCENTER:New( GROUP:FindByName( "BLUEHQ" ), "USA HQ" )
  --      
  --      end
  --      
  -- Next, we define the mission, and add some scoring to it.
  --      
  --      do -- Missions
  --        
  --        US_Mission_EchoBay = MISSION:New( US_CC, "Echo Bay", "Primary",
  --          "Welcome trainee. The airport Groom Lake in Echo Bay needs to be captured.\n" ..
  --          "There are five random capture zones located at the airbase.\n" ..
  --          "Move to one of the capture zones, destroy the fuel tanks in the capture zone, " ..
  --          "and occupy each capture zone with a platoon.\n " .. 
  --          "Your orders are to hold position until all capture zones are taken.\n" ..
  --          "Use the map (F10) for a clear indication of the location of each capture zone.\n" ..
  --          "Note that heavy resistance can be expected at the airbase!\n" ..
  --          "Mission 'Echo Bay' is complete when all five capture zones are taken, and held for at least 5 minutes!"
  --          , coalition.side.RED )
  --          
  --        US_Mission_EchoBay:Start()
  --      
  --      end
  --      
  --      
  -- Now the real work starts.
  -- We define a **CaptureZone** object, which is a ZONE object.
  -- Within the mission, a trigger zone is created with the name __CaptureZone__, with the defined radius within the mission editor.
  -- 
  --      CaptureZone = ZONE:New( "CaptureZone" )
  -- 
  -- Next, we define the **ZoneCaptureCoalition** object, as explained above.
  --      
  --      ZoneCaptureCoalition = ZONE_CAPTURE_COALITION:New( CaptureZone, coalition.side.RED ) 
  --      
  -- Of course, we want to let the **ZoneCaptureCoalition** object do something when the state transitions.
  -- Do accomodate this, it is very simple, as explained above.
  -- We use **Event Handlers** to tailor the logic.
  -- 
  -- Here we place an Event Handler at the Guarded event. So when the **Guarded** event is triggered, then this method is called!
  -- With the variables **From**, **Event**, **To**. Each of these variables containing a string.
  -- 
  -- We check if the previous state wasn't Guarded also.
  -- If not, we retrieve the owning Coalition of the **ZoneCaptureCoalition**, using `self:GetCoalition()`.
  -- So **Coalition** will contain the current owning coalition of the zone.
  -- 
  -- Depending on the zone ownership, different messages are sent.
  -- Note the methods `ZoneCaptureCoalition:GetZoneName()`.
  --      
  --      --- @param Functional.ZoneCaptureCoalition#ZONE_CAPTURE_COALITION self
  --      function ZoneCaptureCoalition:OnEnterGuarded( From, Event, To )
  --        if From ~= To then
  --          local Coalition = self:GetCoalition()
  --          self:E( { Coalition = Coalition } )
  --          if Coalition == coalition.side.BLUE then
  --            ZoneCaptureCoalition:Smoke( SMOKECOLOR.Blue )
  --            US_CC:MessageTypeToCoalition( string.format( "%s is under protection of the USA", ZoneCaptureCoalition:GetZoneName() ), MESSAGE.Type.Information )
  --            RU_CC:MessageTypeToCoalition( string.format( "%s is under protection of the USA", ZoneCaptureCoalition:GetZoneName() ), MESSAGE.Type.Information )
  --          else
  --            ZoneCaptureCoalition:Smoke( SMOKECOLOR.Red )
  --            RU_CC:MessageTypeToCoalition( string.format( "%s is under protection of Russia", ZoneCaptureCoalition:GetZoneName() ), MESSAGE.Type.Information )
  --            US_CC:MessageTypeToCoalition( string.format( "%s is under protection of Russia", ZoneCaptureCoalition:GetZoneName() ), MESSAGE.Type.Information )
  --          end
  --        end
  --      end
  -- 
  -- As you can see, not a rocket science.
  -- Next is the Event Handler when the **Empty** state transition is triggered.
  -- Now we smoke the ZoneCaptureCoalition with a green color, using `self:Smoke( SMOKECOLOR.Green )`.
  --      
  --      --- @param Functional.Protect#ZONE_CAPTURE_COALITION self
  --      function ZoneCaptureCoalition:OnEnterEmpty()
  --        self:Smoke( SMOKECOLOR.Green )
  --        US_CC:MessageTypeToCoalition( string.format( "%s is unprotected, and can be captured!", ZoneCaptureCoalition:GetZoneName() ), MESSAGE.Type.Information )
  --        RU_CC:MessageTypeToCoalition( string.format( "%s is unprotected, and can be captured!", ZoneCaptureCoalition:GetZoneName() ), MESSAGE.Type.Information )
  --      end
  -- 
  -- The next Event Handlers speak for itself.
  -- When the zone is Attacked, we smoke the zone white and send some messages to each coalition.     
  --      
  --      --- @param Functional.Protect#ZONE_CAPTURE_COALITION self
  --      function ZoneCaptureCoalition:OnEnterAttacked()
  --        ZoneCaptureCoalition:Smoke( SMOKECOLOR.White )
  --        local Coalition = self:GetCoalition()
  --        self:E({Coalition = Coalition})
  --        if Coalition == coalition.side.BLUE then
  --          US_CC:MessageTypeToCoalition( string.format( "%s is under attack by Russia", ZoneCaptureCoalition:GetZoneName() ), MESSAGE.Type.Information )
  --          RU_CC:MessageTypeToCoalition( string.format( "We are attacking %s", ZoneCaptureCoalition:GetZoneName() ), MESSAGE.Type.Information )
  --        else
  --          RU_CC:MessageTypeToCoalition( string.format( "%s is under attack by the USA", ZoneCaptureCoalition:GetZoneName() ), MESSAGE.Type.Information )
  --          US_CC:MessageTypeToCoalition( string.format( "We are attacking %s", ZoneCaptureCoalition:GetZoneName() ), MESSAGE.Type.Information )
  --        end
  --      end
  -- 
  -- When the zone is Captured, we send some victory or loss messages to the correct coalition.
  -- And we add some score.
  -- 
  --      --- @param Functional.Protect#ZONE_CAPTURE_COALITION self
  --      function ZoneCaptureCoalition:OnEnterCaptured()
  --        local Coalition = self:GetCoalition()

  --        if Coalition == coalition.side.BLUE then

  --          US_CC:MessageTypeToCoalition( string.format( "We captured %s, Excellent job!", ZoneCaptureCoalition:GetZoneName() ), MESSAGE.Type.Information )

  --        end
  --        
  --        self:__Guard( 30 )
  --      end
  -- 
  -- And this call is the most important of all!
  -- In the context of the mission, we need to start the zone capture monitoring process.
  -- Or nothing will be monitored and the zone won't change states.
  -- We start the monitoring after 5 seconds, and will repeat every 30 seconds a check.

--- **Functional** - Control artillery units.
--
-- ===
--
-- The ARTY class can be used to easily assign and manage targets for artillery units using an advanced queueing system.
--
-- ## Features:
--
--   * Multiple targets can be assigned. No restriction on number of targets.
--   * Targets can be given a priority. Engagement of targets is executed a according to their priority.
--   * Engagements can be scheduled, i.e. will be executed at a certain time of the day.
--   * Multiple relocations of the group can be assigned and scheduled via queueing system.
--   * Special weapon types can be selected for each attack, e.g. cruise missiles for Naval units.
--   * Automatic rearming once the artillery is out of ammo (optional).
--   * Automatic relocation after each firing engagement to prevent counter strikes (optional).
--   * Automatic relocation movements to get the battery within firing range (optional).
--   * Simulation of tactical nuclear shells as well as illumination and smoke shells.
--   * New targets can be added during the mission, e.g. when they are detected by recon units.
--   * Targets and relocations can be assigned by placing markers on the F10 map.
--   * Finite state machine implementation. Mission designer can interact when certain events occur.

-- @extends Core.Fsm#FSM_CONTROLLABLE

--- Enables mission designers easily to assign targets for artillery units. Since the implementation is based on a Finite State Model (FSM), the mission designer can
-- interact with the process at certain events or states.
--
-- A new ARTY object can be created with the @{#ARTY.New}(*group*) contructor.
-- The parameter *group* has to be a MOOSE Group object and defines ARTY group.
--
-- The ARTY FSM process can be started by the @{#ARTY.Start}() command.
--
-- ## The ARTY Process
--
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\ARTY\ARTY_Process.png)
--
-- ### Blue Branch
-- After the FMS process is started the ARTY group will be in the state **CombatReady**. Once a target is assigned the **OpenFire** event will be triggered and the group starts
-- firing. At this point the group in in the state **Firing**.
-- When the defined number of shots has been fired on the current target the event **CeaseFire** is triggered. The group will stop firing and go back to the state **CombatReady**.
-- If another target is defined (or multiple engagements of the same target), the cycle starts anew.
--
-- ### Violet Branch
-- When the ARTY group runs out of ammunition, the event **Winchester** is triggered and the group enters the state **OutOfAmmo**.
-- In this state, the group is unable to engage further targets.
--
-- ### Red Branch
-- With the @{#ARTY.SetRearmingGroup}(*group*) command, a special group can be defined to rearm the ARTY group. If this unit has been assigned and the group has entered the state
-- **OutOfAmmo** the event **Rearm** is triggered followed by a transition to the state **Rearming**.
-- If the rearming group is less than 100 meters away from the ARTY group, the rearming process starts. If the rearming group is more than 100 meters away from the ARTY unit, the
-- rearming group is routed to a point 20 to 100 m from the ARTY group.
--
-- Once the rearming is complete, the **Rearmed** event is triggered and the group enters the state **CombatReady**. At this point targeted can be engaged again.
--
-- ### Green Branch
-- The ARTY group can be ordered to change its position via the @{#ARTY.AssignMoveCoord}() function as described below. When the group receives the command to move
-- the event **Move** is triggered and the state changes to **Moving**. When the unit arrives to its destination the event **Arrived** is triggered and the group
-- becomes **CombatReady** again.
--
-- Note, that the ARTY group will not open fire while it is in state **Moving**. This property differentiates artillery from tanks.
--
-- ### Yellow Branch
-- When a new target is assigned via the @{#ARTY.AssignTargetCoord}() function (see below), the **NewTarget** event is triggered.
--
-- ## Assigning Targets
-- Assigning targets is a central point of the ARTY class. Multiple targets can be assigned simultanioulsly and are put into a queue.
-- Of course, targets can be added at any time during the mission. For example, once they are detected by a reconnaissance unit.
--
-- In order to add a target, the function @{#ARTY.AssignTargetCoord}(*coord*, *prio*, *radius*, *nshells*, *maxengage*, *time*, *weapontype*, *name*) has to be used.
-- Only the first parameter *coord* is mandatory while all remaining parameters are all optional.
--
-- ### Parameters:
--
-- * *coord*: Coordinates of the target, given as @{Core.Point#COORDINATE} object.
-- * *prio*: Priority of the target. This a number between 1 (high prio) and 100 (low prio). Targets with higher priority are engaged before targets with lower priority.
-- * *radius*: Radius in meters which defines the area the ARTY group will attempt to be hitting. Default is 100 meters.
-- * *nshells*: Number of shots (shells, rockets, missiles) fired by the group at each engagement of a target. Default is 5.
-- * *maxengage*: Number of times a target is engaged.
-- * *time*: Time of day the engagement is schedule in the format "hh:mm:ss" for hh=hours, mm=minutes, ss=seconds.
-- For example "10:15:35". In the case the attack will be executed at a quarter past ten in the morning at the day the mission started.
-- If the engagement should start on the following day the format can be specified as "10:15:35+1", where the +1 denots the following day.
-- This is useful for longer running missions or if the mission starts at 23:00 hours and the attack should be scheduled at 01:00 hours on the following day.
-- Of course, later days are also possible by appending "+2", "+3", etc.
-- **Note** that the time has to be given as a string. So the enclosing quotation marks "" are important.
-- * *weapontype*: Specified the weapon type that should be used for this attack if the ARTY group has multiple weapons to engage the target.
-- For example, this is useful for naval units which carry a bigger arsenal (cannons and missiles). Default is Auto, i.e. DCS logic selects the appropriate weapon type.
-- *name*: A special name can be defined for this target. Default name are the coordinates of the target in LL DMS format. If a name is already given for another target
-- or the same target should be attacked two or more times with different parameters a suffix "#01", "#02", "#03" is automatically appended to the specified name.
--
-- ## Target Queue
-- In case multiple targets have been defined, it is important to understand how the target queue works.
--
-- Here, the essential parameters are the priority *prio*, the number of engagements *maxengage* and the scheduled *time* as described above.
--
-- For example, we have assigned two targets one with *prio*=10 and the other with *prio*=50 and both targets should be engaged three times (*maxengage*=3).
-- Let's first consider the case that none of the targets is scheduled to be executed at a certain time (*time*=nil).
-- The ARTY group will first engage the target with higher priority (*prio*=10). After the engagement is finished, the target with lower priority is attacked.
-- This is because the target with lower prio has been attacked one time less. After the attack on the lower priority task is finished and both targets
-- have been engaged equally often, the target with the higher priority is engaged again. This coninues until a target has engaged three times.
-- Once the maximum number of engagements is reached, the target is deleted from the queue.
--
-- In other words, the queue is first sorted with respect to the number of engagements and targets with the same number of engagements are sorted with
-- respect to their priority.
--
-- ### Timed Engagements

-- As mentioned above, targets can be engaged at a specific time of the day via the *time* parameter.
--
-- If the *time* parameter is specified for a target, the first engagement of that target will happen at that time of the day and not before.
-- This also applies when multiple engagements are requested via the *maxengage* parameter. The first attack will not happen before the specifed time.
-- When that timed attack is finished, the *time* parameter is deleted and the remaining engagements are carried out in the same manner as for untimed targets (described above).
--
-- Of course, it can happen that a scheduled task should be executed at a time, when another target is already under attack.
-- If the priority of the target is higher than the priority of the current target, then the current attack is cancelled and the engagement of the target with the higher
-- priority is started.
--
-- By contrast, if the current target has a higher priority than the target scheduled at that time, the current attack is finished before the scheduled attack is started.
--
-- ## Determining the Amount of Ammo
--
-- In order to determin when a unit is out of ammo and possible initiate the rearming process it is necessary to know which types of weapons have to be counted.
-- For most artillery unit types, this is simple because they only have one type of weapon and hence ammunition.
--
-- However, there are more complex scenarios. For example, naval units carry a big arsenal of different ammunition types ranging from various cannon shell types
-- over surface-to-air missiles to cruise missiles. Obviously, not all of these ammo types can be employed for artillery tasks.
--
-- Unfortunately, there is no easy way to count only those ammo types useable as artillery. Therefore, to keep the implementation general the user
-- can specify the names of the ammo types by the following functions:
--
-- * @{#ARTY.SetShellTypes}(*tableofnames*): Defines the ammo types for unguided cannons, e.g. *tableofnames*={"weapons.shells"}, i.e. **all** types of shells are counted.
-- * @{#ARTY.SetRocketTypes}(*tableofnames*): Defines the ammo types of unguided rockets, e.g. *tableofnames*={"weapons.nurs"}, i.e. **all** types of rockets are counted.
-- * @{#ARTY.SetMissileTypes}(*tableofnames*): Defines the ammo types of guided missiles, e.g. is *tableofnames*={"weapons.missiles"}, i.e. **all** types of missiles are counted.
--
-- **Note** that the default parameters "weapons.shells", "weapons.nurs", "weapons.missiles" **should in priciple** capture all the corresponding ammo types.
-- However, the logic searches for the string "weapon.missies" in the ammo type. Especially for missiles, this string is often not contained in the ammo type descriptor.
--
-- One way to determin which types of ammo the unit carries, one can use the debug mode of the arty class via @{#ARTY.SetDebugON}().
-- In debug mode, the all ammo types of the group are printed to the monitor as message and can be found in the DCS.log file.
--
-- ## Employing Selected Weapons
--
-- If an ARTY group carries multiple weapons, which can be used for artillery task, a certain weapon type can be selected to attack the target.
-- This is done via the *weapontype* parameter of the @{#ARTY.AssignTargetCoord}(..., *weapontype*, ...) function.
--
-- The enumerator @{#ARTY.WeaponType} has been defined to select a certain weapon type. Supported values are:
--
-- * @{#ARTY.WeaponType}.Auto: Automatic weapon selection by the DCS logic. This is the default setting.
-- * @{#ARTY.WeaponType}.Cannon: Only cannons are used during the attack. Corresponding ammo type are shells and can be defined by @{#ARTY.SetShellTypes}.
-- * @{#ARTY.WeaponType}.Rockets: Only unguided are used during the attack. Corresponding ammo type are rockets/nurs and can be defined by @{#ARTY.SetRocketTypes}.
-- * @{#ARTY.WeaponType}.CruiseMissile: Only cruise missiles are used during the attack. Corresponding ammo type are missiles and can be defined by @{#ARTY.SetMissileTypes}.
-- * @{#ARTY.WeaponType}.TacticalNukes: Use tactical nuclear shells. This works only with units that have shells and is described below.
-- * @{#ARTY.WeaponType}.IlluminationShells: Use illumination shells. This works only with units that have shells and is described below.
-- * @{#ARTY.WeaponType}.SmokeShells: Use smoke shells. This works only with units that have shells and is described below.
--
-- ## Assigning Relocation Movements
-- The ARTY group can be commanded to move. This is done by the @{#ARTY.AssignMoveCoord}(*coord*, *time*, *speed*, *onroad*, *cancel*, *name*) function.
-- With this multiple timed moves of the group can be scheduled easily. By default, these moves will only be executed if the group is state **CombatReady**.
--
-- ### Parameters
--
-- * *coord*: Coordinates where the group should move to given as @{Core.Point#COORDINATE} object.
-- * *time*: The time when the move should be executed. This has to be given as a string in the format "hh:mm:ss" (hh=hours, mm=minutes, ss=seconds).
-- * *speed*: Speed of the group in km/h.
-- * *onroad*: If this parameter is set to true, the group uses mainly roads to get to the commanded coordinates.
-- * *cancel*: If set to true, any current engagement of targets is cancelled at the time the move should be executed.
-- * *name*: Can be used to set a user defined name of the move. By default the name is created from the LL DMS coordinates.
--
-- ## Automatic Rearming
--
-- If an ARTY group runs out of ammunition, it can be rearmed automatically.
--
-- ### Rearming Group
-- The first way to activate the automatic rearming is to define a rearming group with the function @{#ARTY.SetRearmingGroup}(*group*). For the blue side, this
-- could be a M181 transport truck and for the red side an Ural-375 truck.
--
-- Once the ARTY group is out of ammo and the **Rearm** event is triggered, the defined rearming truck will drive to the ARTY group.
-- So the rearming truck does not have to be placed nearby the artillery group. When the rearming is complete, the rearming truck will drive back to its original position.
--
-- ### Rearming Place
-- The second alternative is to define a rearming place, e.g. a FRAP, airport or any other warehouse. This is done with the function @{#ARTY.SetRearmingPlace}(*coord*).
-- The parameter *coord* specifies the coordinate of the rearming place which should not be further away then 100 meters from the warehouse.
--
-- When the **Rearm** event is triggered, the ARTY group will move to the rearming place. Of course, the group must be mobil. So for a mortar this rearming procedure would not work.
--
-- After the rearming is complete, the ARTY group will move back to its original position and resume normal operations.
--
-- ### Rearming Group **and** Rearming Place
-- If both a rearming group *and* a rearming place are specified like described above, both the ARTY group and the rearming truck will move to the rearming place and meet there.
--
-- After the rearming is complete, both groups will move back to their original positions.
--
-- ## Simulated Weapons
--
-- In addtion to the standard weapons a group has available some special weapon types that are not possible to use in the native DCS environment are simulated.
--
-- ### Tactical Nukes
--
-- ARTY groups that can fire shells can also be used to fire tactical nukes. This is achieved by setting the weapon type to **ARTY.WeaponType.TacticalNukes** in the
-- @{#ARTY.AssignTargetCoord}() function.
--
-- By default, they group does not have any nukes available. To give the group the ability the function @{#ARTY.SetTacNukeShells}(*n*) can be used.
-- This supplies the group with *n* nuclear shells, where *n* is restricted to the number of conventional shells the group can carry.
-- Note that the group must always have convenctional shells left in order to fire a nuclear shell.
--
-- The default explostion strength is 0.075 kilo tons TNT. The can be changed with the @{#ARTY.SetTacNukeWarhead}(*strength*), where *strength* is given in kilo tons TNT.
--
-- ### Illumination Shells
--
-- ARTY groups that possess shells can fire shells with illumination bombs. First, the group needs to be equipped with this weapon. This is done by the
-- function @{ARTY.SetIlluminationShells}(*n*, *power*), where *n* is the number of shells the group has available and *power* the illumination power in mega candela (mcd).
--
-- In order to execute an engagement with illumination shells one has to use the weapon type *ARTY.WeaponType.IlluminationShells* in the
-- @{#ARTY.AssignTargetCoord}() function.
--
-- In the simulation, the explosive shell that is fired is destroyed once it gets close to the target point but before it can actually impact.
-- At this position an illumination bomb is triggered at a random altitude between 500 and 1000 meters. This interval can be set by the function
-- @{ARTY.SetIlluminationMinMaxAlt}(*minalt*, *maxalt*).
--
-- ### Smoke Shells
--
-- In a similar way to illumination shells, ARTY groups can also employ smoke shells. The numer of smoke shells the group has available is set by the function
-- @{#ARTY.SetSmokeShells}(*n*, *color*), where *n* is the number of shells and *color* defines the smoke color. Default is SMOKECOLOR.Red.
--
-- The weapon type to be used in the @{#ARTY.AssignTargetCoord}() function is *ARTY.WeaponType.SmokeShells*.
--
-- The explosive shell the group fired is destroyed shortly before its impact on the ground and smoke of the speficied color is triggered at that position.
--
--
-- ## Assignments via Markers on F10 Map
--
-- Targets and relocations can be assigned by players via placing a mark on the F10 map. The marker text must contain certain keywords.
--
-- This feature can be turned on with the @{#ARTY.SetMarkAssignmentsOn}(*key*, *readonly*). The parameter *key* is optional. When set, it can be used as PIN, i.e. only
-- players who know the correct key are able to assign and cancel targets or relocations. Default behavior is that all players belonging to the same coalition as the
-- ARTY group are able to assign targets and moves without a key.
--
-- ### Target Assignments
-- A new target can be assigned by writing **arty engage** in the marker text.
-- This is followed by a **comma separated list** of (optional) keywords and parameters.
-- First, it is important to address the ARTY group or groups that should engage. This can be done in numrous ways. The keywords are *battery*, *alias*, *cluster*.
-- It is also possible to address all ARTY groups by the keyword *everyone* or *allbatteries*. These two can be used synonymously.
-- **Note that**, if no battery is assigned nothing will happen.
--
-- * *everyone* or *allbatteries* The target is assigned to all batteries.
-- * *battery* Name of the ARTY group that the target is assigned to. Note that **the name is case sensitive** and has to be given in quotation marks. Default is all ARTY groups of the right coalition.
-- * *alias* Alias of the ARTY group that the target is assigned to. The alias is **case sensitive** and needs to be in quotation marks.
-- * *cluster* The cluster of ARTY groups that is addessed. Clusters can be defined by the function @{#ARTY.AddToCluster}(*clusters*). Names are **case sensitive** and need to be in quotation marks.
-- * *key* A number to authorize the target assignment. Only specifing the correct number will trigger an engagement.
-- * *time* Time for which which the engagement is schedules, e.g. 08:42. Default is as soon as possible.
-- * *prio*  Priority of the engagement as number between 1 (high prio) and 100 (low prio). Default is 50, i.e. medium priority.
-- * *shots* Number of shots (shells, rockets or missiles) fired at each engagement. Default is 5.
-- * *maxengage* Number of times the target is engaged. Default is 1.
-- * *radius* Scattering radius of the fired shots in meters. Default is 100 m.
-- * *weapon* Type of weapon to be used. Valid parameters are *cannon*, *rocket*, *missile*, *nuke*. Default is automatic selection.
-- * *lldms* Specify the coordinates in Lat/Long degrees, minutes and seconds format. The actual location of the marker is unimportant here. The group will engage the coordinates given in the lldms keyword.
-- Format is DD:MM:SS[N,S] DD:MM:SS[W,E]. See example below. This can be useful when coordinates in this format are obtained from elsewhere.
-- * *readonly* The marker is readonly and cannot be deleted by users. Hence, assignment cannot be cancelled by removing the marker.
--
-- Here are examples of valid marker texts:
--      arty engage, battery "Blue Paladin Alpha"
--      arty engage, everyone
--      arty engage, allbatteries
--      arty engage, alias "Bob", weapon missiles
--      arty engage, cluster "All Mortas"
--      arty engage, cluster "Northern Batteries" "Southern Batteries"
--      arty engage, cluster "Northern Batteries", cluster "Southern Batteries"
--      arty engage, cluster "Horwitzers", shots 20, prio 10, time 08:15, weapon cannons
--      arty engage, battery "Blue Paladin 1" "Blue MRLS 1", shots 10, time 10:15
--      arty engage, battery "Blue MRLS 1", key 666
--      arty engage, battery "Paladin Alpha", weapon nukes, shots 1, time 20:15
--      arty engage, battery "Horwitzer 1", lldms 41:51:00N 41:47:58E
--
-- Note that the keywords and parameters are *case insensitve*. Only exception are the battery, alias and cluster names.
-- These must be exactly the same as the names of the goups defined in the mission editor or the aliases and cluster names defined in the script.
--
-- ### Relocation Assignments
--
-- Markers can also be used to relocate the group with the keyphrase **arty move**. This is done in a similar way as assigning targets. Here, the (optional) keywords and parameters are:
--
-- * *time* Time for which which the relocation/move is schedules, e.g. 08:42. Default is as soon as possible.
-- * *speed* The speed in km/h the group will drive at. Default is 70% of its max possible speed.
-- * *on road* Group will use mainly roads. Default is off, i.e. it will go in a straight line from its current position to the assigned coordinate.
-- * *canceltarget* Group will cancel all running firing engagements and immidiately start to move. Default is that group will wait until is current assignment is over.
-- * *battery* Name of the ARTY group that the relocation is assigned to.
-- * *alias* Alias of the ARTY group that the target is assigned to. The alias is **case sensitive** and needs to be in quotation marks.
-- * *cluster* The cluster of ARTY groups that is addessed. Clusters can be defined by the function @{#ARTY.AddToCluster}(*clusters*). Names are **case sensitive** and need to be in quotation marks.
-- * *key* A number to authorize the target assignment. Only specifing the correct number will trigger an engagement.
-- * *lldms* Specify the coordinates in Lat/Long degrees, minutes and seconds format. The actual location of the marker is unimportant. The group will move to the coordinates given in the lldms keyword.
-- Format is DD:MM:SS[N,S] DD:MM:SS[W,E]. See example below.
-- * *readonly* Marker cannot be deleted by users any more. Hence, assignment cannot be cancelled by removing the marker.
--
-- Here are some examples:
--      arty move, battery "Blue Paladin"
--      arty move, battery "Blue MRLS", canceltarget, speed 10, on road
--      arty move, cluster "mobile", lldms 41:51:00N 41:47:58E
--      arty move, alias "Bob", weapon missiles
--      arty move, cluster "All Howitzer"
--      arty move, cluster "Northern Batteries" "Southern Batteries"
--      arty move, cluster "Northern Batteries", cluster "Southern Batteries"
--      arty move, everyone
--
-- ### Requests
--
-- Marks can also be to send requests to the ARTY group. This is done by the keyword **arty request**, which can have the keywords
--
-- * *target* All assigned targets are reported.
-- * *move* All assigned relocation moves are reported.
-- * *ammo* Current ammunition status is reported.
--
-- For example
--      arty request, everyone, ammo
--      arty request, battery "Paladin Bravo", targets
--      arty request, cluster "All Mortars", move
--
-- The actual location of the marker is irrelevant for these requests.
--
-- ### Cancel
--
-- Current actions can be cancelled by the keyword **arty cancel**. Actions that can be cancelled are current engagements, relocations and rearming assignments.
--
-- For example
--      arty cancel, target, battery "Paladin Bravo"
--      arty cancel, everyone, move
--      arty cancel, rearming, battery "MRLS Charly"
--
-- ### Settings
--
-- A few options can be set by marks. The corresponding keyword is **arty set**. This can be used to define the rearming place and group for a battery.
--
-- To set the reamring place of a group at the marker position type
--      arty set, battery "Paladin Alpha", rearming place
--
-- Setting the rearming group is independent of the position of the mark. Just create one anywhere on the map and type
--      arty set, battery "Mortar Bravo", rearming group "Ammo Truck M818"
-- Note that the name of the rearming group has to be given in quotation marks and spellt exactly as the group name defined in the mission editor.
--
-- ## Transporting
--
-- ARTY groups can be transported to another location as @{Cargo.Cargo} by means of classes such as @{AI.AI_Cargo_APC}, @{AI.AI_Cargo_Dispatcher_APC},
-- @{AI.AI_Cargo_Helicopter}, @{AI.AI_Cargo_Dispatcher_Helicopter} or @{AI.AI_Cargo_Airplane}.
--
-- In order to do this, one needs to define an ARTY object via the @{#ARTY.NewFromCargoGroup}(*cargogroup*, *alias*) function.
-- The first argument *cargogroup* has to be a @{Cargo.CargoGroup#CARGO_GROUP} object. The second argument *alias* is a string which can be freely chosen by the user.
--
-- ## Fine Tuning
--
-- The mission designer has a few options to tailor the ARTY object according to his needs.
--
-- * @{#ARTY.SetAutoRelocateToFiringRange}(*maxdist*, *onroad*) lets the ARTY group automatically move to within firing range if a current target is outside the min/max firing range. The
-- optional parameter *maxdist* is the maximum distance im km the group will move. If the distance is greater no relocation is performed. Default is 50 km.
-- * @{#ARTY.SetAutoRelocateAfterEngagement}(*rmax*, *rmin*) will cause the ARTY group to change its position after each firing assignment.
-- Optional parameters *rmax*, *rmin* define the max/min distance for relocation of the group. Default distance is randomly between 300 and 800 m.
-- * @{#ARTY.AddToCluster}(*clusters*) Can be used to add the ARTY group to one or more clusters. All groups in a cluster can be addressed simultaniously with one marker command.
-- * @{#ARTY.SetSpeed}(*speed*) sets the speed in km/h the group moves at if not explicitly stated otherwise.
-- * @{#ARTY.RemoveAllTargets}() removes all targets from the target queue.
-- * @{#ARTY.RemoveTarget}(*name*) deletes the target with *name* from the target queue.
-- * @{#ARTY.SetMaxFiringRange}(*range*) defines the maximum firing range. Targets further away than this distance are not engaged.
-- * @{#ARTY.SetMinFiringRange}(*range*) defines the minimum firing range. Targets closer than this distance are not engaged.
-- * @{#ARTY.SetRearmingGroup}(*group*) sets the group responsible for rearming of the ARTY group once it is out of ammo.
-- * @{#ARTY.SetReportON}() and @{#ARTY.SetReportOFF}() can be used to enable/disable status reports of the ARTY group send to all coalition members.
-- * @{#ARTY.SetWaitForShotTime}(*waittime*) sets the time after which a target is deleted from the queue if no shooting event occured after the target engagement started.
-- Default is 300 seconds. Note that this can for example happen, when the assigned target is out of range.
-- *  @{#ARTY.SetDebugON}() and @{#ARTY.SetDebugOFF}() can be used to enable/disable the debug mode.
--
-- ## Examples
--
-- ### Assigning Multiple Targets
-- This basic example illustrates how to assign multiple targets and defining a rearming group.
--     -- Creat a new ARTY object from a Paladin group.
--     paladin=ARTY:New(GROUP:FindByName("Blue Paladin"))
--
--     -- Define a rearming group. This is a Transport M818 truck.
--     paladin:SetRearmingGroup(GROUP:FindByName("Blue Ammo Truck"))
--
--     -- Set the max firing range. A Paladin unit has a range of 20 km.
--     paladin:SetMaxFiringRange(20)
--
--     -- Low priorty (90) target, will be engage last. Target is engaged two times. At each engagement five shots are fired.
--     paladin:AssignTargetCoord(GROUP:FindByName("Red Targets 3"):GetCoordinate(),  90, nil,  5, 2)
--     -- Medium priorty (nil=50) target, will be engage second. Target is engaged two times. At each engagement ten shots are fired.
--     paladin:AssignTargetCoord(GROUP:FindByName("Red Targets 1"):GetCoordinate(), nil, nil, 10, 2)
--     -- High priorty (10) target, will be engage first. Target is engaged three times. At each engagement twenty shots are fired.
--     paladin:AssignTargetCoord(GROUP:FindByName("Red Targets 2"):GetCoordinate(),  10, nil, 20, 3)
--
--     -- Start ARTY process.
--     paladin:Start()
-- **Note**
--
-- * If a parameter should be set to its default value, it has to be set to *nil* if other non-default parameters follow. Parameters at the end can simply be skiped.
-- * In this example, the target coordinates are taken from groups placed in the mission edit using the COORDINATE:GetCoordinate() function.
--
-- ### Scheduled Engagements
--     -- Mission starts at 8 o'clock.
--     -- Assign two scheduled targets.
--
--     -- Create ARTY object from Paladin group.
--     paladin=ARTY:New(GROUP:FindByName("Blue Paladin"))
--
--     -- Assign target coordinates. Priority=50 (medium), radius=100 m, use 5 shells per engagement, engage 1 time at two past 8 o'clock.
--     paladin:AssignTargetCoord(GROUP:FindByName("Red Targets 1"):GetCoordinate(), 50, 100,  5, 1, "08:02:00", ARTY.WeaponType.Auto, "Target 1")
--
--     -- Assign target coordinates. Priority=10 (high), radius=300 m, use 10 shells per engagement, engage 1 time at seven past 8 o'clock.
--     paladin:AssignTargetCoord(GROUP:FindByName("Red Targets 2"):GetCoordinate(), 10, 300, 10, 1, "08:07:00", ARTY.WeaponType.Auto, "Target 2")
--
--     -- Start ARTY process.
--     paladin:Start()
--
-- ### Specific Weapons
-- This example demonstrates how to use specific weapons during an engagement.
--     -- Define the Normandy as ARTY object.
--     normandy=ARTY:New(GROUP:FindByName("Normandy"))
--
--     -- Add target: prio=50, radius=300 m, number of missiles=20, number of engagements=1, start time=08:05 hours, only use cruise missiles for this attack.
--     normandy:AssignTargetCoord(GROUP:FindByName("Red Targets 1"):GetCoordinate(),  20, 300,  50, 1, "08:01:00", ARTY.WeaponType.CruiseMissile)
--
--     -- Add target: prio=50, radius=300 m, number of shells=100, number of engagements=1, start time=08:15 hours, only use cannons during this attack.
--     normandy:AssignTargetCoord(GROUP:FindByName("Red Targets 1"):GetCoordinate(),  50, 300, 100, 1, "08:15:00", ARTY.WeaponType.Cannon)
--
--     -- Define shells that are counted to check whether the ship is out of ammo.
--     -- Note that this is necessary because the Normandy has a lot of other shell type weapons which cannot be used to engage ground targets in an artillery style manner.
--     normandy:SetShellTypes({"MK45_127"})
--
--     -- Define missile types that are counted.
--     normandy:SetMissileTypes({"BGM"})
--
--     -- Start ARTY process.
--     normandy:Start()
--
-- ### Transportation as Cargo
-- This example demonstates how an ARTY group can be transported to another location as cargo.
--      -- Define a group as CARGO_GROUP
--      CargoGroupMortars=CARGO_GROUP:New(GROUP:FindByName("Mortars"), "Mortars", "Mortar Platoon Alpha", 100 , 10)
--
--      -- Define the mortar CARGO GROUP as ARTY object
--      mortars=ARTY:NewFromCargoGroup(CargoGroupMortars, "Mortar Platoon Alpha")
--
--      -- Start ARTY process
--      mortars:Start()
--
--      -- Setup AI cargo dispatcher for e.g. helos
--      SetHeloCarriers = SET_GROUP:New():FilterPrefixes("CH-47D"):FilterStart()
--      SetCargoMortars = SET_CARGO:New():FilterTypes("Mortars"):FilterStart()
--      SetZoneDepoly   = SET_ZONE:New():FilterPrefixes("Deploy"):FilterStart()
--      CargoHelo=AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_HELICOPTER:New(SetHeloCarriers, SetCargoMortars, SetZoneDepoly)
--      CargoHelo:Start()
-- The ARTY group will be transported and resume its normal operation after it has been deployed. New targets can be assigned at any time also during the transportation process.

-- TODO list:
-- TODO: Add hit event and make the arty group relocate.
-- TODO: Handle rearming for ships. How?
-- DONE: Delete targets from queue user function.
-- DONE: Delete entire target queue user function.
-- DONE: Add weapon types. Done but needs improvements.
-- DONE: Add user defined rearm weapon types.
-- DONE: Check if target is in range. Maybe this requires a data base with the ranges of all arty units. <solved by user function>
-- DONE: Make ARTY move to rearming position.
-- DONE: Check that right rearming vehicle is specified. Blue M818, Red Ural-375. Are there more? <user needs to know!>
-- DONE: Check if ARTY group is still alive.
-- DONE: Handle dead events.
-- DONE: Abort firing task if no shooting event occured with 5(?) minutes. Something went wrong then. Min/max range for example.
-- DONE: Improve assigned time for engagement. Next day?
-- DONE: Improve documentation.
-- DONE: Add pseudo user transitions. OnAfter...
-- DONE: Make reaming unit a group.
-- DONE: Write documenation.
-- DONE: Add command move to make arty group move.
-- DONE: remove schedulers for status event.
-- DONE: Improve handling of special weapons. When winchester if using selected weapons?
-- DONE: Make coordinate after rearming general, i.e. also work after the group has moved to anonther location.
-- DONE: Add set commands via markers. E.g. set rearming place.
-- DONE: Test stationary types like mortas ==> rearming etc.
-- DONE: Add illumination and smoke.

--- **Functional** - Suppress fire of ground units when they get hit.
-- 
-- ===
-- 
-- ## Features:
-- 
--   * Hold fire of attacked units when being fired upon.
--   * Retreat to a user defined zone.
--   * Fall back on hits.
--   * Take cover on hits.
--   * Gaussian distribution of suppression time.
--
-- ===
-- 
-- ## Missions:
--
-- ## [MOOSE - ALL Demo Missions](https://github.com/FlightControl-Master/MOOSE_MISSIONS)
-- 
-- === 
-- 
-- When ground units get hit by (suppressive) enemy fire, they will not be able to shoot back for a certain amount of time.
-- 
-- The implementation is based on an idea and script by MBot. See the [DCS forum threat](https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=107635) for details.
-- 
-- In addition to suppressing the fire, conditions can be specified, which let the group retreat to a defined zone, move away from the attacker
-- or hide at a nearby scenery object.

-- 
-- ## Suppression Process
-- 
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\SUPPRESSION\Suppression_Process.png)
-- 
-- The suppression process can be described as follows.
-- 
-- ### CombatReady
-- 
-- A group starts in the state **CombatReady**. In this state the group is ready to fight. The ROE is set to either "Weapon Free" or "Return Fire".
-- The alarm state is set to either "Auto" or "Red".
-- 
-- ### Event Hit
-- The most important event in this scenario is the **Hit** event. This is an event of the FSM and triggered by the DCS event hit.
-- 
-- ### Suppressed
-- After the **Hit** event the group changes its state to **Suppressed**. Technically, the ROE of the group is changed to "Weapon Hold".
-- The suppression of the group will last a certain amount of time. It is randomized an will vary each time the group is hit.
-- The expected suppression time is set to 15 seconds by default. But the actual value is sampled from a Gaussian distribution.
--  
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\SUPPRESSION\Suppression_Gaussian.png)
-- 
-- The graph shows the distribution of suppression times if a group would be hit 100,000 times. As can be seen, on most hits the group gets
-- suppressed for around 15 seconds. Other values are also possible but they become less likely the further away from the "expected" suppression time they are.
-- Minimal and maximal suppression times can also be specified. By default these are set to 5 and 25 seconds, respectively. This can also be seen in the graph
-- because the tails of the Gaussian distribution are cut off at these values.
-- 
-- ### Event Recovered
-- After the suppression time is over, the event **Recovered** is initiated and the group becomes **CombatReady** again.
-- The ROE of the group will be set to "Weapon Free".
-- 
-- Of course, it can also happen that a group is hit again while it is still suppressed. In that case a new random suppression time is calculated.
-- If the new suppression time is longer than the remaining suppression of the previous hit, then the group recovers when the suppression time of the last
-- hit has passed.
-- If the new suppression time is shorter than the remaining suppression, the group will recover after the longer time of the first suppression has passed.
-- 
-- For example:
-- 
-- * A group gets hit the first time and is suppressed for - let's say - 15 seconds.
-- * After 10 seconds, i.e. when 5 seconds of the old suppression are left, the group gets hit a again.
-- * A new suppression time is calculated which can be smaller or larger than the remaining 5 seconds.
-- * If the new suppression time is smaller, e.g. three seconds, than five seconds, the group will recover after the 5 remaining seconds of the first suppression have passed.
-- * If the new suppression time is longer than last suppression time, e.g. 10 seconds, then the group will recover after the 10 seconds of the new hit have passed.
-- 
-- Generally speaking, the suppression times are not just added on top of each other. Because this could easily lead to the situation that a group 
-- never becomes CombatReady again before it gets destroyed.
-- 
-- The mission designer can capture the event **Recovered** by the function @{#SUPPRESSION.OnAfterRecovered}().
-- 
-- ## Flee Events and States
-- Apart from being suppressed the groups can also flee from the enemy under certain conditions.
-- 
-- ### Event Retreat
-- The first option is a retreat. This can be enabled by setting a retreat zone, i.e. a trigger zone defined in the mission editor.
-- 
-- If the group takes a certain amount of damage, the event **Retreat** will be called and the group will start to move to the retreat zone.
-- The group will be in the state **Retreating**, which means that its ROE is set to "Weapon Hold" and the alarm state is set to "Green".
-- Setting the alarm state to green is necessary to enable the group to move under fire.
-- 
-- When the group has reached the retreat zone, the event **Retreated** is triggered and the state will change to **Retreated** (note that both the event and
-- the state of the same name in this case). ROE and alarm state are
-- set to "Return Fire" and "Auto", respectively. The group will stay in the retreat zone and not actively participate in the combat any more.
-- 
-- If no option retreat zone has been specified, the option retreat is not available.
-- 
-- The mission designer can capture the events **Retreat** and **Retreated** by the functions @{#SUPPRESSION.OnAfterRetreat}() and @{#SUPPRESSION.OnAfterRetreated}().
-- 
-- ### Fallback
-- 
-- If a group is attacked by another ground group, it has the option to fall back, i.e. move away from the enemy. The probability of the event **FallBack** to
-- happen depends on the damage of the group that was hit. The more a group gets damaged, the more likely **FallBack** event becomes.
-- 
-- If the group enters the state **FallingBack** it will move 100 meters in the opposite direction of the attacking unit. ROE and alarmstate are set to "Weapon Hold"
-- and "Green", respectively.
-- 
-- At the fallback point the group will wait for 60 seconds before it resumes its normal mission.
-- 
-- The mission designer can capture the event **FallBack** by the function @{#SUPPRESSION.OnAfterFallBack}().
-- 
-- ### TakeCover
-- 
-- If a group is hit by either another ground or air unit, it has the option to "take cover" or "hide". This means that the group will move to a random
-- scenery object in it vicinity.
-- 
-- Analogously to the fall back case, the probability of a **TakeCover** event to occur, depends on the damage of the group. The more a group is damaged, the more
-- likely it becomes that a group takes cover.
-- 
-- When a **TakeCover** event occurs an area with a radius of 300 meters around the hit group is searched for an arbitrary scenery object.
-- If at least one scenery object is found, the group will move there. One it has reached its "hideout", it will wait there for two minutes before it resumes its
-- normal mission.
-- 
-- If more than one scenery object is found, the group will move to a random one.
-- If no scenery object is near the group the **TakeCover** event is rejected and the group will not move.
-- 
-- The mission designer can capture the event **TakeCover** by the function @{#SUPPRESSION.OnAfterTakeCover}().
-- 
-- ### Choice of FallBack or TakeCover if both are enabled?
-- 
-- If both **FallBack** and **TakeCover** events are enabled by the functions @{#SUPPRESSION.Fallback}() and @{#SUPPRESSION.Takecover}() the algorithm does the following:
-- 
-- * If the attacking unit is a ground unit, then the **FallBack** event is executed.
-- * Otherwise, i.e. if the attacker is *not* a ground unit, then the **TakeCover** event is triggered.
-- 
-- ### FightBack
-- 
-- When a group leaves the states **TakingCover** or **FallingBack** the event **FightBack** is triggered. This changes the ROE and the alarm state back to their default values.
-- 
-- The mission designer can capture the event **FightBack** by the function @{#SUPPRESSION.OnAfterFightBack}()
-- 
-- # Examples
-- 
-- ## Simple Suppression
-- This example shows the basic steps to use suppressive fire for a group.
-- 
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\SUPPRESSION\Suppression_Example_01.png)
-- 
-- 
-- # Customization and Fine Tuning
-- The following user functions can be used to change the default values
-- 
-- * @{#SUPPRESSION.SetSuppressionTime}() can be used to set the time a goup gets suppressed.
-- * @{#SUPPRESSION.SetRetreatZone}() sets the retreat zone and enables the possiblity for the group to retreat.
-- * @{#SUPPRESSION.SetFallbackDistance}() sets a value how far the unit moves away from the attacker after the fallback event.
-- * @{#SUPPRESSION.SetFallbackWait}() sets the time after which the group resumes its mission after a FallBack event.
-- * @{#SUPPRESSION.SetTakecoverWait}() sets the time after which the group resumes its mission after a TakeCover event.
-- * @{#SUPPRESSION.SetTakecoverRange}() sets the radius in which hideouts are searched.
-- * @{#SUPPRESSION.SetTakecoverPlace}() explicitly sets the place where the group will run at a TakeCover event.
-- * @{#SUPPRESSION.SetMinimumFleeProbability}() sets the minimum probability that a group flees (FallBack or TakeCover) after a hit. Note taht the probability increases with damage.
-- * @{#SUPPRESSION.SetMaximumFleeProbability}() sets the maximum probability that a group flees (FallBack or TakeCover) after a hit. Default is 90%.
-- * @{#SUPPRESSION.SetRetreatDamage}() sets the damage a group/unit can take before it is ordered to retreat.
-- * @{#SUPPRESSION.SetRetreatWait}() sets the time a group waits in the retreat zone after a retreat.
-- * @{#SUPPRESSION.SetDefaultAlarmState}() sets the alarm state a group gets after it becomes CombatReady again.
-- * @{#SUPPRESSION.SetDefaultROE}() set the rules of engagement a group gets after it becomes CombatReady again.
-- * @{#SUPPRESSION.FlareOn}() is mainly for debugging. A flare is fired when a unit is hit, gets suppressed, recovers, dies.
-- * @{#SUPPRESSION.SmokeOn}() is mainly for debugging. Puts smoke on retreat zone, hideouts etc.
-- * @{#SUPPRESSION.MenuON}() is mainly for debugging. Activates a radio menu item where certain functions like retreat etc. can be triggered manually.

--- **Functional** - Rudimentary ATC.
--  
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\PSEUDOATC\PSEUDOATC_Main.jpg)
-- 
-- ====
-- 
-- The pseudo ATC enhances the standard DCS ATC functions.
-- 
-- In particular, a menu entry "Pseudo ATC" is created in the "F10 Other..." radiomenu.
-- 
-- ## Features:
-- 
-- * Weather report at nearby airbases and mission waypoints.
-- * Report absolute bearing and range to nearest airports and mission waypoints.
-- * Report current altitude AGL of own aircraft.
-- * Upon request, ATC reports altitude until touchdown.
-- * Works with static and dynamic weather.
-- * Player can select the unit system (metric or imperial) in which information is reported.
-- * All maps supported (Caucasus, NTTR, Normandy, Persian Gulf and all future maps).

--- PSEUDOATC class
-- @type PSEUDOATC
-- @field #string ClassName Name of the Class.
-- @field #table player Table comprising each player info.
-- @field #boolean Debug If true, print debug info to dcs.log file.
-- @field #number mdur Duration in seconds how low messages to the player are displayed.
-- @field #number mrefresh Interval in seconds after which the F10 menu is refreshed. E.g. by the closest airports. Default is 120 sec.
-- @field #number talt Interval in seconds between reporting altitude until touchdown. Default 3 sec.
-- @field #boolean chatty Display some messages on events like take-off and touchdown.
-- @field #boolean eventsmoose If true, events are handled by MOOSE. If false, events are handled directly by DCS eventhandler.
-- @extends Core.Base#BASE

--- Adds some rudimentary ATC functionality via the radio menu.
-- 
-- Local weather reports can be requested for nearby airports and player's mission waypoints.
-- The weather report includes
-- 
-- * QFE and QNH pressures,
-- * Temperature,
-- * Wind direction and strength.
-- 
-- The list of airports is updated every 60 seconds. This interval can be adjusted by the function @{#PSEUDOATC.SetMenuRefresh}(*interval*).
-- 
-- Likewise, absolute bearing and range to the close by airports and mission waypoints can be requested.
-- 
-- The player can switch the unit system in which all information is displayed during the mission with the MOOSE settings radio menu.
-- The unit system can be set to either imperial or metric. Altitudes are reported in feet or meter, distances in kilometers or nautical miles,
-- temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius and QFE/QNH pressues in inHg or mmHg.
-- Note that the pressures are also reported in hPa independent of the unit system setting.
-- 
-- In bad weather conditions, the ATC can "talk you down", i.e. will continuously report your altitude on the final approach.
-- Default reporting time interval is 3 seconds. This can be adjusted via the @{#PSEUDOATC.SetReportAltInterval}(*interval*) function.
-- The reporting stops automatically when the player lands or can be stopped manually by clicking on the radio menu item again.
-- So the radio menu item acts as a toggle to switch the reporting on and off.
-- 
-- ## Scripting
-- 
-- Scripting is almost trivial. Just add the following two lines to your script:
-- 
--     pseudoATC=PSEUDOATC:New()
--     pseudoATC:Start()
-- 
-- 
-- @field #PSEUDOATC

--
-- The MOOSE warehouse concept simulates the organization and implementation of complex operations regarding the flow of assets between the point of origin and the point of consumption
-- in order to meet requirements of a potential conflict. In particular, this class is concerned with maintaining army supply lines while disrupting those of the enemy, since an armed
-- force without resources and transportation is defenseless.

--
-- # The Warehouse Concept
--
-- The MOOSE warehouse adds a new logistic component to the DCS World. *Assets*, i.e. ground, airborne and naval units, can be transferred from one place
-- to another in a realistic and highly automatic fashion. In contrast to a "DCS warehouse" these assets have a physical representation in game. In particular,
-- this means they can be destroyed during the transport and add more life to the DCS world.
--
-- This comes along with some additional interesting strategic aspects since capturing/defending and destroying/protecting an enemy or your
-- own warehouse becomes of critical importance for the development of a conflict.
--
-- In essence, creating an efficient network of warehouses is vital for the success of a battle or even the whole war. Likewise, of course, cutting off the enemy
-- of important supply lines by capturing or destroying warehouses or their associated infrastructure is equally important.
--
-- ## What is a warehouse?
--
-- A warehouse is an abstract object represented by a physical (static) building that can hold virtual assets in stock.
-- It can (but it must not) be associated with a particular airbase. The associated airbase can be an airdrome, a Helipad/FARP or a ship.
--
-- If another warehouse requests assets, the corresponding troops are spawned at the warehouse and being transported to the requestor or go their
-- by themselfs. Once arrived at the requesting warehouse, the assets go into the stock of the requestor and can be activated/deployed when necessary.
--
-- ## What assets can be stored?
--
-- Any kind of ground, airborne or naval asset can be stored and are spawned upon request.
-- The fact that the assets live only virtually in stock and are put into the game only when needed has a positive impact on the game performance.
-- It also alliviates the problem of limited parking spots at smaller airbases.
--
-- ## What means of transportation are available?
--
-- Firstly, all mobile assets can be send from warehouse to another on their own.
--
-- * Ground vehicles will use the road infrastructure. So a good road connection for both warehouses is important but also off road connections can be added if necessary.
-- * Airborne units get a flightplan from the airbase of the sending warehouse to the airbase of the receiving warehouse. This already implies that for airborne
-- assets both warehouses need an airbase. If either one of the warehouses does not have an associated airbase, direct transportation of airborne assets is not possible.
-- * Naval units can be exchanged between warehouses which possess a port, which can be defined by the user. Also shipping lanes must be specified manually but the user since DCS does not provide these.
-- * Trains (would) use the available railroad infrastructure and both warehouses must have a connection to the railroad. Unfortunately, however, trains are not yet implemented to
-- a reasonable degree in DCS at the moment and hence cannot be used yet.
--
-- Furthermore, ground assets can be transferred between warehouses by transport units. These are APCs, helicopters and airplanes. The transportation process is modeled
-- in a realistic way by using the corresponding cargo dispatcher classes, i.e.
--
-- * @{AI.AI_Cargo_Dispatcher_APC#AI_DISPATCHER_APC}
-- * @{AI.AI_Cargo_Dispatcher_Helicopter#AI_DISPATCHER_HELICOPTER}
-- * @{AI.AI_Cargo_Dispatcher_Airplane#AI_DISPATCHER_AIRPLANE}
--
-- Depending on which cargo dispatcher is used (ground or airbore), similar considerations like in the self propelled case are necessary. Howver, note that
-- the dispatchers as of yet cannot use user defined off road paths for example since they are classes of their own and use a different routing logic.
--
-- ===
--
-- # Creating a Warehouse
--
-- A MOOSE warehouse must be represented in game by a physical *static* object. For example, the mission editor already has warehouse as static object available.
-- This would be a good first choice but any static object will do.
--
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\WAREHOUSE\Warehouse_Static.png)
--
-- The positioning of the warehouse static object is very important for a couple of reasons. Firstly, a warehouse needs a good infrastructure so that spawned assets
-- have a proper road connection or can reach the associated airbase easily.
--
-- ## Constructor and Start
--
-- Once the static warehouse object is placed in the mission editor it can be used as a MOOSE warehouse by the @{#WAREHOUSE.New}(*warehousestatic*, *alias*) constructor,
-- like for example:
--
--     warehouseBatumi=WAREHOUSE:New(STATIC:FindByName("Warehouse Batumi"), "My optional Warehouse Alias")
--     warehouseBatumi:Start()
--
-- The first parameter *warehousestatic* is the static MOOSE object. By default, the name of the warehouse will be the same as the name given to the static object.
-- The second parameter *alias* is optional and can be used to choose a more convenient name if desired. This will be the name the warehouse calls itself when reporting messages.
--
-- Note that a warehouse also needs to be started in order to be in service. This is done with the @{#WAREHOUSE.Start}() or @{#WAREHOUSE.__Start}(*delay*) functions.
-- The warehouse is now fully operational and requests are being processed.
--
-- # Adding Assets
--
-- Assets can be added to the warehouse stock by using the @{#WAREHOUSE.AddAsset}(*group*, *ngroups*, *forceattribute*, *forcecargobay*, *forceweight*, *loadradius*, *skill*, *liveries*, *assignment*) function.
-- The parameter *group* has to be a MOOSE @{Wrapper.Group#GROUP}. This is also the only mandatory parameters. All other parameters are optional and can be used for fine tuning if
-- nessary. The parameter *ngroups* specifies how many clones of this group are added to the stock.
--
--     infrantry=GROUP:FindByName("Some Infantry Group")
--     warehouseBatumi:AddAsset(infantry, 5)
--
-- This will add five infantry groups to the warehouse stock. Note that the group should normally be a late activated template group,
-- which was defined in the mission editor. But you can also add other groups which are already spawned and present in the mission.
--
-- Also note that the coalition of the template group (red, blue or neutral) does not matter. The coalition of the assets is determined by the coalition of the warehouse owner.
-- In other words, it is no problem to add red groups to blue warehouses and vice versa. The assets will automatically have the coalition of the warehouse.
--
-- You can add assets with a delay by using the @{#WAREHOUSE.__AddAsset}(*delay*, *group*, *ngroups*, *forceattribute*, *forcecargobay*, *forceweight*, *loadradius*,  *skill*, *liveries*, *assignment*),
-- where *delay* is the delay in seconds before the asset is added.
--
-- In game, the warehouse will get a mark which is regularly updated and showing the currently available assets in stock.
--
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\WAREHOUSE\Warehouse_Stock-Marker.png)
--
-- ## Optional Parameters for Fine Tuning
--
-- By default, the generalized attribute of the asset is determined automatically from the DCS descriptor attributes. However, this might not always result in the desired outcome.
-- Therefore, it is possible, to force a generalized attribute for the asset with the third optional parameter *forceattribute*, which is of type @{#WAREHOUSE.Attribute}.
--
-- ### Setting the Generalized Attibute
-- For example, a UH-1H Huey has in DCS the attibute of an attack helicopter. But of course, it can also transport cargo. If you want to use it for transportation, you can specify this
-- manually when the asset is added
--
--     warehouseBatumi:AddAsset("Huey", 5, WAREHOUSE.Attribute.AIR_TRANSPORTHELO)
--
-- This becomes important when assets are requested from other warehouses as described below. In this case, the five Hueys are now marked as transport helicopters and
-- not attack helicopters.
--
-- ### Setting the Cargo Bay Weight Limit
-- You can ajust the cargo bay weight limit, in case it is not calculated correctly automatically. For example, the cargo bay of a C-17A is much smaller in DCS than that of a C-130, which is
-- unrealistic. This can be corrected by the *forcecargobay* parmeter which is here set to 77,000 kg
--
--     warehouseBatumi:AddAsset("C-17A", nil, nil, 77000)
--
-- The size of the cargo bay is only important when the group is used as transport carrier for other assets.
--
-- ### Setting the Weight
-- If an asset shall be transported by a carrier it important to note that - as in real life - a carrier can only carry cargo up to a certain weight. The weight of the
-- units is automatically determined from the DCS descriptor table.
-- However, in the current DCS version (2.5.3) a mortar unit has a weight of 5 tons. This confuses the transporter logic, because it appears to be too have for, e.g. all APCs.
--
-- As a workaround, you can manually adjust the weight by the optional *forceweight* parameter:
--
--     warehouseBatumi:AddAsset("Mortar Alpha", nil, nil, nil, 210)
--
--  In this case we set it to 210 kg. Note, the weight value set is meant for *each* unit in the group. Therefore, a group consisting of three mortars will have a total weight
--  of 630 kg. This is important as groups cannot be split between carrier units when transporting, i.e. the total weight of the whole group must be smaller than the
--  cargo bay of the transport carrier.
--
-- ### Setting the Load Radius
-- Boading and loading of cargo into a carrier is modeled in a realistic fashion in the AI\_CARGO\DISPATCHER classes, which are used inernally by the WAREHOUSE class.
-- Meaning that troops (cargo) will board, i.e. run or drive to the carrier, and only once they are in close proximity to the transporter they will be loaded (disappear).
--
-- Unfortunately, there are some situations where problems can occur. For example, in DCS tanks have the strong tentendcy not to drive around obstacles but rather to roll over them.
-- I have seen cases where an aircraft of the same coalition as the tank was in its way and the tank drove right through the plane waiting on a parking spot and destroying it.
--
-- As a workaround it is possible to set a larger load radius so that the cargo units are despawned further away from the carrier via the optional **loadradius** parameter:
--
--     warehouseBatumi:AddAsset("Leopard 2", nil, nil, nil, nil, 250)
--
-- Adding the asset like this will cause the units to be loaded into the carrier already at a distance of 250 meters.
--
-- ### Setting the AI Skill
--
-- By default, the asset has the skill of its template group. The optional parameter *skill* allows to set a different skill when the asset is added. See the
-- [hoggit page](https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/DCS_enum_AI) possible values of this enumerator.
-- For example you can use
--
--     warehouseBatumi:AddAsset("Leopard 2", nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, AI.Skill.EXCELLENT)
--
-- do set the skill of the asset to excellent.
--
-- ### Setting Liveries
--
-- By default ,the asset uses the livery of its template group. The optional parameter *liveries* allows to define one or multiple liveries.
-- If multiple liveries are given in form of a table of livery names, each asset gets a random one.
--
-- For example
--
--     warehouseBatumi:AddAsset("Mi-8", nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, "China UN")
--
-- would spawn the asset with a Chinese UN livery.
--
-- Or
--
--     warehouseBatumi:AddAsset("Mi-8", nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, {"China UN", "German"})
--
-- would spawn the asset with either a Chinese UN or German livery. Mind the curly brackets **{}** when you want to specify multiple liveries.
--
-- Four each unit type, the livery names can be found in the DCS root folder under Bazar\Liveries. You have to use the name of the livery subdirectory. The names of the liveries
-- as displayed in the mission editor might be different and won't work in general.
--
-- ### Setting an Assignment
--
-- Assets can be added with a specific assignment given as a text, e.g.
--
--     warehouseBatumi:AddAsset("Mi-8", nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, nil, "Go to Warehouse Kobuleti")
--
-- This is helpful to establish supply chains once an asset has arrived at its (first) destination and is meant to be forwarded to another warehouse.
--
-- ## Retrieving the Asset
--
-- Once a an asset is added to a warehouse, the @{#WAREHOUSE.NewAsset} event is triggered. You can hook into this event with the @{#WAREHOUSE.OnAfterNewAsset}(*asset*, *assignment*) function.
--
-- The first parameter *asset* is a table of type @{#WAREHOUSE.Assetitem} and contains a lot of information about the asset. The seconed parameter *assignment* is optional and is the specific
-- assignment the asset got when it was added.
--
-- Note that the assignment is can also be the assignment that was specified when adding a request (see next section). Once an asset that was requested from another warehouse and an assignment
-- was specified in the @{#WAREHOUSE.AddRequest} function, the assignment can be checked when the asset has arrived and is added to the receiving warehouse.
--
-- ===
--
-- # Requesting Assets
--
-- Assets of the warehouse can be requested by other MOOSE warehouses. A request will first be scrutinized to check if can be fulfilled at all. If the request is valid, it is
-- put into the warehouse queue and processed as soon as possible.
-- 
-- Requested assets spawn in various "Rule of Engagement Rules" (ROE) and Alerts modes. If your assets will cross into dangerous areas, be sure to change these states. You can do this in @{#WAREHOUSE:OnAfterAssetSpawned}(*From, *Event, *To, *group, *asset, *request)) function.
--
-- Initial Spawn states is as follows:
--    GROUND: ROE, "Return Fire" Alarm, "Green"
--    AIR: 	ROE, "Return Fire" Reaction to Threat, "Passive Defense"
--    NAVAL	ROE, "Return Fire" Alarm,"N/A"
--
-- A request can be added by the @{#WAREHOUSE.AddRequest}(*warehouse*, *AssetDescriptor*, *AssetDescriptorValue*, *nAsset*, *TransportType*, *nTransport*, *Prio*, *Assignment*) function.
-- The parameters are
--
-- * *warehouse*: The requesting MOOSE @{#WAREHOUSE}. Assets will be delivered there.
-- * *AssetDescriptor*: The descriptor to describe the asset "type". See the @{#WAREHOUSE.Descriptor} enumerator. For example, assets requested by their generalized attibute.
-- * *AssetDescriptorValue*: The value of the asset descriptor.
-- * *nAsset*: (Optional) Number of asset group requested. Default is one group.
-- * *TransportType*: (Optional) The transport method used to deliver the assets to the requestor. Default is that assets go to the requesting warehouse on their own.
-- * *nTransport*: (Optional) Number of asset groups used to transport the cargo assets from A to B. Default is one group.
-- * *Prio*: (Optional) A number between 1 (high) and 100 (low) describing the priority of the request. Request with high priority are processed first. Default is 50, i.e. medium priority.
-- * *Assignment*: (Optional) A free to choose string describing the assignment. For self requests, this can be used to assign the spawned groups to specific tasks.
--
-- ## Requesting by Generalized Attribute
--
-- Generalized attributes are similar to [DCS attributes](https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/DCS_enum_attributes). However, they are a bit more general and
-- an asset can only have one generalized attribute by which it is characterized.
--
-- For example:
--
--     warehouseBatumi:AddRequest(warehouseKobuleti, WAREHOUSE.Descriptor.ATTRIBUTE, WAREHOUSE.Attribute.GROUND_INFANTRY, 5, WAREHOUSE.TransportType.APC, 2)
--
-- Here, warehouse Kobuleti requests 5 infantry groups from warehouse Batumi. These "cargo" assets should be transported from Batumi to Kobuleti by 2 APCS.
-- Note that the warehouse at Batumi needs to have at least five infantry groups and two APC groups in their stock if the request can be processed.
-- If either to few infantry or APC groups are available when the request is made, the request is held in the warehouse queue until enough cargo and
-- transport assets are available.
--
-- Also note that the above request is for five infantry groups. So any group in stock that has the generalized attribute "GROUND_INFANTRY" can be selected for the request.
--
-- ### Generalized Attributes
--
-- Currently implemented are:
--
-- * @{#WAREHOUSE.Attribute.AIR_TRANSPORTPLANE} Airplane with transport capability. This can be used to transport other assets.
-- * @{#WAREHOUSE.Attribute.AIR_AWACS} Airborne Early Warning and Control System.
-- * @{#WAREHOUSE.Attribute.AIR_FIGHTER} Fighter, interceptor, ... airplane.
-- * @{#WAREHOUSE.Attribute.AIR_BOMBER} Aircraft which can be used for strategic bombing.
-- * @{#WAREHOUSE.Attribute.AIR_TANKER} Airplane which can refuel other aircraft.
-- * @{#WAREHOUSE.Attribute.AIR_TRANSPORTHELO} Helicopter with transport capability. This can be used to transport other assets.
-- * @{#WAREHOUSE.Attribute.AIR_ATTACKHELO} Attack helicopter.
-- * @{#WAREHOUSE.Attribute.AIR_UAV} Unpiloted Aerial Vehicle, e.g. drones.
-- * @{#WAREHOUSE.Attribute.AIR_OTHER} Any airborne unit that does not fall into any other airborne category.
-- * @{#WAREHOUSE.Attribute.GROUND_APC} Infantry carriers, in particular Amoured Personell Carrier. This can be used to transport other assets.
-- * @{#WAREHOUSE.Attribute.GROUND_TRUCK} Unarmed ground vehicles, which has the DCS "Truck" attribute.
-- * @{#WAREHOUSE.Attribute.GROUND_INFANTRY} Ground infantry assets.
-- * @{#WAREHOUSE.Attribute.GROUND_ARTILLERY} Artillery assets.
-- * @{#WAREHOUSE.Attribute.GROUND_TANK} Tanks (modern or old).
-- * @{#WAREHOUSE.Attribute.GROUND_TRAIN} Trains. Not that trains are **not** yet properly implemented in DCS and cannot be used currently.
-- * @{#WAREHOUSE.Attribute.GROUND_EWR} Early Warning Radar.
-- * @{#WAREHOUSE.Attribute.GROUND_AAA} Anti-Aircraft Artillery.
-- * @{#WAREHOUSE.Attribute.GROUND_SAM} Surface-to-Air Missile system or components.
-- * @{#WAREHOUSE.Attribute.GROUND_OTHER} Any ground unit that does not fall into any other ground category.
-- * @{#WAREHOUSE.Attribute.NAVAL_AIRCRAFTCARRIER} Aircraft carrier.
-- * @{#WAREHOUSE.Attribute.NAVAL_WARSHIP} War ship, i.e. cruisers, destroyers, firgates and corvettes.
-- * @{#WAREHOUSE.Attribute.NAVAL_ARMEDSHIP} Any armed ship that is not an aircraft carrier, a cruiser, destroyer, firgatte or corvette.
-- * @{#WAREHOUSE.Attribute.NAVAL_UNARMEDSHIP} Any unarmed naval vessel.
-- * @{#WAREHOUSE.Attribute.NAVAL_OTHER} Any naval unit that does not fall into any other naval category.
-- * @{#WAREHOUSE.Attribute.OTHER_UNKNOWN} Anything that does not fall into any other category.
--
-- ## Requesting a Specific Unit Type
--
-- A more specific request could look like:
--
--     warehouseBatumi:AddRequest(warehouseKobuleti, WAREHOUSE.Descriptor.UNITTYPE, "A-10C", 2)
--
-- Here, Kobuleti requests a specific unit type, in particular two groups of A-10Cs. Note that the spelling is important as it must exacly be the same as
-- what one get's when using the DCS unit type.
--
-- ## Requesting a Specific Group
--
-- An even more specific request would be:
--
--     warehouseBatumi:AddRequest(warehouseKobuleti, WAREHOUSE.Descriptor.GROUPNAME, "Group Name as in ME", 3)
--
-- In this case three groups named "Group Name as in ME" are requested. This explicitly request the groups named like that in the Mission Editor.
--
-- ## Requesting a General Category
--
-- On the other hand, very general and unspecifc requests can be made by the categroy descriptor. The descriptor value parameter can be any [group category](https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/DCS_Class_Group), i.e.
--
-- * Group.Category.AIRPLANE for fixed wing aircraft,
-- * Group.Category.HELICOPTER for helicopters,
-- * Group.Category.GROUND for all ground troops,
-- * Group.Category.SHIP for naval assets,
-- * Group.Category.TRAIN for trains (not implemented and not working in DCS yet).
--
-- For example,
--
--     warehouseBatumi:AddRequest(warehouseKobuleti, WAREHOUSE.Descriptor.CATEGORY, Group.Category.GROUND, 10)
--
-- means that Kubuleti requests 10 ground groups and does not care which ones. This could be a mix of infantry, APCs, trucks etc.
--
-- **Note** that these general requests should be made with *great care* due to the fact, that depending on what a warehouse has in stock a lot of different unit types can be spawned.
--
-- ## Requesting Relative Quantities
--
-- In addition to requesting absolute numbers of assets it is possible to request relative amounts of assets currently in stock. To this end the @{#WAREHOUSE.Quantity} enumerator
-- was introduced:
--
-- * @{#WAREHOUSE.Quantity.ALL}
-- * @{#WAREHOUSE.Quantity.HALF}
-- * @{#WAREHOUSE.Quantity.QUARTER}
-- * @{#WAREHOUSE.Quantity.THIRD}
-- * @{#WAREHOUSE.Quantity.THREEQUARTERS}
--
-- For example,
--
--     warehouseBatumi:AddRequest(warehouseKobuleti, WAREHOUSE.Descriptor.CATEGORY, Group.Category.HELICOPTER, WAREHOUSE.Quantity.HALF)
--
-- means that Kobuleti warehouse requests half of all available helicopters which Batumi warehouse currently has in stock.
--
-- # Employing Assets - The Self Request
--
-- Transferring assets from one warehouse to another is important but of course once the the assets are at the "right" place it is equally important that they
-- can be employed for specific tasks and assignments.
--
-- Assets in the warehouses stock can be used for user defined tasks quite easily. They can be spawned into the game by a "***self request***", i.e. the warehouse
-- requests the assets from itself:
--
--     warehouseBatumi:AddRequest(warehouseBatumi, WAREHOUSE.Descriptor.ATTRIBUTE, WAREHOUSE.Attribute.GROUND_INFANTRY, 5)
--
-- Note that the *sending* and *requesting* warehouses are *identical* in this case.
--
-- This would simply spawn five infantry groups in the spawn zone of the Batumi warehouse if/when they are available.
--
-- ## Accessing the Assets
--
-- If a warehouse requests assets from itself, it triggers the event **SelfReqeuest**. The mission designer can capture this event with the associated

--     -- @param #string To To state.
--     -- @param Core.Set#SET_GROUP groupset The set of cargo groups that was delivered to the warehouse itself.

--     function WAREHOUSE:OnAfterSelfRequest(From, Event, To, groupset, request)
--       local groupset=groupset --Core.Set#SET_GROUP
--       local request=request   --Functional.Warehouse#WAREHOUSE.Pendingitem
--
--       for _,group in pairs(groupset:GetSetObjects()) do
--         local group=group --Wrapper.Group#GROUP
--         group:SmokeGreen()
--       end
--
--     end
--
-- The variable *groupset* is a @{Core.Set#SET_GROUP} object and holds all asset groups from the request. The code above shows, how the mission designer can access the groups
-- for further tasking. Here, the groups are only smoked but, of course, you can use them for whatever assignment you fancy.
--
-- Note that airborne groups are spawned in **uncontrolled state** and need to be activated first before they can begin with their assigned tasks and missions.
-- This can be done with the @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.StartUncontrolled} function as demonstrated in the example section below.
--
-- ===
--
-- # Infrastructure
--
-- A good infrastructure is important for a warehouse to be efficient. Therefore, the location of a warehouse should be chosen with care.
-- This can also help to avoid many DCS related issues such as units getting stuck in buildings, blocking taxi ways etc.
--
-- ## Spawn Zone
--
-- By default, the zone were ground assets are spawned is a circular zone around the physical location of the warehouse with a radius of 200 meters. However, the location of the
-- spawn zone can be set by the @{#WAREHOUSE.SetSpawnZone}(*zone*) functions. It is advisable to choose a zone which is clear of obstacles.
--
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\WAREHOUSE\Warehouse_Batumi.png)
--
-- The parameter *zone* is a MOOSE @{Core.Zone#ZONE} object. So one can, e.g., use trigger zones defined in the mission editor. If a cicular zone is not desired, one
-- can use a polygon zone (see @{Core.Zone#ZONE_POLYGON}).
--
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\WAREHOUSE\Warehouse_SpawnPolygon.png)
--
-- ## Road Connections
--
-- Ground assets will use a road connection to travel from one warehouse to another. Therefore, a proper road connection is necessary.
--
-- By default, the closest point on road to the center of the spawn zone is chosen as road connection automatically. But only, if distance between the spawn zone
-- and the road connection is less than 3 km.
--
-- The user can set the road connection manually with the @{#WAREHOUSE.SetRoadConnection} function. This is only functional for self propelled assets at the moment
-- and not if using the AI dispatcher classes since these have a different logic to find the route.
--
-- ## Off Road Connections
--
-- For ground troops it is also possible to define off road paths between warehouses if no proper road connection is available or should not be used.
--
-- An off road path can be defined via the @{#WAREHOUSE.AddOffRoadPath}(*remotewarehouse*, *group*, *oneway*) function, where
-- *remotewarehouse* is the warehouse to which the path leads.
-- The parameter *group* is a *late activated* template group. The waypoints of this group are used to define the path between the two warehouses.
-- By default, the reverse paths is automatically added to get *from* the remote warehouse *to* this warehouse unless the parameter *oneway* is set to *true*.
--
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\WAREHOUSE\Warehouse_Off-Road_Paths.png)
--
-- **Note** that if an off road connection is defined between two warehouses this becomes the default path, i.e. even if there is a path *on road* possible
-- this will not be used.
--
-- Also note that you can define multiple off road connections between two warehouses. If there are multiple paths defined, the connection is chosen randomly.
-- It is also possible to add the same path multiple times. By this you can influence the probability of the chosen path. For example Path1(A->B) has been
-- added two times while Path2(A->B) was added only once. Hence, the group will choose Path1 with a probability of 66.6 % while Path2 is only chosen with
-- a probability of 33.3 %.
--
-- ## Rail Connections
--
-- A rail connection is automatically defined as the closest point on a railway measured from the center of the spawn zone. But only, if the distance is less than 3 km.
--
-- The mission designer can manually specify a rail connection with the @{#WAREHOUSE.SetRailConnection} function.
--
-- **NOTE** however, that trains in DCS are currently not implemented in a way so that they can be used.
--
-- ## Air Connections
--
-- In order to use airborne assets, a warehouse needs to have an associated airbase. This can be an airdrome, a FARP/HELOPAD or a ship.
--
-- If there is an airbase within 3 km range of the warehouse it is automatically set as the associated airbase. A user can set an airbase manually
-- with the @{#WAREHOUSE.SetAirbase} function. Keep in mind that sometimes ground units need to walk/drive from the spawn zone to the airport
-- to get to their transport carriers.
--
-- ## Naval Connections
--
-- Natively, DCS does not have the concept of a port/habour or shipping lanes. So in order to have a meaningful transfer of naval units between warehouses, these have to be
-- defined by the mission designer.
--
-- ### Defining a Port
--
-- A port in this context is the zone where all naval assets are spawned. This zone can be defined with the function @{#WAREHOUSE.SetPortZone}(*zone*), where the parameter
-- *zone* is a MOOSE zone. So again, this can be create from a trigger zone defined in the mission editor or if a general shape is desired by a @{Core.Zone#ZONE_POLYGON}.
--
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\WAREHOUSE\Warehouse_PortZone.png)
--
-- ### Defining Shipping Lanes
--
-- A shipping lane between to warehouses can be defined by the @{#WAREHOUSE.AddShippingLane}(*remotewarehouse*, *group*, *oneway*) function. The first parameter *remotewarehouse*
-- is the warehouse which should be connected to the present warehouse.
--
-- The parameter *group* should be a late activated group defined in the mission editor. The waypoints of this group are used as waypoints of the shipping lane.
--
-- By default, the reverse lane is automatically added to the remote warehouse. This can be disabled by setting the *oneway* parameter to *true*.
--
-- Similar to off road connections, you can also define multiple shipping lanes between two warehouse ports. If there are multiple lanes defined, one is chosen randomly.
-- It is possible to add the same lane multiple times. By this you can influence the probability of the chosen lane. For example Lane_1(A->B) has been
-- added two times while Lane_2(A->B) was added only once. Therefore, the ships will choose Lane_1 with a probability of 66.6 % while Path_2 is only chosen with
-- a probability of 33.3 %.
--

--
-- # Why is my request not processed?
--
-- For each request, the warehouse class logic does a lot of consistency and validation checks under the hood.
-- This helps to circumvent a lot of DCS issues and shortcomings. For example, it is checked that enough free
-- parking spots at an airport are available *before* the assets are spawned.
-- However, this also means that sometimes a request is deemed to be *invalid* in which case they are deleted
-- from the queue or considered to be valid but cannot be executed at this very moment.
--
-- ## Invalid Requests
--
-- Invalid request are requests which can **never** be processes because there is some logical or physical argument against it.
-- (Or simply because that feature was not implemented (yet).)
--
-- * All airborne assets need an associated airbase of any kind on the sending *and* receiving warehouse.
-- * Airplanes need an airdrome at the sending and receiving warehouses.
-- * Not enough parking spots of the right terminal type at the sending warehouse. This avoids planes spawning on runways or on top of each other.
-- * No parking spots of the right terminal type at the receiving warehouse. This avoids DCS despawning planes on landing if they have no valid parking spot.
-- * Ground assets need a road connection between both warehouses or an off-road path needs to be added manually.
-- * Ground assets cannot be send directly to ships, i.e. warehouses on ships.
-- * Naval units need a user defined shipping lane between both warehouses.
-- * Warehouses need a user defined port zone to spawn naval assets.
-- * The receiving warehouse is destroyed or stopped.
-- * If transport by airplane, both warehouses must have and airdrome.
-- * If transport by APC, both warehouses must have a road connection.
-- * If transport by helicopter, the sending airbase must have an associated airbase (airdrome or FARP).
--
-- All invalid requests are cancelled and **removed** from the warehouse queue!
--
-- ## Temporarily Unprocessable Requests
--
-- Temporarily unprocessable requests are possible in principle, but cannot be processed at the given time the warehouse checks its queue.
--
-- * No enough parking spaces are available for all requested assets but the airbase has enough parking spots in total so that this request is possible once other aircraft have taken off.
-- * The requesting warehouse is not in state "Running" (could be paused, not yet started or under attack).
-- * Not enough cargo assets available at this moment.
-- * Not enough free parking spots for all cargo or transport airborne assets at the moment.
-- * Not enough transport assets to carry all cargo assets.
--
-- Temporarily unprocessable requests are held in the queue. If at some point in time, the situation changes so that these requests can be processed, they are executed.
--
-- ## Cargo Bay and Weight Limitations
--
-- The transportation of cargo is handled by the AI\_Dispatcher classes. These take the cargo bay of a carrier and the weight of
-- the cargo into account so that a carrier can only load a realistic amount of cargo.
--
-- However, if troops are supposed to be transported between warehouses, there is one important limitations one has to keep in mind.
-- This is that **cargo asset groups cannot be split** and divided into separate carrier units!
--
-- For example, a TPz Fuchs has a cargo bay large enough to carry up to 10 soldiers at once, which is a realistic number.
-- If a group consisting of more than ten soldiers needs to be transported, it cannot be loaded into the APC.
-- Even if two APCs are available, which could in principle carry up to 20 soldiers, a group of, let's say 12 soldiers will not
-- be split into a group of ten soldiers using the first APC and a group two soldiers using the second APC.
--
-- In other words, **there must be at least one carrier unit available that has a cargo bay large enough to load the heaviest cargo group!**
-- The warehouse logic will automatically search all available transport assets for a large enough carrier.
-- But if none is available, the request will be queued until a suitable carrier becomes available.
--
-- The only realistic solution in this case is to either provide a transport carrier with a larger cargo bay or to reduce the number of soldiers
-- in the group.
--
-- A better way would be to have two groups of max. 10 soldiers each and one TPz Fuchs for transport. In this case, the first group is
-- loaded and transported to the receiving warehouse. Once this is done, the carrier will drive back and pick up the remaining
-- group.
--
-- As an artificial workaround one can manually set the cargo bay size to a larger value or alternatively reduce the weight of the cargo
-- when adding the assets via the @{#WAREHOUSE.AddAsset} function. This might even be unavoidable if, for example, a SAM group
-- should be transported since SAM sites only work when all units are in the same group.
--
-- ## Processing Speed
--
-- A warehouse has a limited speed to process requests. Each time the status of the warehouse is updated only one requests is processed.
-- The time interval between status updates is 30 seconds by default and can be adjusted via the @{#WAREHOUSE.SetStatusUpdate}(*interval*) function.
-- However, the status is also updated on other occasions, e.g. when a new request was added.
--
-- ===
--
-- # Strategic Considerations
--
-- Due to the fact that a warehouse holds (or can hold) a lot of valuable assets, it makes a (potentially) juicy target for enemy attacks.
-- There are several interesting situations, which can occur.
--
-- ## Capturing a Warehouses Airbase
--
-- If a warehouse has an associated airbase, it can be captured by the enemy. In this case, the warehouse looses its ability so employ all airborne assets and is also cut-off
-- from supply by airplanes. Supply of ground troops via helicopters is still possible, because they deliver the troops into the spawn zone.
--
-- Technically, the capturing of the airbase is triggered by the DCS [S\_EVENT\_BASE\_CAPTURED](https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/DCS_event_base_captured) event.
-- So the capturing takes place when only enemy ground units are in the airbase zone whilst no ground units of the present airbase owner are in that zone.
--
-- The warehouse will also create an event **AirbaseCaptured**, which can be captured by the @{#WAREHOUSE.OnAfterAirbaseCaptured} function. So the warehouse chief can react on
-- this attack and for example deploy ground groups to re-capture its airbase.
--
-- When an airbase is re-captured the event **AirbaseRecaptured** is triggered and can be captured by the @{#WAREHOUSE.OnAfterAirbaseRecaptured} function.
-- This can be used to put the defending assets back into the warehouse stock.
--
-- ## Capturing the Warehouse
--
-- A warehouse can be captured by the enemy coalition. If enemy ground troops enter the warehouse zone the event **Attacked** is triggered which can be captured by the
-- @{#WAREHOUSE.OnAfterAttacked} event. By default the warehouse zone circular zone with a radius of 500 meters located at the center of the physical warehouse.
-- The warehouse zone can be set via the @{#WAREHOUSE.SetWarehouseZone}(*zone*) function. The parameter *zone* must also be a circular zone.
--
-- The @{#WAREHOUSE.OnAfterAttacked} function can be used by the mission designer to react to the enemy attack. For example by deploying some or all ground troops
-- currently in stock to defend the warehouse. Note that the warehouse also has a self defence option which can be enabled by the @{#WAREHOUSE.SetAutoDefenceOn}()
-- function. In this case, the warehouse will automatically spawn all ground troops. If the spawn zone is further away from the warehouse zone, all mobile troops
-- are routed to the warehouse zone. The self request which is triggered on an automatic defence has the assignment "AutoDefence". So you can use this to
-- give orders to the groups that were spawned using the @{#WAREHOUSE.OnAfterSelfRequest} function.
--
-- If only ground troops of the enemy coalition are present in the warehouse zone, the warehouse and all its assets falls into the hands of the enemy.
-- In this case the event **Captured** is triggered which can be captured by the @{#WAREHOUSE.OnAfterCaptured} function.
--
-- The warehouse turns to the capturing coalition, i.e. its physical representation, and all assets as well. In particular, all requests to the warehouse will
-- spawn assets belonging to the new owner.
--
-- If the enemy troops could be defeated, i.e. no more troops of the opposite coalition are in the warehouse zone, the event **Defeated** is triggered and
-- the @{#WAREHOUSE.OnAfterDefeated} function can be used to adapt to the new situation. For example putting back all spawned defender troops back into
-- the warehouse stock. Note that if the automatic defence is enabled, all defenders are automatically put back into the warehouse on the **Defeated** event.
--
-- ## Destroying a Warehouse
--
-- If an enemy destroy the physical warehouse structure, the warehouse will of course stop all its services. In principle, all assets contained in the warehouse are
-- gone as well. So a warehouse should be properly defended.
--
-- Upon destruction of the warehouse, the event **Destroyed** is triggered, which can be captured by the @{#WAREHOUSE.OnAfterDestroyed} function.
-- So the mission designer can intervene at this point and for example choose to spawn all or particular types of assets before the warehouse is gone for good.
--
-- ===
--
-- # Hook in and Take Control
--
-- The Finite State Machine implementation allows mission designers to hook into important events and add their own code.
-- Most of these events have already been mentioned but here is the list at a glance:
--
-- * "NotReadyYet" --> "Start" --> "Running" (Starting the warehouse)
-- * "*" --> "Status" --> "*" (status updated in regular intervals)
-- * "*" --> "AddAsset" --> "*" (adding a new asset to the warehouse stock)
-- * "*" --> "NewAsset" --> "*" (a new asset has been added to the warehouse stock)
-- * "*" --> "AddRequest" --> "*" (adding a request for the warehouse assets)
-- * "Running" --> "Request" --> "*" (a request is processed when the warehouse is running)
-- * "Attacked" --> "Request" --> "*" (a request is processed when the warehouse is attacked)
-- * "*" --> "Arrived" --> "*" (asset group has arrived at its destination)
-- * "*" --> "Delivered" --> "*" (all assets of a request have been delivered)
-- * "Running" --> "SelfRequest" --> "*" (warehouse is requesting asset from itself when running)
-- * "Attacked" --> "SelfRequest" --> "*" (warehouse is requesting asset from itself while under attack)
-- * "*" --> "Attacked" --> "Attacked" (warehouse is being attacked)
-- * "Attacked" --> "Defeated" --> "Running" (an attack was defeated)
-- * "Attacked" --> "Captured" --> "Running" (warehouse was captured by the enemy)
-- * "*" --> "AirbaseCaptured" --> "*" (airbase belonging to the warehouse was captured by the enemy)
-- * "*" --> "AirbaseRecaptured" --> "*" (airbase was re-captured)
-- * "*" --> "AssetSpawned" --> "*" (an asset has been spawned into the world)
-- * "*" --> "AssetLowFuel" --> "*" (an asset is running low on fuel)
-- * "*" --> "AssetDead" --> "*" (a whole asset, i.e. all its units/groups, is dead)
-- * "*" --> "Destroyed" --> "Destroyed" (warehouse was destroyed)
-- * "Running" --> "Pause" --> "Paused" (warehouse is paused)
-- * "Paused" --> "Unpause" --> "Running" (warehouse is unpaused)
-- * "*" --> "Stop" --> "Stopped" (warehouse is stopped)
--
-- The transitions are of the general form "From State" --> "Event" --> "To State". The "*" star denotes that the transition is possible from *any* state.
-- Some transitions, however, are only allowed from certain "From States". For example, no requests can be processed if the warehouse is in "Paused" or "Destroyed" or "Stopped" state.
--
-- Mission designers can capture the events with OnAfterEvent functions, e.g. @{#WAREHOUSE.OnAfterDelivered} or @{#WAREHOUSE.OnAfterAirbaseCaptured}.
--
-- ===
--
-- # Persistence of Assets
--
-- Assets in stock of a warehouse can be saved to a file on your hard drive and then loaded from that file at a later point. This enables to restart the mission
-- and restore the warehouse stock.
--
-- ## Prerequisites
--
-- **Important** By default, DCS does not allow for writing data to files. Therefore, one first has to comment out the line "sanitizeModule('io')", i.e.
--
--     do
--       sanitizeModule('os')
--       --sanitizeModule('io')
--       sanitizeModule('lfs')
--       require = nil
--       loadlib = nil
--     end
--
-- in the file "MissionScripting.lua", which is located in the subdirectory "Scripts" of your DCS installation root directory.
--
-- ### Don't!
--
-- Do not use **semi-colons** or **equal signs** in the group names of your assets as these are used as separators in the saved and loaded files texts.
-- If you do, it will cause problems and give you a headache!
--
-- ## Save Assets
--
-- Saving asset data to file is achieved by the @{WAREHOUSE.Save}(*path*, *filename*) function. The parameter *path* specifies the path on the file system where the
-- warehouse data is saved. If you do not specify a path, the file is saved your the DCS installation root directory.
-- The parameter *filename* is optional and defines the name of the saved file. By default this is automatically created from the warehouse id and name, for example
-- "Warehouse-1234_Batumi.txt".
--
--     warehouseBatumi:Save("D:\\My Warehouse Data\\")
--
-- This will save all asset data to in "D:\\My Warehouse Data\\Warehouse-1234_Batumi.txt".
--
-- ### Automatic Save at Mission End
--
-- The assets can be saved automatically when the mission is ended via the @{WAREHOUSE.SetSaveOnMissionEnd}(*path*, *filename*) function, i.e.
--
--     warehouseBatumi:SetSaveOnMissionEnd("D:\\My Warehouse Data\\")
--
-- ## Load Assets
--
-- Loading assets data from file is achieved by the @{WAREHOUSE.Load}(*path*, *filename*) function. The parameter *path* specifies the path on the file system where the
-- warehouse data is loaded from. If you do not specify a path, the file is loaded from your the DCS installation root directory.
-- The parameter *filename* is optional and defines the name of the file to load. By default this is automatically generated from the warehouse id and name, for example
-- "Warehouse-1234_Batumi.txt".
--
-- Note that the warehouse **must not be started** and in the *Running* state in order to load the assets. In other words, loading should happen after the
-- @{#WAREHOUSE.New} command is specified in the code but before the @{#WAREHOUSE.Start} command is given.
--
-- Loading the assets is done by
--
--     warehouseBatumi:New(STATIC:FindByName("Warehouse Batumi"))
--     warehouseBatumi:Load("D:\\My Warehouse Data\\")
--     warehouseBatumi:Start()
--
-- This sequence loads all assets from file. If a warehouse was captured in the last mission, it also respawns the static warehouse structure with the right coaliton.
-- However, it due to DCS limitations it is not possible to set the airbase coalition. This has to be done manually in the mission editor. Or alternatively, one could
-- spawn some ground units via a self request and let them capture the airbase.
--
-- ===
--
-- # Examples
--
-- This section shows some examples how the WAREHOUSE class is used in practice. This is one of the best ways to explain things, in my opinion.
--
-- But first, let me introduce a convenient way to define several warehouses in a table. This is absolutely *not necessary* but quite handy if you have
-- multiple WAREHOUSE objects in your mission.
--
-- ## Example 0: Setting up a Warehouse Array
--
-- If you have multiple warehouses, you can put them in a table. This makes it easier to access them or to loop over them.
--
--     -- Define Warehouses.
--     local warehouse={}
--     -- Blue warehouses
--     warehouse.Senaki   = WAREHOUSE:New(STATIC:FindByName("Warehouse Senaki"),   "Senaki")   --Functional.Warehouse#WAREHOUSE
--     warehouse.Batumi   = WAREHOUSE:New(STATIC:FindByName("Warehouse Batumi"),   "Batumi")   --Functional.Warehouse#WAREHOUSE
--     warehouse.Kobuleti = WAREHOUSE:New(STATIC:FindByName("Warehouse Kobuleti"), "Kobuleti") --Functional.Warehouse#WAREHOUSE
--     warehouse.Kutaisi  = WAREHOUSE:New(STATIC:FindByName("Warehouse Kutaisi"),  "Kutaisi")  --Functional.Warehouse#WAREHOUSE
--     warehouse.Berlin   = WAREHOUSE:New(STATIC:FindByName("Warehouse Berlin"),   "Berlin")   --Functional.Warehouse#WAREHOUSE
--     warehouse.London   = WAREHOUSE:New(STATIC:FindByName("Warehouse London"),   "London")   --Functional.Warehouse#WAREHOUSE
--     warehouse.Stennis  = WAREHOUSE:New(STATIC:FindByName("Warehouse Stennis"),  "Stennis")  --Functional.Warehouse#WAREHOUSE
--     warehouse.Pampa    = WAREHOUSE:New(STATIC:FindByName("Warehouse Pampa"),    "Pampa")    --Functional.Warehouse#WAREHOUSE
--     -- Red warehouses
--     warehouse.Sukhumi  = WAREHOUSE:New(STATIC:FindByName("Warehouse Sukhumi"),  "Sukhumi")  --Functional.Warehouse#WAREHOUSE
--     warehouse.Gudauta  = WAREHOUSE:New(STATIC:FindByName("Warehouse Gudauta"),  "Gudauta")  --Functional.Warehouse#WAREHOUSE
--     warehouse.Sochi    = WAREHOUSE:New(STATIC:FindByName("Warehouse Sochi"),    "Sochi")    --Functional.Warehouse#WAREHOUSE
--
-- Remarks:
--
-- * I defined the array as local, i.e. local warehouse={}. This is personal preference and sometimes causes trouble with the lua garbage collection. You can also define it as a global array/table!
-- * The "--Functional.Warehouse#WAREHOUSE" at the end is only to have the LDT intellisense working correctly. If you don't use LDT (which you should!), it can be omitted.
--
-- **NOTE** that all examples below need this bit or code at the beginning - or at least the warehouses which are used.
--
-- The example mission is based on the same template mission, which has defined a lot of airborne, ground and naval assets as templates. Only few of those are used here.
--
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\WAREHOUSE\Warehouse_Assets.png)
--
-- ## Example 1: Self Request
--
-- Ground troops are taken from the Batumi warehouse stock and spawned in its spawn zone. After a short delay, they are added back to the warehouse stock.
-- Also a new request is made. Hence, the groups will be spawned, added back to the warehouse, spawned again and so on and so forth...
--
--     -- Start warehouse Batumi.
--     warehouse.Batumi:Start()
--
--     -- Add five groups of infantry as assets.
--     warehouse.Batumi:AddAsset(GROUP:FindByName("Infantry Platoon Alpha"), 5)
--
--     -- Add self request for three infantry at Batumi.
--     warehouse.Batumi:AddRequest(warehouse.Batumi, WAREHOUSE.Descriptor.ATTRIBUTE, WAREHOUSE.Attribute.GROUND_INFANTRY, 3)
--
--
--     --- Self request event. Triggered once the assets are spawned in the spawn zone or at the airbase.
--     function warehouse.Batumi:OnAfterSelfRequest(From, Event, To, groupset, request)
--       local mygroupset=groupset --Core.Set#SET_GROUP
--
--       -- Loop over all groups spawned from that request.
--       for _,group in pairs(mygroupset:GetSetObjects()) do
--         local group=group --Wrapper.Group#GROUP
--
--         -- Gree smoke on spawned group.
--         group:SmokeGreen()
--
--         -- Put asset back to stock after 10 seconds.
--         warehouse.Batumi:__AddAsset(10, group)
--       end
--
--       -- Add new self request after 20 seconds.
--       warehouse.Batumi:__AddRequest(20, warehouse.Batumi, WAREHOUSE.Descriptor.ATTRIBUTE, WAREHOUSE.Attribute.GROUND_INFANTRY, 3)
--
--     end
--
-- ## Example 2: Self propelled Ground Troops
--
-- Warehouse Berlin, which is a FARP near Batumi, requests infantry and troop transports from the warehouse at Batumi.
-- The groups are spawned at Batumi and move by themselves from Batumi to Berlin using the roads.
-- Once the troops have arrived at Berlin, the troops are automatically added to the warehouse stock of Berlin.
-- While on the road, Batumi has requested back two APCs from Berlin. Since Berlin does not have the assets in stock,
-- the request is queued. After the troops have arrived, Berlin is sending back the APCs to Batumi.
--
--     -- Start Warehouse at Batumi.
--     warehouse.Batumi:Start()
--
--     -- Add 20 infantry groups and ten APCs as assets at Batumi.
--     warehouse.Batumi:AddAsset("Infantry Platoon Alpha", 20)
--     warehouse.Batumi:AddAsset("TPz Fuchs", 10)
--
--     -- Start Warehouse Berlin.
--     warehouse.Berlin:Start()
--
--     -- Warehouse Berlin requests 10 infantry groups and 5 APCs from warehouse Batumi.
--     warehouse.Batumi:AddRequest(warehouse.Berlin, WAREHOUSE.Descriptor.ATTRIBUTE, WAREHOUSE.Attribute.GROUND_INFANTRY, 10)
--     warehouse.Batumi:AddRequest(warehouse.Berlin, WAREHOUSE.Descriptor.ATTRIBUTE, WAREHOUSE.Attribute.GROUND_APC, 5)
--
--     -- Request from Batumi for 2 APCs. Initially these are not in stock. When they become available, the request is executed.
--     warehouse.Berlin:AddRequest(warehouse.Batumi, WAREHOUSE.Descriptor.ATTRIBUTE, WAREHOUSE.Attribute.GROUND_APC, 2)
--
-- ## Example 3: Self Propelled Airborne Assets
--
-- Warehouse Senaki receives a high priority request from Kutaisi for one Yak-52s. At the same time, Kobuleti requests half of
-- all available Yak-52s. Request from Kutaisi is first executed and then Kobuleti gets half of the remaining assets.
-- Additionally, London requests one third of all available UH-1H Hueys from Senaki.
-- Once the units have arrived they are added to the stock of the receiving warehouses and can be used for further assignments.
--
--     -- Start warehouses
--     warehouse.Senaki:Start()
--     warehouse.Kutaisi:Start()
--     warehouse.Kobuleti:Start()
--     warehouse.London:Start()
--
--     -- Add assets to Senaki warehouse.
--     warehouse.Senaki:AddAsset("Yak-52", 10)
--     warehouse.Senaki:AddAsset("Huey", 6)
--

-- ## Example 4: Transport of Assets by APCs
--
-- Warehouse at FARP Berlin requests five infantry groups from Batumi. These assets shall be transported using two APC groups.
-- Infantry and APC are spawned in the spawn zone at Batumi. The APCs have a cargo bay large enough to pick up four of the
-- five infantry groups in the first run and will bring them to Berlin. There, they unboard and walk to the warehouse where they will be added to the stock.
-- Meanwhile the APCs go back to Batumi and one will pick up the last remaining soldiers.
-- Once the APCs have completed their mission, they return to Batumi and are added back to stock.
--
--     -- Start Warehouse at Batumi.
--     warehouse.Batumi:Start()
--
--     -- Start Warehouse Berlin.
--     warehouse.Berlin:Start()
--
--     -- Add 20 infantry groups and five APCs as assets at Batumi.
--     warehouse.Batumi:AddAsset("Infantry Platoon Alpha", 20)
--     warehouse.Batumi:AddAsset("TPz Fuchs", 5)
--
--     -- Warehouse Berlin requests 5 infantry groups from warehouse Batumi using 2 APCs for transport.
--     warehouse.Batumi:AddRequest(warehouse.Berlin, WAREHOUSE.Descriptor.ATTRIBUTE, WAREHOUSE.Attribute.GROUND_INFANTRY, 5, WAREHOUSE.TransportType.APC, 2)
--
--## Example 5: Transport of Assets by Helicopters
--
--  Warehouse at FARP Berlin requests five infantry groups from Batumi. They shall be transported by all available transport helicopters.
--  Note that the UH-1H Huey in DCS is an attack and not a transport helo. So the warehouse logic would be default also
--  register it as an @{#WAREHOUSE.Attribute.AIR_ATTACKHELICOPTER}. In order to use it as a transport we need to force
--  it to be added as transport helo.
--  Also note that even though all (here five) helos are requested, only two of them are employed because this number is sufficient to
--  transport all requested assets in one go.
--
--     -- Start Warehouses.
--     warehouse.Batumi:Start()
--     warehouse.Berlin:Start()
--
--     -- Add 20 infantry groups as assets at Batumi.
--     warehouse.Batumi:AddAsset("Infantry Platoon Alpha", 20)
--
--     -- Add five Hueys for transport. Note that a Huey in DCS is an attack and not a transport helo. So we force this attribute!
--     warehouse.Batumi:AddAsset("Huey", 5, WAREHOUSE.Attribute.AIR_TRANSPORTHELO)
--
--     -- Warehouse Berlin requests 5 infantry groups from warehouse Batumi using all available helos for transport.
--     warehouse.Batumi:AddRequest(warehouse.Berlin, WAREHOUSE.Descriptor.ATTRIBUTE, WAREHOUSE.Attribute.GROUND_INFANTRY, 5, WAREHOUSE.TransportType.HELICOPTER, WAREHOUSE.Quantity.ALL)
--
--## Example 6: Transport of Assets by Airplanes
--
-- Warehoues Kobuleti requests all (three) APCs from Batumi using one airplane for transport.
-- The available C-130 is able to carry one APC at a time. So it has to commute three times between Batumi and Kobuleti to deliver all requested cargo assets.
-- Once the cargo is delivered, the C-130 transport returns to Batumi and is added back to stock.
--
--     -- Start warehouses.
--     warehouse.Batumi:Start()
--     warehouse.Kobuleti:Start()
--
--     -- Add assets to Batumi warehouse.
--     warehouse.Batumi:AddAsset("C-130", 1)
--     warehouse.Batumi:AddAsset("TPz Fuchs", 3)
--
--     warehouse.Batumi:AddRequest(warehouse.Kobuleti, WAREHOUSE.Descriptor.ATTRIBUTE, WAREHOUSE.Attribute.GROUND_APC, WAREHOUSE.Quantity.ALL, WAREHOUSE.TransportType.AIRPLANE)
--
-- ## Example 7: Capturing Airbase and Warehouse
--
-- A red BMP has made it through our defence lines and drives towards our unprotected airbase at Senaki.
-- Once the BMP captures the airbase (DCS [S\_EVENT\_BASE\_CAPTURED](https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/DCS_event_base_captured) is evaluated)
-- the warehouse at Senaki lost its air infrastructure and it is not possible any more to spawn airborne units. All requests for airborne units are rejected and cancelled in this case.
--
-- The red BMP then drives further to the warehouse. Once it enters the warehouse zone (500 m radius around the warehouse building), the warehouse is
-- considered to be under attack. This triggers the event **Attacked**. The @{#WAREHOUSE.OnAfterAttacked} function can be used to react to this situation.
-- Here, we only broadcast a distress call and launch a flare. However, it would also be reasonable to spawn all or selected ground troops in order to defend
-- the warehouse. Note, that the warehouse has a self defence option which can be activated via the @{#WAREHOUSE.SetAutoDefenceOn}() function. If activated,
-- *all* ground assets are automatically spawned and assigned to defend the warehouse. Once/if the attack is defeated, these assets go automatically back
-- into the warehouse stock.
--
-- If the red coalition manages to capture our warehouse, all assets go into their possession. Now red tries to steal three F/A-18 flights and send them to
-- Sukhumi. These aircraft will be spawned and begin to taxi. However, ...
--
-- A blue Bradley is in the area and will attempt to recapture the warehouse. It might also catch the red F/A-18s before they take off.
--
--     -- Start warehouses.
--     warehouse.Senaki:Start()
--     warehouse.Sukhumi:Start()
--
--     -- Add some assets.
--     warehouse.Senaki:AddAsset("TPz Fuchs", 5)
--     warehouse.Senaki:AddAsset("Infantry Platoon Alpha", 10)
--     warehouse.Senaki:AddAsset("F/A-18C 2ship", 10)
--
--     -- Enable auto defence, i.e. spawn all group troups into the spawn zone.
--     --warehouse.Senaki:SetAutoDefenceOn()
--
--     -- Activate Red BMP trying to capture the airfield and the warehouse.
--     local red1=GROUP:FindByName("Red BMP-80 Senaki"):Activate()
--
--     -- The red BMP first drives to the airbase which gets captured and changes from blue to red.
--     -- This triggers the "AirbaseCaptured" event where you can hook in and do things.
--     function warehouse.Senaki:OnAfterAirbaseCaptured(From, Event, To, Coalition)
--       -- This request cannot be processed since the warehouse has lost its airbase. In fact it is deleted from the queue.
--       warehouse.Senaki:AddRequest(warehouse.Senaki,WAREHOUSE.Descriptor.CATEGORY, Group.Category.AIRPLANE, 1)
--     end
--
--     -- Now the red BMP also captures the warehouse. This triggers the "Captured" event where you can hook in.
--     -- So now the warehouse and the airbase are both red and aircraft can be spawned again.
--     function warehouse.Senaki:OnAfterCaptured(From, Event, To, Coalition, Country)
--       -- These units will be spawned as red units because the warehouse has just been captured.
--       if Coalition==coalition.side.RED then
--         -- Sukhumi tries to "steals" three F/A-18 from Senaki and brings them to Sukhumi.
--         -- Well, actually the aircraft wont make it because blue1 will kill it on the taxi way leaving a blood bath. But that's life!
--         warehouse.Senaki:AddRequest(warehouse.Sukhumi, WAREHOUSE.Descriptor.CATEGORY, Group.Category.AIRPLANE, 3)
--         warehouse.Senaki.warehouse:SmokeRed()
--       elseif Coalition==coalition.side.BLUE then
--         warehouse.Senaki.warehouse:SmokeBlue()
--       end
--
--       -- Activate a blue vehicle to re-capture the warehouse. It will drive to the warehouse zone and kill the red intruder.
--       local blue1=GROUP:FindByName("blue1"):Activate()
--     end
--
-- ## Example 8: Destroying a Warehouse
--
-- FARP Berlin requests a Huey from Batumi warehouse. This helo is deployed and will be delivered.
-- After 30 seconds into the mission we create and (artificial) big explosion - or a terrorist attack if you like - which completely destroys the
-- the warehouse at Batumi. All assets are gone and requests cannot be processed anymore.
--
--     -- Start Batumi and Berlin warehouses.
--     warehouse.Batumi:Start()
--     warehouse.Berlin:Start()
--
--     -- Add some assets.
--     warehouse.Batumi:AddAsset("Huey", 5, WAREHOUSE.Attribute.AIR_TRANSPORTHELO)
--     warehouse.Berlin:AddAsset("Huey", 5, WAREHOUSE.Attribute.AIR_TRANSPORTHELO)
--
--     -- Big explosion at the warehose. It has a very nice damage model by the way :)
--     local function DestroyWarehouse()
--       warehouse.Batumi:GetCoordinate():Explosion(999)
--     end
--     SCHEDULER:New(nil, DestroyWarehouse, {}, 30)
--
--     -- First request is okay since warehouse is still alive.
--     warehouse.Batumi:AddRequest(warehouse.Berlin, WAREHOUSE.Descriptor.ATTRIBUTE, WAREHOUSE.Attribute.AIR_TRANSPORTHELO, 1)
--
--     -- These requests should both not be processed any more since the warehouse at Batumi is destroyed.
--     warehouse.Batumi:__AddRequest(35, warehouse.Berlin, WAREHOUSE.Descriptor.ATTRIBUTE, WAREHOUSE.Attribute.AIR_TRANSPORTHELO, 1)
--     warehouse.Berlin:__AddRequest(40, warehouse.Batumi, WAREHOUSE.Descriptor.ATTRIBUTE, WAREHOUSE.Attribute.AIR_TRANSPORTHELO, 1)
--
-- ## Example 9: Self Propelled Naval Assets
--
-- Kobuleti requests all naval assets from Batumi.
-- However, before naval assets can be exchanged, both warehouses need a port and at least one shipping lane defined by the user.
-- See the @{#WAREHOUSE.SetPortZone}() and @{#WAREHOUSE.AddShippingLane}() functions.
-- We do not want to spawn them all at once, because this will probably be a disaster
-- in the port zone. Therefore, each ship is spawned with a delay of five minutes.
--
-- Batumi has quite a selection of different ships (for testing).
--
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\WAREHOUSE\Warehouse_Naval_Assets.png)
--
--     -- Start warehouses.
--     warehouse.Batumi:Start()
--     warehouse.Kobuleti:Start()
--
--     -- Define ports. These are polygon zones created by the waypoints of late activated units.

--     warehouse.Kobuleti:SetPortZone(ZONE_POLYGON:NewFromGroupName("Warehouse Kobuleti Port Zone", "Warehouse Kobuleti Port Zone"))
--
--     -- Shipping lane. Again, the waypoints of late activated units are taken as points defining the shipping lane.
--     -- Some units will take lane 1 while others will take lane two. But both lead from Batumi to Kobuleti port.
--     warehouse.Batumi:AddShippingLane(warehouse.Kobuleti, GROUP:FindByName("Warehouse Batumi-Kobuleti Shipping Lane 1"))

--     end
--
-- ## Example 10: Warehouse on Aircraft Carrier
--
-- This example shows how to spawn assets from a warehouse located on an aircraft carrier. The warehouse must still be represented by a
-- physical static object. However, on a carrier space is limit so we take a smaller static. In priciple one could also take something
-- like a windsock.
--
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\WAREHOUSE\Warehouse_Carrier.png)
--
-- USS Stennis requests F/A-18s from Batumi. At the same time Kobuleti requests F/A-18s from the Stennis which currently does not have any.
-- So first, Batumi delivers the fighters to the Stennis. After they arrived they are deployed again and send to Kobuleti.
--
--     -- Start warehouses.
--     warehouse.Batumi:Start()
--     warehouse.Stennis:Start()
--     warehouse.Kobuleti:Start()
--
--     -- Add F/A-18 2-ship flight to Batmi.
--     warehouse.Batumi:AddAsset("F/A-18C 2ship", 1)
--
--     -- USS Stennis requests F/A-18 from Batumi.
--     warehouse.Batumi:AddRequest(warehouse.Stennis, WAREHOUSE.Descriptor.GROUPNAME, "F/A-18C 2ship")
--
--     -- Kobuleti requests F/A-18 from USS Stennis.
--     warehouse.Stennis:AddRequest(warehouse.Kobuleti, WAREHOUSE.Descriptor.GROUPNAME, "F/A-18C 2ship")
--
-- ## Example 11: Aircraft Carrier - Rescue Helo and Escort
--
-- After 10 seconds we make a self request for a rescue helicopter. Note, that the @{#WAREHOUSE.AddRequest} function has a parameter which lets you
-- specify an "Assignment". This can be later used to identify the request and take the right actions.
--
-- Once the request is processed, the @{#WAREHOUSE.OnAfterSelfRequest} function is called. This is where we hook in and postprocess the spawned assets.
-- In particular, we use the @{AI.AI_Formation#AI_FORMATION} class to make some nice escorts for our carrier.
--
-- When the resue helo is spawned, we can check that this is the correct asset and make the helo go into formation with the carrier.
-- Once the helo runs out of fuel, it will automatically return to the ship and land. For the warehouse, this means that the "cargo", i.e. the helicopter
-- has been delivered - assets can be delivered to other warehouses and to the same warehouse - hence a *self* request.
-- When that happens, the **Delivered** event is triggered and the @{#WAREHOUSE.OnAfterDelivered} function called. This can now be used to spawn
-- a fresh helo. Effectively, there we created an infinite, never ending loop. So a rescue helo will be up at all times.
--
-- After 30 and 45 seconds requests for five groups of armed speedboats are made. These will be spawned in the port zone right behind the carrier.
-- The first five groups will go port of the carrier an form a left wing formation. The seconds groups will to the analogue on the starboard side.
-- **Note** that in order to spawn naval assets a warehouse needs a port (zone). Since the carrier and hence the warehouse is mobile, we define a moving
-- zone as @{Core.Zone#ZONE_UNIT} with the carrier as reference unit. The "port" of the Stennis at its stern so all naval assets are spawned behind the carrier.
--
--     -- Start warehouse on USS Stennis.
--     warehouse.Stennis:Start()
--
--     -- Aircraft carrier gets a moving zone right behind it as port.
--     warehouse.Stennis:SetPortZone(ZONE_UNIT:New("Warehouse Stennis Port Zone", UNIT:FindByName("USS Stennis"), 100, {rho=250, theta=180, relative_to_unit=true}))

-- ## Example 12: Pause a Warehouse
--
-- This example shows how to pause and unpause a warehouse. In paused state, requests will not be processed but assets can be added and requests be added.
--
--    * Warehouse Batumi is paused after 10 seconds.
--    * Request from Berlin after 15 which will not be processed.
--    * New tank assets for Batumi after 20 seconds. This is possible also in paused state.
--    * Batumi unpaused after 30 seconds. Queued request from Berlin can be processed.
--    * Berlin is paused after 60 seconds.
--    * Berlin requests tanks from Batumi after 90 seconds. Request is not processed because Berlin is paused and not running.
--    * Berlin is unpaused after 120 seconds. Queued request for tanks from Batumi can not be processed.
--
-- Here is the code:
--
--     -- Start Warehouse at Batumi.
--     warehouse.Batumi:Start()
--
--     -- Start Warehouse Berlin.
--     warehouse.Berlin:Start()
--
--     -- Add 20 infantry groups and 5 tank platoons as assets at Batumi.
--     warehouse.Batumi:AddAsset("Infantry Platoon Alpha", 20)
--
--     -- Pause the warehouse after 10 seconds
--     warehouse.Batumi:__Pause(10)
--
--     -- Add a request from Berlin after 15 seconds. A request can be added but not be processed while warehouse is paused.
--     warehouse.Batumi:__AddRequest(15, warehouse.Berlin, WAREHOUSE.Descriptor.ATTRIBUTE, WAREHOUSE.Attribute.GROUND_INFANTRY, 1)
--
--     -- New asset added after 20 seconds. This is possible even if the warehouse is paused.
--     warehouse.Batumi:__AddAsset(20, "Abrams", 5)

--
--     -- After 90 seconds request from Berlin for tanks.

-- ## Example 14: Strategic Bombing
--
-- This example shows how to employ strategic bombers in a mission. Three B-52s are launched at Kobuleti with the assignment to wipe out the enemy warehouse at Sukhumi.
-- The bombers will get a flight path and make their approach from the South at an altitude of 5000 m ASL. After their bombing run, they will return to Kobuleti and
-- added back to stock.
--
--     -- Start warehouses
--     warehouse.Kobuleti:Start()
--     warehouse.Sukhumi:Start()
--
--     -- Add a strategic bomber assets
--     warehouse.Kobuleti:AddAsset("B-52H", 3)

--     -- Request bombers for specific task of bombing Sukhumi warehouse.

-- ## Example 15: Defining Off-Road Paths
--
-- For self propelled assets it is possible to define custom off-road paths from one warehouse to another via the @{#WAREHOUSE.AddOffRoadPath} function.
-- The waypoints of a path are taken from late activated units. In this example, two paths have been defined between the warehouses Kobuleti and FARP London.
-- Trucks are spawned at each warehouse and are guided along the paths to the other warehouse.
-- Note that if more than one path was defined, each asset group will randomly select its route.
--
--     -- Start warehouses
--     warehouse.Kobuleti:Start()
--     warehouse.London:Start()
--
--     -- Define a polygon zone as spawn zone at Kobuleti.
--     warehouse.Kobuleti:SetSpawnZone(ZONE_POLYGON:New("Warehouse Kobuleti Spawn Zone", GROUP:FindByName("Warehouse Kobuleti Spawn Zone")))
--
--     -- Add assets.
--     warehouse.Kobuleti:AddAsset("M978", 20)
--     warehouse.London:AddAsset("M818", 20)
--
--     -- Off two road paths from Kobuleti to London. The reverse path from London to Kobuleti is added automatically.
--     warehouse.Kobuleti:AddOffRoadPath(warehouse.London, GROUP:FindByName("Warehouse Kobuleti-London OffRoad Path 1"))
--     warehouse.Kobuleti:AddOffRoadPath(warehouse.London, GROUP:FindByName("Warehouse Kobuleti-London OffRoad Path 2"))
--
--     -- London requests all available trucks from Kobuleti.
--     warehouse.Kobuleti:AddRequest(warehouse.London, WAREHOUSE.Descriptor.ATTRIBUTE, WAREHOUSE.Attribute.GROUND_TRUCK, WAREHOUSE.Quantity.ALL)
--
--     -- Kobuleti requests all available trucks from London.

-- ## Example 16: Resupply of Dead Assets
--
-- Warehouse at FARP Berlin is located at the front line and sends infantry groups to the battle zone.
-- Whenever a group dies, a new group is send from the warehouse to the battle zone.
-- Additionally, for each dead group, Berlin requests resupply from Batumi.

-- ## Example 17: Supply Chains
--
-- Our remote warehouse "Pampa" south of Batumi needs assets but does not have any air infrastructure (FARP or airdrome).
-- Leopard 2 tanks are transported from Kobuleti to Batumi using two C-17As. From there they go be themselfs to Pampa.
-- Eight infantry groups and two mortar groups are also being transferred from Kobuleti to Batumi by helicopter.
-- The infantry has a higher priority and will be transported first using all available Mi-8 helicopters.
-- Once infantry has arrived at Batumi, it will walk by itself to warehouse Pampa.
-- The mortars can only be transported once the Mi-8 helos are available again, i.e. when the infantry has been delivered.
-- Once the mortars arrive at Batumi, they will be transported by APCs to Pampa.

-- TODO: Make more examples: ARTY, CAP, ...
-- TODO: Check also general requests like all ground. Is this a problem for self propelled if immobile units are among the assets? Check if transport.
-- TODO: Handle the case when units of a group die during the transfer.
-- TODO: Added habours as interface for transport to from warehouses? Could make a rudimentary shipping dispatcher.

-- DONE: Add save/load capability of warehouse <==> persistance after mission restart. Difficult in lua!
-- DONE: Get cargo bay and weight from CARGO_GROUP and GROUP. No necessary any more!
-- DONE: Add possibility to set weight and cargo bay manually in AddAsset function as optional parameters.
-- DONE: Check overlapping aircraft sometimes.
-- DONE: Case when all transports are killed and there is still cargo to be delivered. Put cargo back into warehouse. Should be done now!
-- DONE: Add transport units from dispatchers back to warehouse stock once they completed their mission.
-- DONE: Write documentation.
-- DONE: Add AAA, SAMs and UAVs to generalized attributes.
-- DONE: Add warehouse quantity enumerator.
-- DONE: Test mortars. Immobile units need a transport.
-- DONE: Set ROE for spawned groups.
-- DONE: Add offroad lanes between warehouses if road connection is not available.
-- DONE: Add possibility to add active groups. Need to create a pseudo template before destroy. <== Does not seem to be necessary any more.
-- DONE: Add a time stamp when an asset is added to the stock and for requests.
-- DONE: How to get a specific request once the cargo is delivered? Make addrequest addasset non FSM function? Callback for requests like in SPAWN?
-- DONE: Add autoselfdefence switch and user function. Default should be off.
-- DONE: Warehouse re-capturing not working?!
-- DONE: Naval assets dont go back into stock once arrived.
-- DONE: Take cargo weight into consideration, when selecting transport assets.
-- DONE: Add ports for spawning naval assets.
-- DONE: Add shipping lanes between warehouses.
-- DONE: Handle cases with immobile units <== should be handled by dispatcher classes.
-- DONE: Handle cases for aircraft carriers and other ships. Place warehouse on carrier possible? On others probably not - exclude them?
-- DONE: Add general message function for sending to coaliton or debug.
-- DONE: Fine tune event handlers.
-- DONE: Improve generalized attributes.
-- DONE: If warehouse is destroyed, all asssets are gone.
-- DONE: Add event handlers.
-- DONE: Add AI_CARGO_AIRPLANE
-- DONE: Add AI_CARGO_APC
-- DONE: Add AI_CARGO_HELICOPTER
-- DONE: Switch to AI_CARGO_XXX_DISPATCHER
-- DONE: Add queue.
-- DONE: Put active groups into the warehouse, e.g. when they were transported to this warehouse.
-- NOGO: Spawn warehouse assets as uncontrolled or AI off and activate them when requested.
-- DONE: How to handle multiple units in a transport group? <== Cargo dispatchers.
-- DONE: Add phyical object.
-- DONE: If warehosue is captured, change warehouse and assets to other coalition.
-- NOGO: Use RAT for routing air units. Should be possible but might need some modifications of RAT, e.g. explit spawn place. But flight plan should be better.
-- DONE: Can I make a request with specific assets? E.g., once delivered, make a request for exactly those assests that were in the original request.

-- # The FOX Concept
-- 
-- As you probably know [Fox](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_(code_word)) is a NATO brevity code for launching air-to-air munition. Therefore, the class name is not 100% accurate as this
-- script handles air-to-air but also surface-to-air missiles.
-- 
-- # Basic Script
-- 
--     -- Create a new missile trainer object.
--     fox=FOX:New()
--     
--     -- Start missile trainer.
--     fox:Start()
-- 
-- # Training Zones
-- 
-- Players are only protected if they are inside one of the training zones.
-- 
--     -- Create a new missile trainer object.
--     fox=FOX:New()
--     
--     -- Add training zones.
--     fox:AddSafeZone(ZONE:New("Training Zone Alpha"))
--     fox:AddSafeZone(ZONE:New("Training Zone Bravo"))
--     
--     -- Start missile trainer.
--     fox:Start()
-- 
-- # Launch Zones
-- 
-- Missile launches are only monitored if the shooter is inside the defined launch zone.
-- 
--     -- Create a new missile trainer object.
--     fox=FOX:New()
--     
--     -- Add training zones.
--     fox:AddLaunchZone(ZONE:New("Launch Zone SA-10 Krim"))
--     fox:AddLaunchZone(ZONE:New("Training Zone Bravo"))
--     
--     -- Start missile trainer.
--     fox:Start()
-- 
-- # Protected AI Groups
-- 
-- Define AI protected groups. These groups cannot be harmed by missiles.
-- 
-- ## Add Individual Groups
-- 
--     -- Create a new missile trainer object.
--     fox=FOX:New()
--     
--     -- Add single protected group(s).
--     fox:AddProtectedGroup(GROUP:FindByName("A-10 Protected"))
--     fox:AddProtectedGroup(GROUP:FindByName("Yak-40"))
--     
--     -- Start missile trainer.

--    * Define recovery time windows with individual recovery cases in the same mission.
--    * Option to let the carrier steam into the wind automatically.
--    * Automatic TACAN and ICLS channel setting of carrier.
--    * Separate radio channels for LSO and Marshal transmissions.
--    * Voice over support for LSO and Marshal radio transmissions.
--    * Advanced F10 radio menu including carrier info, weather, radio frequencies, TACAN/ICLS channels, player LSO grades, marking of zones etc.
--    * Recovery tanker and refueling option via integration of @{Ops.RecoveryTanker} class.
--    * Rescue helicopter option via @{Ops.RescueHelo} class.
--    * Combine multiple human players to sections.
--    * Many parameters customizable by convenient user API functions.
--    * Multiple carrier support due to object oriented approach.
--    * Unlimited number of players.
--    * Persistence of player results (optional). LSO grading data is saved to csv file.
--    * Trap sheet (optional).
--    * Finite State Machine (FSM) implementation.
--
-- **Supported Carriers:**
--
--    * [USS John C. Stennis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_John_C._Stennis) (CVN-74)
--    * [USS Tarawa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Tarawa_(LHA-1)) (LHA-1) [**WIP**]
--
-- **Supported Aircraft:**
--
--    * [F/A-18C Hornet Lot 20](https://forums.eagle.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=557) (Player & AI)
--    * [F-14B Tomcat](https://forums.eagle.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=395) (Player & AI)

--
-- At the moment, optimized parameters are available for the F/A-18C Hornet (Lot 20) and A-4E community mod as aircraft and the USS John C. Stennis as carrier.
--
-- The AV-8B Harrier and the USS Tarawa are WIP. Those two can only be used together, i.e. the Tarawa is the only carrier the harrier is supposed to land on and
-- the no other fixed wing aircraft (human or AI controlled) are supposed to land on the Tarawa. Currently only Case I is supported. Case II/III take slightly steps from the CVN carrier.
-- However, the two Case II/III pattern are very similar so this is not a big drawback.
--
-- Heatblur's mighty F-14B Tomcat has been added (March 13th 2019) as well.
--
-- ## Discussion
--
-- If you have questions or suggestions, please visit the [MOOSE Discord](https://discord.gg/AeYAkHP) #ops-airboss channel.
-- There you also find an example mission and the necessary voice over sound files. Check out the **pinned messages**.
--
-- ## Example Missions
--
-- Example missions can be found [here](https://github.com/FlightControl-Master/MOOSE_MISSIONS/tree/develop/OPS%20-%20Airboss).
-- They contain the latest development Moose.lua file.
--
-- ## IMPORTANT
--
-- Some important restrictions (of DCS) you should be aware of:
--
--    * Each player slot (client) should be in a separate group as DCS does only allow for sending messages to groups and not individual units.
--    * Players are identified by their player name. Hence, ensure that no two player have the same name, e.g. "New Callsign", as this will lead to unexpected results.
--    * The modex (tail number) of an aircraft should **not** be changed dynamically in the mission by a player. Unfortunately, there is no way to get this information via scripting API functions.
--    * The A-4E-C mod needs *easy comms* activated to interact with the F10 radio menu.

-- # The AIRBOSS Concept
--
-- On a carrier, the AIRBOSS is guy who is really in charge - don't mess with him!
--
-- # Recovery Cases
--
-- The AIRBOSS class supports all three commonly used recovery cases, i.e.
--
--    * **CASE I** during daytime and good weather (ceiling > 3000 ft, visibility > 5 NM),
--    * **CASE II** during daytime but poor visibility conditions (ceiling > 1000 ft, visibility > 5NM),
--    * **CASE III** when below Case II conditions and during nighttime (ceiling < 1000 ft, visibility < 5 NM).
--
-- That being said, this script allows you to use any of the three cases to be used at any time. Or, in other words, *you* need to specify when which case is safe and appropriate.
--
-- This is a lot of responsability. *You* are the boss, but *you* need to make the right decisions or things will go terribly wrong!
--
-- Recovery windows can be set up via the @{#AIRBOSS.AddRecoveryWindow} function as explained below. With this it is possible to seamlessly (within reason!) switch recovery cases in the same mission.
--
-- ## CASE I
--
-- As mentioned before, Case I recovery is the standard procedure during daytime and good visibility conditions.
--
-- ### Holding Pattern
--
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AIRBOSS\Airboss_Case1_Holding.png)
--
-- The graphic depicts a the standard holding pattern during a Case I recovery. Incoming aircraft enter the holding pattern, which is a counter clockwise turn with a
-- diameter of 5 NM, at their assigned altitude. The holding altitude of the first stack is 2000 ft. The interval between stacks is 1000 ft.
--
-- Once a recovery window opens, the aircraft of the lowest stack commence their landing approach and the rest of the Marshal stack collapses, i.e. aircraft switch from
-- their current stack to the next lower stack.
--
-- The flight that transitions form the holding pattern to the landing approach, it should leave the Marshal stack at the 3 position and make a left hand turn to the *Initial*
-- position, which is 3 NM astern of the boat. Note that you need to be below 1300 feet to be registered in the initial zone.
-- The altitude can be set via the function @{AIRBOSS.SetInitialMaxAlt}(*altitude*) function.
-- As described below, the initial zone can be smoked or flared via the AIRBOSS F10 Help radio menu.
--
-- ### Landing Pattern
--
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AIRBOSS\Airboss_Case1_Landing.png)
--
-- Once the aircraft reaches the Inital, the landing pattern begins. The important steps of the pattern are shown in the image above.
--
--
-- ## CASE III
--
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AIRBOSS\Airboss_Case3.png)
--
-- A Case III recovery is conducted during nighttime. The holding position and the landing pattern are rather different from a Case I recovery as can be seen in the image above.
--
-- The first holding zone starts 21 NM astern the carrier at angels 6. The separation between the stacks is 1000 ft just like in Case I. However, the distance to the boat
-- increases by 1 NM with each stack. The general form can be written as D=15+6+(N-1), where D is the distance to the boat in NM and N the number of the stack starting at N=1.
--
-- Once the aircraft of the lowest stack is allowed to commence to the landing pattern, it starts a descent at 4000 ft/min until it reaches the "*Platform*" at 5000 ft and
-- ~19 NM DME. From there a shallower descent at 2000 ft/min should be performed. At an altitude of 1200 ft the aircraft should level out and "*Dirty Up*" (gear, flaps & hook down).
--
-- At 3 NM distance to the carrier, the aircraft should intercept the 3.5 degrees glideslope at the "*Bullseye*". From there the pilot should "follow the needles" of the ICLS.
--
-- ## CASE II
--
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AIRBOSS\Airboss_Case2.png)
--
-- Case II is the common recovery procedure at daytime if visibility conditions are poor. It can be viewed as hybrid between Case I and III.
-- The holding pattern is very similar to that of the Case III recovery with the difference the the radial is the inverse of the BRC instead of the FB.
-- From the holding zone aircraft are follow the Case III path until they reach the Initial position 3 NM astern the boat. From there a standard Case I recovery procedure is
-- in place.
--
-- Note that the image depicts the case, where the holding zone has an angle offset of 30 degrees with respect to the BRC. This is optional. Commonly used offset angels
-- are 0 (no offset), +-15 or +-30 degrees. The AIRBOSS class supports all these scenarios which are used during Case II and III recoveries.
--
-- ===
--
-- # The F10 Radio Menu
--
-- The F10 radio menu can be used to post requests to Marshal but also provides information about the player and carrier status. Additionally, helper functions
-- can be called.
--
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AIRBOSS\Airboss_MenuMain.png)
--
-- By default, the script creates a submenu "Airboss" in the "F10 Other ..." menu and each @{#AIRBOSS} carrier gets its own submenu.
-- If you intend to have only one carrier, you can simplify the menu structure using the @{#AIRBOSS.SetMenuSingleCarrier} function, which will create all carrier specific menu entries directly
-- in the "Airboss" submenu. (Needless to say, that if you enable this and define multiple carriers, the menu structure will get completely screwed up.)
--
-- ## Root Menu
--
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AIRBOSS\Airboss_MenuRoot.png)
--
-- The general structure
--
--    * **F1 Help...**  (Help submenu, see below.)
--    * **F2 Kneeboard...** (Kneeboard submenu, see below. Carrier information, weather report, player status.)
--    * **F3 Request Marshal**
--    * **F4 Request Commence**
--    * **F5 Request Refueling**
--    * **F6 Spinning**
--    * **F7 Emergency Landing**
--    * **F8 [Reset My Status]**
--
-- ### Request Marshal
--
-- This radio command can be used to request a stack in the holding pattern from Marshal. Necessary conditions are that the flight is inside the Carrier Controlled Area (CCA)
-- (see @{#AIRBOSS.SetCarrierControlledArea}).
--
-- Marshal will assign an individual stack for each player group depending on the current or next open recovery case window.
-- If multiple players have registered as a section, the section lead will be assigned a stack and is responsible to guide his section to the assigned holding position.
--
-- ### Request Commence
--
-- This command can be used to request commencing from the marshal stack to the landing pattern. Necessary condition is that the player is in the lowest marshal stack
-- and that the number of aircraft in the landing pattern is smaller than four (or the number set by the mission designer).
--
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AIRBOSS\Airboss_Case1Pattern.png)
--
-- The image displays the standard Case I Marshal pattern recovery. Pilots are supposed to fly a clockwise circle and descent between the **3** and **1** positions.
--
-- Commence should be performed at around the **3** position. If the pilot is in the lowest Marshal stack, and flies through this area, he is automatically cleared for the
-- landing pattern. In other words, there is no need for the "Request Commence" radio command. The zone can be marked via smoke or flared using the player's F10 radio menu.
--
-- A player can also request commencing if he is not registered in a marshal stack yet. If the pattern is free, Marshal will allow him to directly enter the landing pattern.
-- However, this is only possible when the Airboss has a nice day - see @{#AIRBOSS.SetAirbossNiceGuy}.
--
-- ### Request Refueling
--
-- If a recovery tanker has been set up via the @{#AIRBOSS.SetRecoveryTanker}, the player can request refueling at any time. If currently in the marshal stack, the stack above will collapse.
-- The player will be informed if the tanker is currently busy or going RTB to refuel itself at its home base. Once the re-fueling is complete, the player has to re-register to the marshal stack.
--
-- ### Spinning
--
-- If the pattern is full, players can go into the spinning pattern. This step is only allowed, if the player is in the pattern and his next step
-- is initial, break entry, early/late break. At this point, the player should climb to 1200 ft a fly on the port side of the boat to go back to the initial again.
--
-- If a player is in the spin pattern, flights in the Marshal queue should hold their altitude and are not allowed into the pattern until the spinning aircraft
-- proceeds.
--
-- Once the player reaches a point 100 meters behind the boat and at least 1 NM port, his step is set to "Initial" and he can resume the normal pattern approach.
--
-- If necessary, the player can call "Spinning" again when in the above mentioned steps.
--
-- ### Emergency Landing
--
-- Request an emergency landing, i.e. bypass all pattern steps and go directly to the final approach.
--
-- All section members are supposed to follow. Player (or section lead) is removed from all other queues and automatically added to the landing pattern queue.
--
-- If this command is called while the player is currently on the carrier, he will be put in the bolter pattern. So the next expected step after take of
-- is the abeam position. This allows for quick landing training exercises without having to go through the whole pattern.
--
-- The mission designer can forbid this option my setting @{#AIRBOSS.SetEmergencyLandings}(false) in the script.
--
-- ### [Reset My Status]
--
-- This will reset the current player status. If player is currently in a marshal stack, he will be removed from the marshal queue and the stack above will collapse.
-- The player needs to re-register later if desired. If player is currently in the landing pattern, he will be removed from the pattern queue.
--
-- ## Help Menu
--
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AIRBOSS\Airboss_MenuHelp.png)
--
-- This menu provides commands to help the player.
--
-- ### Mark Zones Submenu
--
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AIRBOSS\Airboss_MenuMarkZones.png)
--
-- These commands can be used to mark marshal or landing pattern zones.
--
--    * **Smoke Pattern Zones** Smoke is used to mark the landing pattern zone of the player depending on his recovery case.
--    For Case I this is the initial zone. For Case II/III and three these are the Platform, Arc turn, Dirty Up, Bullseye/Initial zones as well as the approach corridor.
--    * **Flare Pattern Zones** Similar to smoke but uses flares to mark the pattern zones.
--    * **Smoke Marshal Zone** This smokes the surrounding area of the currently assigned Marshal zone of the player. Player has to be registered in Marshal queue.
--    * **Flare Marshal Zone** Similar to smoke but uses flares to mark the Marshal zone.
--
-- Note that the smoke lasts ~5 minutes but the zones are moving along with the carrier. So after some time, the smoke gives shows you a picture of the past.
--
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AIRBOSS\Airboss_Case3_FlarePattern.png)
--
-- ### Skill Level Submenu
--
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AIRBOSS\Airboss_MenuSkill.png)
--
-- The player can choose between three skill or difficulty levels.
--
--    * **Flight Student**: The player receives tips at certain stages of the pattern, e.g. if he is at the right altitude, speed, etc.
--    * **Naval Aviator**: Less tips are show. Player should be familiar with the procedures and its aircraft parameters.
--    * **TOPGUN Graduate**: Only very few information is provided to the player. This is for the pros.
--    * **Hints On/Off**: Toggle displaying hints.
--
-- ### My Status
--
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AIRBOSS\Airboss_MenuMyStatus.png)
--
-- This command provides information about the current player status. For example, his current step in the pattern.
--
-- ### Attitude Monitor
--
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AIRBOSS\Airboss_MenuAttitudeMonitor.png)
--
-- This command displays the current aircraft attitude of the player aircraft in short intervals as message on the screen.
-- It provides information about current pitch, roll, yaw, orientation of the plane with respect to the carrier's orientation (*Gamma*) etc.
--
-- If you are in the groove, current lineup and glideslope errors are displayed and you get an on-the-fly LSO grade.
--
-- ### LSO Radio Check
--
-- LSO will transmit a short message on his radio frequency. See @{#AIRBOSS.SetLSORadio}. Note that in the A-4E you will not hear the message unless you are in the pattern.
--
-- ### Marshal Radio Check
--
-- Marshal will transmit a short message on his radio frequency. See @{#AIRBOSS.SetMarshalRadio}.
--
-- ### Subtitles On/Off
--
-- This command toggles the display of radio message subtitles if no radio relay unit is used. By default subtitles are on.
-- Note that subtitles for radio messages which do not have a complete voice over are always displayed.
--
-- ### Trapsheet On/Off
--
-- Each player can activated or deactivate the recording of his flight data (AoA, glideslope, lineup, etc.) during his landing approaches.
-- Note that this feature also has to be enabled by the mission designer.
--
-- ## Kneeboard Menu
--
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AIRBOSS\Airboss_MenuKneeboard.png)
--
-- The Kneeboard menu provides information about the carrier, weather and player results.
--
-- ### Results Submenu
--
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AIRBOSS\Airboss_MenuResults.png)
--
-- Here you find your LSO grading results as well as scores of other players.
--
--    * **Greenie Board** lists average scores of all players obtained during landing approaches.
--    * **My LSO Grades** lists all grades the player has received for his approaches in this mission.
--    * **Last Debrief** shows the detailed debriefing of the player's last approach.
--
-- ### Carrier Info
--
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AIRBOSS\Airboss_MenuCarrierInfo.png)
--
-- Information about the current carrier status is displayed. This includes current BRC, FB, LSO and Marshal frequencies, list of next recovery windows.
--
-- ### Weather Report
--
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AIRBOSS\Airboss_MenuWeatherReport.png)
--
-- Displays information about the current weather at the carrier such as QFE, wind and temperature.
--
-- For missions using static weather, more information such as cloud base, thickness, precipitation, visibility distance, fog and dust are displayed.
-- If your mission uses dynamic weather, you can disable this output via the @{#AIRBOSS.SetStaticWeather}(**false**) function.
--
-- ### Set Section
--
-- With this command, you can define a section of human flights. The player who issues the command becomes the section lead and all other human players
-- within a radius of 100 meters become members of the section.
--
-- The responsibilities of the section leader are:
--
--    * To request Marshal. The section members are not allowed to do this and have to follow the lead to his assigned stack.
--    * To lead the right way to the pattern if the flight is allowed to commence.
--    * The lead is also the only one who can request commence if the flight wants to bypass the Marshal stack.
--
-- Each time the command is issued by the lead, the complete section is set up from scratch. Members which are not inside the 100 m radius any more are
-- removed and/or new members which are now in range are added.
--
-- If a section member issues this command, it is removed from the section of his lead. All flights which are not yet in another section will become members.
--
-- The default maximum size of a section is two human players. This can be adjusted by the @{#AIRBOSS.SetMaxSectionSize}(*size*) function. The maximum allowed size
-- is four.
--
-- ### Marshal Queue
--
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AIRBOSS\Airboss_MenuMarshalQueue.png)
--
-- Lists all flights currently in the Marshal queue including their assigned stack, recovery case and Charlie time estimate.
-- By default, the number of available Case I stacks is three, i.e. at angels 2, 3 and 4. Usually, the recovery thanker orbits at angels 6.
-- The number of available stacks can be set by the @{#AIRBOSS.SetMaxMarshalStack} function.
--
-- The default number of human players per stack is two. This can be set via the @{#AIRBOSS.SetMaxFlightsPerStack} function but has to be between one and four.
--
-- Due to technical reasons, each AI group always gets its own stack. DCS does not allow to control the AI in a manner that more than one group per stack would make sense unfortunately.
--
-- ### Pattern Queue
--
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AIRBOSS\Airboss_MenuPatternQueue.png)
--
-- Lists all flights currently in the landing pattern queue showing the time since they entered the pattern.
-- By default, a maximum of four flights is allowed to enter the pattern. This can be set via the @{#AIRBOSS.SetMaxLandingPattern} function.
--
-- ### Waiting Queue
--
-- Lists all flights currently waiting for a free Case I Marshal stack. Note, stacks are limited only for Case I recovery ops but not for Case II or III.
-- If the carrier is switches recovery ops form Case I to Case II or III, all waiting flights will be assigned a stack.
--
-- # Landing Signal Officer (LSO)
--
-- The LSO will first contact you on his radio channel when you are at the the abeam position (Case I) with the phrase "Paddles, contact.".
-- Once you are in the groove the LSO will ask you to "Call the ball." and then acknowledge your ball call by "Roger Ball."
--
-- During the groove the LSO will give you advice if you deviate from the correct landing path. These advices will be given when you are
--
--    * too low or too high with respect to the glideslope,
--    * too fast or too slow with respect to the optimal AoA,
--    * too far left or too far right with respect to the lineup of the (angled) runway.
--
-- ## LSO Grading
--
-- LSO grading starts when the player enters the groove. The flight path and aircraft attitude is evaluated at certain steps (distances measured from rundown):
--
--    * **X** At the Start (0.75 NM = 1390 m).
--    * **IM** In the Middle (0.5 NM = 926 m), middle one third of the glideslope.
--    * **IC** In Close (0.25 NM = 463 m), last one third of the glideslope.
--    * **AR** At the Ramp (0.027 NM = 50 m).
--    * **IW** In the Wires (at the landing position).
--
-- Grading at each step includes the above calls, i.e.
--
--    * **L**ined **U**p **L**eft or **R**ight: LUL, LUR
--    * Too **H**igh or too **LO**w: H, LO
--    * Too **F**ast or too **SLO**w: F, SLO
--    * **Fly through** glideslope **down** or **up**: \\ , /
--
-- Each grading, x, is subdivided by
--
--    * (x): parenthesis, indicating "a little" for a minor deviation and
--    * \_x\_: underline, indicating "a lot" for major deviations.
--
-- The position at the landing event is analyzed and the corresponding trapped wire calculated. If no wire was caught, the LSO will give the bolter call.
--
-- If a player is significantly off from the ideal parameters from IC to AR, the LSO will wave the player off. Thresholds for wave off are
--
--    * Line up error > 3.0 degrees left or right and/or
--    * Glideslope error < -1.2 degrees or > 1.8 degrees and/or
--    * AOA depending on aircraft type and only applied if skill level is "TOPGUN graduate".
--
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AIRBOSS\Airboss_LSOPlatcam.png)
--
-- Line up and glideslope error thresholds were tested extensively using [VFA-113 Stingers LSO Mod](https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=211557),
-- if the aircraft is outside the red box. In the picture above, **blue** numbers denote the line up thresholds while the **blacks** refer to the glideslope.
--
-- A wave off is called, when the aircraft is outside the red rectangle. The measurement stops already ~50 m before the rundown, since the error in the calculation
-- increases the closer the aircraft gets to the origin/reference point.
--
-- The optimal glideslope is assumed to be 3.5 degrees leading to a touch down point between the second and third wire.
-- The height of the carrier deck and the exact wire locations are taken into account in the calculations.
--
-- ## Pattern Waveoff
--
-- The player's aircraft position is evaluated at certain critical locations in the landing pattern. If the player is far off from the ideal approach, the LSO will
-- issue a pattern wave off. Currently, this is only implemented for Case I recoveries and the Case I part in the Case II recovery, i.e.
--
--    * Break Entry
--    * Early Break
--    * Late Break
--    * Abeam
--    * Ninety
--    * Wake
--    * Groove
--
-- At these points it is also checked if a player comes too close to another aircraft ahead of him in the pattern.
--
-- ## Grading Points
--
-- Currently grades are given by as follows
--
--    * 5.0 Points **\_OK\_**: "Okay underline", given only for a perfect pass, i.e. when no deviations at all were observed by the LSO. The unicorn!
--    * 4.0 Points **OK**: "Okay pass" when only minor () deviations happened.
--    * 3.0 Points **(OK)**: "Fair pass", when only "normal" deviations were detected.
--    * 2.0 Points **--**: "No grade", for larger deviations.
--
-- Furthermore, we have the cases:
--
--    * 2.5 Points **B**: "Bolder", when the player landed but did not catch a wire.
--    * 2.0 Points **WOP**: "Pattern Wave-Off", when pilot was far away from where he should be in the pattern.
--    * 2.0 Points **OWO**: "Own Wave-Off**, when pilot flies past the deck without touching it.
--    * 1.0 Points **WO**: "Technique Wave-Off": Player got waved off in the final parts of the groove.
--    * 1.0 Points **LIG**: "Long In the Groove", when pilot extents the downwind leg too far and screws up the timing for the following aircraft.
--    * 0.0 Points **CUT**: "Cut pass", when player was waved off but landed anyway.
--
-- ## Foul Deck Waveoff
--
-- A foul deck waveoff is called by the LSO if an aircraft is detected within the landing area when an approaching aircraft is crossing the ship's wake during Case I/II operations,
-- or with an aircraft approaching the 3/4 NM during Case III operations.
--
-- The approaching aircraft will be notified via LSO radio comms and is supposed to overfly the landing area to enter the Bolter pattern. **This pass is not graded**.

--
-- # Scripting
--
-- Writing a basic script is easy and can be done in two lines.
--
--     local airbossStennis=AIRBOSS:New("USS Stennis", "Stennis")
--     airbossStennis:Start()
--
-- The **first line** creates and AIRBOSS object via the @{#AIRBOSS.New}(*carriername*, *alias*) constructor. The first parameter *carriername* is name of the carrier unit as
-- defined in the mission editor. The second parameter *alias* is optional. This name will, e.g., be used for the F10 radio menu entry. If not given, the alias is identical
-- to the *carriername* of the first parameter.
--
-- This simple script initializes a lot of parameters with default values:
--
--    * TACAN channel is set to 74X, see @{#AIRBOSS.SetTACAN},
--    * ICSL channel is set to 1, see @{#AIRBOSS.SetICLS},
--    * LSO radio is set to 264 MHz FM, see @{#AIRBOSS.SetLSORadio},
--    * Marshal radio is set to 305 MHz FM, see @{#AIRBOSS.SetMarshalRadio},
--    * Default recovery case is set to 1, see @{#AIRBOSS.SetRecoveryCase},
--    * Carrier Controlled Area (CCA) is set to 50 NM, see @{#AIRBOSS.SetCarrierControlledArea},
--    * Default player skill "Flight Student" (easy), see @{#AIRBOSS.SetDefaultPlayerSkill},
--    * Once the carrier reaches its final waypoint, it will restart its route, see @{#AIRBOSS.SetPatrolAdInfinitum}.
--
-- The **second line** starts the AIRBOSS class. If you set options this should happen after the @{#AIRBOSS.New} and before @{#AIRBOSS.Start} command.
--
-- However, good mission planning involves also planning when aircraft are supposed to be launched or recovered. The definition of *case specific* recovery ops within the same mission is described in
-- the next section.
--
-- ## Recovery Windows
--
-- Recovery of aircraft is only allowed during defined time slots. You can define these slots via the @{#AIRBOSS.AddRecoveryWindow}(*start*, *stop*, *case*, *holdingoffset*) function.
-- The parameters are:
--
--   * *start*: The start time as a string. For example "8:00" for a window opening at 8 am. Or "13:30+1" for half past one on the next day. Default (nil) is ASAP.
--   * *stop*: Time when the window closes as a string. Same format as *start*. Default is 90 minutes after start time.
--   * *case*: The recovery case during that window (1, 2 or 3). Default 1.
--   * *holdingoffset*: Holding offset angle in degrees. Only for Case II or III recoveries. Default 0 deg. Common +-15 deg or +-30 deg.
--
-- If recovery is closed, AI flights will be send to marshal stacks and orbit there until the next window opens.
-- Players can request marshal via the F10 menu and will also be given a marshal stack. Currently, human players can request commence via the F10 radio regardless of
-- whether a window is open or not and will be allowed to enter the pattern (if not already full). This will probably change in the future.
--
-- At the moment there is no automatic recovery case set depending on weather or daytime. So it is the AIRBOSS (i.e. you as mission designer) who needs to make that decision.
-- It is probably a good idea to synchronize the timing with the waypoints of the carrier. For example, setting up the waypoints such that the carrier
-- already has turning into the wind, when a recovery window opens.
--
-- The code for setting up multiple recovery windows could look like this
--     local airbossStennis=AIRBOSS:New("USS Stennis", "Stennis")
--     airbossStennis:AddRecoveryWindow("8:30", "9:30", 1)
--     airbossStennis:AddRecoveryWindow("12:00", "13:15", 2, 15)
--     airbossStennis:AddRecoveryWindow("23:30", "00:30+1", 3, -30)
--     airbossStennis:Start()
--
-- This will open a Case I recovery window from 8:30 to 9:30. Then a Case II recovery from 12:00 to 13:15, where the holing offset is +15 degrees wrt BRC.
-- Finally, a Case III window opens 23:30 on the day the mission starts and closes 0:30 on the following day. The holding offset is -30 degrees wrt FB.
--
-- Note that incoming flights will be assigned a holding pattern for the next opening window case if no window is open at the moment. So in the above example,
-- all flights incoming after 13:15 will be assigned to a Case III marshal stack. Therefore, you should make sure that no flights are incoming long before the
-- next window opens or adjust the recovery planning accordingly.
--
-- The following example shows how you set up a recovery window for the next week:
--
--     for i=0,7 do
--        airbossStennis:AddRecoveryWindow(string.format("08:05:00+%d", i), string.format("08:50:00+%d", i))
--     end
--
-- ### Turning into the Wind
--
-- For each recovery window, you can define if the carrier should automatically turn into the wind. This is done by passing one or two additional arguments to the @{#AIRBOSS.AddRecoveryWindow} function:
--
--     airbossStennis:AddRecoveryWindow("8:30", "9:30", 1, nil, true, 20)
--
-- Setting the fifth parameter to *true* enables the automatic turning into the wind. The sixth parameter (here 20) specifies the speed in knots the carrier will go so that to total wind above the deck
-- corresponds to this wind speed. For example, if the is blowing with 5 knots, the carrier will go 15 knots so that the total velocity adds up to the specified 20 knots for the pilot.
--
-- The carrier will steam into the wind for as long as the recovery window is open. The distance up to which possible collisions are detected can be set by the @{#AIRBOSS.SetCollisionDistance} function.
--
-- However, the AIRBOSS scans the type of the surface up to 5 NM in the direction of movement of the carrier. If he detects anything but deep water, he will stop the current course and head back to
-- the point where he initially turned into the wind.
--
-- The same holds true after the recovery window closes. The carrier will head back to the place where he left its assigned route and resume the path to the next waypoint defined in the mission editor.
--
-- Note that the carrier will only head into the wind, if the wind direction is different by more than 5° from the current heading of the carrier (the angled runway, if any, fis taken into account here).

--
-- # Persistence of Player Results
--
-- LSO grades of players can be saved to disk and later reloaded when a new mission is started.
--
-- ## Prerequisites
--
-- **Important** By default, DCS does not allow for writing data to files. Therefore, one first has to comment out the line "sanitizeModule('io')" and "sanitizeModule('lfs')", i.e.
--
--     do
--       sanitizeModule('os')
--       --sanitizeModule('io')    -- required for saving files
--       --sanitizeModule('lfs')   -- optional for setting the default path to your "Saved Games\DCS" folder
--       require = nil
--       loadlib = nil
--     end
--
-- in the file "MissionScripting.lua", which is located in the subdirectory "Scripts" of your DCS installation root directory.
--
-- **WARNING** Desanitizing the "io" and "lfs" modules makes your machine or server vulnerable to attacks from the outside! Use this at your own risk.
--
-- ## Save Results
--
-- Saving asset data to file is achieved by the @{AIRBOSS.Save}(*path*, *filename*) function.
--
-- The parameter *path* specifies the path on the file system where the
-- player grades are saved. If you do not specify a path, the file is saved your the DCS installation root directory if the **lfs** module is *not* desanizied or
-- your "Saved Games\\DCS" folder in case you did desanitize the **lfs** module.
--
-- The parameter *filename* is optional and defines the name of the saved file. By default this is automatically created from the AIRBOSS carrier name/alias, i.e.
-- "Airboss-USS Stennis_LSOgrades.csv", if the alias is "USS Stennis".
--
-- In the easiest case, you desanitize the **io** and **lfs** modules and just add the line
--
--     airbossStennis:Save()
--
-- If you want to specify an explicit path you can do this by
--
--     airbossStennis:Save("D:\\My Airboss Data\\")
--
-- This will save all player grades to in "D:\\My Airboss Data\\Airboss-USS Stennis_LSOgrades.csv".
--
-- ### Automatic Saving
--
-- The player grades can be saved automatically after each graded player pass via the @{AIRBOSS.SetAutoSave}(*path*, *filename*) function. Again the parameters *path* and *filename* are optional.
-- In the simplest case, you desanitize the **lfs** module and just add
--
--     airbossStennis:SetAutoSave()
--
-- Note that the the stats are saved after the *final* grade has been given, i.e. the player has landed on the carrier. After intermediate results such as bolters or waveoffs the stats are not automatically saved.
--
-- In case you want to specify an explicit path, you can write
--
--     airbossStennis:SetAutoSave("D:\\My Airboss Data\\")
--
-- ## Results Output
--
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AIRBOSS\Airboss_PersistenceResultsTable.png)
--
-- The results file is stored as comma separated file. The columns are
--
--    * *Name*: The player name.
--    * *Pass*: A running number counting the passes of the player
--    * *Points Final*: The final points (i.e. when the player has landed). This is the average over all previous bolters or waveoffs, if any.
--    * *Points Pass*: The points of each pass including bolters and waveoffs.
--    * *Grade*: LSO grade.
--    * *Details*: Detailed analysis of deviations within the groove.
--    * *Wire*: Trapped wire, if any.
--    * *Tgroove*: Time in the groove in seconds (not applicable during Case III).
--    * *Case*: The recovery case operations in progress during the pass.
--    * *Wind*: Wind on deck in knots during approach.
--    * *Modex*: Tail number of the player.
--    * *Airframe*: Aircraft type used in the recovery.
--    * *Carrier Type*: Type name of the carrier.
--    * *Carrier Name*: Name/alias of the carrier.
--    * *Theatre*: DCS map.
--    * *Mission Time*: Mission time at the end of the approach.
--    * *Mission Date*: Mission date in yyyy/mm/dd format.
--    * *OS Date*: Real life date from os.date(). Needs **os** to be desanitized.
--
-- ## Load Results
--
-- Loading player grades from file is achieved by the @{AIRBOSS.Load}(*path*, *filename*) function. The parameter *path* specifies the path on the file system where the
-- data is loaded from. If you do not specify a path, the file is loaded from your the DCS installation root directory or, if **lfs** was desanitized from you "Saved Games\DCS" directory.
-- The parameter *filename* is optional and defines the name of the file to load. By default this is automatically generated from the AIBOSS carrier name/alias, for example
-- "Airboss-USS Stennis_LSOgrades.csv".
--
-- Note that the AIRBOSS FSM **must not be started** in order to load the data. In other words, loading should happen **after** the
-- @{#AIRBOSS.New} command is specified in the code but **before** the @{#AIRBOSS.Start} command is given.
--
-- The easiest was to load player results is
--
--     airbossStennis:New("USS Stennis")
--     airbossStennis:Load()
--     airbossStennis:SetAutoSave()
--     -- Additional specification of parameters such as recovery windows etc, if required.
--     airbossStennis:Start()
--
-- This sequence loads all available player grades from the default file and automatically saved them when a player received a (final) grade. Again, if **lfs** was desanitized, the files are save to and loaded
-- from the "Saved Games\DCS" directory. If **lfs** was *not* desanitized, the DCS root installation folder is the default path.
--
-- # Trap Sheet
--
-- Important aircraft attitude parameters during the Groove can be saved to file for later analysis. This also requires the **io** and optionally **lfs** modules to be desanitized.
--
-- In the script you have to add the @{#AIRBOSS.SetTrapSheet}(*path*) function to activate this feature.
--
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AIRBOSS\Airboss_TrapSheetTable.png)
--
-- Data the is written to a file in csv format and contains the following information:
--
--    * *Time*: time in seconds since start.
--    * *Rho*: distance from rundown to player aircraft in NM.
--    * *X*: distance parallel to the carrier in meters.
--    * *Z*: distance perpendicular to the carrier in meters.
--    * *Alt*: altitude of player aircraft in feet.
--    * *AoA*: angle of attack in degrees.
--    * *GSE*: glideslope error in degrees.
--    * *LUE*: lineup error in degrees.
--    * *Vtot*: total velocity of player aircraft in knots.
--    * *Vy*: vertical (descent) velocity in ft/min.
--    * *Gamma*: angle between vector of aircraft nose and vector point in the direction of the carrier runway in degrees.
--    * *Pitch*: pitch angle of player aircraft in degrees.
--    * *Roll*: roll angle of player aircraft in degrees.
--    * *Yaw*: yaw angle of player aircraft in degrees.
--    * *Step*: Step in the groove.
--    * *Grade*: Current LSO grade.
--    * *Points*: Current points for the pass.
--    * *Details*: Detailed grading analysis.
--
--## Lineup Error
--
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AIRBOSS\Airboss_TrapSheetLUE.png)
--
-- The graph displays the lineup error (LUE) as a function of the distance to the carrier.
--
-- The pilot approaches the carrier from the port side, LUE>0°, at a distance of ~1 NM.
-- At the beginning of the groove (X), he significantly overshoots to the starboard side (LUE<5°).
-- In the middle (IM), he performs good corrections and smoothly reduces the lineup error.
-- Finally, at a distance of ~0.3 NM (IC) he has corrected his lineup with the runway to a reasonable level, |LUE|<0.5°.
--
-- ## Glideslope Error
--
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AIRBOSS\Airboss_TrapSheetGLE.png)
--
-- The graph displays the glideslope error (GSE) as a function of the distance to the carrier.
--
-- In this case the pilot already enters the groove (X) below the optimal glideslope. He is not able to correct his height in the IM part and
-- stays significantly too low. In close, he performs a harsh correction to gain altitude and ends up even slightly too high (GSE>0.5°).
-- At his point further corrections are necessary.
--
-- ## Angle of Attack
--
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AIRBOSS\Airboss_TrapSheetAoA.png)
--
-- The graph displays the angle of attack (AoA) as a function of the distance to the carrier.
--
-- The pilot starts off being on speed after the ball call. Then he get way to fast troughout the most part of the groove. He manages to correct
-- this somewhat short before touchdown.
--
-- ===
--
-- # Sound Files
--
-- An important aspect of the AIRBOSS is that it uses voice overs for greater immersion. The necessary sound files can be obtained from the
-- MOOSE Discord in the [#ops-airboss](https://discordapp.com/channels/378590350614462464/527363141185830915) channel. Check out the **pinned messages**.
--
-- However, including sound files into a new mission is tedious as these usually need to be included into the mission **miz** file via (unused) triggers.
--
-- The default location inside the miz file is "l10n/DEFAULT/". But simply opening the *miz* file with e.g. [7-zip](https://www.7-zip.org/) and copying the files into that folder does not work.
-- The next time the mission is saved, files not included via trigger are automatically removed by DCS.
--
-- However, if you create a new folder inside the miz file, which contains the sounds, it will not be deleted and can be used. The location of the sound files can be specified
-- via the @{#AIRBOSS.SetSoundfilesFolder}(*folderpath*) function. The parameter *folderpath* defines the location of the sound files folder within the mission *miz* file.
--
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AIRBOSS\Airboss_SoundfilesFolder.png)
--
-- For example as
--
--     airbossStennis:SetSoundfilesFolder("Airboss Soundfiles/")
--
-- ## Carrier Specific Voice Overs
--
-- It is possible to use different sound files for different carriers. If you have set up two (or more) AIRBOSS objects at different carriers - say Stennis and Tarawa - each
-- carrier would use the files in the specified directory, e.g.
--
--     airbossStennis:SetSoundfilesFolder("Airboss Soundfiles Stennis/")
--     airbossTarawa:SetSoundfilesFolder("Airboss Soundfiles Tarawa/")
--
-- ## Sound Packs
--
-- The AIRBOSS currently has two different "sound packs" for both LSO and Marshal radios. These contain voice overs by different actors.
-- These can be set by @{#AIRBOSS.SetVoiceOversLSOByRaynor}() and @{#AIRBOSS.SetVoiceOversMarshalByRaynor}(). These are the default settings.
-- The other sound files can be set by @{#AIRBOSS.SetVoiceOversLSOByFF}() and @{#AIRBOSS.SetVoiceOversMarshalByFF}().
-- Also combinations can be used, e.g.
--
--     airbossStennis:SetVoiceOversLSOByFF()
--     airbossStennis:SetVoiceOversMarshalByRaynor()
--
-- In this example LSO voice overs by FF and Marshal voice overs by Raynor are used.
--
-- **Note** that this only initializes the correct parameters parameters of sound files, i.e. the duration. The correct files have to be in the directory set by the
-- @{#AIRBOSS.SetSoundfilesFolder}(*folder*) function.
--
-- ## How To Use Your Own Voice Overs
--
-- If you have a set of AIRBOSS sound files recorded or got it from elsewhere it is possible to use those instead of the default ones.
-- I recommend to use exactly the same file names as the original sound files have.
--
-- However, the **timing is critical**! As sometimes sounds are played directly after one another, e.g. by saying the modex but also on other occations, the airboss
-- script has a radio queue implemented (actually two - one for the LSO and one for the Marshal/Airboss radio).
-- By this it is automatically taken care that played messages are not overlapping and played over each other. The disadvantage is, that the script needs to know
-- the exact duration of *each* voice over. For the default sounds this is hard coded in the source code. For your own files, you need to give that bit of information
-- to the script via the @{#AIRBOSS.SetVoiceOver}(**radiocall**, **duration**, **subtitle**, **subduration**, **filename**, **suffix**) function. Only the first two
-- parameters **radiocall** and **duration** are usually important to adjust here.
--
-- For example, if you want to change the LSO "Call the Ball" and "Roger Ball" calls:
--
--     airbossStennis:SetVoiceOver(airbossStennis.LSOCall.CALLTHEBALL, 0.6)
--     airbossStennis:SetVoiceOver(airbossStennis.LSOCall.ROGERBALL, 0.7)
--
-- Again, changing the file name, subtitle, subtitle duration is not required if you name the file exactly like the original one, which is this case would be "LSO-RogerBall.ogg".
--
--
--
-- ## The Radio Dilemma
--
-- DCS offers two (actually three) ways to send radio messages. Each one has its advantages and disadvantages and it is important to understand the differences.
--
-- ### Transmission via Command
--
-- *In principle*, the best way to transmit messages is via the [TransmitMessage](https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/DCS_command_transmitMessage) command.
-- This method has the advantage that subtitles can be used and these subtitles are only displayed to the players who dialed in the same radio frequency as
-- used for the transmission.
-- However, this method unfortunately only works if the sending unit is an **aircraft**. Therefore, it is not usable by the AIRBOSS per se as the transmission comes from
-- a naval unit (i.e. the carrier).
--
-- As a workaround, you can put an aircraft, e.g. a Helicopter on the deck of the carrier or another ship of the strike group. The aircraft should be set to
-- uncontrolled and maybe even to immortal. With the @{#AIRBOSS.SetRadioUnitName}(*unitname*) function you can use this unit as "radio repeater" for both Marshal and LSO
-- radio channels. However, this might lead to interruptions in the transmission if both channels transmit simultaniously. Therefore, it is better to assign a unit for
-- each radio via the @{#AIRBOSS.SetRadioRelayLSO}(unitname) and @{#AIRBOSS.SetRadioRelayMarshal}(unitname) functions.
--
-- Of course you can also use any other aircraft in the vicinity of the carrier, e.g. a rescue helo or a recovery tanker. It is just important that this
-- unit is and stays close the the boat as the distance from the sender to the receiver is modeled in DCS. So messages from too far away might not reach the players.
--
-- **Note** that not all radio messages the airboss sends have voice overs. Therefore, if you use a radio relay unit, users should *not* disable the
-- subtitles in the DCS game menu.
--
-- ### Transmission via Trigger
--
-- Another way to broadcast messages is via the [radio transmission trigger](https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/DCS_func_radioTransmission). This method can be used for all
-- units (land, air, naval). However, messages cannot be subtitled. Therefore, subtitles are displayed to the players via normal textout messages.
-- The disadvantage is that is is impossible to know which players have the right radio frequencies dialed in. Therefore, subtitles of the Marshal radio calls are displayed to all players
-- inside the CCA. Subtitles on the LSO radio frequency are displayed to all players in the pattern.
--
-- ### Sound to User
--
-- The third way to play sounds to the user via the [outsound trigger](https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/DCS_func_outSound).
-- These sounds are not coming from a radio station and therefore can be heard by players independent of their actual radio frequency setting.
-- The AIRBOSS class uses this method to play sounds to players which are of a more "private" nature - for example when a player has left his assigned altitude
-- in the Marshal stack. Often this is the modex of the player in combination with a textout messaged displayed on screen.
--
-- If you want to use this method for all radio messages you can enable it via the @{#AIRBOSS.SetUserSoundRadio}() function. This is the analogue of activating easy comms in DCS.
--
-- Note that this method is used for all players who are in the A-4E community mod as this mod does not have the ability to use radios due to current DCS restrictions.
-- Therefore, A-4E drivers will hear all radio transmissions from the Marshal/Airboss and all LSO messages as soon as their commence the pattern.
--
-- ===
--
-- # AI Handling
--
-- The @{#AIRBOSS} class allows to handle incoming AI units and integrate them into the marshal and landing pattern.
--
-- By default, incoming carrier capable aircraft which are detecting inside the Carrier Controlled Area (CCA) and approach the carrier by more than 5 NM are automatically guided to the holding zone.
-- Each AI group gets its own marshal stack in the holding pattern. Once a recovery window opens, the AI group of the lowest stack is transitioning to the landing pattern
-- and the Marshal stack collapses.
--
-- If no AI handling is desired, this can be turned off via the @{#AIRBOSS.SetHandleAIOFF} function.
--
-- In case only specifc AI groups shall be excluded, it can be done by adding the groups to a set, e.g.
--
--     -- AI groups explicitly excluded from handling by the Airboss
--     local CarrierExcludeSet=SET_GROUP:New():FilterPrefixes("E-2D Wizard Group"):FilterStart()
--     AirbossStennis:SetExcludeAI(CarrierExcludeSet)
--
-- Similarly, to the @{#AIRBOSS.SetExcludeAI} function, AI groups can be explicitly *included* via the @{#AIRBOSS.SetSquadronAI} function. If this is used, only the *included* groups are handled
-- by the AIRBOSS.
--
-- ## Keep the Deck Clean
--
-- Once the AI groups have landed on the carrier, they can be despawned automatically after they shut down their engines. This is achieved by the @{#AIRBOSS.SetDespawnOnEngineShutdown}() function.
--
-- ## Refueling
--
-- AI groups in the marshal pattern can be send to refuel at the recovery tanker or if none is defined to the nearest divert airfield. This can be enabled by the @{#AIRBOSS.SetRefuelAI}(*lowfuelthreshold*).
-- The parameter *lowfuelthreshold* is the threshold of fuel in percent. If the fuel drops below this value, the group will go for refueling. If refueling is performed at the recovery tanker,
-- the group will return to the marshal stack when done. The aircraft will not return from the divert airfield however.
--
-- Note that this feature is not enabled by default as there might be bugs in DCS that prevent a smooth refueling of the AI. Enable at your own risk.
--
-- ## Respawning - DCS Landing Bug
--
-- AI groups that enter the CCA are usually guided to Marshal stack. However, due to DCS limitations they might not obey the landing task if they have another airfield as departure and/or destination in
-- their mission task. Therefore, AI groups can be respawned when detected in the CCA. This should clear all other airfields and allow the aircraft to land on the carrier.
-- This is achieved by the @{AIRBOSS.SetRespawnAI}() function.
--
-- ## Known Issues
--
-- Dealing with the DCS AI is a big challenge and there is only so much one can do. Please bear this in mind!
--
-- ### Pattern Updates
--
-- The holding position of the AI is updated regularly when the carrier has changed its position by more then 2.5 NM or changed its course significantly.
-- The patterns are realized by orbit or racetrack patterns of the DCS scripting API.
-- However, when the position is updated or the marshal stack collapses, it comes to disruptions of the regular orbit because a new waypoint with a new
-- orbit task needs to be created.
--
-- ### Recovery Cases
--
-- The AI performs a very realistic Case I recovery. Therefore, we already have a good Case I and II recovery simulation since the final part of Case II is a
-- Case I recovery. However, I don't think the AI can do a proper Case III recovery. If you give the AI the landing command, it is out of our hands and will
-- always go for a Case I in the final pattern part. Maybe this will improve in future DCS version but right now, there is not much we can do about it.

--
-- # Finite State Machine (FSM)
--
-- The AIRBOSS class has a Finite State Machine (FSM) implementation for the carrier. This allows mission designers to hook into certain events and helps
-- simulate complex behaviour easier.
--
-- FSM events are:
--
--    * @{#AIRBOSS.Start}: Starts the AIRBOSS FSM.
--    * @{#AIRBOSS.Stop}: Stops the AIRBOSS FSM.
--    * @{#AIRBOSS.Idle}: Carrier is set to idle and not recovering.
--    * @{#AIRBOSS.RecoveryStart}: Starts the recovery ops.
--    * @{#AIRBOSS.RecoveryStop}: Stops the recovery ops.
--    * @{#AIRBOSS.RecoveryPause}: Pauses the recovery ops.
--    * @{#AIRBOSS.RecoveryUnpause}: Unpauses the recovery ops.
--    * @{#AIRBOSS.RecoveryCase}: Sets/switches the recovery case.
--    * @{#AIRBOSS.PassingWaypoint}: Carrier passes a waypoint defined in the mission editor.
--
-- These events can be used in the user script. When the event is triggered, it is automatically a function OnAfter*Eventname* called. For example
--
--     --- Carrier just passed waypoint *n*.
--     function AirbossStennis:OnAfterPassingWaypoint(From, Event, To, n)
--      -- Launch green flare.
--      self.carrier:FlareGreen()
--     end
--
-- In this example, we only launch a green flare every time the carrier passes a waypoint defined in the mission editor. But, of course, you can also use it to add new
-- recovery windows each time a carrier passes a waypoint. Therefore, you can create an "infinite" number of windows easily.
--
-- ===
--
-- # Examples
--
-- In this section a few simple examples are given to illustrate the scripting part.
--
-- ## Simple Case
--
--     -- Create AIRBOSS object.
--     local AirbossStennis=AIRBOSS:New("USS Stennis")
--
--     -- Add recovery windows:
--     -- Case I from 9 to 10 am. Carrier will turn into the wind 5 min before window opens and go at a speed so that wind over the deck is 25 knots.
--     local window1=AirbossStennis:AddRecoveryWindow("9:00",  "10:00", 1, nil, true, 25)
--     -- Case II with +15 degrees holding offset from 15:00 for 60 min.
--     local window2=AirbossStennis:AddRecoveryWindow("15:00", "16:00", 2, 15)
--     -- Case III with +30 degrees holding offset from 21:00 to 23:30.
--     local window3=AirbossStennis:AddRecoveryWindow("21:00", "23:30", 3, 30)
--
--     -- Load all saved player grades from your "Saved Games\DCS" folder (if lfs was desanitized).
--     AirbossStennis:Load()
--
--     -- Automatically save player results to your "Saved Games\DCS" folder each time a player get a final grade from the LSO.
--     AirbossStennis:SetAutoSave()
--
--     -- Start airboss class.
--     AirbossStennis:Start()
--
-- ===
--
-- # Debugging
--
-- In case you have problems, it is always a good idea to have a look at your DCS log file. You find it in your "Saved Games" folder, so for example in
--     C:\Users\<yourname>\Saved Games\DCS\Logs\dcs.log
-- All output concerning the @{#AIRBOSS} class should have the string "AIRBOSS" in the corresponding line.
-- Searching for lines that contain the string "error" or "nil" can also give you a hint what's wrong.
--
-- The verbosity of the output can be increased by adding the following lines to your script:
--
--     BASE:TraceOnOff(true)
--     BASE:TraceLevel(1)
--     BASE:TraceClass("AIRBOSS")
--
-- To get even more output you can increase the trace level to 2 or even 3, c.f. @{Core.Base#BASE} for more details.
--
-- ### Debug Mode
--
-- You have the option to enable the debug mode for this class via the @{#AIRBOSS.SetDebugModeON} function.
-- If enabled, status and debug text messages will be displayed on the screen. Also informative marks on the F10 map are created.

-- TODO list
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-- DONE: Handle tanker and AWACS. Put them into pattern.
-- TODO: Handle cases where AI crashes on carrier deck ==> Clean up deck.
-- TODO: Player eject and crash debrief "gradings".
-- TODO: PWO during case 2/3.
-- TODO: PWO when player comes too close to other flight.
-- DONE: Spin pattern. Add radio menu entry. Not sure what to add though?!
-- DONE: Despawn AI after engine shutdown option.
-- DONE: What happens when section lead or member dies?
-- DONE: Do not remove recovered elements but only set switch. Remove only groups which are completely recovered.
-- DONE: Option to filter AI groups for recovery.
-- DONE: Rework radio messages. Better control over player board numbers.
-- DONE: Case I & II/III zone so that player gets into pattern automatically. Case I 3 position on the circle. Case II/III when the player enters the approach corridor maybe?
-- DONE: Add static weather information.
-- DONE: Allow up to two flights per Case I marshal stack.
-- DONE: Add max stack for Case I and define waiting queue outside CCZ.
-- DONE: Maybe do an additional step at the initial (Case II) or bullseye (Case III) and register player in case he missed some steps.
-- DONE: Subtitles off options on player level.
-- DONE: Persistence of results.
-- DONE: Foul deck waveoff.
-- DONE: Get Charlie time estimate function.
-- DONE: Average player grades until landing.
-- DONE: Check player heading at zones, e.g. initial.
-- DONE: Fix bug that player leaves the approach zone if he boltered or was waved off during Case II or III. NOTE: Partly due to increasing approach zone size.
-- DONE: Fix bug that player gets an altitude warning if stack collapses. NOTE: Would not work if two stacks Case I and II/III are used.
-- DONE: Improve radio messages. Maybe usersound for messages which are only meant for players?
-- DONE: Add voice over fly needs and welcome aboard.
-- DONE: Improve trapped wire calculation.
-- DONE: Carrier zone with dimensions of carrier. to check if landing happened on deck.
-- DONE: Carrier runway zone for fould deck check.
-- DONE: More Hints for Case II/III.
-- DONE: Set magnetic declination function.
-- DONE: First send AI to marshal and then allow them into the landing pattern ==> task function when reaching the waypoint.
-- DONE: Extract (static) weather from mission for cloud cover etc.
-- DONE: Check distance to players during approach.
-- DONE: Option to turn AI handling off.
-- DONE: Add user functions.
-- DONE: Update AI holding pattern wrt to moving carrier.
-- DONE: Generalize parameters for other carriers.
-- DONE: Generalize parameters for other aircraft.
-- DONE: Add radio check (LSO, AIRBOSS) to F10 radio menu.
-- DONE: Right pattern step after bolter/wo/patternWO? Guess so.
-- DONE: Set case II and III times (via recovery time).
-- DONE: Get correct wire when trapped. DONE but might need further tweaking.
-- DONE: Add radio transmission queue for LSO and airboss.
-- DONE: CASE II.
-- DONE: CASE III.
-- NOPE: Strike group with helo bringing cargo etc. Not yet.
-- DONE: Handle crash event. Delete A/C from queue, send rescue helo.
-- DONE: Get fuel state in pounds. (working for the hornet, did not check others)
-- DONE: Add aircraft numbers in queue to carrier info F10 radio output.
-- DONE: Monitor holding of players/AI in zoneHolding.
-- DONE: Transmission via radio.
-- DONE: Get board numbers.
-- DONE: Get an _OK_ pass if long in groove. Possible other pattern wave offs as well?!
-- DONE: Add scoring to radio menu.
-- DONE: Optimized debrief.
-- DONE: Add automatic grading.
-- DONE: Fix radio menu.

--- **Ops** - Recovery tanker for carrier operations.
-- 
-- Tanker aircraft flying a racetrack pattern overhead an aircraft carrier.
--
-- **Main Features:**
--
--    * Regular pattern update with respect to carrier position.
--    * No restrictions regarding carrier waypoints and heading.
--    * Automatic respawning when tanker runs out of fuel for 24/7 operations.
--    * Tanker can be spawned cold or hot on the carrier or at any other airbase or directly in air.
--    * Automatic AA TACAN beacon setting.
--    * Multiple tankers at the same carrier.
--    * Multiple carriers due to object oriented approach.
--    * Finite State Machine (FSM) implementation, which allows the mission designer to hook into certain events.

-- # Recovery Tanker
--
-- A recovery tanker acts as refueling unit flying overhead an aircraft carrier in order to supply incoming flights with gas if they go "*Bingo on the Ball*".
-- 
-- # Simple Script
-- 
-- In the mission editor you have to set up a carrier unit, which will act as "mother". In the following, this unit will be named **"USS Stennis"**.
-- 
-- Secondly, you need to define a recovery tanker group in the mission editor and set it to **"LATE ACTIVATED"**. The name of the group we'll use is **"Texaco"**.
-- 
-- The basic script is very simple and consists of only two lines: 
-- 
--     TexacoStennis=RECOVERYTANKER:New(UNIT:FindByName("USS Stennis"), "Texaco")
--     TexacoStennis:Start()
--
-- The first line will create a new RECOVERYTANKER object and the second line starts the process.
-- 
-- With this setup, the tanker will be spawned on the USS Stennis with running engines. After it takes off, it will fly a position ~10 NM astern of the boat and from there start its
-- pattern. This is a counter clockwise racetrack pattern at angels 6.
-- 
-- A TACAN beacon will be automatically activated at channel 1Y with morse code "TKR". See below how to change this setting.
-- 
-- Note that the Tanker entry in the F10 radio menu will appear once the tanker is on station and not before. If you spawn the tanker cold or hot on the carrier, this will take ~10 minutes.
-- 
-- Also note, that currently the only carrier capable aircraft in DCS is the S-3B Viking (tanker version). If you want to use another refueling aircraft, you need to activate air spawn
-- or set a different land based airport of the map. This will be explained below.
-- 
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\RECOVERYTANKER\RecoveryTanker_Pattern.jpg)
-- 
-- The "downwind" leg of the pattern is normally used for refueling.
-- 
-- Once the tanker runs out of fuel itself, it will return to the carrier, respawn with full fuel and take up its pattern again.
-- 
-- # Options and Fine Tuning
-- 
-- Several parameters can be customized by the mission designer via user API functions.
-- 
-- ## Takeoff Type
-- 
-- By default, the tanker is spawned with running engines on the carrier. The mission designer has set option to set the take off type via the @{#RECOVERYTANKER.SetTakeoff} function.
-- Or via shortcuts
-- 
--    * @{#RECOVERYTANKER.SetTakeoffHot}(): Will set the takeoff to hot, which is also the default.
--    * @{#RECOVERYTANKER.SetTakeoffCold}(): Will set the takeoff type to cold, i.e. with engines off.
--    * @{#RECOVERYTANKER.SetTakeoffAir}(): Will set the takeoff type to air, i.e. the tanker will be spawned in air ~10 NM astern the carrier.  
-- 
-- For example,
--     TexacoStennis=RECOVERYTANKER:New(UNIT:FindByName("USS Stennis"), "Texaco")
--     TexacoStennis:SetTakeoffAir()
--     TexacoStennis:Start()
-- will spawn the tanker several nautical miles astern the carrier. From there it will start its pattern.
-- 
-- Spawning in air is not as realistic but can be useful do avoid DCS bugs and shortcomings like aircraft crashing into each other on the flight deck.
-- 
-- **Note** that when spawning in air is set, the tanker will also not return to the boat, once it is out of fuel. Instead it will be respawned directly in air.
-- 
-- If only the first spawning should happen on the carrier, one use the @{#RECOVERYTANKER.SetRespawnInAir}() function to command that all subsequent spawning
-- will happen in air.
-- 
-- If the tanker should not be respawned at all, one can set @{#RECOVERYTANKER.SetRespawnOff}().
-- 
-- ## Pattern Parameters
-- 
-- The racetrack pattern parameters can be fine tuned via the following functions:
-- 
--    * @{#RECOVERYTANKER.SetAltitude}(*altitude*), where *altitude* is the pattern altitude in feet. Default 6000 ft.
--    * @{#RECOVERYTANKER.SetSpeed}(*speed*), where *speed* is the pattern speed in knots. Default is 274 knots TAS which results in ~250 KIAS.
--    * @{#RECOVERYTANKER.SetRacetrackDistances}(*distbow*, *diststern*), where *distbow* and *diststern* are the distances ahead and astern the boat (default 10 and 4 NM), respectively.
--    In principle, these number should be more like 8 and 6 NM but since the carrier is moving, we give translate the pattern points a bit forward.
--    
-- ## Home Base
-- 
-- The home base is the airbase where the tanker is spawned (if not in air) and where it will go once it is running out of fuel. The default home base is the carrier itself.
-- The home base can be changed via the @{#RECOVERYTANKER.SetHomeBase}(*airbase*) function, where *airbase* can be a MOOSE @{Wrapper.Airbase#AIRBASE} object or simply the 
-- name of the airbase passed as string.
-- 
-- Note that only the S3B Viking is a refueling aircraft that is carrier capable. You can use other tanker aircraft types, e.g. the KC-130, but in this case you must either 
-- set an airport of the map as home base or activate spawning in air via @{#RECOVERYTANKER.SetTakeoffAir}.
--
-- ## TACAN
-- 
-- A TACAN beacon for the tanker can be activated via scripting, i.e. no need to do this within the mission editor.
-- 
-- The beacon is create with the @{#RECOVERYTANKER.SetTACAN}(*channel*, *morse*) function, where *channel* is the TACAN channel (a number), 
-- and *morse* a three letter string that is send as morse code to identify the tanker:
-- 
--     TexacoStennis:SetTACAN(10, "TKR")
--     
-- will activate a TACAN beacon 10Y with more code "TKR".
-- 
-- If you do not set a TACAN beacon explicitly, it is automatically create on channel 1Y and morse code "TKR".
-- The mode is *always* "Y" for AA TACAN stations since mode "X" does not work!
-- 
-- In order to completely disable the TACAN beacon, you can use the @{#RECOVERYTANKER.SetTACANoff}() function in your script.
-- 
-- ## Radio
-- 
-- The radio frequency on optionally modulation can be set via the @{#RECOVERYTANKER.SetRadio}(*frequency*, *modulation*) function. The first parameter denotes the radio frequency the tanker uses in MHz.
-- The second parameter is *optional* and sets the modulation to either AM (default) or FM.
-- 
-- For example,
-- 
--     TexacoStennis:SetRadio(260)
--
-- will set the frequency of the tanker to 260 MHz AM.
-- 
-- **Note** that if this is not set, the tanker frequency will be automatically set to **251 MHz AM**.
--
-- ## Pattern Update
-- 
-- The pattern of the tanker is updated if at least one of the two following conditions apply:
-- 
--    * The aircraft carrier changes its position by more than 5 NM (see @{#RECOVERYTANKER.SetPatternUpdateDistance}) and/or
--    * The aircraft carrier changes its heading by more than 5 degrees (see @{#RECOVERYTANKER.SetPatternUpdateHeading})
-- 
-- **Note** that updating the pattern often leads to a more or less small disruption of the perfect racetrack pattern of the tanker. This is because a new waypoint and new racetrack points
-- need to be set as DCS task. This is the reason why the pattern is not constantly updated but rather when the position or heading of the carrier changes significantly.
--
-- The maximum update frequency is set to 10 minutes. You can adjust this by @{#RECOVERYTANKER.SetPatternUpdateInterval}.
-- Also the pattern will not be updated whilst the carrier is turning or the tanker is currently refueling another unit.
-- 
-- ## Callsign
-- 
-- The callsign of the tanker can be set via the @{#RECOVERYTANKER.SetCallsign}(*callsignname*, *callsignnumber*) function. Both parameters are *numbers*.
-- The first parameter *callsignname* defines the name (1=Texaco, 2=Arco, 3=Shell). The second (optional) parameter specifies the first number and has to be between 1-9.
-- Also see [DCS_enum_callsigns](https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/DCS_enum_callsigns) and [DCS_command_setCallsign](https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/DCS_command_setCallsign).
-- 
--     TexacoStennis:SetCAllsign(CALLSIGN.Tanker.Arco)
--
-- For convenience, MOOSE has a CALLSIGN enumerator introduced.
-- 
-- ## AWACS
-- 
-- You can use the class also to have an AWACS orbiting overhead the carrier. This requires to add the @{#RECOVERYTANKER.SetAWACS}(*switch*, *eplrs*) function to the script, which sets the enroute tasks AWACS 
-- as soon as the aircraft enters its pattern. Note that the EPLRS data link is enabled by default. To disable it, the second parameter *eplrs* must be set to *false*.
-- 
-- A simple script could look like this:
-- 
--     -- E-2D at USS Stennis spawning in air.
--     local awacsStennis=RECOVERYTANKER:New("USS Stennis", "E2D Group")
--     
--     -- Custom settings:
--     awacsStennis:SetAWACS()
--     awacsStennis:SetCallsign(CALLSIGN.AWACS.Wizard, 1)
--     awacsStennis:SetTakeoffAir()
--     awacsStennis:SetAltitude(20000)
--     awacsStennis:SetRadio(262)
--     awacsStennis:SetTACAN(2, "WIZ")
--     
--     -- Start AWACS.
--     awacsStennis:Start()
--
-- # Finite State Machine
-- 
-- The implementation uses a Finite State Machine (FSM). This allows the mission designer to hook in to certain events.
-- 
--    * @{#RECOVERYTANKER.Start}: This event starts the FMS process and initialized parameters and spawns the tanker. DCS event handling is started.
--    * @{#RECOVERYTANKER.Status}: This event is called in regular intervals (~60 seconds) and checks the status of the tanker and carrier. It triggers other events if necessary.
--    * @{#RECOVERYTANKER.PatternUpdate}: This event commands the tanker to update its pattern
--    * @{#RECOVERYTANKER.RTB}: This events sends the tanker to its home base (usually the carrier). This is called once the tanker runs low on gas.
--    * @{#RECOVERYTANKER.RefuelStart}: This event is called when a tanker starts to refuel another unit.
--    * @{#RECOVERYTANKER.RefuelStop}: This event is called when a tanker stopped to refuel another unit.
--    * @{#RECOVERYTANKER.Run}: This event is called when the tanker resumes normal operations, e.g. after refueling stopped or tanker finished refueling.
--    * @{#RECOVERYTANKER.Stop}: This event stops the FSM by unhandling DCS events.
--
-- The mission designer can capture these events by RECOVERYTANKER.OnAfter*Eventname* functions, e.g. @{#RECOVERYTANKER.OnAfterPatternUpdate}.
-- 
-- # Debugging
-- 
-- In case you have problems, it is always a good idea to have a look at your DCS log file. You find it in your "Saved Games" folder, so for example in
--     C:\Users\<yourname>\Saved Games\DCS\Logs\dcs.log
-- All output concerning the @{#RECOVERYTANKER} class should have the string "RECOVERYTANKER" in the corresponding line.
-- Searching for lines that contain the string "error" or "nil" can also give you a hint what's wrong.
-- 
-- The verbosity of the output can be increased by adding the following lines to your script:
-- 
--     BASE:TraceOnOff(true)
--     BASE:TraceLevel(1)
--     BASE:TraceClass("RECOVERYTANKER")
-- 
-- To get even more output you can increase the trace level to 2 or even 3, c.f. @{Core.Base#BASE} for more details.
-- 
-- ## Debug Mode
-- 
-- You have the option to enable the debug mode for this class via the @{#RECOVERYTANKER.SetDebugModeON} function.
-- If enabled, text messages about the tanker status will be displayed on screen and marks of the pattern created on the F10 map.

--- **Ops** - Rescue helicopter for carrier operations.
-- 
-- Recue helicopter for carrier operations.
--
-- **Main Features:**
--
--    * Close formation with carrier.
--    * No restrictions regarding carrier waypoints and heading.
--    * Automatic respawning on empty fuel for 24/7 operations.
--    * Automatic rescuing of crashed or ejected pilots in the vicinity of the carrier.

-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\RESCUEHELO\RescueHelo_Main.png)
--
-- # Recue Helo
--
-- The rescue helo will fly in close formation with another unit, which is typically an aircraft carrier.
-- It's mission is to rescue crashed or ejected pilots. Well, and to look cool...
-- 
-- # Simple Script
-- 
-- In the mission editor you have to set up a carrier unit, which will act as "mother". In the following, this unit will be named "*USS Stennis*".
-- 
-- Secondly, you need to define a rescue helicopter group in the mission editor and set it to "**LATE ACTIVATED**". The name of the group we'll use is "*Recue Helo*".
-- 
-- The basic script is very simple and consists of only two lines. 
-- 
--      RescueheloStennis=RESCUEHELO:New(UNIT:FindByName("USS Stennis"), "Rescue Helo")
--      RescueheloStennis:Start()
--
-- The first line will create a new @{#RESCUEHELO} object via @{#RESCUEHELO.New} and the second line starts the process by calling @{#RESCUEHELO.Start}.
-- 
-- **NOTE** that it is *very important* to define the RESCUEHELO object as **global** variable. Otherwise, the lua garbage collector will kill the formation for unknown reasons!
-- 
-- By default, the helo will be spawned on the *USS Stennis* with hot engines. Then it will take off and go on station on the starboard side of the boat.
-- 
-- Once the helo is out of fuel, it will return to the carrier. When the helo lands, it will be respawned immidiately and go back on station.
-- 
-- If a unit crashes or a pilot ejects within a radius of 30 km from the USS Stennis, the helo will automatically fly to the crash side and 
-- rescue to pilot. This will take around 5 minutes. After that, the helo will return to the Stennis, land there and bring back the poor guy.
-- When this is done, the helo will go back on station.
-- 
-- # Fine Tuning
-- 
-- The implementation allows to customize quite a few settings easily via user API functions.
-- 
-- ## Takeoff Type
-- 
-- By default, the helo is spawned with running engines on the carrier. The mission designer has set option to set the take off type via the @{#RESCUEHELO.SetTakeoff} function.
-- Or via shortcuts
-- 
--    * @{#RESCUEHELO.SetTakeoffHot}(): Will set the takeoff to hot, which is also the default.
--    * @{#RESCUEHELO.SetTakeoffCold}(): Will set the takeoff type to cold, i.e. with engines off.
--    * @{#RESCUEHELO.SetTakeoffAir}(): Will set the takeoff type to air, i.e. the helo will be spawned in air near the unit which he follows.  
-- 
-- For example,
--      RescueheloStennis=RESCUEHELO:New(UNIT:FindByName("USS Stennis"), "Rescue Helo")
--      RescueheloStennis:SetTakeoffAir()
--      RescueheloStennis:Start()
-- will spawn the helo near the USS Stennis in air.
-- 
-- Spawning in air is not as realistic but can be useful do avoid DCS bugs and shortcomings like aircraft crashing into each other on the flight deck.
-- 
-- **Note** that when spawning in air is set, the helo will also not return to the boat, once it is out of fuel. Instead it will be respawned in air.
-- 
-- If only the first spawning should happen on the carrier, one use the @{#RESCUEHELO.SetRespawnInAir}() function to command that all subsequent spawning
-- will happen in air.
-- 
-- If the helo should no be respawned at all, one can set @{#RESCUEHELO.SetRespawnOff}(). 
-- 
-- ## Home Base
-- 
-- It is possible to define a "home base" other than the aircraft carrier using the @{#RESCUEHELO.SetHomeBase}(*airbase*) function, where *airbase* is
-- a @{Wrapper.Airbase#AIRBASE} object or simply the name of the airbase.
-- 
-- For example, one could imagine a strike group, and the helo will be spawned from another ship which has a helo pad.
-- 
--      RescueheloStennis=RESCUEHELO:New(UNIT:FindByName("USS Stennis"), "Rescue Helo")
--      RescueheloStennis:SetHomeBase(AIRBASE:FindByName("USS Normandy"))
--      RescueheloStennis:Start()
-- 
-- In this case, the helo will be spawned on the USS Normandy and then make its way to the USS Stennis to establish the formation.
-- Note that the distance to the mother ship should be rather small since the helo will go there very slowly.
-- 
-- Once the helo runs out of fuel, it will return to the USS Normandy and not the Stennis for respawning.
-- 
-- ## Formation Position
-- 
-- The position of the helo relative to the mother ship can be tuned via the functions
-- 
--    * @{#RESCUEHELO.SetAltitude}(*altitude*), where *altitude* is the altitude the helo flies at in meters. Default is 70 meters.
--    * @{#RESCUEHELO.SetOffsetX}(*distance*), where *distance is the distance in the direction of movement of the carrier. Default is 200 meters.
--    * @{#RESCUEHELO.SetOffsetZ}(*distance*), where *distance is the distance on the starboard side. Default is 100 meters.
--
-- ## Rescue Operations
--
-- By default the rescue helo will start a rescue operation if an aircraft crashes or a pilot ejects in the vicinity of the carrier.
-- This is restricted to aircraft of the same coalition as the rescue helo. Enemy (or neutral) pilots will be left on their own.
-- 
-- The standard "rescue zone" has a radius of 15 NM (~28 km) around the carrier. The radius can be adjusted via the @{#RESCUEHELO.SetRescueZone}(*radius*) functions,
-- where *radius* is the radius of the zone in nautical miles. If you use multiple rescue helos in the same mission, you might want to ensure that the radii
-- are not overlapping so that two helos try to rescue the same pilot. But it should not hurt either way.
-- 
-- Once the helo reaches the crash site, the rescue operation will last 5 minutes. This time can be changed by @{#RESCUEHELO.SetRescueDuration(*time*),
-- where *time* is the duration in minutes.
-- 
-- During the rescue operation, the helo will hover (orbit) over the crash site at a speed of 5 knots. The speed can be set by @{#RESCUEHELO.SetRescueHoverSpeed}(*speed*),
-- where the *speed* is given in knots.
-- 
-- If no rescue operations should be carried out by the helo, this option can be completely disabled by using @{#RESCUEHELO.SetRescueOff}().
--
-- # Finite State Machine
-- 
-- The implementation uses a Finite State Machine (FSM). This allows the mission designer to hook in to certain events.
-- 
--    * @{#RESCUEHELO.Start}: This eventfunction starts the FMS process and initialized parameters and spawns the helo. DCS event handling is started.
--    * @{#RESCUEHELO.Status}: This eventfunction is called in regular intervals (~60 seconds) and checks the status of the helo and carrier. It triggers other events if necessary.
--    * @{#RESCUEHELO.Rescue}: This eventfunction commands the helo to go on a rescue operation at a certain coordinate.
--    * @{#RESCUEHELO.RTB}: This eventsfunction sends the helo to its home base (usually the carrier). This is called once the helo runs low on gas.
--    * @{#RESCUEHELO.Run}: This eventfunction is called when the helo resumes normal operations and goes back on station.  
--    * @{#RESCUEHELO.Stop}: This eventfunction stops the FSM by unhandling DCS events.
--
-- The mission designer can capture these events by RESCUEHELO.OnAfter*Eventname* functions, e.g. @{#RESCUEHELO.OnAfterRescue}.
--
-- # Debugging
-- 
-- In case you have problems, it is always a good idea to have a look at your DCS log file. You find it in your "Saved Games" folder, so for example in
--     C:\Users\<yourname>\Saved Games\DCS\Logs\dcs.log
-- All output concerning the @{#RESCUEHELO} class should have the string "RESCUEHELO" in the corresponding line.
-- Searching for lines that contain the string "error" or "nil" can also give you a hint what's wrong.
-- 
-- The verbosity of the output can be increased by adding the following lines to your script:
-- 
--     BASE:TraceOnOff(true)
--     BASE:TraceLevel(1)
--     BASE:TraceClass("RESCUEHELO")
-- 
-- To get even more output you can increase the trace level to 2 or even 3, c.f. @{Core.Base#BASE} for more details.
-- 
-- ## Debug Mode
-- 
-- You have the option to enable the debug mode for this class via the @{#RESCUEHELO.SetDebugModeON} function.
-- If enabled, text messages about the helo status will be displayed on screen and marks of the pattern created on the F10 map.

-- # The ATIS Concept
--
-- Automatic terminal information service, or ATIS, is a continuous broadcast of recorded aeronautical information in busier terminal areas, *i.e.* airports and their immediate surroundings.
-- ATIS broadcasts contain essential information, such as current weather information, active runways, and any other information required by the pilots.
--
-- # DCS Limitations
--
-- Unfortunately, the DCS API only allow to get the temperature, pressure as well as wind direction and speed. Therefore, some other information such as cloud coverage, base and ceiling are not available
-- when dynamic weather is used.
--
-- # Scripting
--
-- The lua script to create an ATIS at an airport is pretty easy:
--
--     -- ATIS at Batumi Airport on 143.00 MHz AM.
--     atisBatumi=ATIS:New("Batumi", 143.00)
--     atisBatumi:Start()
--
-- The @{#ATIS.New}(*airbasename*, *frequency*) creates a new ATIS object. The parameter *airbasename* is the name of the airbase or airport. Note that this has to be spelled exactly as in the DCS mission editor.
-- The parameter *frequency* is the frequency the ATIS broadcasts in MHz.
--
-- Broadcasting is started via the @{#ATIS.Start}() function. The start can be delayed by useing @{#ATIS.__Start}(*delay*), where *delay* is the delay in seconds.
--
-- ## Subtitles
--
-- Currently, DCS allows for displaying subtitles of radio transmissions only from airborne units, *i.e.* airplanes and helicopters. Therefore, if you want to have subtitles, it is necessary to place an
-- additonal aircraft on the ATIS airport and set it to uncontrolled. This unit can then function as a radio relay to transmit messages with subtitles. These subtitles will only be displayed, if the
-- player has tuned in the correct ATIS frequency.
--
-- Radio transmissions via an airborne unit can be set via the @{#ATIS.SetRadioRelayUnitName}(*unitname*) function, where the parameter *unitname* is the name of the unit passed as string, *e.g.*
--
--     atisBatumi:SetRadioRelayUnitName("Radio Relay Batumi")
--
-- With a unit set in the mission editor with name "Radio Relay Batumi".
--
-- **Note** that you should use a different relay unit for each ATIS!
--
-- By default, subtitles are displayed for 10 seconds. This can be changed using @{#ATIS.SetSubtitleDuration}(*duration*) with *duration* being the duration in seconds.
-- Setting a *duration* of 0 will completely disable all subtitles.
--
-- ## Active Runway
--
-- By default, the currently active runway is determined automatically by analysing the wind direction. Therefore, you should obviously set the wind speed to be greater zero in your mission.
--
-- Note however, there are a few special cases, where automatic detection does not yield the correct or desired result.
-- For example, there are airports with more than one runway facing in the same direction (usually denoted left and right). In this case, there is obviously no *unique* result depending on the wind vector.
--
-- If the automatic runway detection fails, the active runway can be specified manually in the script via the @{#ATIS.SetActiveRunway}(*runway*) function.
-- The parameter *runway* is a string which can be used to specify the runway heading and, if applicable, whether the left or right runway is in use.
--
-- For example, setting runway 21L would be
--
--     atisNellis:SetActiveRunway("21L")
--
-- The script will examine the string and search for the characters "L" (left) and "R" (right).
--
-- If only left or right should be set and the direction determined by the wind vector, the runway heading can be left out, *e.g.*
--
--     atisAbuDhabi:SetActiveRunway("L")
--
-- The first two digits of the runway are determined by converting the *true* runway heading into its magnetic heading. The magnetic declination (or variation) is assumed to be constant on the given map.
-- An explicit correction factor can be set via @{#ATIS.SetRunwayCorrectionMagnetic2True}.
--
-- ## Tower Frequencies
--
-- The tower frequency (or frequencies) can also be included in the ATIS information. However, there is no way to get these automatically. Therefore, it is necessary to manually specify them in the script via the
-- @{#ATIS.SetTowerFrequencies}(*frequencies*) function. The parameter *frequencies* can be a plain number if only one frequency is necessary or it can be a table of frequencies.
--
-- ## Nav Aids
--
-- Frequencies or channels of navigation aids can be specified by the user and are then provided as additional information. Unfortunately, it is **not possible** to aquire this information via the DCS API
-- we have access to.
--
-- As they say, all road lead to Rome but (for me) the easiest way to obtain the available nav aids data of an airport, is to start a mission and click on an airport symbol.
--
-- For example, the *AIRDROME DATA* for **Batumi** reads:
--
--    * **TACAN** *16X* - set via @{#ATIS.SetTACAN}
--    * **VOR** *N/A* - set via @{#ATIS.SetVOR}

--
-- ### TACAN
--
-- The TACtical Air Navigation system [(TACAN)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tactical_air_navigation_system) channel can be set via the @{#ATIS.SetTACAN}(*channel*) function, where *channel* is the TACAN channel. Band is always assumed to be X-ray.
--
-- ### VOR
--
-- The Very high frequency Omni-directional Range [(VOR)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VHF_omnidirectional_range) frequency can be set via the @{#ATIS.SetVOR}(*frequency*) function, where *frequency* is the VOR frequency.
--
-- ### ILS
--
-- The Instrument Landing System [(ILS)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrument_landing_system) frequency can be set via the @{#ATIS.AddILS}(*frequency*, *runway*) function, where *frequency* is the ILS frequency and *runway* the two letter string of the corresponding runway, *e.g.* "31".
-- If the parameter *runway* is omitted (nil) then the frequency is supposed to be valid for all runways of the airport.
--
-- ### NDB
--
-- Inner and outer Non-Directional (radio) Beacons [NDBs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-directional_beacon) can be set via the @{#ATIS.AddNDBinner}(*frequency*, *runway*) and @{#ATIS.AddNDBouter}(*frequency*, *runway*) functions, respectively.
--
-- In both cases, the parameter *frequency* is the NDB frequency and *runway* the two letter string of the corresponding runway, *e.g.* "31".
-- If the parameter *runway* is omitted (nil) then the frequency is supposed to be valid for all runways of the airport.
--
-- ## RSBN
--
-- The RSBN channel can be set via the @{#ATIS.SetRSBN}(*channel*) function.
--
-- ## PRMG
--
-- The PRMG channel can be set via the @{#ATIS.AddPRMG}(*channel*, *runway*) function for each *runway*.
--
-- ## Unit System
--
-- By default, information is given in imperial units, *i.e.* wind speed in knots, pressure in inches of mercury, visibility in Nautical miles, etc.
--
-- If you prefer metric units, you can enable this via the @{#ATIS.SetMetricUnits}() function,
--
--     atisBatumi:SetMetricUnits()
--
-- With this, wind speed is given in meters per second, pressure in hecto Pascal (mbar), visibility in kilometers etc.
--
-- # Sound Files
--
-- More than 180 individual sound files have been created using a text-to-speech program. All ATIS information is given with en-US accent.
--
-- Check out the pinned messages in the Moose discord #ops-atis channel.
--
-- To include the files, open the mission (.miz) file with, *e.g.*, 7-zip. Then just drag-n-drop the file into the miz.
--
-- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\ATIS\ATIS_SoundFolder.png)
--
-- **Note** that the default folder name is *ATIS Soundfiles/*. If you want to change it, you can use the @{#ATIS.SetSoundfilesPath}(*path*), where *path* is the path of the directory. This must end with a slash "/"!
--
-- # Marks on the F10 Map
--
-- You can place marks on the F10 map via the @{#ATIS.SetMapMarks}() function. These will contain info about the ATIS frequency, the currently active runway and some basic info about the weather (wind, pressure and temperature).

--- **AI** -- Balance player slots with AI to create an engaging simulation environment, independent of the amount of players. 
-- 
-- **Features:**
-- 
--   * Automatically spawn AI as a replacement of free player slots for a coalition.
--   * Make the AI to perform tasks.
--   * Define a maximum amount of AI to be active at the same time.
--   * Configure the behaviour of AI when a human joins a slot for which an AI is active.

-- @field Core.Spawn#SPAWN SpawnAI
-- @field Wrapper.Group#GROUP Test
-- @extends Core.Fsm#FSM_SET


--- Monitors and manages as many replacement AI groups as there are
-- CLIENTS in a SET\_CLIENT collection, which are not occupied by human players. 
-- In other words, use AI_BALANCER to simulate human behaviour by spawning in replacement AI in multi player missions.
-- 
-- The parent class @{Core.Fsm#FSM_SET} manages the functionality to control the Finite State Machine (FSM). 
-- The mission designer can tailor the behaviour of the AI_BALANCER, by defining event and state transition methods.
-- An explanation about state and event transition methods can be found in the @{FSM} module documentation.
-- 
-- The mission designer can tailor the AI_BALANCER behaviour, by implementing a state or event handling method for the following:
-- 
--   * @{#AI_BALANCER.OnAfterSpawned}( AISet, From, Event, To, AIGroup ): Define to add extra logic when an AI is spawned.
-- 
-- ## 1. AI_BALANCER construction
-- 
-- Create a new AI_BALANCER object with the @{#AI_BALANCER.New}() method:
-- 
-- ## 2. AI_BALANCER is a FSM
-- 
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_Balancer\Dia13.JPG)
-- 
-- ### 2.1. AI_BALANCER States
-- 
--   * **Monitoring** ( Set ): Monitoring the Set if all AI is spawned for the Clients.
--   * **Spawning** ( Set, ClientName ): There is a new AI group spawned with ClientName as the name of reference.
--   * **Spawned** ( Set, AIGroup ): A new AI has been spawned. You can handle this event to customize the AI behaviour with other AI FSMs or own processes.
--   * **Destroying** ( Set, AIGroup ): The AI is being destroyed.
--   * **Returning** ( Set, AIGroup ): The AI is returning to the airbase specified by the ReturnToAirbase methods. Handle this state to customize the return behaviour of the AI, if any.
-- 
-- ### 2.2. AI_BALANCER Events
-- 
--   * **Monitor** ( Set ): Every 10 seconds, the Monitor event is triggered to monitor the Set.
--   * **Spawn** ( Set, ClientName ): Triggers when there is a new AI group to be spawned with ClientName as the name of reference.
--   * **Spawned** ( Set, AIGroup ): Triggers when a new AI has been spawned. You can handle this event to customize the AI behaviour with other AI FSMs or own processes.
--   * **Destroy** ( Set, AIGroup ): The AI is being destroyed.
--   * **Return** ( Set, AIGroup ): The AI is returning to the airbase specified by the ReturnToAirbase methods.
--    
-- ## 3. AI_BALANCER spawn interval for replacement AI
-- 
-- Use the method @{#AI_BALANCER.InitSpawnInterval}() to set the earliest and latest interval in seconds that is waited until a new replacement AI is spawned.
-- 
-- ## 4. AI_BALANCER returns AI to Airbases
-- 
-- By default, When a human player joins a slot that is AI_BALANCED, the AI group will be destroyed by default. 
-- However, there are 2 additional options that you can use to customize the destroy behaviour.
-- When a human player joins a slot, you can configure to let the AI return to:
-- 
--    * @{#AI_BALANCER.ReturnToHomeAirbase}: Returns the AI to the **home** @{Wrapper.Airbase#AIRBASE}.
--    * @{#AI_BALANCER.ReturnToNearestAirbases}: Returns the AI to the **nearest friendly** @{Wrapper.Airbase#AIRBASE}.
-- 
-- Note that when AI returns to an airbase, the AI_BALANCER will trigger the **Return** event and the AI will return, 
-- otherwise the AI_BALANCER will trigger a **Destroy** event, and the AI will be destroyed.

--- The AI_AIR class implements the core functions to operate an AI @{Wrapper.Group}.
-- 
-- 
-- # 1) AI_AIR constructor
--   
--   * @{#AI_AIR.New}(): Creates a new AI_AIR object.
-- 
-- # 2) AI_AIR is a Finite State Machine.
-- 
-- This section must be read as follows. Each of the rows indicate a state transition, triggered through an event, and with an ending state of the event was executed.
-- The first column is the **From** state, the second column the **Event**, and the third column the **To** state.
-- 
-- So, each of the rows have the following structure.
-- 
--   * **From** => **Event** => **To**
-- 
-- Important to know is that an event can only be executed if the **current state** is the **From** state.
-- This, when an **Event** that is being triggered has a **From** state that is equal to the **Current** state of the state machine, the event will be executed,
-- and the resulting state will be the **To** state.
-- 
-- These are the different possible state transitions of this state machine implementation: 
-- 
--   * Idle => Start => Monitoring
--
-- ## 2.1) AI_AIR States.
-- 
--   * **Idle**: The process is idle.
-- 
-- ## 2.2) AI_AIR Events.
-- 
--   * **Start**: Start the transport process.
--   * **Stop**: Stop the transport process.

--- The AI_AIR_PATROL class implements the core functions to patrol a @{Zone} by an AI @{Wrapper.Group} or @{Wrapper.Group} 
-- and automatically engage any airborne enemies that are within a certain range or within a certain zone.
-- 
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia3.JPG)
-- 
-- The AI_AIR_PATROL is assigned a @{Wrapper.Group} and this must be done before the AI_AIR_PATROL process can be started using the **Start** event.
-- 
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia4.JPG)
-- 
-- The AI will fly towards the random 3D point within the patrol zone, using a random speed within the given altitude and speed limits.
-- Upon arrival at the 3D point, a new random 3D point will be selected within the patrol zone using the given limits.
-- 
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia5.JPG)
-- 
-- This cycle will continue.
-- 
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia6.JPG)
-- 
-- During the patrol, the AI will detect enemy targets, which are reported through the **Detected** event.
--
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia9.JPG)
-- 
-- When enemies are detected, the AI will automatically engage the enemy.
-- 
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia10.JPG)
-- 
-- Until a fuel or damage treshold has been reached by the AI, or when the AI is commanded to RTB.
-- When the fuel treshold has been reached, the airplane will fly towards the nearest friendly airbase and will land.

-- 
-- ### 2.1 AI_AIR_PATROL States
-- 
--   * **None** ( Group ): The process is not started yet.
--   * **Patrolling** ( Group ): The AI is patrolling the Patrol Zone.
--   * **Engaging** ( Group ): The AI is engaging the bogeys.
--   * **Returning** ( Group ): The AI is returning to Base..
-- 
-- ### 2.2 AI_AIR_PATROL Events
-- 
--   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Start}**: Start the process.
--   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.PatrolRoute}**: Route the AI to a new random 3D point within the Patrol Zone.
--   * **@{#AI_AIR_PATROL.Engage}**: Let the AI engage the bogeys.
--   * **@{#AI_AIR_PATROL.Abort}**: Aborts the engagement and return patrolling in the patrol zone.
--   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.RTB}**: Route the AI to the home base.
--   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Detect}**: The AI is detecting targets.
--   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Detected}**: The AI has detected new targets.
--   * **@{#AI_AIR_PATROL.Destroy}**: The AI has destroyed a bogey @{Wrapper.Unit}.
--   * **@{#AI_AIR_PATROL.Destroyed}**: The AI has destroyed all bogeys @{Wrapper.Unit}s assigned in the CAS task.
--   * **Status** ( Group ): The AI is checking status (fuel and damage). When the tresholds have been reached, the AI will RTB.
--
-- ## 3. Set the Range of Engagement
-- 
-- ![Range](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia11.JPG)
-- 
-- An optional range can be set in meters, 
-- that will define when the AI will engage with the detected airborne enemy targets.
-- The range can be beyond or smaller than the range of the Patrol Zone.
-- The range is applied at the position of the AI.
-- Use the method @{AI.AI_CAP#AI_AIR_PATROL.SetEngageRange}() to define that range.

-- ## 4. Set the Zone of Engagement
-- 
-- ![Zone](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia12.JPG)
-- 
-- An optional @{Zone} can be set, 
-- that will define when the AI will engage with the detected airborne enemy targets.

--- Implements the core functions to intercept intruders. Use the Engage trigger to intercept intruders.
-- 
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_GCI\Dia3.JPG)
-- 
-- The AI_AIR_ENGAGE is assigned a @{Wrapper.Group} and this must be done before the AI_AIR_ENGAGE process can be started using the **Start** event.
-- 
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_GCI\Dia4.JPG)
-- 
-- The AI will fly towards the random 3D point within the patrol zone, using a random speed within the given altitude and speed limits.
-- Upon arrival at the 3D point, a new random 3D point will be selected within the patrol zone using the given limits.
-- 
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_GCI\Dia5.JPG)
-- 
-- This cycle will continue.
-- 
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_GCI\Dia6.JPG)
-- 
-- During the patrol, the AI will detect enemy targets, which are reported through the **Detected** event.
--
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_GCI\Dia9.JPG)
-- 
-- When enemies are detected, the AI will automatically engage the enemy.
-- 
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_GCI\Dia10.JPG)

-- @module AI.AI_A2A_Patrol
-- @image AI_Air_Patrolling.JPG


--- @type AI_A2A_PATROL
-- @extends AI.AI_A2A#AI_A2A

--- Implements the core functions to patrol a @{Zone} by an AI @{Wrapper.Group} or @{Wrapper.Group}.
-- 
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_PATROL\Dia3.JPG)
-- 
-- The AI_A2A_PATROL is assigned a @{Wrapper.Group} and this must be done before the AI_A2A_PATROL process can be started using the **Start** event.
-- 
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_PATROL\Dia4.JPG)
-- 
-- The AI will fly towards the random 3D point within the patrol zone, using a random speed within the given altitude and speed limits.
-- Upon arrival at the 3D point, a new random 3D point will be selected within the patrol zone using the given limits.
-- 
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_PATROL\Dia5.JPG)
-- 
-- This cycle will continue.
-- 
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_PATROL\Dia6.JPG)
-- 
-- During the patrol, the AI will detect enemy targets, which are reported through the **Detected** event.
--
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_PATROL\Dia9.JPG)
-- 
---- Note that the enemy is not engaged! To model enemy engagement, either tailor the **Detected** event, or
-- use derived AI_ classes to model AI offensive or defensive behaviour.
-- 
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_PATROL\Dia10.JPG)
-- 
-- Until a fuel or damage treshold has been reached by the AI, or when the AI is commanded to RTB.
-- When the fuel treshold has been reached, the airplane will fly towards the nearest friendly airbase and will land.
-- 
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_PATROL\Dia11.JPG)
-- 
-- ## 1. AI_A2A_PATROL constructor
--   
--   * @{#AI_A2A_PATROL.New}(): Creates a new AI_A2A_PATROL object.
-- 
-- ## 2. AI_A2A_PATROL is a FSM
-- 
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_PATROL\Dia2.JPG)
-- 
-- ### 2.1. AI_A2A_PATROL States
-- 
--   * **None** ( Group ): The process is not started yet.
--   * **Patrolling** ( Group ): The AI is patrolling the Patrol Zone.
--   * **Returning** ( Group ): The AI is returning to Base.
--   * **Stopped** ( Group ): The process is stopped.
--   * **Crashed** ( Group ): The AI has crashed or is dead.
-- 
-- ### 2.2. AI_A2A_PATROL Events
-- 
--   * **Start** ( Group ): Start the process.
--   * **Stop** ( Group ): Stop the process.
--   * **Route** ( Group ): Route the AI to a new random 3D point within the Patrol Zone.
--   * **RTB** ( Group ): Route the AI to the home base.
--   * **Detect** ( Group ): The AI is detecting targets.
--   * **Detected** ( Group ): The AI has detected new targets.
--   * **Status** ( Group ): The AI is checking status (fuel and damage). When the tresholds have been reached, the AI will RTB.
--    
-- ## 3. Set or Get the AI controllable
-- 
--   * @{#AI_A2A_PATROL.SetControllable}(): Set the AIControllable.
--   * @{#AI_A2A_PATROL.GetControllable}(): Get the AIControllable.
--
-- ## 4. Set the Speed and Altitude boundaries of the AI controllable
--
--   * @{#AI_A2A_PATROL.SetSpeed}(): Set the patrol speed boundaries of the AI, for the next patrol.
--   * @{#AI_A2A_PATROL.SetAltitude}(): Set altitude boundaries of the AI, for the next patrol.
-- 
-- ## 5. Manage the detection process of the AI controllable
-- 
-- The detection process of the AI controllable can be manipulated.
-- Detection requires an amount of CPU power, which has an impact on your mission performance.
-- Only put detection on when absolutely necessary, and the frequency of the detection can also be set.
-- 
--   * @{#AI_A2A_PATROL.SetDetectionOn}(): Set the detection on. The AI will detect for targets.
--   * @{#AI_A2A_PATROL.SetDetectionOff}(): Set the detection off, the AI will not detect for targets. The existing target list will NOT be erased.
-- 
-- The detection frequency can be set with @{#AI_A2A_PATROL.SetRefreshTimeInterval}( seconds ), where the amount of seconds specify how much seconds will be waited before the next detection.
-- Use the method @{#AI_A2A_PATROL.GetDetectedUnits}() to obtain a list of the @{Wrapper.Unit}s detected by the AI.
-- 
-- The detection can be filtered to potential targets in a specific zone.
-- Use the method @{#AI_A2A_PATROL.SetDetectionZone}() to set the zone where targets need to be detected.
-- Note that when the zone is too far away, or the AI is not heading towards the zone, or the AI is too high, no targets may be detected
-- according the weather conditions.
-- 
-- ## 6. Manage the "out of fuel" in the AI_A2A_PATROL
-- 
-- When the AI is out of fuel, it is required that a new AI is started, before the old AI can return to the home base.
-- Therefore, with a parameter and a calculation of the distance to the home base, the fuel treshold is calculated.
-- When the fuel treshold is reached, the AI will continue for a given time its patrol task in orbit, 
-- while a new AI is targetted to the AI_A2A_PATROL.
-- Once the time is finished, the old AI will return to the base.
-- Use the method @{#AI_A2A_PATROL.ManageFuel}() to have this proces in place.
-- 
-- ## 7. Manage "damage" behaviour of the AI in the AI_A2A_PATROL
-- 
-- When the AI is damaged, it is required that a new Patrol is started. However, damage cannon be foreseen early on. 
-- Therefore, when the damage treshold is reached, the AI will return immediately to the home base (RTB).
-- Use the method @{#AI_A2A_PATROL.ManageDamage}() to have this proces in place.

-- 
-- # QUICK START GUIDE
-- 
-- There are basically two classes available to model an A2A defense system.
-- 
-- AI\_A2A\_DISPATCHER is the main A2A defense class that models the A2A defense system.
-- AI\_A2A\_GCICAP derives or inherits from AI\_A2A\_DISPATCHER and is a more **noob** user friendly class, but is less flexible.
-- 
-- Before you start using the AI\_A2A\_DISPATCHER or AI\_A2A\_GCICAP ask youself the following questions.
-- 
-- ## 0. Do I need AI\_A2A\_DISPATCHER or do I need AI\_A2A\_GCICAP?
-- 
-- AI\_A2A\_GCICAP, automates a lot of the below questions using the mission editor and requires minimal lua scripting.
-- But the AI\_A2A\_GCICAP provides less flexibility and a lot of options are defaulted.
-- With AI\_A2A\_DISPATCHER you can setup a much more **fine grained** A2A defense mechanism, but some more (easy) lua scripting is required.
-- 
-- ## 1. Which Coalition am I modeling an A2A defense system for? blue or red?
-- 
-- One AI\_A2A\_DISPATCHER object can create a defense system for **one coalition**, which is blue or red.
-- If you want to create a **mutual defense system**, for both blue and red, then you need to create **two** AI\_A2A\_DISPATCHER **objects**,
-- each governing their defense system.
-- 
--      
-- ## 2. Which type of EWR will I setup? Grouping based per AREA, per TYPE or per UNIT? (Later others will follow).
-- 
-- The MOOSE framework leverages the @{Detection} classes to perform the EWR detection.
-- Several types of @{Detection} classes exist, and the most common characteristics of these classes is that they:
-- 
--    * Perform detections from multiple FACs as one co-operating entity.
--    * Communicate with a Head Quarters, which consolidates each detection.
--    * Groups detections based on a method (per area, per type or per unit).
--    * Communicates detections.
-- 
-- ## 3. Which EWR units will be used as part of the detection system? Only Ground or also Airborne?
-- 
-- Typically EWR networks are setup using 55G6 EWR, 1L13 EWR, Hawk sr and Patriot str ground based radar units. 
-- These radars have different ranges and 55G6 EWR and 1L13 EWR radars are Eastern Bloc units (eg Russia, Ukraine, Georgia) while the Hawk and Patriot radars are Western (eg US).
-- Additionally, ANY other radar capable unit can be part of the EWR network! Also AWACS airborne units, planes, helicopters can help to detect targets, as long as they have radar.
-- The position of these units is very important as they need to provide enough coverage 
-- to pick up enemy aircraft as they approach so that CAP and GCI flights can be tasked to intercept them.
-- 
-- ## 4. Is a border required?
-- 
-- Is this a cold car or a hot war situation? In case of a cold war situation, a border can be set that will only trigger defenses
-- if the border is crossed by enemy units.
-- 
-- ## 5. What maximum range needs to be checked to allow defenses to engage any attacker?
-- 
-- A good functioning defense will have a "maximum range" evaluated to the enemy when CAP will be engaged or GCI will be spawned.
-- 
-- ## 6. Which Airbases, Carrier Ships, Farps will take part in the defense system for the Coalition?
-- 
-- Carefully plan which airbases will take part in the coalition. Color each airbase in the color of the coalition.
-- 
-- ## 7. Which Squadrons will I create and which name will I give each Squadron?
-- 
-- The defense system works with Squadrons. Each Squadron must be given a unique name, that forms the **key** to the defense system.
-- Several options and activities can be set per Squadron.
-- 
-- ## 8. Where will the Squadrons be located? On Airbases? On Carrier Ships? On Farps?
-- 
-- Squadrons are placed as the "home base" on an airfield, carrier or farp.
-- Carefully plan where each Squadron will be located as part of the defense system.
-- 
-- ## 9. Which plane models will I assign for each Squadron? Do I need one plane model or more plane models per squadron?
-- 
-- Per Squadron, one or multiple plane models can be allocated as **Templates**.
-- These are late activated groups with one airplane or helicopter that start with a specific name, called the **template prefix**.
-- The A2A defense system will select from the given templates a random template to spawn a new plane (group).
--  
-- ## 10. Which payloads, skills and skins will these plane models have?
-- 
-- Per Squadron, even if you have one plane model, you can still allocate multiple templates of one plane model, 
-- each having different payloads, skills and skins. 
-- The A2A defense system will select from the given templates a random template to spawn a new plane (group).
-- 
-- ## 11. For each Squadron, which will perform CAP?
-- 
-- Per Squadron, evaluate which Squadrons will perform CAP.
-- Not all Squadrons need to perform CAP.
-- 
-- ## 12. For each Squadron doing CAP, in which ZONE(s) will the CAP be performed?
-- 
-- Per CAP, evaluate **where** the CAP will be performed, in other words, define the **zone**.
-- Near the border or a bit further away?
-- 
-- ## 13. For each Squadron doing CAP, which zone types will I create?
-- 
-- Per CAP zone, evaluate whether you want:
-- 
--    * simple trigger zones
--    * polygon zones
--    * moving zones
-- 
-- Depending on the type of zone selected, a different @{Zone} object needs to be created from a ZONE_ class.
-- 
-- ## 14. For each Squadron doing CAP, what are the time intervals and CAP amounts to be performed?
-- 
-- For each CAP:
-- 
--    * **How many** CAP you want to have airborne at the same time?
--    * **How frequent** you want the defense mechanism to check whether to start a new CAP?
-- 
-- ## 15. For each Squadron, which will perform GCI?
-- 
-- For each Squadron, evaluate which Squadrons will perform GCI?
-- Not all Squadrons need to perform GCI.
-- 
-- ## 16. For each Squadron, which takeoff method will I use?
-- 
-- For each Squadron, evaluate which takeoff method will be used:
-- 
--    * Straight from the air
--    * From the runway
--    * From a parking spot with running engines
--    * From a parking spot with cold engines
-- 
-- **The default takeoff method is staight in the air.**
-- 
-- ## 17. For each Squadron, which landing method will I use?
-- 
-- For each Squadron, evaluate which landing method will be used:
-- 
--    * Despawn near the airbase when returning
--    * Despawn after landing on the runway
--    * Despawn after engine shutdown after landing
--    
-- **The default landing method is despawn when near the airbase when returning.**
-- 
-- ## 18. For each Squadron, which overhead will I use?
-- 
-- For each Squadron, depending on the airplane type (modern, old) and payload, which overhead is required to provide any defense?
-- In other words, if **X** attacker airplanes are detected, how many **Y** defense airplanes need to be spawned per squadron?
-- The **Y** is dependent on the type of airplane (era), payload, fuel levels, skills etc.
-- The overhead is a **factor** that will calculate dynamically how many **Y** defenses will be required based on **X** attackers detected.
-- 
-- **The default overhead is 1. A value greater than 1, like 1.5 will increase the overhead with 50%, a value smaller than 1, like 0.5 will decrease the overhead with 50%.**
-- 
-- ## 19. For each Squadron, which grouping will I use?
-- 
-- When multiple targets are detected, how will defense airplanes be grouped when multiple defense airplanes are spawned for multiple attackers?
-- Per one, two, three, four?
-- 
-- **The default grouping is 1. That means, that each spawned defender will act individually.**

do -- AI_A2A_DISPATCHER

  --- AI_A2A_DISPATCHER class.
  -- @type AI_A2A_DISPATCHER
  -- @extends Tasking.DetectionManager#DETECTION_MANAGER

  --- Create an automatic air defence system for a coalition. 
  -- 
  -- ===
  -- 
  -- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AI_A2A_DISPATCHER\Dia3.JPG)
  -- 
  -- It includes automatic spawning of Combat Air Patrol aircraft (CAP) and Ground Controlled Intercept aircraft (GCI) in response to enemy air movements that are detected by a ground based radar network. 
  -- CAP flights will take off and proceed to designated CAP zones where they will remain on station until the ground radars direct them to intercept detected enemy aircraft or they run short of fuel and must return to base (RTB). When a CAP flight leaves their zone to perform an interception or return to base a new CAP flight will spawn to take their place.
  -- If all CAP flights are engaged or RTB then additional GCI interceptors will scramble to intercept unengaged enemy aircraft under ground radar control.
  -- With a little time and with a little work it provides the mission designer with a convincing and completely automatic air defence system. 
  -- In short it is a plug in very flexible and configurable air defence module for DCS World.
  -- 
  -- Note that in order to create a two way A2A defense system, two AI\_A2A\_DISPATCHER defense system may need to be created, for each coalition one.
  -- This is a good implementation, because maybe in the future, more coalitions may become available in DCS world.

  --
  -- # USAGE GUIDE
  -- 
  -- ## 1. AI\_A2A\_DISPATCHER constructor:
  -- 
  -- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AI_A2A_DISPATCHER\AI_A2A_DISPATCHER-ME_1.JPG)
  -- 
  -- 
  -- The @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.New}() method creates a new AI\_A2A\_DISPATCHER instance.
  -- 
  -- ### 1.1. Define the **EWR network**:
  -- 
  -- As part of the AI\_A2A\_DISPATCHER :New() constructor, an EWR network must be given as the first parameter.
  -- An EWR network, or, Early Warning Radar network, is used to early detect potential airborne targets and to understand the position of patrolling targets of the enemy.
  -- 
  -- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AI_A2A_DISPATCHER\Dia5.JPG)
  -- 
  -- Typically EWR networks are setup using 55G6 EWR, 1L13 EWR, Hawk sr and Patriot str ground based radar units. 
  -- These radars have different ranges and 55G6 EWR and 1L13 EWR radars are Eastern Bloc units (eg Russia, Ukraine, Georgia) while the Hawk and Patriot radars are Western (eg US).
  -- Additionally, ANY other radar capable unit can be part of the EWR network! Also AWACS airborne units, planes, helicopters can help to detect targets, as long as they have radar.
  -- The position of these units is very important as they need to provide enough coverage 
  -- to pick up enemy aircraft as they approach so that CAP and GCI flights can be tasked to intercept them.
  -- 
  -- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AI_A2A_DISPATCHER\Dia7.JPG)
  --  
  -- Additionally in a hot war situation where the border is no longer respected the placement of radars has a big effect on how fast the war escalates. 
  -- For example if they are a long way forward and can detect enemy planes on the ground and taking off 
  -- they will start to vector CAP and GCI flights to attack them straight away which will immediately draw a response from the other coalition. 
  -- Having the radars further back will mean a slower escalation because fewer targets will be detected and 
  -- therefore less CAP and GCI flights will spawn and this will tend to make just the border area active rather than a melee over the whole map. 
  -- It all depends on what the desired effect is. 
  -- 
  -- EWR networks are **dynamically constructed**, that is, they form part of the @{Functional.Detection#DETECTION_BASE} object that is given as the input parameter of the AI\_A2A\_DISPATCHER class.
  -- By defining in a **smart way the names or name prefixes of the groups** with EWR capable units, these groups will be **automatically added or deleted** from the EWR network, 
  -- increasing or decreasing the radar coverage of the Early Warning System.
  -- 
  -- See the following example to setup an EWR network containing EWR stations and AWACS.
  -- 
  -- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AI_A2A_DISPATCHER\AI_A2A_DISPATCHER-ME_2.JPG)
  -- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AI_A2A_DISPATCHER\AI_A2A_DISPATCHER-ME_3.JPG)
  -- 
  --     -- Define a SET_GROUP object that builds a collection of groups that define the EWR network.
  --     -- Here we build the network with all the groups that have a name starting with DF CCCP AWACS and DF CCCP EWR.
  --     DetectionSetGroup = SET_GROUP:New()
  --     DetectionSetGroup:FilterPrefixes( { "DF CCCP AWACS", "DF CCCP EWR" } )
  --     DetectionSetGroup:FilterStart()
  --     
  --     -- Setup the detection and group targets to a 30km range!
  --     Detection = DETECTION_AREAS:New( DetectionSetGroup, 30000 )
  --
  --     -- Setup the A2A dispatcher, and initialize it.
  --     A2ADispatcher = AI_A2A_DISPATCHER:New( Detection )
  --     
  -- The above example creates a SET_GROUP instance, and stores this in the variable (object) **DetectionSetGroup**.
  -- **DetectionSetGroup** is then being configured to filter all active groups with a group name starting with **DF CCCP AWACS** or **DF CCCP EWR** to be included in the Set.
  -- **DetectionSetGroup** is then being ordered to start the dynamic filtering. Note that any destroy or new spawn of a group with the above names will be removed or added to the Set.
  -- 
  -- Then a new Detection object is created from the class DETECTION_AREAS. A grouping radius of 30000 is choosen, which is 30km.
  -- The **Detection** object is then passed to the @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.New}() method to indicate the EWR network configuration and setup the A2A defense detection mechanism.
  -- 
  -- You could build a **mutual defense system** like this:
  -- 
  --     A2ADispatcher_Red = AI_A2A_DISPATCHER:New( EWR_Red )
  --     A2ADispatcher_Blue = AI_A2A_DISPATCHER:New( EWR_Blue )
  --    
  -- ### 1.2. Define the detected **target grouping radius**:
  -- 
  -- The target grouping radius is a property of the Detection object, that was passed to the AI\_A2A\_DISPATCHER object, but can be changed.
  -- The grouping radius should not be too small, but also depends on the types of planes and the era of the simulation.
  -- Fast planes like in the 80s, need a larger radius than WWII planes.  
  -- Typically I suggest to use 30000 for new generation planes and 10000 for older era aircraft.
  -- 
  -- Note that detected targets are constantly re-grouped, that is, when certain detected aircraft are moving further than the group radius, then these aircraft will become a separate
  -- group being detected. This may result in additional GCI being started by the dispatcher! So don't make this value too small!
  -- 
  -- ## 3. Set the **Engage Radius**:
  -- 
  -- Define the **Engage Radius** to **engage any target by airborne friendlies**, 
  -- which are executing **cap** or **returning** from an intercept mission.
  -- 
  -- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AI_A2A_DISPATCHER\Dia10.JPG)
  -- 
  -- If there is a target area detected and reported, 
  -- then any friendlies that are airborne near this target area, 
  -- will be commanded to (re-)engage that target when available (if no other tasks were commanded).
  -- 
  -- For example, if **50000** or **50km** is given as a value, then any friendly that is airborne within **50km** from the detected target, 
  -- will be considered to receive the command to engage that target area.
  -- 
  -- You need to evaluate the value of this parameter carefully:
  -- 
  --   * If too small, more intercept missions may be triggered upon detected target areas.
  --   * If too large, any airborne cap may not be able to reach the detected target area in time, because it is too far.
  -- 
  -- The **default** Engage Radius is defined as **100000** or **100km**. 
  -- Use the method @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetEngageRadius}() to set a specific Engage Radius.
  -- **The Engage Radius is defined for ALL squadrons which are operational.**
  -- 
  -- Demonstration Mission: [AID-019 - AI_A2A - Engage Range Test](https://github.com/FlightControl-Master/MOOSE_MISSIONS/tree/release-2-2-pre/AID%20-%20AI%20Dispatching/AID-019%20-%20AI_A2A%20-%20Engage%20Range%20Test)
  -- 
  -- In this example an Engage Radius is set to various values.
  -- 
  --     -- Set 50km as the radius to engage any target by airborne friendlies.
  --     A2ADispatcher:SetEngageRadius( 50000 )
  --   
  --     -- Set 100km as the radius to engage any target by airborne friendlies.
  --     A2ADispatcher:SetEngageRadius() -- 100000 is the default value.
  --   
  -- 
  -- ## 4. Set the **Ground Controlled Intercept Radius** or **Gci radius**:
  -- 
  -- When targets are detected that are still really far off, you don't want the AI_A2A_DISPATCHER to launch intercepts just yet.
  -- You want it to wait until a certain Gci range is reached, which is the **distance of the closest airbase to target** 
  -- being **smaller** than the **Ground Controlled Intercept radius** or **Gci radius**.
  -- 
  -- The **default** Gci radius is defined as **200000** or **200km**. Override the default Gci radius when the era of the warfare is early, or, 
  -- when you don't want to let the AI_A2A_DISPATCHER react immediately when a certain border or area is not being crossed.
  -- 
  -- Use the method @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetGciRadius}() to set a specific controlled ground intercept radius.
  -- **The Ground Controlled Intercept radius is defined for ALL squadrons which are operational.**
  -- 
  -- Demonstration Mission: [AID-013 - AI_A2A - Intercept Test](https://github.com/FlightControl-Master/MOOSE_MISSIONS/tree/release-2-2-pre/AID%20-%20AI%20Dispatching/AID-013%20-%20AI_A2A%20-%20Intercept%20Test)
  -- 
  -- In these examples, the Gci Radius is set to various values:
  -- 
  --     -- Now Setup the A2A dispatcher, and initialize it using the Detection object.
  --     A2ADispatcher = AI_A2A_DISPATCHER:New( Detection ) 
  --   
  --     -- Set 100km as the radius to ground control intercept detected targets from the nearest airbase.
  --     A2ADispatcher:SetGciRadius( 100000 )
  --   
  --     -- Set 200km as the radius to ground control intercept.
  --     A2ADispatcher:SetGciRadius() -- 200000 is the default value.
  --   
  -- ## 5. Set the **borders**:
  -- 
  -- According to the tactical and strategic design of the mission broadly decide the shape and extent of red and blue territories. 
  -- They should be laid out such that a border area is created between the two coalitions.
  -- 
  -- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AI_A2A_DISPATCHER\Dia4.JPG)
  -- 
  -- **Define a border area to simulate a cold war scenario.**
  -- Use the method @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetBorderZone}() to create a border zone for the dispatcher.
  -- 
  -- A **cold war** is one where CAP aircraft patrol their territory but will not attack enemy aircraft or launch GCI aircraft unless enemy aircraft enter their territory. In other words the EWR may detect an enemy aircraft but will only send aircraft to attack it if it crosses the border.
  -- A **hot war** is one where CAP aircraft will intercept any detected enemy aircraft and GCI aircraft will launch against detected enemy aircraft without regard for territory. In other words if the ground radar can detect the enemy aircraft then it will send CAP and GCI aircraft to attack it.
  -- 
  -- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AI_A2A_DISPATCHER\Dia9.JPG)
  -- 
  -- If it's a cold war then the **borders of red and blue territory** need to be defined using a @{zone} object derived from @{Core.Zone#ZONE_BASE}.
  -- If a hot war is chosen then **no borders** actually need to be defined using the helicopter units other than 
  -- it makes it easier sometimes for the mission maker to envisage where the red and blue territories roughly are. 
  -- In a hot war the borders are effectively defined by the ground based radar coverage of a coalition.
  -- 
  -- Demonstration Mission: [AID-009 - AI_A2A - Border Test](https://github.com/FlightControl-Master/MOOSE_MISSIONS/tree/release-2-2-pre/AID%20-%20AI%20Dispatching/AID-009 - AI_A2A - Border Test)
  -- 
  -- In this example a border is set for the CCCP A2A dispatcher:
  -- 
  -- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AI_A2A_DISPATCHER\AI_A2A_DISPATCHER-ME_4.JPG)
  -- 
  --     -- Setup the A2A dispatcher, and initialize it.
  --     A2ADispatcher = AI_A2A_DISPATCHER:New( Detection )
  --     
  --     -- Setup the border.
  --     -- Initialize the dispatcher, setting up a border zone. This is a polygon, 
  --     -- which takes the waypoints of a late activated group with the name CCCP Border as the boundaries of the border area.
  --     -- Any enemy crossing this border will be engaged.
  -- 
  --     CCCPBorderZone = ZONE_POLYGON:New( "CCCP Border", GROUP:FindByName( "CCCP Border" ) )
  --     A2ADispatcher:SetBorderZone( CCCPBorderZone )
  --     
  -- ## 6. Squadrons: 
  -- 
  -- The AI\_A2A\_DISPATCHER works with **Squadrons**, that need to be defined using the different methods available.
  -- 
  -- Use the method @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetSquadron}() to **setup a new squadron** active at an airfield, 
  -- while defining which plane types are being used by the squadron and how many resources are available.
  -- 
  -- Squadrons:
  -- 
  --   * Have name (string) that is the identifier or key of the squadron.
  --   * Have specific plane types.
  --   * Are located at one airbase.
  --   * Optionally have a limited set of resources. The default is that squadrons have **unlimited resources**.
  -- 
  -- The name of the squadron given acts as the **squadron key** in the AI\_A2A\_DISPATCHER:Squadron...() methods.
  -- 
  -- Additionally, squadrons have specific configuration options to:
  -- 
  --   * Control how new aircraft are taking off from the airfield (in the air, cold, hot, at the runway).
  --   * Control how returning aircraft are landing at the airfield (in the air near the airbase, after landing, after engine shutdown).
  --   * Control the **grouping** of new aircraft spawned at the airfield. If there is more than one aircraft to be spawned, these may be grouped.
  --   * Control the **overhead** or defensive strength of the squadron. Depending on the types of planes and amount of resources, the mission designer can choose to increase or reduce the amount of planes spawned.
  --   
  -- For performance and bug workaround reasons within DCS, squadrons have different methods to spawn new aircraft or land returning or damaged aircraft.
  -- 
  -- This example defines a couple of squadrons. Note the templates defined within the Mission Editor.
  -- 
  -- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AI_A2A_DISPATCHER\AI_A2A_DISPATCHER-ME_5.JPG)
  -- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AI_A2A_DISPATCHER\AI_A2A_DISPATCHER-ME_6.JPG)
  -- 
  --      -- Setup the squadrons.
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadron( "Mineralnye", AIRBASE.Caucasus.Mineralnye_Vody, { "SQ CCCP SU-27" }, 20 )
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadron( "Maykop", AIRBASE.Caucasus.Maykop_Khanskaya, { "SQ CCCP MIG-31" }, 20 )
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadron( "Mozdok", AIRBASE.Caucasus.Mozdok, { "SQ CCCP MIG-31" }, 20 )
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadron( "Sochi", AIRBASE.Caucasus.Sochi_Adler, { "SQ CCCP SU-27" }, 20 )
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadron( "Novo", AIRBASE.Caucasus.Novorossiysk, { "SQ CCCP SU-27" }, 20 )
  -- 
  -- ### 6.1. Set squadron take-off methods
  -- 
  -- Use the various SetSquadronTakeoff... methods to control how squadrons are taking-off from the airfield:
  -- 
  --   * @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronTakeoff}() is the generic configuration method to control takeoff from the air, hot, cold or from the runway. See the method for further details.
  --   * @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronTakeoffInAir}() will spawn new aircraft from the squadron directly in the air.
  --   * @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronTakeoffFromParkingCold}() will spawn new aircraft in without running engines at a parking spot at the airfield.
  --   * @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronTakeoffFromParkingHot}() will spawn new aircraft in with running engines at a parking spot at the airfield.
  --   * @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronTakeoffFromRunway}() will spawn new aircraft at the runway at the airfield.
  -- 
  -- **The default landing method is to spawn new aircraft directly in the air.**
  -- 
  -- Use these methods to fine-tune for specific airfields that are known to create bottlenecks, or have reduced airbase efficiency.
  -- The more and the longer aircraft need to taxi at an airfield, the more risk there is that:
  -- 
  --   * aircraft will stop waiting for each other or for a landing aircraft before takeoff.
  --   * aircraft may get into a "dead-lock" situation, where two aircraft are blocking each other.
  --   * aircraft may collide at the airbase.
  --   * aircraft may be awaiting the landing of a plane currently in the air, but never lands ...
  --   
  -- Currently within the DCS engine, the airfield traffic coordination is erroneous and contains a lot of bugs.
  -- If you experience while testing problems with aircraft take-off or landing, please use one of the above methods as a solution to workaround these issues!
  -- 
  -- This example sets the default takeoff method to be from the runway.
  -- And for a couple of squadrons overrides this default method.
  -- 
  --      -- Setup the Takeoff methods
  --      
  --      -- The default takeoff
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetDefaultTakeOffFromRunway()
  --      
  --      -- The individual takeoff per squadron
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronTakeoff( "Mineralnye", AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.Takeoff.Air )
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronTakeoffInAir( "Sochi" )
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronTakeoffFromRunway( "Mozdok" )
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronTakeoffFromParkingCold( "Maykop" )
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronTakeoffFromParkingHot( "Novo" )  
  -- 
  -- 
  -- ### 6.1. Set Squadron takeoff altitude when spawning new aircraft in the air.
  -- 
  -- In the case of the @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronTakeoffInAir}() there is also an other parameter that can be applied.
  -- That is modifying or setting the **altitude** from where planes spawn in the air.
  -- Use the method @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronTakeoffInAirAltitude}() to set the altitude for a specific squadron.
  -- The default takeoff altitude can be modified or set using the method @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronTakeoffInAirAltitude}().
  -- As part of the method @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronTakeoffInAir}() a parameter can be specified to set the takeoff altitude.
  -- If this parameter is not specified, then the default altitude will be used for the squadron.
  -- 
  -- ### 6.2. Set squadron landing methods
  -- 
  -- In analogy with takeoff, the landing methods are to control how squadrons land at the airfield:
  -- 
  --   * @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronLanding}() is the generic configuration method to control landing, namely despawn the aircraft near the airfield in the air, right after landing, or at engine shutdown.
  --   * @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronLandingNearAirbase}() will despawn the returning aircraft in the air when near the airfield.
  --   * @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronLandingAtRunway}() will despawn the returning aircraft directly after landing at the runway.
  --   * @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronLandingAtEngineShutdown}() will despawn the returning aircraft when the aircraft has returned to its parking spot and has turned off its engines.
  -- 
  -- You can use these methods to minimize the airbase coodination overhead and to increase the airbase efficiency.
  -- When there are lots of aircraft returning for landing, at the same airbase, the takeoff process will be halted, which can cause a complete failure of the
  -- A2A defense system, as no new CAP or GCI planes can takeoff.
  -- Note that the method @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronLandingNearAirbase}() will only work for returning aircraft, not for damaged or out of fuel aircraft.
  -- Damaged or out-of-fuel aircraft are returning to the nearest friendly airbase and will land, and are out of control from ground control.
  -- 
  -- This example defines the default landing method to be at the runway.
  -- And for a couple of squadrons overrides this default method.
  -- 
  --      -- Setup the Landing methods
  -- 
  --      -- The default landing method
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetDefaultLandingAtRunway()
  -- 
  --      -- The individual landing per squadron
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronLandingAtRunway( "Mineralnye" )
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronLandingNearAirbase( "Sochi" )
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronLandingAtEngineShutdown( "Mozdok" )
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronLandingNearAirbase( "Maykop" )
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronLanding( "Novo", AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.Landing.AtRunway )
  -- 
  -- 
  -- ### 6.3. Set squadron grouping
  -- 
  -- Use the method @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronGrouping}() to set the grouping of CAP or GCI flights that will take-off when spawned.
  -- 
  -- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AI_A2A_DISPATCHER\Dia12.JPG)
  -- 
  -- In the case of GCI, the @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronGrouping}() method has additional behaviour. When there aren't enough CAP flights airborne, a GCI will be initiated for the remaining
  -- targets to be engaged. Depending on the grouping parameter, the spawned flights for GCI are grouped into this setting.   
  -- For example with a group setting of 2, if 3 targets are detected and cannot be engaged by CAP or any airborne flight, 
  -- a GCI needs to be started, the GCI flights will be grouped as follows: Group 1 of 2 flights and Group 2 of one flight!
  -- 
  -- Even more ... If one target has been detected, and the overhead is 1.5, grouping is 1, then two groups of planes will be spawned, with one unit each!
  -- 
  -- The **grouping value is set for a Squadron**, and can be **dynamically adjusted** during mission execution, so to adjust the defense flights grouping when the tactical situation changes.
  -- 
  -- ### 6.4. Overhead and Balance the effectiveness of the air defenses in case of GCI.
  -- 
  -- The effectiveness can be set with the **overhead parameter**. This is a number that is used to calculate the amount of Units that dispatching command will allocate to GCI in surplus of detected amount of units.
  -- The **default value** of the overhead parameter is 1.0, which means **equal balance**. 
  -- 
  -- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AI_A2A_DISPATCHER\Dia11.JPG)
  -- 
  -- However, depending on the (type of) aircraft (strength and payload) in the squadron and the amount of resources available, this parameter can be changed.
  -- 
  -- The @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronOverhead}() method can be used to tweak the defense strength,
  -- taking into account the plane types of the squadron. 
  -- 
  -- For example, a MIG-31 with full long-distance A2A missiles payload, may still be less effective than a F-15C with short missiles...
  -- So in this case, one may want to use the @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetOverhead}() method to allocate more defending planes as the amount of detected attacking planes.
  -- The overhead must be given as a decimal value with 1 as the neutral value, which means that overhead values: 
  -- 
  --   * Higher than 1.0, for example 1.5, will increase the defense unit amounts. For 4 planes detected, 6 planes will be spawned.
  --   * Lower than 1, for example 0.75, will decrease the defense unit amounts. For 4 planes detected, only 3 planes will be spawned.
  -- 
  -- The amount of defending units is calculated by multiplying the amount of detected attacking planes as part of the detected group 
  -- multiplied by the Overhead and rounded up to the smallest integer. 
  -- 
  -- For example ... If one target has been detected, and the overhead is 1.5, grouping is 1, then two groups of planes will be spawned, with one unit each!
  -- 
  -- The **overhead value is set for a Squadron**, and can be **dynamically adjusted** during mission execution, so to adjust the defense overhead when the tactical situation changes.
  --
  -- ## 6.5. Squadron fuel treshold.
  -- 
  -- When an airplane gets **out of fuel** to a certain %-tage, which is by default **15% (0.15)**, there are two possible actions that can be taken:
  --  - The defender will go RTB, and will be replaced with a new defender if possible.
  --  - The defender will refuel at a tanker, if a tanker has been specified for the squadron.
  -- 
  -- Use the method @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronFuelThreshold}() to set the **squadron fuel treshold** of spawned airplanes for all squadrons.
  -- 
  -- ## 7. Setup a squadron for CAP
  -- 
  -- ### 7.1. Set the CAP zones
  -- 
  -- CAP zones are patrol areas where Combat Air Patrol (CAP) flights loiter until they either return to base due to low fuel or are assigned an interception task by ground control.
  --   
  -- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AI_A2A_DISPATCHER\Dia6.JPG)
  -- 
  --   * As the CAP flights wander around within the zone waiting to be tasked, these zones need to be large enough that the aircraft are not constantly turning 
  --   but do not have to be big and numerous enough to completely cover a border.
  --   
  --   * CAP zones can be of any type, and are derived from the @{Core.Zone#ZONE_BASE} class. Zones can be @{Core.Zone#ZONE}, @{Core.Zone#ZONE_POLYGON}, @{Core.Zone#ZONE_UNIT}, @{Core.Zone#ZONE_GROUP}, etc.
  --   This allows to setup **static, moving and/or complex zones** wherein aircraft will perform the CAP.
  --   
  --   * Typically 20000-50000 metres width is used and they are spaced so that aircraft in the zone waiting for tasks don't have to far to travel to protect their coalitions important targets. 
  --   These targets are chosen as part of the mission design and might be an important airfield or town etc. 
  --   Zone size is also determined somewhat by territory size, plane types 
  --   (eg WW2 aircraft might mean smaller zones or more zones because they are slower and take longer to intercept enemy aircraft).
  --   
  --   * In a **cold war** it is important to make sure a CAP zone doesn't intrude into enemy territory as otherwise CAP flights will likely cross borders 
  --   and spark a full scale conflict which will escalate rapidly.
  --   
  --   * CAP flights do not need to be in the CAP zone before they are "on station" and ready for tasking. 
  --   
  --   * Typically if a CAP flight is tasked and therefore leaves their zone empty while they go off and intercept their target another CAP flight will spawn to take their place.
  --  
  -- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AI_A2A_DISPATCHER\Dia7.JPG)
  -- 
  -- The following example illustrates how CAP zones are coded:
  -- 
  -- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AI_A2A_DISPATCHER\AI_A2A_DISPATCHER-ME_8.JPG) 
  -- 
  --      -- CAP Squadron execution.
  --      CAPZoneEast = ZONE_POLYGON:New( "CAP Zone East", GROUP:FindByName( "CAP Zone East" ) )
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronCap( "Mineralnye", CAPZoneEast, 4000, 10000, 500, 600, 800, 900 )
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronCapInterval( "Mineralnye", 2, 30, 60, 1 )
  --      
  -- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AI_A2A_DISPATCHER\AI_A2A_DISPATCHER-ME_7.JPG) 
  --        
  --      CAPZoneWest = ZONE_POLYGON:New( "CAP Zone West", GROUP:FindByName( "CAP Zone West" ) )
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronCap( "Sochi", CAPZoneWest, 4000, 8000, 600, 800, 800, 1200, "BARO" )
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronCapInterval( "Sochi", 2, 30, 120, 1 )
  -- 
  -- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AI_A2A_DISPATCHER\AI_A2A_DISPATCHER-ME_9.JPG) 
  --        
  --      CAPZoneMiddle = ZONE:New( "CAP Zone Middle")
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronCap( "Maykop", CAPZoneMiddle, 4000, 8000, 600, 800, 800, 1200, "RADIO" )
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronCapInterval( "Sochi", 2, 30, 120, 1 )
  --  
  -- Note the different @{Zone} MOOSE classes being used to create zones of different types. Please click the @{Zone} link for more information about the different zone types.
  -- Zones can be circles, can be setup in the mission editor using trigger zones, but can also be setup in the mission editor as polygons and in this case GROUP objects are being used!
  -- 
  -- ## 7.2. Set the squadron to execute CAP:
  --      
  -- The method @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronCap}() defines a CAP execution for a squadron.
  -- 
  -- Setting-up a CAP zone also requires specific parameters:
  -- 
  --   * The minimum and maximum altitude
  --   * The minimum speed and maximum patrol speed
  --   * The minimum and maximum engage speed
  --   * The type of altitude measurement
  -- 
  -- These define how the squadron will perform the CAP while partrolling. Different terrain types requires different types of CAP. 
  -- 
  -- The @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronCapInterval}() method specifies **how much** and **when** CAP flights will takeoff.
  -- 
  -- It is recommended not to overload the air defense with CAP flights, as these will decrease the performance of the overall system. 
  -- 
  -- For example, the following setup will create a CAP for squadron "Sochi":
  -- 
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronCap( "Sochi", CAPZoneWest, 4000, 8000, 600, 800, 800, 1200, "BARO" )
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronCapInterval( "Sochi", 2, 30, 120, 1 )
  -- 
  -- ## 7.3. Squadron tanker to refuel when executing CAP and defender is out of fuel.
  -- 
  -- Instead of sending CAP to RTB when out of fuel, you can let CAP refuel in mid air using a tanker.
  -- This greatly increases the efficiency of your CAP operations.
  -- 
  -- In the mission editor, setup a group with task Refuelling. A tanker unit of the correct coalition will be automatically selected.
  -- Then, use the method @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetDefaultTanker}() to set the default tanker for the refuelling.
  -- You can also specify a specific tanker for refuelling for a squadron  by using the method @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronTanker}().
  -- 
  -- When the tanker specified is alive and in the air, the tanker will be used for refuelling.
  -- 
  -- For example, the following setup will create a CAP for squadron "Gelend" with a refuel task for the squadron:
  -- 
  -- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AI_A2A_DISPATCHER\AI_A2A_DISPATCHER-ME_10.JPG)
  -- 
  --      -- Define the CAP
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadron( "Gelend", AIRBASE.Caucasus.Gelendzhik, { "SQ CCCP SU-30" }, 20 )
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronCap( "Gelend", ZONE:New( "PatrolZoneGelend" ), 4000, 8000, 600, 800, 1000, 1300 )
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronCapInterval( "Gelend", 2, 30, 600, 1 ) 
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronGci( "Gelend", 900, 1200 )
  --    
  --      -- Setup the Refuelling for squadron "Gelend", at tanker (group) "TankerGelend" when the fuel in the tank of the CAP defenders is less than 80%.
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronFuelThreshold( "Gelend", 0.8 )
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronTanker( "Gelend", "TankerGelend" )
  --      
  -- ## 7.4 Set up race track pattern
  -- 
  -- By default, flights patrol randomly within the CAP zone. It is also possible to let them fly a race track pattern using the
  -- @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetDefaultCapRacetrack}(*LeglengthMin*, *LeglengthMax*, *HeadingMin*, *HeadingMax*, *DurationMin*, *DurationMax*) or 
  -- @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronCapRacetrack}(*SquadronName*, *LeglengthMin*, *LeglengthMax*, *HeadingMin*, *HeadingMax*, *DurationMin*, *DurationMax*) functions.
  -- The first function enables this for all squadrons, the latter only for specific squadrons. For example,
  -- 
  --      -- Enable race track pattern for CAP squadron "Mineralnye".
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronCapRacetrack("Mineralnye", 10000, 20000, 90, 180, 10*60, 20*60)
  --      
  -- In this case the squadron "Mineralnye" will a race track pattern at a random point in the CAP zone. The leg length will be randomly selected between 10,000 and 20,000 meters. The heading
  -- of the race track will randomly selected between 90 (West to East) and 180 (North to South) degrees.
  -- After a random duration between 10 and 20 minutes, the flight will get a new random orbit location.
  -- 
  -- Note that all parameters except the squadron name are optional. If not specified, default values are taken. Speed and altitude are taken from the 
  -- 
  -- Also note that the center of the race track pattern is chosen randomly within the patrol zone and can be close the the boarder of the zone. Hence, it cannot be guaranteed that the
  -- whole pattern lies within the patrol zone.
  --  
  -- ## 8. Setup a squadron for GCI:
  -- 
  -- The method @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronGci}() defines a GCI execution for a squadron.
  -- 
  -- Setting-up a GCI readiness also requires specific parameters:
  -- 
  --   * The minimum speed and maximum patrol speed
  -- 
  -- Essentially this controls how many flights of GCI aircraft can be active at any time.
  -- Note allowing large numbers of active GCI flights can adversely impact mission performance on low or medium specification hosts/servers.
  -- GCI needs to be setup at strategic airbases. Too far will mean that the aircraft need to fly a long way to reach the intruders, 
  -- too short will mean that the intruders may have alraedy passed the ideal interception point!
  -- 
  -- For example, the following setup will create a GCI for squadron "Sochi":
  -- 
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronGci( "Mozdok", 900, 1200 )
  -- 
  -- ## 9. Other configuration options
  -- 
  -- ### 9.1. Set a tactical display panel:
  -- 
  -- Every 30 seconds, a tactical display panel can be shown that illustrates what the status is of the different groups controlled by AI\_A2A\_DISPATCHER.
  -- Use the method @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetTacticalDisplay}() to switch on the tactical display panel. The default will not show this panel.
  -- Note that there may be some performance impact if this panel is shown.
  -- 
  -- ## 10. Defaults settings.
  -- 
  -- This provides a good overview of the different parameters that are setup or hardcoded by default.
  -- For some default settings, a method is available that allows you to tweak the defaults.
  -- 
  -- ## 10.1. Default takeoff method.
  -- 
  -- The default **takeoff method** is set to **in the air**, which means that new spawned airplanes will be spawned directly in the air above the airbase by default.
  -- 
  -- **The default takeoff method can be set for ALL squadrons that don't have an individual takeoff method configured.**
  -- 
  --   * @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetDefaultTakeoff}() is the generic configuration method to control takeoff by default from the air, hot, cold or from the runway. See the method for further details.
  --   * @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetDefaultTakeoffInAir}() will spawn by default new aircraft from the squadron directly in the air.
  --   * @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetDefaultTakeoffFromParkingCold}() will spawn by default new aircraft in without running engines at a parking spot at the airfield.
  --   * @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetDefaultTakeoffFromParkingHot}() will spawn by default new aircraft in with running engines at a parking spot at the airfield.
  --   * @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetDefaultTakeoffFromRunway}() will spawn by default new aircraft at the runway at the airfield.
  -- 
  -- ## 10.2. Default landing method.
  -- 
  -- The default **landing method** is set to **near the airbase**, which means that returning airplanes will be despawned directly in the air by default.
  -- 
  -- The default landing method can be set for ALL squadrons that don't have an individual landing method configured.
  -- 
  --   * @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetDefaultLanding}() is the generic configuration method to control by default landing, namely despawn the aircraft near the airfield in the air, right after landing, or at engine shutdown.
  --   * @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetDefaultLandingNearAirbase}() will despawn by default the returning aircraft in the air when near the airfield.
  --   * @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetDefaultLandingAtRunway}() will despawn by default the returning aircraft directly after landing at the runway.
  --   * @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetDefaultLandingAtEngineShutdown}() will despawn by default the returning aircraft when the aircraft has returned to its parking spot and has turned off its engines.
  -- 
  -- ## 10.3. Default overhead.
  -- 
  -- The default **overhead** is set to **1**. That essentially means that there isn't any overhead set by default.
  -- 
  -- The default overhead value can be set for ALL squadrons that don't have an individual overhead value configured.
  --
  -- Use the @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetDefaultOverhead}() method can be used to set the default overhead or defense strength for ALL squadrons.
  --
  -- ## 10.4. Default grouping.
  -- 
  -- The default **grouping** is set to **one airplane**. That essentially means that there won't be any grouping applied by default.
  -- 
  -- The default grouping value can be set for ALL squadrons that don't have an individual grouping value configured.
  -- 
  -- Use the method @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetDefaultGrouping}() to set the **default grouping** of spawned airplanes for all squadrons.
  -- 
  -- ## 10.5. Default RTB fuel treshold.
  -- 
  -- When an airplane gets **out of fuel** to a certain %-tage, which is **15% (0.15)**, it will go RTB, and will be replaced with a new airplane when applicable.
  -- 
  -- Use the method @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetDefaultFuelThreshold}() to set the **default fuel treshold** of spawned airplanes for all squadrons.
  -- 
  -- ## 10.6. Default RTB damage treshold.
  -- 
  -- When an airplane is **damaged** to a certain %-tage, which is **40% (0.40)**, it will go RTB, and will be replaced with a new airplane when applicable.
  -- 
  -- Use the method @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetDefaultDamageThreshold}() to set the **default damage treshold** of spawned airplanes for all squadrons.
  -- 
  -- ## 10.7. Default settings for CAP.
  -- 
  -- ### 10.7.1. Default CAP Time Interval.
  -- 
  -- CAP is time driven, and will evaluate in random time intervals if a new CAP needs to be spawned.
  -- The **default CAP time interval** is between **180** and **600** seconds.
  -- 
  -- Use the method @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetDefaultCapTimeInterval}() to set the **default CAP time interval** of spawned airplanes for all squadrons.  
  -- Note that you can still change the CAP limit and CAP time intervals for each CAP individually using the @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronCapTimeInterval}() method.
  -- 
  -- ### 10.7.2. Default CAP limit.
  -- 
  -- Multiple CAP can be airborne at the same time for one squadron, which is controlled by the **CAP limit**.
  -- The **default CAP limit** is 1 CAP per squadron to be airborne at the same time.
  -- Note that the default CAP limit is used when a Squadron CAP is defined, and cannot be changed afterwards.
  -- So, ensure that you set the default CAP limit **before** you spawn the Squadron CAP.
  -- 
  -- Use the method @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetDefaultCapTimeInterval}() to set the **default CAP time interval** of spawned airplanes for all squadrons.  
  -- Note that you can still change the CAP limit and CAP time intervals for each CAP individually using the @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronCapTimeInterval}() method.
  -- 
  -- ## 10.7.3. Default tanker for refuelling when executing CAP.
  -- 
  -- Instead of sending CAP to RTB when out of fuel, you can let CAP refuel in mid air using a tanker.
  -- This greatly increases the efficiency of your CAP operations.
  -- 
  -- In the mission editor, setup a group with task Refuelling. A tanker unit of the correct coalition will be automatically selected.
  -- Then, use the method @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetDefaultTanker}() to set the tanker for the dispatcher.
  -- Use the method @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetDefaultFuelThreshold}() to set the %-tage left in the defender airplane tanks when a refuel action is needed.
  -- 
  -- When the tanker specified is alive and in the air, the tanker will be used for refuelling.
  -- 
  -- For example, the following setup will set the default refuel tanker to "Tanker":
  -- 
  -- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AI_A2A_DISPATCHER\AI_A2A_DISPATCHER-ME_11.JPG)
  -- 
  --      -- Define the CAP
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadron( "Sochi", AIRBASE.Caucasus.Sochi_Adler, { "SQ CCCP SU-34" }, 20 )
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronCap( "Sochi", ZONE:New( "PatrolZone" ), 4000, 8000, 600, 800, 1000, 1300 )
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronCapInterval("Sochi", 2, 30, 600, 1 ) 
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronGci( "Sochi", 900, 1200 )
  --      
  --      -- Set the default tanker for refuelling to "Tanker", when the default fuel treshold has reached 90% fuel left.
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetDefaultFuelThreshold( 0.9 )
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetDefaultTanker( "Tanker" )
  --  
  -- ## 10.8. Default settings for GCI.
  -- 
  -- ## 10.8.1. Optimal intercept point calculation.
  -- 
  -- When intruders are detected, the intrusion path of the attackers can be monitored by the EWR.  
  -- Although defender planes might be on standby at the airbase, it can still take some time to get the defenses up in the air if there aren't any defenses airborne.
  -- This time can easily take 2 to 3 minutes, and even then the defenders still need to fly towards the target, which takes also time.
  -- 
  -- Therefore, an optimal **intercept point** is calculated which takes a couple of parameters:
  -- 
  --   * The average bearing of the intruders for an amount of seconds.
  --   * The average speed of the intruders for an amount of seconds.
  --   * An assumed time it takes to get planes operational at the airbase.
  -- 
  -- The **intercept point** will determine:
  -- 
  --   * If there are any friendlies close to engage the target. These can be defenders performing CAP or defenders in RTB.
  --   * The optimal airbase from where defenders will takeoff for GCI.
  -- 
  -- Use the method @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetIntercept}() to modify the assumed intercept delay time to calculate a valid interception.
  -- 
  -- ## 10.8.2. Default Disengage Radius.
  -- 
  -- The radius to **disengage any target** when the **distance** of the defender to the **home base** is larger than the specified meters.
  -- The default Disengage Radius is **300km** (300000 meters). Note that the Disengage Radius is applicable to ALL squadrons!
  --   
  -- Use the method @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetDisengageRadius}() to modify the default Disengage Radius to another distance setting.
  -- 
  -- ## 11. Airbase capture:
  -- 
  -- Different squadrons can be located at one airbase.
  -- If the airbase gets captured, that is, when there is an enemy unit near the airbase, and there aren't anymore friendlies at the airbase, the airbase will change coalition ownership.
  -- As a result, the GCI and CAP will stop!
  -- However, the squadron will still stay alive. Any airplane that is airborne will continue its operations until all airborne airplanes
  -- of the squadron will be destroyed. This to keep consistency of air operations not to confuse the players.
  -- 
  -- ## 12. Q & A:
  -- 
  -- ### 12.1. Which countries will be selected for each coalition?
  -- 
  -- Which countries are assigned to a coalition influences which units are available to the coalition. 
  -- For example because the mission calls for a EWR radar on the blue side the Ukraine might be chosen as a blue country 
  -- so that the 55G6 EWR radar unit is available to blue.  
  -- Some countries assign different tasking to aircraft, for example Germany assigns the CAP task to F-4E Phantoms but the USA does not.  
  -- Therefore if F4s are wanted as a coalition's CAP or GCI aircraft Germany will need to be assigned to that coalition. 
  -- 
  -- ### 12.2. Country, type, load out, skill and skins for CAP and GCI aircraft?
  -- 
  --   * Note these can be from any countries within the coalition but must be an aircraft with one of the main tasks being "CAP".
  --   * Obviously skins which are selected must be available to all players that join the mission otherwise they will see a default skin.
  --   * Load outs should be appropriate to a CAP mission eg perhaps drop tanks for CAP flights and extra missiles for GCI flights. 
  --   * These decisions will eventually lead to template aircraft units being placed as late activation units that the script will use as templates for spawning CAP and GCI flights. Up to 4 different aircraft configurations can be chosen for each coalition. The spawned aircraft will inherit the characteristics of the template aircraft.
  --   * The selected aircraft type must be able to perform the CAP tasking for the chosen country.

  --- This is the main method to define Squadrons programmatically.  
  -- Squadrons:
  -- 
  --   * Have a **name or key** that is the identifier or key of the squadron.
  --   * Have **specific plane types** defined by **templates**.
  --   * Are **located at one specific airbase**. Multiple squadrons can be located at one airbase through.
  --   * Optionally have a limited set of **resources**. The default is that squadrons have unlimited resources.
  -- 
  -- The name of the squadron given acts as the **squadron key** in the AI\_A2A\_DISPATCHER:Squadron...() methods.
  -- 
  -- Additionally, squadrons have specific configuration options to:
  -- 
  --   * Control how new aircraft are **taking off** from the airfield (in the air, cold, hot, at the runway).
  --   * Control how returning aircraft are **landing** at the airfield (in the air near the airbase, after landing, after engine shutdown).
  --   * Control the **grouping** of new aircraft spawned at the airfield. If there is more than one aircraft to be spawned, these may be grouped.
  --   * Control the **overhead** or defensive strength of the squadron. Depending on the types of planes and amount of resources, the mission designer can choose to increase or reduce the amount of planes spawned.
  --   
  -- For performance and bug workaround reasons within DCS, squadrons have different methods to spawn new aircraft or land returning or damaged aircraft.
  -- 
  -- @param #AI_A2A_DISPATCHER self
  -- 
  -- @param #string SquadronName A string (text) that defines the squadron identifier or the key of the Squadron. 
  -- It can be any name, for example `"104th Squadron"` or `"SQ SQUADRON1"`, whatever. 
  -- As long as you remember that this name becomes the identifier of your squadron you have defined. 
  -- You need to use this name in other methods too!
  -- 
  -- @param #string AirbaseName The airbase name where you want to have the squadron located. 
  -- You need to specify here EXACTLY the name of the airbase as you see it in the mission editor. 
  -- Examples are `"Batumi"` or `"Tbilisi-Lochini"`. 
  -- EXACTLY the airbase name, between quotes `""`.
  -- To ease the airbase naming when using the LDT editor and IntelliSense, the @{Wrapper.Airbase#AIRBASE} class contains enumerations of the airbases of each map.
  --    
  --    * Caucasus: @{Wrapper.Airbase#AIRBASE.Caucaus}
  --    * Nevada or NTTR: @{Wrapper.Airbase#AIRBASE.Nevada}
  --    * Normandy: @{Wrapper.Airbase#AIRBASE.Normandy}
  -- 
  -- @param #string TemplatePrefixes A string or an array of strings specifying the **prefix names of the templates** (not going to explain what is templates here again). 
  -- Examples are `{ "104th", "105th" }` or `"104th"` or `"Template 1"` or `"BLUE PLANES"`. 
  -- Just remember that your template (groups late activated) need to start with the prefix you have specified in your code.
  -- If you have only one prefix name for a squadron, you don't need to use the `{ }`, otherwise you need to use the brackets.
  -- 
  -- @param #number ResourceCount (optional) A number that specifies how many resources are in stock of the squadron. If not specified, the squadron will have infinite resources available.

  -- 
  -- AI\_A2A\_GCICAP includes automatic spawning of Combat Air Patrol aircraft (CAP) and Ground Controlled Intercept aircraft (GCI) in response to enemy 
  -- air movements that are detected by an airborne or ground based radar network. 
  -- 
  -- With a little time and with a little work it provides the mission designer with a convincing and completely automatic air defence system.
  -- 
  -- The AI_A2A_GCICAP provides a lightweight configuration method using the mission editor. Within a very short time, and with very little coding, 
  -- the mission designer is able to configure a complete A2A defense system for a coalition using the DCS Mission Editor available functions. 
  -- Using the DCS Mission Editor, you define borders of the coalition which are guarded by GCICAP, 
  -- configure airbases to belong to the coalition, define squadrons flying certain types of planes or payloads per airbase, and define CAP zones.
  -- **Very little lua needs to be applied, a one liner**, which is fully explained below, which can be embedded 
  -- right in a DO SCRIPT trigger action or in a larger DO SCRIPT FILE trigger action. 
  -- 
  -- CAP flights will take off and proceed to designated CAP zones where they will remain on station until the ground radars direct them to intercept 
  -- detected enemy aircraft or they run short of fuel and must return to base (RTB). 
  -- 
  -- When a CAP flight leaves their zone to perform a GCI or return to base a new CAP flight will spawn to take its place.
  -- If all CAP flights are engaged or RTB then additional GCI interceptors will scramble to intercept unengaged enemy aircraft under ground radar control.
  -- 
  -- In short it is a plug in very flexible and configurable air defence module for DCS World.
  -- 
  -- ===
  -- 
  -- # The following actions need to be followed when using AI\_A2A\_GCICAP in your mission:
  -- 
  -- ## 1) Configure a working AI\_A2A\_GCICAP defense system for ONE coalition. 
  --   
  -- ### 1.1) Define which airbases are for which coalition. 
  -- 
  -- ![Mission Editor Action](..\Presentations\AI_A2A_DISPATCHER\AI_A2A_GCICAP-ME_1.JPG)
  -- 
  -- Color the airbases red or blue. You can do this by selecting the airbase on the map, and select the coalition blue or red.
  -- 
  -- ### 1.2) Place groups of units given a name starting with a **EWR prefix** of your choice to build your EWR network. 
  -- 
  -- ![Mission Editor Action](..\Presentations\AI_A2A_DISPATCHER\AI_A2A_GCICAP-ME_2.JPG)
  --       
  -- **All EWR groups starting with the EWR prefix (text) will be included in the detection system.**  
  -- 
  -- An EWR network, or, Early Warning Radar network, is used to early detect potential airborne targets and to understand the position of patrolling targets of the enemy.
  -- Typically EWR networks are setup using 55G6 EWR, 1L13 EWR, Hawk sr and Patriot str ground based radar units. 
  -- These radars have different ranges and 55G6 EWR and 1L13 EWR radars are Eastern Bloc units (eg Russia, Ukraine, Georgia) while the Hawk and Patriot radars are Western (eg US).
  -- Additionally, ANY other radar capable unit can be part of the EWR network! 
  -- Also AWACS airborne units, planes, helicopters can help to detect targets, as long as they have radar.
  -- The position of these units is very important as they need to provide enough coverage 
  -- to pick up enemy aircraft as they approach so that CAP and GCI flights can be tasked to intercept them.
  -- 
  -- Additionally in a hot war situation where the border is no longer respected the placement of radars has a big effect on how fast the war escalates. 
  -- For example if they are a long way forward and can detect enemy planes on the ground and taking off 
  -- they will start to vector CAP and GCI flights to attack them straight away which will immediately draw a response from the other coalition. 
  -- Having the radars further back will mean a slower escalation because fewer targets will be detected and 
  -- therefore less CAP and GCI flights will spawn and this will tend to make just the border area active rather than a melee over the whole map. 
  -- It all depends on what the desired effect is. 
  -- 
  -- EWR networks are **dynamically maintained**. By defining in a **smart way the names or name prefixes of the groups** with EWR capable units, these groups will be **automatically added or deleted** from the EWR network, 
  -- increasing or decreasing the radar coverage of the Early Warning System.
  -- 
  -- ### 1.3) Place Airplane or Helicopter Groups with late activation switched on above the airbases to define Squadrons. 
  -- 
  -- ![Mission Editor Action](..\Presentations\AI_A2A_DISPATCHER\AI_A2A_GCICAP-ME_3.JPG)
  -- 
  -- These are **templates**, with a given name starting with a **Template prefix** above each airbase that you wanna have a squadron. 
  -- These **templates** need to be within 1.5km from the airbase center. They don't need to have a slot at the airplane, they can just be positioned above the airbase, 
  -- without a route, and should only have ONE unit.
  -- 
  -- ![Mission Editor Action](..\Presentations\AI_A2A_DISPATCHER\AI_A2A_GCICAP-ME_4.JPG)
  -- 
  -- **All airplane or helicopter groups that are starting with any of the choosen Template Prefixes will result in a squadron created at the airbase.**  
  -- 
  -- ### 1.4) Place floating helicopters to create the CAP zones defined by its route points. 
  -- 
  -- ![Mission Editor Action](..\Presentations\AI_A2A_DISPATCHER\AI_A2A_GCICAP-ME_5.JPG)
  -- 
  -- **All airplane or helicopter groups that are starting with any of the choosen Template Prefixes will result in a squadron created at the airbase.**  
  -- 
  -- The helicopter indicates the start of the CAP zone. 
  -- The route points define the form of the CAP zone polygon. 
  -- 
  -- ![Mission Editor Action](..\Presentations\AI_A2A_DISPATCHER\AI_A2A_GCICAP-ME_6.JPG)
  -- 
  -- **The place of the helicopter is important, as the airbase closest to the helicopter will be the airbase from where the CAP planes will take off for CAP.**
  -- 
  -- ## 2) There are a lot of defaults set, which can be further modified using the methods in @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER}:
  -- 
  -- ### 2.1) Planes are taking off in the air from the airbases.
  -- 
  -- This prevents airbases to get cluttered with airplanes taking off, it also reduces the risk of human players colliding with taxiiing airplanes,
  -- resulting in the airbase to halt operations.
  -- 
  -- You can change the way how planes take off by using the inherited methods from AI\_A2A\_DISPATCHER:
  -- 
  --   * @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronTakeoff}() is the generic configuration method to control takeoff from the air, hot, cold or from the runway. See the method for further details.
  --   * @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronTakeoffInAir}() will spawn new aircraft from the squadron directly in the air.
  --   * @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronTakeoffFromParkingCold}() will spawn new aircraft in without running engines at a parking spot at the airfield.
  --   * @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronTakeoffFromParkingHot}() will spawn new aircraft in with running engines at a parking spot at the airfield.
  --   * @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronTakeoffFromRunway}() will spawn new aircraft at the runway at the airfield.
  -- 
  -- Use these methods to fine-tune for specific airfields that are known to create bottlenecks, or have reduced airbase efficiency.
  -- The more and the longer aircraft need to taxi at an airfield, the more risk there is that:
  -- 
  --   * aircraft will stop waiting for each other or for a landing aircraft before takeoff.
  --   * aircraft may get into a "dead-lock" situation, where two aircraft are blocking each other.
  --   * aircraft may collide at the airbase.
  --   * aircraft may be awaiting the landing of a plane currently in the air, but never lands ...
  --   
  -- Currently within the DCS engine, the airfield traffic coordination is erroneous and contains a lot of bugs.
  -- If you experience while testing problems with aircraft take-off or landing, please use one of the above methods as a solution to workaround these issues!
  -- 
  -- ### 2.2) Planes return near the airbase or will land if damaged.
  -- 
  -- When damaged airplanes return to the airbase, they will be routed and will dissapear in the air when they are near the airbase.
  -- There are exceptions to this rule, airplanes that aren't "listening" anymore due to damage or out of fuel, will return to the airbase and land.
  -- 
  -- You can change the way how planes land by using the inherited methods from AI\_A2A\_DISPATCHER:
  -- 
  --   * @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronLanding}() is the generic configuration method to control landing, namely despawn the aircraft near the airfield in the air, right after landing, or at engine shutdown.
  --   * @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronLandingNearAirbase}() will despawn the returning aircraft in the air when near the airfield.
  --   * @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronLandingAtRunway}() will despawn the returning aircraft directly after landing at the runway.
  --   * @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronLandingAtEngineShutdown}() will despawn the returning aircraft when the aircraft has returned to its parking spot and has turned off its engines.
  -- 
  -- You can use these methods to minimize the airbase coodination overhead and to increase the airbase efficiency.
  -- When there are lots of aircraft returning for landing, at the same airbase, the takeoff process will be halted, which can cause a complete failure of the
  -- A2A defense system, as no new CAP or GCI planes can takeoff.
  -- Note that the method @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronLandingNearAirbase}() will only work for returning aircraft, not for damaged or out of fuel aircraft.
  -- Damaged or out-of-fuel aircraft are returning to the nearest friendly airbase and will land, and are out of control from ground control.
  -- 
  -- ### 2.3) CAP operations setup for specific airbases, will be executed with the following parameters: 
  -- 
  --   * The altitude will range between 6000 and 10000 meters. 
  --   * The CAP speed will vary between 500 and 800 km/h. 
  --   * The engage speed between 800 and 1200 km/h.
  --   
  -- You can change or add a CAP zone by using the inherited methods from AI\_A2A\_DISPATCHER:
  -- 
  -- The method @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronCap}() defines a CAP execution for a squadron.
  -- 
  -- Setting-up a CAP zone also requires specific parameters:
  -- 
  --   * The minimum and maximum altitude
  --   * The minimum speed and maximum patrol speed
  --   * The minimum and maximum engage speed
  --   * The type of altitude measurement
  -- 
  -- These define how the squadron will perform the CAP while partrolling. Different terrain types requires different types of CAP. 
  -- 
  -- The @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronCapInterval}() method specifies **how much** and **when** CAP flights will takeoff.
  -- 
  -- It is recommended not to overload the air defense with CAP flights, as these will decrease the performance of the overall system. 
  -- 
  -- For example, the following setup will create a CAP for squadron "Sochi":
  -- 
  --    A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronCap( "Sochi", CAPZoneWest, 4000, 8000, 600, 800, 800, 1200, "BARO" )
  --    A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronCapInterval( "Sochi", 2, 30, 120, 1 )
  -- 
  -- ### 2.4) Each airbase will perform GCI when required, with the following parameters:
  -- 
  --   * The engage speed is between 800 and 1200 km/h.
  -- 
  -- You can change or add a GCI parameters by using the inherited methods from AI\_A2A\_DISPATCHER:
  -- 
  -- The method @{#AI_A2A_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronGci}() defines a GCI execution for a squadron.
  -- 
  -- Setting-up a GCI readiness also requires specific parameters:
  -- 
  --   * The minimum speed and maximum patrol speed
  -- 
  -- Essentially this controls how many flights of GCI aircraft can be active at any time.
  -- Note allowing large numbers of active GCI flights can adversely impact mission performance on low or medium specification hosts/servers.
  -- GCI needs to be setup at strategic airbases. Too far will mean that the aircraft need to fly a long way to reach the intruders, 
  -- too short will mean that the intruders may have alraedy passed the ideal interception point!
  -- 
  -- For example, the following setup will create a GCI for squadron "Sochi":
  -- 
  --    A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronGci( "Mozdok", 900, 1200 )
  -- 
  -- ### 2.5) Grouping or detected targets.
  -- 
  -- Detected targets are constantly re-grouped, that is, when certain detected aircraft are moving further than the group radius, then these aircraft will become a separate
  -- group being detected.
  -- 
  -- Targets will be grouped within a radius of 30km by default.
  -- 
  -- The radius indicates that detected targets need to be grouped within a radius of 30km.
  -- The grouping radius should not be too small, but also depends on the types of planes and the era of the simulation.
  -- Fast planes like in the 80s, need a larger radius than WWII planes.  
  -- Typically I suggest to use 30000 for new generation planes and 10000 for older era aircraft.
  -- 
  -- ## 3) Additional notes:
  -- 
  -- In order to create a two way A2A defense system, **two AI\_A2A\_GCICAP defense systems must need to be created**, for each coalition one.
  -- Each defense system needs its own EWR network setup, airplane templates and CAP configurations.
  -- 
  -- This is a good implementation, because maybe in the future, more coalitions may become available in DCS world.
  -- 
  -- ## 4) Coding examples how to use the AI\_A2A\_GCICAP class:
  -- 
  -- ### 4.1) An easy setup:
  -- 
  --      -- Setup the AI_A2A_GCICAP dispatcher for one coalition, and initialize it.
  --      GCI_Red = AI_A2A_GCICAP:New( "EWR CCCP", "SQUADRON CCCP", "CAP CCCP", 2 )
  --   -- 
  -- The following parameters were given to the :New method of AI_A2A_GCICAP, and mean the following:
  -- 
  --    * `"EWR CCCP"`: Groups of the blue coalition are placed that define the EWR network. These groups start with the name `EWR CCCP`.
  --    * `"SQUADRON CCCP"`: Late activated Groups objects of the red coalition are placed above the relevant airbases that will contain these templates in the squadron.
  --      These late activated Groups start with the name `SQUADRON CCCP`. Each Group object contains only one Unit, and defines the weapon payload, skin and skill level.
  --    * `"CAP CCCP"`: CAP Zones are defined using floating, late activated Helicopter Group objects, where the route points define the route of the polygon of the CAP Zone.
  --      These Helicopter Group objects start with the name `CAP CCCP`, and will be the locations wherein CAP will be performed.
  --    * `2` Defines how many CAP airplanes are patrolling in each CAP zone defined simulateneously.  
  -- 
  -- 
  -- ### 4.2) A more advanced setup:
  -- 
  --      -- Setup the AI_A2A_GCICAP dispatcher for the blue coalition.
  -- 
  --      A2A_GCICAP_Blue = AI_A2A_GCICAP:New( { "BLUE EWR" }, { "104th", "105th", "106th" }, { "104th CAP" }, 4 ) 
  -- 
  -- The following parameters for the :New method have the following meaning:
  -- 
  --    * `{ "BLUE EWR" }`: An array of the group name prefixes of the groups of the blue coalition are placed that define the EWR network. These groups start with the name `BLUE EWR`.
  --    * `{ "104th", "105th", "106th" } `: An array of the group name prefixes of the Late activated Groups objects of the blue coalition are 
  --      placed above the relevant airbases that will contain these templates in the squadron.
  --      These late activated Groups start with the name `104th` or `105th` or `106th`. 
  --    * `{ "104th CAP" }`: An array of the names of the CAP zones are defined using floating, late activated helicopter group objects, 
  --      where the route points define the route of the polygon of the CAP Zone.
  --      These Helicopter Group objects start with the name `104th CAP`, and will be the locations wherein CAP will be performed.
  --    * `4` Defines how many CAP airplanes are patrolling in each CAP zone defined simulateneously.

-- 
-- # QUICK START GUIDE
-- 
-- The following class is available to model an A2G defense system.
-- 
-- AI_A2G_DISPATCHER is the main A2G defense class that models the A2G defense system.
-- 
-- Before you start using the AI_A2G_DISPATCHER, ask youself the following questions.
-- 
-- 
-- ## 1. Which coalition am I modeling an A2G defense system for? blue or red?
-- 
-- One AI_A2G_DISPATCHER object can create a defense system for **one coalition**, which is blue or red.
-- If you want to create a **mutual defense system**, for both blue and red, then you need to create **two** AI_A2G_DISPATCHER **objects**,
-- each governing their defense system for one coalition.
-- 
--      
-- ## 2. Which type of detection will I setup? Grouping based per AREA, per TYPE or per UNIT? (Later others will follow).
-- 
-- The MOOSE framework leverages the @{Functional.Detection} classes to perform the reconnaissance, detecting enemy units 
-- and reporting them to the head quarters.
-- Several types of @{Functional.Detection} classes exist, and the most common characteristics of these classes is that they:
-- 
--    * Perform detections from multiple recce as one co-operating entity.
--    * Communicate with a @{Tasking.CommandCenter}, which consolidates each detection.
--    * Groups detections based on a method (per area, per type or per unit).
--    * Communicates detections.
-- 
-- 
-- ## 3. Which recce units can be used as part of the detection system? Only ground based, or also airborne?
-- 
-- Depending on the type of mission you want to achieve, different types of units can be engaged to perform ground enemy targets reconnaissance.
-- Ground recce (FAC) are very useful units to determine the position of enemy ground targets when they spread out over the battlefield at strategic positions.
-- Using their varying detection technology, and especially those ground units which have spotting technology, can be extremely effective at
-- detecting targets at great range. The terrain elevation characteristics are a big tool in making ground recce to be more effective.
-- Unfortunately, they lack sometimes the visibility to detect targets at greater range, or when scenery is preventing line of sight.
-- If you succeed to position recce at higher level terrain providing a broad and far overview of the lower terrain in the distance, then
-- the recce will be very effective at detecting approaching enemy targets. Therefore, always use the terrain very carefully!
-- 
-- Airborne recce (AFAC) are also very effective. The are capable of patrolling at a functional detection altitude,
-- having an overview of the whole battlefield. However, airborne recce can be vulnerable to air to ground attacks, 
-- so you need air superiority to make them effective. 
-- Airborne recce will also have varying ground detection technology, which plays a big role in the effectiveness of the reconnaissance.
-- Certain helicopter or plane types have ground searching radars or advanced ground scanning technology, and are very effective 
-- compared to air units having only visual detection capabilities.
-- For example, for the red coalition, the Mi-28N and the Su-34; and for the blue side, the reaper, are such effective airborne recce units.
-- 
-- Typically, don't want these recce units to engage with the enemy, you want to keep them at position. Therefore, it is a good practice
-- to set the ROE for these recce to hold weapons, and make them invisible from the enemy.
-- 
-- It is not possible to perform a recce function as a player (unit).
-- 
-- 
-- ## 4. How do the defenses decide **when and where to engage** on approaching enemy units?
-- 
-- The A2G dispacher needs you to setup (various) defense coordinates, which are strategic positions in the battle field to be defended. 
-- Any ground based enemy approaching within the proximity of such a defense point, may trigger for a defensive action by friendly air units.
-- 
-- There are 2 important parameters that play a role in the defensive decision making: defensiveness and reactivity.
-- 
-- The A2G dispatcher provides various parameters to setup the **defensiveness**, 
-- which models the decision **when** a defender will engage with the approaching enemy.
-- Defensiveness is calculated by a probability distribution model when to trigger a defense action, 
-- depending on the distance of the enemy unit from the defense coordinates, and a **defensiveness factor**. 
-- 
-- The other parameter considered for defensive action is **where the enemy is located**, thus the distance from a defense coordinate, 
-- which we call the **reactive distance**. By default, the reactive distance is set to 60km, but can be changed by the mission designer
-- using the available method explained further below.
-- The combination of the defensiveness and reactivity results in a model that, the closer the attacker is to the defense point, 
-- the higher the probability will be that a defense action will be launched!
-- 
-- 
-- ## 5. Are defense coordinates and defense reactivity the only parameters?
-- 
-- No, depending on the target type, and the threat level of the target, the probability of defense will be higher.
-- In other words, when a SAM-10 radar emitter is detected, its probabilty for defense will be much higher than when a BMP-1 vehicle is
-- detected, even when both enemies are at the same distance from a defense coordinate.
-- This will ensure optimal defenses, SEAD tasks will be launched much more quicker against engaging radar emitters, to ensure air superiority.
-- Approaching main battle tanks will be engaged much faster, than a group of approaching trucks.
-- 
-- 
-- ## 6. Which Squadrons will I create and which name will I give each Squadron?
-- 
-- The A2G defense system works with **Squadrons**. Each Squadron must be given a unique name, that forms the **key** to the squadron.
-- Several options and activities can be set per Squadron. A free format name can be given, but always ensure that the name is meaningfull 
-- for your mission, and remember that squadron names are used for communication to the players of your mission.
-- 
-- There are mainly 3 types of defenses: **SEAD**, **CAS** and **BAI**.
-- 
-- Suppression of Air Defenses (SEAD) are effective agains radar emitters. Close Air Support (CAS) is launched when the enemy is close near friendly units.
-- Battleground Air Interdiction (BAI) tasks are launched when there are no friendlies around.
-- 
-- Depending on the defense type, different payloads will be needed. See further points on squadron definition.
-- 
-- 
-- ## 7. Where will the Squadrons be located? On Airbases? On Carrier Ships? On Farps?
-- 
-- Squadrons are placed at the **home base** on an **airfield**, **carrier** or **farp**.
-- Carefully plan where each Squadron will be located as part of the defense system required for mission effective defenses.
-- If the home base of the squadron is too far from assumed enemy positions, then the defenses will be too late.
-- The home bases must be **behind** enemy lines, you want to prevent your home bases to be engaged by enemies!
-- Depending on the units applied for defenses, the home base can be further or closer to the enemies.
-- Any airbase, farp or carrier can act as the launching platform for A2G defenses.
-- Carefully plan which airbases will take part in the coalition. Color each airbase **in the color of the coalition**, using the mission editor,
-- or your air units will not return for landing at the airbase!
-- 
-- 
-- ## 8. Which helicopter or plane models will I assign for each Squadron? Do I need one plane model or more plane models per squadron?
-- 
-- Per Squadron, one or multiple helicopter or plane models can be allocated as **Templates**.
-- These are late activated groups with one airplane or helicopter that start with a specific name, called the **template prefix**.
-- The A2G defense system will select from the given templates a random template to spawn a new plane (group).
-- 
-- A squadron will perform specific task types (SEAD, CAS or BAI). So, squadrons will require specific templates for the
-- task types it will perform. A squadron executing SEAD defenses, will require a payload with long range anti-radar seeking missiles.
--  
--  
-- ## 9. Which payloads, skills and skins will these plane models have?
-- 
-- Per Squadron, even if you have one plane model, you can still allocate multiple templates of one plane model, 
-- each having different payloads, skills and skins. 
-- The A2G defense system will select from the given templates a random template to spawn a new plane (group).
-- 
-- 
-- ## 10. How to squadrons engage in a defensive action?
-- 
-- There are two ways how squadrons engage and execute your A2G defenses. 
-- Squadrons can start the defense directly from the airbase, farp or carrier. When a squadron launches a defensive group, that group
-- will start directly from the airbase. The other way is to launch early on in the mission a patrolling mechanism.
-- Squadrons will launch air units to patrol in specific zone(s), so that when ground enemy targets are detected, that the airborne
-- A2G defenses can come immediately into action.
-- 
-- 
-- ## 11. For each Squadron doing a patrol, which zone types will I create?
-- 
-- Per zone, evaluate whether you want:
-- 
--    * simple trigger zones
--    * polygon zones
--    * moving zones
-- 
-- Depending on the type of zone selected, a different @{Zone} object needs to be created from a ZONE_ class.
-- 
-- 
-- ## 12. Are moving defense coordinates possible?
-- 
-- Yes, different COORDINATE types are possible to be used.
-- The COORDINATE_UNIT will help you to specify a defense coodinate that is attached to a moving unit.
-- 
-- 
-- ## 13. How much defense coordinates do I need to create?
-- 
-- It depends, but the idea is to define only the necessary defense points that drive your mission.
-- If you define too much defense points, the performance of your mission may decrease. Per defense point defined,
-- all the possible enemies are evaluated. Note that each defense coordinate has a reach depending on the size of the defense radius.
-- The default defense radius is about 60km, and depending on the defense reactivity, defenses will be launched when the enemy is at
-- close or greater distance from the defense coordinate.
-- 
-- 
-- ## 14. For each Squadron doing patrols, what are the time intervals and patrol amounts to be performed?
-- 
-- For each patrol:
-- 
--    * **How many** patrol you want to have airborne at the same time?
--    * **How frequent** you want the defense mechanism to check whether to start a new patrol?
-- 
-- other considerations:   
-- 
--    * **How far** is the patrol area from the engagement "hot zone". You want to ensure that the enemy is reached on time!
--    * **How safe** is the patrol area taking into account air superiority. Is it well defended, are there nearby A2A bases?
-- 
-- 
-- ## 15. For each Squadron, which takeoff method will I use?
-- 
-- For each Squadron, evaluate which takeoff method will be used:
-- 
--    * Straight from the air
--    * From the runway
--    * From a parking spot with running engines
--    * From a parking spot with cold engines
-- 
-- **The default takeoff method is staight in the air.**
-- This takeoff method is the most useful if you want to avoid airplane clutter at airbases!
-- But it is the least realistic one!
-- 
-- 
-- ## 16. For each Squadron, which landing method will I use?
-- 
-- For each Squadron, evaluate which landing method will be used:
-- 
--    * Despawn near the airbase when returning
--    * Despawn after landing on the runway
--    * Despawn after engine shutdown after landing
--    
-- **The default landing method is despawn when near the airbase when returning.**
-- This landing method is the most useful if you want to avoid airplane clutter at airbases!
-- But it is the least realistic one!
-- 
-- 
-- ## 19. For each Squadron, which **defense overhead** will I use?
-- 
-- For each Squadron, depending on the helicopter or airplane type (modern, old) and payload, which overhead is required to provide any defense?
-- 
-- In other words, if **X** enemy ground units are detected, how many **Y** defense helicpters or airplanes need to engage (per squadron)?
-- The **Y** is dependent on the type of airplane (era), payload, fuel levels, skills etc.
-- But the most important factor is the payload, which is the amount of A2G weapons the defense can carry to attack the enemy ground units.
-- For example, a Ka-50 can carry 16 vikrs, that means, that it potentially can destroy at least 8 ground units without a reload of ammunication.
-- That means, that one defender can destroy more enemy ground units. 
-- Thus, the overhead is a **factor** that will calculate dynamically how many **Y** defenses will be required based on **X** attackers detected.
-- 
-- **The default overhead is 1. A smaller value than 1, like 0.25 will decrease the overhead to a 1 / 4 ratio, meaning, 
-- one defender for each 4 detected ground enemy units. **
-- 
-- 
-- ## 19. For each Squadron, which grouping will I use?
-- 
-- When multiple targets are detected, how will defenses be grouped when multiple defense air units are spawned for multiple enemy ground units?
-- Per one, two, three, four?
-- 
-- **The default grouping is 1. That means, that each spawned defender will act individually.**
-- But you can specify a number between 1 and 4, so that the defenders will act as a group.

  --- Create an automated A2G defense system based on a detection network of reconnaissance vehicles and air units, coordinating SEAD, BAI and CAP operations.
  -- 
  -- ===
  -- 
  -- When your mission is in the need to take control of the AI to automate and setup a process of air to ground defenses, this is the module you need.
  -- The defense system work through the definition of defense coordinates, which are points in your friendly area within the battle field, that your mission need to have defended.
  -- Multiple defense coordinates can be setup. Defense coordinates can be strategic or tactical positions or references to strategic units or scenery.
  -- The A2G dispatcher will evaluate every x seconds the tactical situation around each defense coordinate. When a defense coordinate
  -- is under threat, it will communicate through the command center that defensive actions need to be taken and will launch groups of air units for defense.
  -- The level of threat to the defense coordinate varyies upon the strength and types of the enemy units, the distance to the defense point, and the defensiveness parameters.
  -- Defensive actions are taken through probability, but the closer and the more threat the enemy poses to the defense coordinate, the faster it will be attacked by friendly A2G units.
  -- 
  -- Please study carefully the underlying explanations how to setup and use this module, as it has many features.
  -- It also requires a little study to ensure that you get a good understanding of the defense mechanisms, to ensure a strong

  -- # USAGE GUIDE
  -- 
  -- ## 1. AI\_A2G\_DISPATCHER constructor:
  -- 
  -- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AI_A2G_DISPATCHER\AI_A2G_DISPATCHER-ME_1.JPG)
  -- 
  -- 
  -- The @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.New}() method creates a new AI_A2G_DISPATCHER instance.
  -- 
  -- ### 1.1. Define the **reconnaissance network**:
  -- 
  -- As part of the AI_A2G_DISPATCHER :New() constructor, a reconnaissance network must be given as the first parameter.
  -- A reconnaissance network is provided by passing a @{Functional.Detection} object.
  -- The most effective reconnaissance for the A2G dispatcher would be to use the @{Functional.Detection#DETECTION_AREAS} object.
  -- 
  -- A reconnaissance network, is used to detect enemy ground targets, 
  -- potentially group them into areas, and to understand the position, level of threat of the enemy.
  -- 
  -- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AI_A2G_DISPATCHER\Dia5.JPG)
  -- 
  -- As explained in the introduction, depending on the type of mission you want to achieve, different types of units can be applied to detect ground enemy targets.
  -- Ground based units are very useful to act as a reconnaissance, but they lack sometimes the visibility to detect targets at greater range.
  -- Recce are very useful to acquire the position of enemy ground targets when spread out over the battlefield at strategic positions.
  -- Ground units also have varying detectors, and especially the ground units which have laser guiding missiles can be extremely effective at
  -- detecting targets at great range. The terrain elevation characteristics are a big tool in making ground recce to be more effective.
  -- If you succeed to position recce at higher level terrain providing a broad and far overview of the lower terrain in the distance, then
  -- the recce will be very effective at detecting approaching enemy targets. Therefore, always use the terrain very carefully!
  -- 
  -- Beside ground level units to use for reconnaissance, air units are also very effective. The are capable of patrolling at great speed
  -- covering a large terrain. However, airborne recce can be vulnerable to air to ground attacks, and you need air superiority to make then
  -- effective. Also the instruments available at the air units play a big role in the effectiveness of the reconnaissance.
  -- Air units which have ground detection capabilities will be much more effective than air units with only visual detection capabilities.
  -- For the red coalition, the Mi-28N and for the blue side, the reaper are such effective reconnaissance airborne units.
  -- 
  -- Reconnaissance networks are **dynamically constructed**, that is, they form part of the @{Functional.Detection} instance that is given as the first parameter to the A2G dispatcher.
  -- By defining in a **smart way the names or name prefixes of the reconnaissance groups**, these groups will be **automatically added or removed** to or from the reconnaissance network, 
  -- when these groups are spawned in or destroyed during the ongoing battle. 
  -- By spawning in dynamically additional recce, you can ensure that there is sufficient reconnaissance coverage so the defense mechanism is continuously
  -- alerted of new enemy ground targets.
  -- 
  -- The following example defens a new reconnaissance network using a @{Functional.Detection#DETECTION_AREAS} object.
  -- 
  --        -- Define a SET_GROUP object that builds a collection of groups that define the recce network.
  --        -- Here we build the network with all the groups that have a name starting with CCCP Recce.
  --        DetectionSetGroup = SET_GROUP:New() -- Defene a set of group objects, caled DetectionSetGroup.
  --        
  --        DetectionSetGroup:FilterPrefixes( { "CCCP Recce" } ) -- The DetectionSetGroup will search for groups that start with the name "CCCP Recce".
  --        
  --        -- This command will start the dynamic filtering, so when groups spawn in or are destroyed, 
  --        -- which have a group name starting with "CCCP Recce", then these will be automatically added or removed from the set.
  --        DetectionSetGroup:FilterStart() 
  --        
  --        -- This command defines the reconnaissance network.
  --        -- It will group any detected ground enemy targets within a radius of 1km.
  --        -- It uses the DetectionSetGroup, which defines the set of reconnaissance groups to detect for enemy ground targets.
  --        Detection = DETECTION_AREAS:New( DetectionSetGroup, 1000 )
  -- 
  --        -- Setup the A2A dispatcher, and initialize it.
  --        A2GDispatcher = AI_A2G_DISPATCHER:New( Detection )
  --        
  --        
  -- The above example creates a SET_GROUP instance, and stores this in the variable (object) **DetectionSetGroup**.
  -- **DetectionSetGroup** is then being configured to filter all active groups with a group name starting with `"CCCP Recce"` to be included in the set.
  -- **DetectionSetGroup** is then calling `FilterStart()`, which is starting the dynamic filtering or inclusion of these groups. 
  -- Note that any destroy or new spawn of a group having a name, starting with the above prefix, will be removed or added to the set.
  -- 
  -- Then a new detection object is created from the class `DETECTION_AREAS`. A grouping radius of 1000 meters (1km) is choosen.
  -- 
  -- The `Detection` object is then passed to the @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.New}() method to indicate the reconnaissance network 
  -- configuration and setup the A2G defense detection mechanism.
  -- 
  -- ### 1.2. Setup the A2G dispatcher for both a red and blue coalition.
  -- 
  -- Following the above described procedure, you'll need to create for each coalition an separate detection network, and a separate A2G dispatcher.
  -- Ensure that while doing so, that you name the objects differently both for red and blue coalition.
  -- 
  -- For example like this for the red coalition:
  -- 
  --        DetectionRed = DETECTION_AREAS:New( DetectionSetGroupRed, 1000 )
  --        A2GDispatcherRed = AI_A2G_DISPATCHER:New( DetectionRed )
  --        
  -- And for the blue coalition:
  -- 
  --        DetectionBlue = DETECTION_AREAS:New( DetectionSetGroupBlue, 1000 )
  --        A2GDispatcherBlue = AI_A2G_DISPATCHER:New( DetectionBlue )
  -- 
  -- 
  -- Note: Also the SET_GROUP objects should be created for each coalition separately, containing each red and blue recce respectively!
  -- 
  -- ### 1.3. Define the enemy ground target **grouping radius**, in case you use DETECTION_AREAS:
  -- 
  -- The target grouping radius is a property of the DETECTION_AREAS class, that was passed to the AI_A2G_DISPATCHER:New() method, 
  -- but can be changed. The grouping radius should not be too small, but also depends on the types of ground forces and the way you want your mission to evolve.
  -- A large radius will mean large groups of enemy ground targets, while making smaller groups will result in a more fragmented defense system.
  -- Typically I suggest a grouping radius of 1km. This is the right balance to create efficient defenses.
  -- 
  -- Note that detected targets are constantly re-grouped, that is, when certain detected enemy ground units are moving further than the group radius, 
  -- then these units will become a separate area being detected. This may result in additional defenses being started by the dispatcher! 
  -- So don't make this value too small! Again, I advise about 1km or 1000 meters.
  -- 
  -- ## 2. Setup (a) **Defense Coordinate(s)**.
  -- 
  -- As explained above, defense coordinates are the center of your defense operations.
  -- The more threat to the defense coordinate, the higher it is likely a defensive action will be launched.
  -- 
  -- Find below an example how to add defense coordinates:
  -- 
  --        -- Add defense coordinates.
  --        A2GDispatcher:AddDefenseCoordinate( "HQ", GROUP:FindByName( "HQ" ):GetCoordinate() )
  -- 
  -- In this example, the coordinate of a group called `"HQ"` is retrieved, using `:GetCoordinate()`
  -- This returns a COORDINATE object, pointing to the first unit within the GROUP object.
  -- 
  -- The method @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.AddDefenseCoordinate}() adds a new defense coordinate to the `A2GDispatcher` object.
  -- The first parameter is the key of the defense coordinate, the second the coordinate itself.
  -- 
  -- Later, a COORDINATE_UNIT will be added to the framework, which can be used to assign "moving" coordinates to an A2G dispatcher.
  -- 
  -- **REMEMBER!** 
  -- 
  --   - **Defense coordinates are the center of the A2G dispatcher defense system!**
  --   - **You can define more defense coordinates to defend a larger area.**
  --   - **Detected enemy ground targets are not immediately engaged, but are engaged with a reactivity or probability calculation!**
  -- 
  -- But, there is more to it ...
  -- 
  -- 
  -- ### 2.1. The **Defense Radius**.
  -- 
  -- The defense radius defines the maximum radius that a defense will be initiated around each defense coordinate.
  -- So even when there are targets further away than the defense radius, then these targets won't be engaged upon.
  -- By default, the defense radius is set to 100km (100.000 meters), but can be changed using the @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetDefenseRadius}() method.
  -- Note that the defense radius influences the defense reactivity also! The larger the defense radius, the more reactive the defenses will be.
  -- 
  -- For example:
  -- 
  --        A2GDispatcher:SetDefenseRadius( 30000 )
  -- 
  -- This defines an A2G dispatcher which will engage on enemy ground targets within 30km radius around the defense coordinate.
  -- Note that the defense radius **applies to all defense coordinates** defined within the A2G dispatcher.
  -- 
  -- ### 2.2. The **Defense Reactivity**.
  -- 
  -- There are 5 levels that can be configured to tweak the defense reactivity. As explained above, the threat to a defense coordinate is 
  -- also determined by the distance of the enemy ground target to the defense coordinate.
  -- If you want to have a **low** defense reactivity, that is, the probability that an A2G defense will engage to the enemy ground target, then
  -- use the @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetDefenseReactivityLow}() method. For medium and high reactivity, use the methods 
  -- @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetDefenseReactivityMedium}() and @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetDefenseReactivityHigh}() respectively.
  -- 
  -- Note that the reactivity of defenses is always in relation to the Defense Radius! the shorter the distance, 
  -- the less reactive the defenses will be in terms of distance to enemy ground targets!
  -- 
  -- For example:
  -- 
  --        A2GDispatcher:SetDefenseReactivityHigh()
  --        
  -- This defines an A2G dispatcher with high defense reactivity.
  -- 
  -- ## 3. **Squadrons**.
  -- 
  -- The A2G dispatcher works with **Squadrons**, that need to be defined using the different methods available.
  -- 
  -- Use the method @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetSquadron}() to **setup a new squadron** active at an airfield, farp or carrier, 
  -- while defining which helicopter or plane **templates** are being used by the squadron and how many **resources** are available.
  -- 
  -- **Multiple squadrons** can be defined within one A2G dispatcher, each having specific defense tasks and defense parameter settings!
  -- 
  -- Squadrons:
  -- 
  --   * Have name (string) that is the identifier or **key** of the squadron.
  --   * Have specific helicopter or plane **templates**.
  --   * Are located at **one** airbase, farp or carrier.
  --   * Optionally have a **limited set of resources**. The default is that squadrons have **unlimited resources**.
  -- 
  -- The name of the squadron given acts as the **squadron key** in all `A2GDispatcher:SetSquadron...()` or `A2GDispatcher:GetSquadron...()` methods.
  -- 
  -- Additionally, squadrons have specific configuration options to:
  -- 
  --   * Control how new helicopters or aircraft are taking off from the airfield, farp or carrier (in the air, cold, hot, at the runway).
  --   * Control how returning helicopters or aircraft are landing at the airfield, farp or carrier (in the air near the airbase, after landing, after engine shutdown).
  --   * Control the **grouping** of new helicopters or aircraft spawned at the airfield, farp or carrier. If there is more than one helicopter or aircraft to be spawned, these may be grouped.
  --   * Control the **overhead** or defensive strength of the squadron. Depending on the types of helicopters, planes, amount of resources and payload (weapon configuration) chosen, 
  --     the mission designer can choose to increase or reduce the amount of planes spawned.
  -- 
  -- The method @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetSquadron}() defines for you a new squadron. 
  -- The provided parameters are the squadron name, airbase name and a list of template prefixe, and a number that indicates the amount of resources.
  -- 
  -- For example, this defines 3 new squadrons:
  -- 
  --        A2GDispatcher:SetSquadron( "Maykop SEAD", AIRBASE.Caucasus.Maykop_Khanskaya, { "CCCP KA-50" }, 10 )
  --        A2GDispatcher:SetSquadron( "Maykop CAS", "CAS", { "CCCP KA-50" }, 10 )
  --        A2GDispatcher:SetSquadron( "Maykop BAI", "BAI", { "CCCP KA-50" }, 10 )
  -- 
  -- The latter 2 will depart from FARPs, which bare the name `"CAS"` and `"BAI"`.
  -- 
  -- 
  -- ### 3.1. Squadrons **Tasking**.
  -- 
  -- Squadrons can be commanded to execute 3 types of tasks, as explained above:
  -- 
  --   - SEAD: Suppression of Air Defenses, which are ground targets that have medium or long range radar emitters.
  --   - CAS : Close Air Support, when there are enemy ground targets close to friendly units.
  --   - BAI : Battlefield Air Interdiction, which are targets further away from the frond-line.
  -- 
  -- You need to configure each squadron which task types you want it to perform. Read on ...
  -- 
  -- ### 3.2. Squadrons enemy ground target **engagement types**.
  --   
  -- There are two ways how targets can be engaged: directly **on call** from the airfield, farp or carrier, or through a **patrol**.
  -- 
  -- Patrols are extremely handy, as these will airborne your helicopters or airplanes in advance. They will patrol in defined zones outlined, 
  -- and will engage with the targets once commanded. If the patrol zone is close enough to the enemy ground targets, then the time required
  -- to engage is heavily minimized!
  -- 
  -- However; patrols come with a side effect: since your resources are airborne, they will be vulnerable to incoming air attacks from the enemy.
  -- 
  -- The mission designer needs to carefully balance the need for patrols or the need for engagement on call from the airfields.
  -- 
  -- ### 3.3. Squadron **on call** engagement.
  -- 
  -- So to make squadrons engage targets from the airfields, use the following methods:
  -- 
  --   - For SEAD, use the @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronSead}() method.
  --   - For CAS, use the @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronCas}() method.
  --   - For BAI, use the @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronBai}() method.
  -- 
  -- Note that for the tasks, specific helicopter or airplane templates are required to be used, which you can configure using your mission editor.
  -- Especially the payload (weapons configuration) is important to get right.
  -- 
  -- For example, the following will define for the squadrons different tasks:
  -- 
  --        A2GDispatcher:SetSquadron( "Maykop SEAD", AIRBASE.Caucasus.Maykop_Khanskaya, { "CCCP KA-50 SEAD" }, 10 )
  --        A2GDispatcher:SetSquadronSead( "Maykop SEAD", 120, 250 )
  --        
  --        A2GDispatcher:SetSquadron( "Maykop CAS", "CAS", { "CCCP KA-50 CAS" }, 10 )
  --        A2GDispatcher:SetSquadronCas( "Maykop CAS", 120, 250 )
  --        
  --        A2GDispatcher:SetSquadron( "Maykop BAI", "BAI", { "CCCP KA-50 BAI" }, 10 )
  --        A2GDispatcher:SetSquadronBai( "Maykop BAI", 120, 250 )
  -- 
  -- ### 3.4. Squadron **on patrol engagement**.
  -- 
  -- Squadrons can be setup to patrol in the air near the engagement hot zone.
  -- When needed, the A2G defense units will be close to the battle area, and can engage quickly.
  -- 
  -- So to make squadrons engage targets from a patrol zone, use the following methods:
  -- 
  --   - For SEAD, use the @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronSeadPatrol}() method.
  --   - For CAS, use the @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronCasPatrol}() method.
  --   - For BAI, use the @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronBaiPatrol}() method.
  -- 
  -- Because a patrol requires more parameters, the following methods must be used to fine-tune the patrols for each squadron.
  -- 
  --   - For SEAD, use the @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronSeadPatrolInterval}() method.
  --   - For CAS, use the @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronCasPatrolInterval}() method.
  --   - For BAI, use the @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronBaiPatrolInterval}() method.
  -- 
  -- Here an example to setup patrols of various task types:
  -- 
  --        A2GDispatcher:SetSquadron( "Maykop SEAD", AIRBASE.Caucasus.Maykop_Khanskaya, { "CCCP KA-50 SEAD" }, 10 )
  --        A2GDispatcher:SetSquadronSeadPatrol( "Maykop SEAD", PatrolZone, 300, 500, 50, 80, 250, 300 )
  --        A2GDispatcher:SetSquadronPatrolInterval( "Maykop SEAD", 2, 30, 60, 1, "SEAD" )
  --        
  --        A2GDispatcher:SetSquadron( "Maykop CAS", "CAS", { "CCCP KA-50 CAS" }, 10 )
  --        A2GDispatcher:SetSquadronCasPatrol( "Maykop CAS", PatrolZone, 600, 700, 50, 80, 250, 300 )
  --        A2GDispatcher:SetSquadronPatrolInterval( "Maykop CAS", 2, 30, 60, 1, "CAS" )
  --        
  --        A2GDispatcher:SetSquadron( "Maykop BAI", "BAI", { "CCCP KA-50 BAI" }, 10 )
  --        A2GDispatcher:SetSquadronBaiPatrol( "Maykop BAI", PatrolZone, 800, 900, 50, 80, 250, 300 )
  --        A2GDispatcher:SetSquadronPatrolInterval( "Maykop BAI", 2, 30, 60, 1, "BAI" )
  -- 
  -- 
  -- ### 3.5. Set squadron take-off methods
  -- 
  -- Use the various SetSquadronTakeoff... methods to control how squadrons are taking-off from the home airfield, FARP or ship.
  -- 
  --   * @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronTakeoff}() is the generic configuration method to control takeoff from the air, hot, cold or from the runway. See the method for further details.
  --   * @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronTakeoffInAir}() will spawn new aircraft from the squadron directly in the air.
  --   * @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronTakeoffFromParkingCold}() will spawn new aircraft in without running engines at a parking spot at the airfield.
  --   * @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronTakeoffFromParkingHot}() will spawn new aircraft in with running engines at a parking spot at the airfield.
  --   * @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronTakeoffFromRunway}() will spawn new aircraft at the runway at the airfield.
  -- 
  -- **The default landing method is to spawn new aircraft directly in the air.**
  -- 
  -- Use these methods to fine-tune for specific airfields that are known to create bottlenecks, or have reduced airbase efficiency.
  -- The more and the longer aircraft need to taxi at an airfield, the more risk there is that:
  -- 
  --   * aircraft will stop waiting for each other or for a landing aircraft before takeoff.
  --   * aircraft may get into a "dead-lock" situation, where two aircraft are blocking each other.
  --   * aircraft may collide at the airbase.
  --   * aircraft may be awaiting the landing of a plane currently in the air, but never lands ...
  --   
  -- Currently within the DCS engine, the airfield traffic coordination is erroneous and contains a lot of bugs.
  -- If you experience while testing problems with aircraft take-off or landing, please use one of the above methods as a solution to workaround these issues!
  -- 
  -- This example sets the default takeoff method to be from the runway.
  -- And for a couple of squadrons overrides this default method.
  -- 
  --      -- Setup the Takeoff methods
  --      
  --      -- The default takeoff
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetDefaultTakeOffFromRunway()
  --      
  --      -- The individual takeoff per squadron
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronTakeoff( "Mineralnye", AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.Takeoff.Air )
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronTakeoffInAir( "Sochi" )
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronTakeoffFromRunway( "Mozdok" )
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronTakeoffFromParkingCold( "Maykop" )
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronTakeoffFromParkingHot( "Novo" )  
  -- 
  -- 
  -- ### 3.5.1. Set Squadron takeoff altitude when spawning new aircraft in the air.
  -- 
  -- In the case of the @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronTakeoffInAir}() there is also an other parameter that can be applied.
  -- That is modifying or setting the **altitude** from where planes spawn in the air.
  -- Use the method @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronTakeoffInAirAltitude}() to set the altitude for a specific squadron.
  -- The default takeoff altitude can be modified or set using the method @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronTakeoffInAirAltitude}().
  -- As part of the method @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronTakeoffInAir}() a parameter can be specified to set the takeoff altitude.
  -- If this parameter is not specified, then the default altitude will be used for the squadron.
  -- 
  -- ### 3.5.2. Set Squadron takeoff interval.
  -- 
  -- The different types of available airfields have different amounts of available launching platforms:
  -- 
  --   - Airbases typically have a lot of platforms.
  --   - FARPs have 4 platforms.
  --   - Ships have 2 to 4 platforms.
  --   
  -- Depending on the demand of requested takeoffs by the A2G dispatcher, an airfield can become overloaded. Too many aircraft need to be taken
  -- off at the same time, which will result in clutter as described above. In order to better control this behaviour, a takeoff scheduler is implemented,
  -- which can be used to control how many aircraft are ordered for takeoff between specific time intervals.
  -- The takeff intervals can be specified per squadron, which make sense, as each squadron have a "home" airfield.
  -- 
  -- For this purpose, the method @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronTakeOffInterval}() can be used to specify the takeoff intervals of 
  -- aircraft groups per squadron to avoid cluttering of aircraft at airbases.
  -- This is especially useful for FARPs and ships. Each takeoff dispatch is queued by the dispatcher and when the interval time
  -- has been reached, a new group will be spawned or activated for takeoff.
  -- 
  -- The interval needs to be estimated, and depends on the time needed for the aircraft group to actually depart from the launch platform, and
  -- the way how the aircraft are starting up. Cold starts take the longest duration, hot starts a few seconds, and runway takeoff also a few seconds for FARPs and ships.
  -- 
  -- See the underlying example:
  -- 
  --      -- Imagine a squadron launched from a FARP, with a grouping of 4.
  --      -- Aircraft will cold start from the FARP, and thus, a maximum of 4 aircraft can be launched at the same time.
  --      -- Additionally, depending on the group composition of the aircraft, defending units will be ordered for takeoff together.
  --      -- It takes about 3 to 4 minutes to takeoff helicopters from FARPs in cold start.
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronTakeOffInterval( "Mineralnye", 60 * 4 )
  -- 
  -- 
  -- ### 3.6. Set squadron landing methods
  -- 
  -- In analogy with takeoff, the landing methods are to control how squadrons land at the airfield:
  -- 
  --   * @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronLanding}() is the generic configuration method to control landing, namely despawn the aircraft near the airfield in the air, right after landing, or at engine shutdown.
  --   * @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronLandingNearAirbase}() will despawn the returning aircraft in the air when near the airfield.
  --   * @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronLandingAtRunway}() will despawn the returning aircraft directly after landing at the runway.
  --   * @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronLandingAtEngineShutdown}() will despawn the returning aircraft when the aircraft has returned to its parking spot and has turned off its engines.
  -- 
  -- You can use these methods to minimize the airbase coodination overhead and to increase the airbase efficiency.
  -- When there are lots of aircraft returning for landing, at the same airbase, the takeoff process will be halted, which can cause a complete failure of the
  -- A2A defense system, as no new CAP or GCI planes can takeoff.
  -- Note that the method @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronLandingNearAirbase}() will only work for returning aircraft, not for damaged or out of fuel aircraft.
  -- Damaged or out-of-fuel aircraft are returning to the nearest friendly airbase and will land, and are out of control from ground control.
  -- 
  -- This example defines the default landing method to be at the runway.
  -- And for a couple of squadrons overrides this default method.
  -- 
  --      -- Setup the Landing methods
  -- 
  --      -- The default landing method
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetDefaultLandingAtRunway()
  -- 
  --      -- The individual landing per squadron
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronLandingAtRunway( "Mineralnye" )
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronLandingNearAirbase( "Sochi" )
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronLandingAtEngineShutdown( "Mozdok" )
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronLandingNearAirbase( "Maykop" )
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronLanding( "Novo", AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.Landing.AtRunway )
  -- 
  -- 
  -- ### 3.7. Set squadron **grouping**.
  -- 
  -- Use the method @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronGrouping}() to set the grouping of aircraft when spawned in.
  -- 
  -- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AI_A2G_DISPATCHER\Dia12.JPG)
  -- 
  -- In the case of **on call** engagement, the @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronGrouping}() method has additional behaviour. 
  -- When there aren't enough patrol flights airborne, a on call will be initiated for the remaining
  -- targets to be engaged. Depending on the grouping parameter, the spawned flights for on call aircraft are grouped into this setting.   
  -- For example with a group setting of 2, if 3 targets are detected and cannot be engaged by the available patrols or any airborne flight, 
  -- an additional on call flight needs to be started.
  -- 
  -- The **grouping value is set for a Squadron**, and can be **dynamically adjusted** during mission execution, so to adjust the defense flights grouping when the tactical situation changes.
  -- 
  -- ### 3.8. Set the squadron **overhead** to balance the effectiveness of the A2G defenses.
  -- 
  -- The effectiveness can be set with the **overhead parameter**. This is a number that is used to calculate the amount of Units that dispatching command will allocate to GCI in surplus of detected amount of units.
  -- The **default value** of the overhead parameter is 1.0, which means **equal balance**.
  -- 
  -- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AI_A2G_DISPATCHER\Dia11.JPG)
  -- 
  -- However, depending on the (type of) aircraft (strength and payload) in the squadron and the amount of resources available, this parameter can be changed.
  -- 
  -- The @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronOverhead}() method can be used to tweak the defense strength,
  -- taking into account the plane types of the squadron. 
  -- 
  -- For example, a A-10C with full long-distance A2G missiles payload, may still be less effective than a Su-23 with short range A2G missiles...
  -- So in this case, one may want to use the @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetOverhead}() method to allocate more defending planes as the amount of detected attacking ground units.
  -- The overhead must be given as a decimal value with 1 as the neutral value, which means that overhead values: 
  -- 
  --   * Higher than 1.0, for example 1.5, will increase the defense unit amounts. For 4 attacking ground units detected, 6 aircraft will be spawned.
  --   * Lower than 1, for example 0.75, will decrease the defense unit amounts. For 4 attacking ground units detected, only 3 aircraft will be spawned.
  -- 
  -- The amount of defending units is calculated by multiplying the amount of detected attacking ground units as part of the detected group 
  -- multiplied by the overhead parameter, and rounded up to the smallest integer. 
  -- 
  -- Typically, for A2G defenses, values small than 1 will be used. Here are some good values for a couple of aircraft to support CAS operations:
  -- 
  --   - A-10C: 0.15
  --   - Su-34: 0.15
  --   - A-10A: 0.25
  --   - SU-25T: 0.10
  -- 
  -- So generically, the amount of missiles that an aircraft can take will determine its attacking effectiveness. The longer the range of the missiles, 
  -- the less risk that the defender may be destroyed by the enemy, thus, the less aircraft needs to be activated in a defense.
  -- 
  -- The **overhead value is set for a Squadron**, and can be **dynamically adjusted** during mission execution, so to adjust the defense overhead when the tactical situation changes.
  --
  -- ### 3.8. Set the squadron **engage limit**.
  -- 
  -- To limit the amount of aircraft to defend against a large group of intruders, an **engage limit** can be defined per squadron.
  -- This limit will avoid an extensive amount of aircraft to engage with the enemy if the attacking ground forces are enormous.
  -- 
  -- Use the method @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronEngageLimit}() to limit the amount of aircraft that will engage with the enemy, per squadron.
  --
  -- ## 4. Set the **fuel treshold**.
  -- 
  -- When aircraft get **out of fuel** to a certain %-tage, which is by default **15% (0.15)**, there are two possible actions that can be taken:
  --  - The aircraft will go RTB, and will be replaced with a new aircraft if possible.
  --  - The aircraft will refuel at a tanker, if a tanker has been specified for the squadron.
  -- 
  -- Use the method @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronFuelThreshold}() to set the **squadron fuel treshold** of the aircraft for all squadrons.
  -- 
  -- ## 6. Other configuration options
  -- 
  -- ### 6.1. Set a tactical display panel.
  -- 
  -- Every 30 seconds, a tactical display panel can be shown that illustrates what the status is of the different groups controlled by AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.
  -- Use the method @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetTacticalDisplay}() to switch on the tactical display panel. The default will not show this panel.
  -- Note that there may be some performance impact if this panel is shown.
  -- 
  -- ## 10. Default settings.
  -- 
  -- Default settings configure the standard behaviour of the squadrons. 
  -- This section a good overview of the different parameters that setup the behaviour of **ALL** the squadrons by default.
  -- Note that default behaviour can be tweaked, and thus, this will change the behaviour of all the squadrons.
  -- Unless there is a specific behaviour set for a specific squadron, the default configured behaviour will be followed.
  -- 
  -- ## 10.1. Default **takeoff** behaviour.
  -- 
  -- The default takeoff behaviour is set to **in the air**, which means that new spawned aircraft will be spawned directly in the air above the airbase by default.
  -- 
  -- **The default takeoff method can be set for ALL squadrons that don't have an individual takeoff method configured.**
  -- 
  --   * @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetDefaultTakeoff}() is the generic configuration method to control takeoff by default from the air, hot, cold or from the runway. See the method for further details.
  --   * @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetDefaultTakeoffInAir}() will spawn by default new aircraft from the squadron directly in the air.
  --   * @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetDefaultTakeoffFromParkingCold}() will spawn by default new aircraft in without running engines at a parking spot at the airfield.
  --   * @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetDefaultTakeoffFromParkingHot}() will spawn by default new aircraft in with running engines at a parking spot at the airfield.
  --   * @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetDefaultTakeoffFromRunway}() will spawn by default new aircraft at the runway at the airfield.
  -- 
  -- ## 10.2. Default landing behaviour.
  -- 
  -- The default landing behaviour is set to **near the airbase**, which means that returning airplanes will be despawned directly in the air by default.
  -- 
  -- The default landing method can be set for ALL squadrons that don't have an individual landing method configured.
  -- 
  --   * @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetDefaultLanding}() is the generic configuration method to control by default landing, namely despawn the aircraft near the airfield in the air, right after landing, or at engine shutdown.
  --   * @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetDefaultLandingNearAirbase}() will despawn by default the returning aircraft in the air when near the airfield.
  --   * @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetDefaultLandingAtRunway}() will despawn by default the returning aircraft directly after landing at the runway.
  --   * @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetDefaultLandingAtEngineShutdown}() will despawn by default the returning aircraft when the aircraft has returned to its parking spot and has turned off its engines.
  -- 
  -- ## 10.3. Default **overhead**.
  -- 
  -- The default overhead is set to **0.25**. That essentially means that for each 4 ground enemies there will be 1 aircraft dispatched.
  -- 
  -- The default overhead value can be set for ALL squadrons that don't have an individual overhead value configured.
  --
  -- Use the @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetDefaultOverhead}() method can be used to set the default overhead or defense strength for ALL squadrons.
  --
  -- ## 10.4. Default **grouping**.
  -- 
  -- The default grouping is set to **one airplane**. That essentially means that there won't be any grouping applied by default.
  -- 
  -- The default grouping value can be set for ALL squadrons that don't have an individual grouping value configured.
  -- 
  -- Use the method @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetDefaultGrouping}() to set the **default grouping** of spawned airplanes for all squadrons.
  -- 
  -- ## 10.5. Default RTB fuel treshold.
  -- 
  -- When an airplane gets **out of fuel** to a certain %-tage, which is **15% (0.15)**, it will go RTB, and will be replaced with a new airplane when applicable.
  -- 
  -- Use the method @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetDefaultFuelThreshold}() to set the **default fuel treshold** of spawned airplanes for all squadrons.
  -- 
  -- ## 10.6. Default RTB damage treshold.
  -- 
  -- When an airplane is **damaged** to a certain %-tage, which is **40% (0.40)**, it will go RTB, and will be replaced with a new airplane when applicable.
  -- 
  -- Use the method @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetDefaultDamageThreshold}() to set the **default damage treshold** of spawned airplanes for all squadrons.
  -- 
  -- ## 10.7. Default settings for **patrol**.
  -- 
  -- ### 10.7.1. Default **patrol time Interval**.
  -- 
  -- Patrol dispatching is time event driven, and will evaluate in random time intervals if a new patrol needs to be dispatched.
  -- 
  -- The default patrol time interval is between **180** and **600** seconds.
  -- 
  -- Use the method @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetDefaultPatrolTimeInterval}() to set the **default patrol time interval** of dispatched aircraft for ALL squadrons.
  --   
  -- Note that you can still change the patrol limit and patrol time intervals for each patrol individually using 
  -- the @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronPatrolTimeInterval}() method.
  -- 
  -- ### 10.7.2. Default **patrol limit**.
  -- 
  -- Multiple patrol can be airborne at the same time for one squadron, which is controlled by the **patrol limit**.
  -- The **default patrol limit** is 1 patrol per squadron to be airborne at the same time.
  -- Note that the default patrol limit is used when a squadron patrol is defined, and cannot be changed afterwards.
  -- So, ensure that you set the default patrol limit **before** you define or setup the squadron patrol.
  -- 
  -- Use the method @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetDefaultPatrolTimeInterval}() to set the **default patrol time interval** of dispatched aircraft patrols for all squadrons.  
  -- Note that you can still change the patrol limit and patrol time intervals for each patrol individually using 
  -- the @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetSquadronPatrolTimeInterval}() method.
  -- 
  -- ## 10.7.3. Default tanker for refuelling when executing CAP.
  -- 
  -- Instead of sending CAP to RTB when out of fuel, you can let CAP refuel in mid air using a tanker.
  -- This greatly increases the efficiency of your CAP operations.
  -- 
  -- In the mission editor, setup a group with task Refuelling. A tanker unit of the correct coalition will be automatically selected.
  -- Then, use the method @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetDefaultTanker}() to set the tanker for the dispatcher.
  -- Use the method @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetDefaultFuelThreshold}() to set the %-tage left in the defender airplane tanks when a refuel action is needed.
  -- 
  -- When the tanker specified is alive and in the air, the tanker will be used for refuelling.
  -- 
  -- For example, the following setup will set the default refuel tanker to "Tanker":
  -- 
  -- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\AI_A2G_DISPATCHER\AI_A2G_DISPATCHER-ME_11.JPG)
  -- 
  --      -- Define the CAP
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadron( "Sochi", AIRBASE.Caucasus.Sochi_Adler, { "SQ CCCP SU-34" }, 20 )
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronCap( "Sochi", ZONE:New( "PatrolZone" ), 4000, 8000, 600, 800, 1000, 1300 )
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronCapInterval("Sochi", 2, 30, 600, 1 ) 
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetSquadronGci( "Sochi", 900, 1200 )
  --      
  --      -- Set the default tanker for refuelling to "Tanker", when the default fuel treshold has reached 90% fuel left.
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetDefaultFuelThreshold( 0.9 )
  --      A2ADispatcher:SetDefaultTanker( "Tanker" )
  --  
  -- ## 10.8. Default settings for GCI.
  -- 
  -- ## 10.8.1. Optimal intercept point calculation.
  -- 
  -- When intruders are detected, the intrusion path of the attackers can be monitored by the EWR.  
  -- Although defender planes might be on standby at the airbase, it can still take some time to get the defenses up in the air if there aren't any defenses airborne.
  -- This time can easily take 2 to 3 minutes, and even then the defenders still need to fly towards the target, which takes also time.
  -- 
  -- Therefore, an optimal **intercept point** is calculated which takes a couple of parameters:
  -- 
  --   * The average bearing of the intruders for an amount of seconds.
  --   * The average speed of the intruders for an amount of seconds.
  --   * An assumed time it takes to get planes operational at the airbase.
  -- 
  -- The **intercept point** will determine:
  -- 
  --   * If there are any friendlies close to engage the target. These can be defenders performing CAP or defenders in RTB.
  --   * The optimal airbase from where defenders will takeoff for GCI.
  -- 
  -- Use the method @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetIntercept}() to modify the assumed intercept delay time to calculate a valid interception.
  -- 
  -- ## 10.8.2. Default Disengage Radius.
  -- 
  -- The radius to **disengage any target** when the **distance** of the defender to the **home base** is larger than the specified meters.
  -- The default Disengage Radius is **300km** (300000 meters). Note that the Disengage Radius is applicable to ALL squadrons!
  --   
  -- Use the method @{#AI_A2G_DISPATCHER.SetDisengageRadius}() to modify the default Disengage Radius to another distance setting.
  -- 
  -- ## 11. Airbase capture:
  -- 
  -- Different squadrons can be located at one airbase.
  -- If the airbase gets captured, that is, when there is an enemy unit near the airbase, and there aren't anymore friendlies at the airbase, the airbase will change coalition ownership.
  -- As a result, the GCI and CAP will stop!
  -- However, the squadron will still stay alive. Any airplane that is airborne will continue its operations until all airborne airplanes
  -- of the squadron will be destroyed. This to keep consistency of air operations not to confuse the players.

  --- This is the main method to define Squadrons programmatically.  
  -- Squadrons:
  -- 
  --   * Have a **name or key** that is the identifier or key of the squadron.
  --   * Have **specific plane types** defined by **templates**.
  --   * Are **located at one specific airbase**. Multiple squadrons can be located at one airbase through.
  --   * Optionally have a limited set of **resources**. The default is that squadrons have unlimited resources.
  -- 
  -- The name of the squadron given acts as the **squadron key** in the AI\_A2G\_DISPATCHER:Squadron...() methods.
  -- 
  -- Additionally, squadrons have specific configuration options to:
  -- 
  --   * Control how new aircraft are **taking off** from the airfield (in the air, cold, hot, at the runway).
  --   * Control how returning aircraft are **landing** at the airfield (in the air near the airbase, after landing, after engine shutdown).
  --   * Control the **grouping** of new aircraft spawned at the airfield. If there is more than one aircraft to be spawned, these may be grouped.
  --   * Control the **overhead** or defensive strength of the squadron. Depending on the types of planes and amount of resources, the mission designer can choose to increase or reduce the amount of planes spawned.
  --   
  -- For performance and bug workaround reasons within DCS, squadrons have different methods to spawn new aircraft or land returning or damaged aircraft.
  -- 
  -- @param #AI_A2G_DISPATCHER self
  -- 
  -- @param #string SquadronName A string (text) that defines the squadron identifier or the key of the Squadron. 
  -- It can be any name, for example `"104th Squadron"` or `"SQ SQUADRON1"`, whatever. 
  -- As long as you remember that this name becomes the identifier of your squadron you have defined. 
  -- You need to use this name in other methods too!
  -- 
  -- @param #string AirbaseName The airbase name where you want to have the squadron located. 
  -- You need to specify here EXACTLY the name of the airbase as you see it in the mission editor. 
  -- Examples are `"Batumi"` or `"Tbilisi-Lochini"`. 
  -- EXACTLY the airbase name, between quotes `""`.
  -- To ease the airbase naming when using the LDT editor and IntelliSense, the @{Wrapper.Airbase#AIRBASE} class contains enumerations of the airbases of each map.
  --

-- @extends Core.Fsm#FSM_CONTROLLABLE

--- Implements the core functions to patrol a @{Zone} by an AI @{Wrapper.Controllable} or @{Wrapper.Group}.
-- 
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_PATROL\Dia3.JPG)
-- 
-- The AI_PATROL_ZONE is assigned a @{Wrapper.Group} and this must be done before the AI_PATROL_ZONE process can be started using the **Start** event.
-- 
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_PATROL\Dia4.JPG)
-- 
-- The AI will fly towards the random 3D point within the patrol zone, using a random speed within the given altitude and speed limits.
-- Upon arrival at the 3D point, a new random 3D point will be selected within the patrol zone using the given limits.
-- 
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_PATROL\Dia5.JPG)
-- 
-- This cycle will continue.
-- 
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_PATROL\Dia6.JPG)
-- 
-- During the patrol, the AI will detect enemy targets, which are reported through the **Detected** event.
--
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_PATROL\Dia9.JPG)
-- 
---- Note that the enemy is not engaged! To model enemy engagement, either tailor the **Detected** event, or
-- use derived AI_ classes to model AI offensive or defensive behaviour.
-- 
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_PATROL\Dia10.JPG)
-- 
-- Until a fuel or damage treshold has been reached by the AI, or when the AI is commanded to RTB.
-- When the fuel treshold has been reached, the airplane will fly towards the nearest friendly airbase and will land.
-- 
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_PATROL\Dia11.JPG)
-- 
-- ## 1. AI_PATROL_ZONE constructor
--   
--   * @{#AI_PATROL_ZONE.New}(): Creates a new AI_PATROL_ZONE object.
-- 
-- ## 2. AI_PATROL_ZONE is a FSM
-- 
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_PATROL\Dia2.JPG)
-- 
-- ### 2.1. AI_PATROL_ZONE States
-- 
--   * **None** ( Group ): The process is not started yet.
--   * **Patrolling** ( Group ): The AI is patrolling the Patrol Zone.
--   * **Returning** ( Group ): The AI is returning to Base.
--   * **Stopped** ( Group ): The process is stopped.
--   * **Crashed** ( Group ): The AI has crashed or is dead.
-- 
-- ### 2.2. AI_PATROL_ZONE Events
-- 
--   * **Start** ( Group ): Start the process.
--   * **Stop** ( Group ): Stop the process.
--   * **Route** ( Group ): Route the AI to a new random 3D point within the Patrol Zone.
--   * **RTB** ( Group ): Route the AI to the home base.
--   * **Detect** ( Group ): The AI is detecting targets.
--   * **Detected** ( Group ): The AI has detected new targets.
--   * **Status** ( Group ): The AI is checking status (fuel and damage). When the tresholds have been reached, the AI will RTB.
--    
-- ## 3. Set or Get the AI controllable
-- 
--   * @{#AI_PATROL_ZONE.SetControllable}(): Set the AIControllable.
--   * @{#AI_PATROL_ZONE.GetControllable}(): Get the AIControllable.
--
-- ## 4. Set the Speed and Altitude boundaries of the AI controllable
--
--   * @{#AI_PATROL_ZONE.SetSpeed}(): Set the patrol speed boundaries of the AI, for the next patrol.
--   * @{#AI_PATROL_ZONE.SetAltitude}(): Set altitude boundaries of the AI, for the next patrol.
-- 
-- ## 5. Manage the detection process of the AI controllable
-- 
-- The detection process of the AI controllable can be manipulated.
-- Detection requires an amount of CPU power, which has an impact on your mission performance.
-- Only put detection on when absolutely necessary, and the frequency of the detection can also be set.
-- 
--   * @{#AI_PATROL_ZONE.SetDetectionOn}(): Set the detection on. The AI will detect for targets.
--   * @{#AI_PATROL_ZONE.SetDetectionOff}(): Set the detection off, the AI will not detect for targets. The existing target list will NOT be erased.
-- 
-- The detection frequency can be set with @{#AI_PATROL_ZONE.SetRefreshTimeInterval}( seconds ), where the amount of seconds specify how much seconds will be waited before the next detection.
-- Use the method @{#AI_PATROL_ZONE.GetDetectedUnits}() to obtain a list of the @{Wrapper.Unit}s detected by the AI.
-- 
-- The detection can be filtered to potential targets in a specific zone.
-- Use the method @{#AI_PATROL_ZONE.SetDetectionZone}() to set the zone where targets need to be detected.
-- Note that when the zone is too far away, or the AI is not heading towards the zone, or the AI is too high, no targets may be detected
-- according the weather conditions.
-- 
-- ## 6. Manage the "out of fuel" in the AI_PATROL_ZONE
-- 
-- When the AI is out of fuel, it is required that a new AI is started, before the old AI can return to the home base.
-- Therefore, with a parameter and a calculation of the distance to the home base, the fuel treshold is calculated.
-- When the fuel treshold is reached, the AI will continue for a given time its patrol task in orbit, 
-- while a new AI is targetted to the AI_PATROL_ZONE.
-- Once the time is finished, the old AI will return to the base.
-- Use the method @{#AI_PATROL_ZONE.ManageFuel}() to have this proces in place.
-- 
-- ## 7. Manage "damage" behaviour of the AI in the AI_PATROL_ZONE
-- 
-- When the AI is damaged, it is required that a new AIControllable is started. However, damage cannon be foreseen early on. 
-- Therefore, when the damage treshold is reached, the AI will return immediately to the home base (RTB).
-- Use the method @{#AI_PATROL_ZONE.ManageDamage}() to have this proces in place.

-- @field Core.Zone#ZONE_BASE TargetZone The @{Zone} where the patrol needs to be executed.
-- @extends AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE


--- Implements the core functions to patrol a @{Zone} by an AI @{Wrapper.Controllable} or @{Wrapper.Group} 
-- and automatically engage any airborne enemies that are within a certain range or within a certain zone.
-- 
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia3.JPG)
-- 
-- The AI_CAP_ZONE is assigned a @{Wrapper.Group} and this must be done before the AI_CAP_ZONE process can be started using the **Start** event.
-- 
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia4.JPG)
-- 
-- The AI will fly towards the random 3D point within the patrol zone, using a random speed within the given altitude and speed limits.
-- Upon arrival at the 3D point, a new random 3D point will be selected within the patrol zone using the given limits.
-- 
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia5.JPG)
-- 
-- This cycle will continue.
-- 
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia6.JPG)
-- 
-- During the patrol, the AI will detect enemy targets, which are reported through the **Detected** event.
--
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia9.JPG)
-- 
-- When enemies are detected, the AI will automatically engage the enemy.
-- 
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia10.JPG)
-- 
-- Until a fuel or damage treshold has been reached by the AI, or when the AI is commanded to RTB.
-- When the fuel treshold has been reached, the airplane will fly towards the nearest friendly airbase and will land.

-- ### 2.1 AI_CAP_ZONE States
-- 
--   * **None** ( Group ): The process is not started yet.
--   * **Patrolling** ( Group ): The AI is patrolling the Patrol Zone.
--   * **Engaging** ( Group ): The AI is engaging the bogeys.
--   * **Returning** ( Group ): The AI is returning to Base..
-- 
-- ### 2.2 AI_CAP_ZONE Events
-- 
--   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Start}**: Start the process.
--   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Route}**: Route the AI to a new random 3D point within the Patrol Zone.
--   * **@{#AI_CAP_ZONE.Engage}**: Let the AI engage the bogeys.
--   * **@{#AI_CAP_ZONE.Abort}**: Aborts the engagement and return patrolling in the patrol zone.
--   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.RTB}**: Route the AI to the home base.
--   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Detect}**: The AI is detecting targets.
--   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Detected}**: The AI has detected new targets.
--   * **@{#AI_CAP_ZONE.Destroy}**: The AI has destroyed a bogey @{Wrapper.Unit}.
--   * **@{#AI_CAP_ZONE.Destroyed}**: The AI has destroyed all bogeys @{Wrapper.Unit}s assigned in the CAS task.
--   * **Status** ( Group ): The AI is checking status (fuel and damage). When the tresholds have been reached, the AI will RTB.
--
-- ## 3. Set the Range of Engagement
-- 
-- ![Range](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia11.JPG)
-- 
-- An optional range can be set in meters, 
-- that will define when the AI will engage with the detected airborne enemy targets.
-- The range can be beyond or smaller than the range of the Patrol Zone.
-- The range is applied at the position of the AI.
-- Use the method @{AI.AI_CAP#AI_CAP_ZONE.SetEngageRange}() to define that range.

-- @field Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE AIControllable The @{Wrapper.Controllable} patrolling.
-- @field Core.Zone#ZONE_BASE TargetZone The @{Zone} where the patrol needs to be executed.
-- @extends AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE

--- Implements the core functions to provide Close Air Support in an Engage @{Zone} by an AIR @{Wrapper.Controllable} or @{Wrapper.Group}.
-- The AI_CAS_ZONE runs a process. It holds an AI in a Patrol Zone and when the AI is commanded to engage, it will fly to an Engage Zone.
-- 
-- ![HoldAndEngage](..\Presentations\AI_CAS\Dia3.JPG)
-- 
-- The AI_CAS_ZONE is assigned a @{Wrapper.Group} and this must be done before the AI_CAS_ZONE process can be started through the **Start** event.
--  
-- ![Start Event](..\Presentations\AI_CAS\Dia4.JPG)
-- 
-- Upon started, The AI will **Route** itself towards the random 3D point within a patrol zone, 
-- using a random speed within the given altitude and speed limits.
-- Upon arrival at the 3D point, a new random 3D point will be selected within the patrol zone using the given limits.
-- This cycle will continue until a fuel or damage treshold has been reached by the AI, or when the AI is commanded to RTB.
-- 
-- ![Route Event](..\Presentations\AI_CAS\Dia5.JPG)
-- 
-- When the AI is commanded to provide Close Air Support (through the event **Engage**), the AI will fly towards the Engage Zone.
-- Any target that is detected in the Engage Zone will be reported and will be destroyed by the AI.
-- 
-- ![Engage Event](..\Presentations\AI_CAS\Dia6.JPG)
-- 
-- The AI will detect the targets and will only destroy the targets within the Engage Zone.
-- 
-- ![Engage Event](..\Presentations\AI_CAS\Dia7.JPG)
-- 
-- Every target that is destroyed, is reported< by the AI.
-- 
-- ![Engage Event](..\Presentations\AI_CAS\Dia8.JPG)
-- 
-- Note that the AI does not know when the Engage Zone is cleared, and therefore will keep circling in the zone. 
--
-- ![Engage Event](..\Presentations\AI_CAS\Dia9.JPG)
-- 
-- Until it is notified through the event **Accomplish**, which is to be triggered by an observing party:
-- 
--   * a FAC
--   * a timed event
--   * a menu option selected by a human
--   * a condition
--   * others ...
-- 
-- ![Engage Event](..\Presentations\AI_CAS\Dia10.JPG)
-- 
-- When the AI has accomplished the CAS, it will fly back to the Patrol Zone.
-- 
-- ![Engage Event](..\Presentations\AI_CAS\Dia11.JPG)
-- 
-- It will keep patrolling there, until it is notified to RTB or move to another CAS Zone.
-- It can be notified to go RTB through the **RTB** event.
-- 
-- When the fuel treshold has been reached, the airplane will fly towards the nearest friendly airbase and will land.

-- 
-- ### 2.2. AI_CAS_ZONE Events
-- 
--   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Start}**: Start the process.
--   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Route}**: Route the AI to a new random 3D point within the Patrol Zone.
--   * **@{#AI_CAS_ZONE.Engage}**: Engage the AI to provide CAS in the Engage Zone, destroying any target it finds.
--   * **@{#AI_CAS_ZONE.Abort}**: Aborts the engagement and return patrolling in the patrol zone.
--   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.RTB}**: Route the AI to the home base.
--   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Detect}**: The AI is detecting targets.
--   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Detected}**: The AI has detected new targets.
--   * **@{#AI_CAS_ZONE.Destroy}**: The AI has destroyed a target @{Wrapper.Unit}.
--   * **@{#AI_CAS_ZONE.Destroyed}**: The AI has destroyed all target @{Wrapper.Unit}s assigned in the CAS task.
--   * **Status**: The AI is checking status (fuel and damage). When the tresholds have been reached, the AI will RTB.

--- **AI** -- Peform Battlefield Area Interdiction (BAI) within an engagement zone.
--
-- **Features:**
-- 
--   * Hold and standby within a patrol zone.
--   * Engage upon command the assigned targets within an engagement zone.
--   * Loop the zone until all targets are eliminated.
--   * Trigger different events upon the results achieved.
--   * After combat, return to the patrol zone and hold.
--   * RTB when commanded or after out of fuel.

--- AI_BAI_ZONE class
-- @type AI_BAI_ZONE
-- @field Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE AIControllable The @{Wrapper.Controllable} patrolling.
-- @field Core.Zone#ZONE_BASE TargetZone The @{Zone} where the patrol needs to be executed.
-- @extends AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE

--- Implements the core functions to provide BattleGround Air Interdiction in an Engage @{Zone} by an AIR @{Wrapper.Controllable} or @{Wrapper.Group}.
-- 
-- The AI_BAI_ZONE runs a process. It holds an AI in a Patrol Zone and when the AI is commanded to engage, it will fly to an Engage Zone.
-- 
-- ![HoldAndEngage](..\Presentations\AI_BAI\Dia3.JPG)
-- 
-- The AI_BAI_ZONE is assigned a @{Wrapper.Group} and this must be done before the AI_BAI_ZONE process can be started through the **Start** event.
--  
-- ![Start Event](..\Presentations\AI_BAI\Dia4.JPG)
-- 
-- Upon started, The AI will **Route** itself towards the random 3D point within a patrol zone, 
-- using a random speed within the given altitude and speed limits.
-- Upon arrival at the 3D point, a new random 3D point will be selected within the patrol zone using the given limits.
-- This cycle will continue until a fuel or damage treshold has been reached by the AI, or when the AI is commanded to RTB.
-- 
-- ![Route Event](..\Presentations\AI_BAI\Dia5.JPG)
-- 
-- When the AI is commanded to provide BattleGround Air Interdiction (through the event **Engage**), the AI will fly towards the Engage Zone.
-- Any target that is detected in the Engage Zone will be reported and will be destroyed by the AI.
-- 
-- ![Engage Event](..\Presentations\AI_BAI\Dia6.JPG)
-- 
-- The AI will detect the targets and will only destroy the targets within the Engage Zone.
-- 
-- ![Engage Event](..\Presentations\AI_BAI\Dia7.JPG)
-- 
-- Every target that is destroyed, is reported< by the AI.
-- 
-- ![Engage Event](..\Presentations\AI_BAI\Dia8.JPG)
-- 
-- Note that the AI does not know when the Engage Zone is cleared, and therefore will keep circling in the zone. 
--
-- ![Engage Event](..\Presentations\AI_BAI\Dia9.JPG)
-- 
-- Until it is notified through the event **Accomplish**, which is to be triggered by an observing party:
-- 
--   * a FAC
--   * a timed event
--   * a menu option selected by a human
--   * a condition
--   * others ...
-- 
-- ![Engage Event](..\Presentations\AI_BAI\Dia10.JPG)
-- 
-- When the AI has accomplished the Bombing, it will fly back to the Patrol Zone.
-- 
-- ![Engage Event](..\Presentations\AI_BAI\Dia11.JPG)
-- 
-- It will keep patrolling there, until it is notified to RTB or move to another BOMB Zone.
-- It can be notified to go RTB through the **RTB** event.
-- 
-- When the fuel treshold has been reached, the airplane will fly towards the nearest friendly airbase and will land.

-- # 1. AI_BAI_ZONE constructor
--
--   * @{#AI_BAI_ZONE.New}(): Creates a new AI_BAI_ZONE object.
--
-- ## 2. AI_BAI_ZONE is a FSM
-- 
-- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_BAI\Dia2.JPG)
-- 
-- ### 2.1. AI_BAI_ZONE States
-- 
--   * **None** ( Group ): The process is not started yet.
--   * **Patrolling** ( Group ): The AI is patrolling the Patrol Zone.
--   * **Engaging** ( Group ): The AI is engaging the targets in the Engage Zone, executing BOMB.
--   * **Returning** ( Group ): The AI is returning to Base..
-- 
-- ### 2.2. AI_BAI_ZONE Events
-- 
--   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Start}**: Start the process.
--   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Route}**: Route the AI to a new random 3D point within the Patrol Zone.
--   * **@{#AI_BAI_ZONE.Engage}**: Engage the AI to provide BOMB in the Engage Zone, destroying any target it finds.
--   * **@{#AI_BAI_ZONE.Abort}**: Aborts the engagement and return patrolling in the patrol zone.
--   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.RTB}**: Route the AI to the home base.
--   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Detect}**: The AI is detecting targets.
--   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Detected}**: The AI has detected new targets.
--   * **@{#AI_BAI_ZONE.Destroy}**: The AI has destroyed a target @{Wrapper.Unit}.
--   * **@{#AI_BAI_ZONE.Destroyed}**: The AI has destroyed all target @{Wrapper.Unit}s assigned in the BOMB task.
--   * **Status**: The AI is checking status (fuel and damage). When the tresholds have been reached, the AI will RTB.
-- 
-- ## 3. Modify the Engage Zone behaviour to pinpoint a **map object** or **scenery object**
-- 
-- Use the method @{#AI_BAI_ZONE.SearchOff}() to specify that the EngageZone is not to be searched for potential targets (UNITs), but that the center of the zone
-- is the point where a map object is to be destroyed (like a bridge).
-- 
-- Example:
-- 
--      -- Tell the BAI not to search for potential targets in the BAIEngagementZone, but rather use the center of the BAIEngagementZone as the bombing location.
--      AIBAIZone:SearchOff()
-- 
-- Searching can be switched back on with the method @{#AI_BAI_ZONE.SearchOn}(). Use the method @{#AI_BAI_ZONE.SearchOnOff}() to flexibily switch searching on or off.

--- AI_FORMATION class
-- @type AI_FORMATION
-- @extends Core.Fsm#FSM_SET
-- @field Wrapper.Unit#UNIT FollowUnit
-- @field Core.Set#SET_GROUP FollowGroupSet
-- @field #string FollowName
-- @field #AI_FORMATION.MODE FollowMode The mode the escort is in.
-- @field Scheduler#SCHEDULER FollowScheduler The instance of the SCHEDULER class.
-- @field #number FollowDistance The current follow distance.
-- @field #boolean ReportTargets If true, nearby targets are reported.
-- @Field DCSTypes#AI.Option.Air.val.ROE OptionROE Which ROE is set to the FollowGroup.
-- @field DCSTypes#AI.Option.Air.val.REACTION_ON_THREAT OptionReactionOnThreat Which REACTION_ON_THREAT is set to the FollowGroup.
-- @field #number dtFollow Time step between position updates.


--- Build large formations, make AI follow a @{Wrapper.Client#CLIENT} (player) leader or a @{Wrapper.Unit#UNIT} (AI) leader.
--
-- AI_FORMATION makes AI @{GROUP}s fly in formation of various compositions.
-- The AI_FORMATION class models formations in a different manner than the internal DCS formation logic!!!
-- The purpose of the class is to:
-- 
--   * Make formation building a process that can be managed while in flight, rather than a task.
--   * Human players can guide formations, consisting of larget planes.
--   * Build large formations (like a large bomber field).
--   * Form formations that DCS does not support off the shelve.
-- 
-- A few remarks:
-- 
--   * Depending on the type of plane, the change in direction by the leader may result in the formation getting disentangled while in flight and needs to be rebuild.
--   * Formations are vulnerable to collissions, but is depending on the type of plane, the distance between the planes and the speed and angle executed by the leader.
--   * Formations may take a while to build up.
-- 
-- As a result, the AI_FORMATION is not perfect, but is very useful to:
-- 
--   * Model large formations when flying straight line. You can build close formations when doing this.
--   * Make humans guide a large formation, when the planes are wide from each other.
--   
-- ## AI_FORMATION construction
-- 
-- Create a new SPAWN object with the @{#AI_FORMATION.New} method:
--
--   * @{#AI_FORMATION.New}(): Creates a new AI_FORMATION object from a @{Wrapper.Group#GROUP} for a @{Wrapper.Client#CLIENT} or a @{Wrapper.Unit#UNIT}, with an optional briefing text.
--
-- ## Formation methods
-- 
-- The following methods can be used to set or change the formation:
-- 
--  * @{#AI_FORMATION.FormationLine}(): Form a line formation (core formation function).
--  * @{#AI_FORMATION.FormationTrail}(): Form a trail formation.
--  * @{#AI_FORMATION.FormationLeftLine}(): Form a left line formation.
--  * @{#AI_FORMATION.FormationRightLine}(): Form a right line formation.
--  * @{#AI_FORMATION.FormationRightWing}(): Form a right wing formation.
--  * @{#AI_FORMATION.FormationLeftWing}(): Form a left wing formation.
--  * @{#AI_FORMATION.FormationCenterWing}(): Form a center wing formation.
--  * @{#AI_FORMATION.FormationCenterVic}(): Form a Vic formation (same as CenterWing.
--  * @{#AI_FORMATION.FormationCenterBoxed}(): Form a center boxed formation.
--  
-- ## Randomization
-- 
-- Use the method @{AI.AI_Formation#AI_FORMATION.SetFlightRandomization}() to simulate the formation flying errors that pilots make while in formation. Is a range set in meters.

-- 
-- ## Missions:
-- 
-- [ESC - Escorting](https://github.com/FlightControl-Master/MOOSE_MISSIONS/tree/master/ESC%20-%20Escorting)
-- 
-- ===
-- 
-- Allows you to interact with escorting AI on your flight and take the lead.
-- 
-- Each escorting group can be commanded with a complete set of radio commands (radio menu in your flight, and then F10).
--
-- The radio commands will vary according the category of the group. The richest set of commands are with helicopters and airPlanes.
-- Ships and Ground troops will have a more limited set, but they can provide support through the bombing of targets designated by the other escorts.
-- 
-- Escorts detect targets using a built-in detection mechanism. The detected targets are reported at a specified time interval.
-- Once targets are reported, each escort has these targets as menu options to command the attack of these targets.
-- Targets are by default grouped per area of 5000 meters, but the kind of detection and the grouping range can be altered.
-- 
-- Different formations can be selected in the Flight menu: Trail, Stack, Left Line, Right Line, Left Wing, Right Wing, Central Wing and Boxed formations are available.
-- The Flight menu also allows for a mass attack, where all of the escorts are commanded to attack a target.
-- 
-- Escorts can emit flares to reports their location. They can be commanded to hold at a location, which can be their current or the leader location.
-- In this way, you can spread out the escorts over the battle field before a coordinated attack.
-- 
-- But basically, the escort class provides 4 modes of operation, and depending on the mode, you are either leading the flight, or following the flight.
-- 
-- ## Leading the flight
-- 
-- When leading the flight, you are expected to guide the escorts towards the target areas, 
-- and carefully coordinate the attack based on the threat levels reported, and the available weapons
-- carried by the escorts. Ground ships or ground troops can execute A-assisted attacks, when they have long-range ground precision weapons for attack.
-- 
-- ## Following the flight
-- 
-- Escorts can be commanded to execute a specific mission path. In this mode, the escorts are in the lead.
-- You as a player, are following the escorts, and are commanding them to progress the mission while
-- ensuring that the escorts survive. You are joining the escorts in the battlefield. They will detect and report targets
-- and you will ensure that the attacks are well coordinated, assigning the correct escort type for the detected target
-- type. Once the attack is finished, the escort will resume the mission it was assigned.
-- In other words, you can use the escorts for reconnaissance, and for guiding the attack.
-- Imagine you as a mi-8 pilot, assigned to pickup cargo. Two ka-50s are guiding the way, and you are
-- following. You are in control. The ka-50s detect targets, report them, and you command how the attack
-- will commence and from where. You can control where the escorts are holding position and which targets
-- are attacked first. You are in control how the ka-50s will follow their mission path.
-- 
-- Escorts can act as part of a AI A2G dispatcher offensive. In this way, You was a player are in control.
-- The mission is defined by the A2G dispatcher, and you are responsible to join the flight and ensure that the
-- attack is well coordinated.
-- 
-- It is with great proud that I present you this class, and I hope you will enjoy the functionality and the dynamism
-- it brings in your DCS world simulations.

-- # RADIO MENUs that can be created:
-- 
-- Find a summary below of the current available commands:
--
-- ## Navigation ...:
-- 
-- Escort group navigation functions:
--
--   * **"Join-Up":** The escort group fill follow you in the assigned formation.
--   * **"Flare":** Provides menu commands to let the escort group shoot a flare in the air in a color.
--   * **"Smoke":** Provides menu commands to let the escort group smoke the air in a color. Note that smoking is only available for ground and naval troops.
--
-- ## Hold position ...:
-- 
-- Escort group navigation functions:
--
--   * **"At current location":** The escort group will hover above the ground at the position they were. The altitude can be specified as a parameter.
--   * **"At my location":** The escort group will hover or orbit at the position where you are. The escort will fly to your location and hold position. The altitude can be specified as a parameter.
--
-- ## Report targets ...:
-- 
-- Report targets will make the escort group to report any target that it identifies within detection range. Any detected target can be attacked using the "Attack Targets" menu function. (see below).
--
--   * **"Report now":** Will report the current detected targets.
--   * **"Report targets on":** Will make the escorts to report the detected targets and will fill the "Attack Targets" menu list.
--   * **"Report targets off":** Will stop detecting targets.
--
-- ## Attack targets ...:
-- 
-- This menu item will list all detected targets within a 15km range. Depending on the level of detection (known/unknown) and visuality, the targets type will also be listed.
-- This menu will be available in Flight menu or in each Escort menu.
--
-- ## Scan targets ...:
-- 
-- Menu items to pop-up the escort group for target scanning. After scanning, the escort group will resume with the mission or rejoin formation.
--
--   * **"Scan targets 30 seconds":** Scan 30 seconds for targets.
--   * **"Scan targets 60 seconds":** Scan 60 seconds for targets.
--
-- ## Request assistance from ...:
-- 
-- This menu item will list all detected targets within a 15km range, similar as with the menu item **Attack Targets**.
-- This menu item allows to request attack support from other ground based escorts supporting the current escort.
-- eg. the function allows a player to request support from the Ship escort to attack a target identified by the Plane escort with its Tomahawk missiles.
-- eg. the function allows a player to request support from other Planes escorting to bomb the unit with illumination missiles or bombs, so that the main plane escort can attack the area.
--
-- ## ROE ...:
-- 
-- Sets the Rules of Engagement (ROE) of the escort group when in flight.
--
--   * **"Hold Fire":** The escort group will hold fire.
--   * **"Return Fire":** The escort group will return fire.
--   * **"Open Fire":** The escort group will open fire on designated targets.
--   * **"Weapon Free":** The escort group will engage with any target.
--
-- ## Evasion ...:
-- 
-- Will define the evasion techniques that the escort group will perform during flight or combat.
--
--   * **"Fight until death":** The escort group will have no reaction to threats.
--   * **"Use flares, chaff and jammers":** The escort group will use passive defense using flares and jammers. No evasive manoeuvres are executed.
--   * **"Evade enemy fire":** The rescort group will evade enemy fire before firing.
--   * **"Go below radar and evade fire":** The escort group will perform evasive vertical manoeuvres.
--
-- ## Resume Mission ...:
-- 
-- Escort groups can have their own mission. This menu item will allow the escort group to resume their Mission from a given waypoint.
-- Note that this is really fantastic, as you now have the dynamic of taking control of the escort groups, and allowing them to resume their path or mission.

--- **Functional** -- Taking the lead of AI escorting your flight or of other AI, upon request using the menu.
-- 
-- ===
-- 
-- ## Features:
-- 
--   * Escort navigation commands.
--   * Escort hold at position commands.
--   * Escorts reporting detected targets.
--   * Escorts scanning targets in advance.
--   * Escorts attacking specific targets.
--   * Request assistance from other groups for attack.
--   * Manage rule of engagement of escorts.
--   * Manage the allowed evasion techniques of escorts.
--   * Make escort to execute a defined mission or path.
--   * Escort tactical situation reporting.
-- 
-- ===
-- 
-- ## Missions:
-- 
-- [ESC - Escorting](https://github.com/FlightControl-Master/MOOSE_MISSIONS/tree/master/ESC%20-%20Escorting)
-- 
-- ===
-- 
-- Allows you to interact with escorting AI on your flight and take the lead.
-- 
-- Each escorting group can be commanded with a complete set of radio commands (radio menu in your flight, and then F10).
--
-- The radio commands will vary according the category of the group. The richest set of commands are with helicopters and airPlanes.
-- Ships and Ground troops will have a more limited set, but they can provide support through the bombing of targets designated by the other escorts.
-- 
-- Escorts detect targets using a built-in detection mechanism. The detected targets are reported at a specified time interval.
-- Once targets are reported, each escort has these targets as menu options to command the attack of these targets.
-- Targets are by default grouped per area of 5000 meters, but the kind of detection and the grouping range can be altered.
-- 
-- Different formations can be selected in the Flight menu: Trail, Stack, Left Line, Right Line, Left Wing, Right Wing, Central Wing and Boxed formations are available.
-- The Flight menu also allows for a mass attack, where all of the escorts are commanded to attack a target.
-- 
-- Escorts can emit flares to reports their location. They can be commanded to hold at a location, which can be their current or the leader location.
-- In this way, you can spread out the escorts over the battle field before a coordinated attack.
-- 
-- But basically, the escort class provides 4 modes of operation, and depending on the mode, you are either leading the flight, or following the flight.
-- 
-- ## Leading the flight
-- 
-- When leading the flight, you are expected to guide the escorts towards the target areas, 
-- and carefully coordinate the attack based on the threat levels reported, and the available weapons
-- carried by the escorts. Ground ships or ground troops can execute A-assisted attacks, when they have long-range ground precision weapons for attack.
-- 
-- ## Following the flight
-- 
-- Escorts can be commanded to execute a specific mission path. In this mode, the escorts are in the lead.
-- You as a player, are following the escorts, and are commanding them to progress the mission while
-- ensuring that the escorts survive. You are joining the escorts in the battlefield. They will detect and report targets
-- and you will ensure that the attacks are well coordinated, assigning the correct escort type for the detected target
-- type. Once the attack is finished, the escort will resume the mission it was assigned.
-- In other words, you can use the escorts for reconnaissance, and for guiding the attack.
-- Imagine you as a mi-8 pilot, assigned to pickup cargo. Two ka-50s are guiding the way, and you are
-- following. You are in control. The ka-50s detect targets, report them, and you command how the attack
-- will commence and from where. You can control where the escorts are holding position and which targets
-- are attacked first. You are in control how the ka-50s will follow their mission path.
-- 
-- Escorts can act as part of a AI A2G dispatcher offensive. In this way, You was a player are in control.
-- The mission is defined by the A2G dispatcher, and you are responsible to join the flight and ensure that the
-- attack is well coordinated.
-- 
-- It is with great proud that I present you this class, and I hope you will enjoy the functionality and the dynamism
-- it brings in your DCS world simulations.
-- 
-- # RADIO MENUs that can be created:
-- 
-- Find a summary below of the current available commands:
--
-- ## Navigation ...:
-- 
-- Escort group navigation functions:
--
--   * **"Join-Up":** The escort group fill follow you in the assigned formation.
--   * **"Flare":** Provides menu commands to let the escort group shoot a flare in the air in a color.
--   * **"Smoke":** Provides menu commands to let the escort group smoke the air in a color. Note that smoking is only available for ground and naval troops.
--
-- ## Hold position ...:
-- 
-- Escort group navigation functions:
--
--   * **"At current location":** The escort group will hover above the ground at the position they were. The altitude can be specified as a parameter.
--   * **"At my location":** The escort group will hover or orbit at the position where you are. The escort will fly to your location and hold position. The altitude can be specified as a parameter.
--
-- ## Report targets ...:
-- 
-- Report targets will make the escort group to report any target that it identifies within detection range. Any detected target can be attacked using the "Attack Targets" menu function. (see below).
--
--   * **"Report now":** Will report the current detected targets.
--   * **"Report targets on":** Will make the escorts to report the detected targets and will fill the "Attack Targets" menu list.
--   * **"Report targets off":** Will stop detecting targets.
--
-- ## Attack targets ...:
-- 
-- This menu item will list all detected targets within a 15km range. Depending on the level of detection (known/unknown) and visuality, the targets type will also be listed.
-- This menu will be available in Flight menu or in each Escort menu.
--
-- ## Scan targets ...:
-- 
-- Menu items to pop-up the escort group for target scanning. After scanning, the escort group will resume with the mission or rejoin formation.
--
--   * **"Scan targets 30 seconds":** Scan 30 seconds for targets.
--   * **"Scan targets 60 seconds":** Scan 60 seconds for targets.
--
-- ## Request assistance from ...:
-- 
-- This menu item will list all detected targets within a 15km range, similar as with the menu item **Attack Targets**.
-- This menu item allows to request attack support from other ground based escorts supporting the current escort.
-- eg. the function allows a player to request support from the Ship escort to attack a target identified by the Plane escort with its Tomahawk missiles.
-- eg. the function allows a player to request support from other Planes escorting to bomb the unit with illumination missiles or bombs, so that the main plane escort can attack the area.
--
-- ## ROE ...:
-- 
-- Sets the Rules of Engagement (ROE) of the escort group when in flight.
--
--   * **"Hold Fire":** The escort group will hold fire.
--   * **"Return Fire":** The escort group will return fire.
--   * **"Open Fire":** The escort group will open fire on designated targets.
--   * **"Weapon Free":** The escort group will engage with any target.
--
-- ## Evasion ...:
-- 
-- Will define the evasion techniques that the escort group will perform during flight or combat.
--
--   * **"Fight until death":** The escort group will have no reaction to threats.
--   * **"Use flares, chaff and jammers":** The escort group will use passive defense using flares and jammers. No evasive manoeuvres are executed.
--   * **"Evade enemy fire":** The rescort group will evade enemy fire before firing.
--   * **"Go below radar and evade fire":** The escort group will perform evasive vertical manoeuvres.
--
-- ## Resume Mission ...:
-- 
-- Escort groups can have their own mission. This menu item will allow the escort group to resume their Mission from a given waypoint.
-- Note that this is really fantastic, as you now have the dynamic of taking control of the escort groups, and allowing them to resume their path or mission.

-- ### Author: **FlightControl**

--
-- @module AI.AI_Cargo_APC
-- @image AI_Cargo_Dispatching_For_APC.JPG

--- @type AI_CARGO_APC
-- @extends AI.AI_Cargo#AI_CARGO


--- Brings a dynamic cargo handling capability for an AI vehicle group.
-- 
-- Armoured Personnel Carriers (APC), Trucks, Jeeps and other ground based carrier equipment can be mobilized to intelligently transport infantry and other cargo within the simulation.
-- 
-- The AI_CARGO_APC class uses the @{Cargo.Cargo} capabilities within the MOOSE framework.
-- @{Cargo.Cargo} must be declared within the mission to make the AI_CARGO_APC object recognize the cargo.
-- Please consult the @{Cargo.Cargo} module for more information. 
-- 
-- ## Cargo loading.
-- 
-- The module will load automatically cargo when the APCs are within boarding or loading radius.
-- The boarding or loading radius is specified when the cargo is created in the simulation, and therefore, this radius depends on the type of cargo
-- and the specified boarding radius.
-- 
-- ## **Defending** the APCs when enemies nearby.
-- 
-- Cargo will defend the carrier with its available arms, and to avoid cargo being lost within the battlefield.
--  
-- When the APCs are approaching enemy units, something special is happening. 
-- The APCs will stop moving, and the loaded infantry will unboard and follow the APCs and will help to defend the group.
-- The carrier will hold the route once the unboarded infantry is further than 50 meters from the APCs, 
-- to ensure that the APCs are not too far away from the following running infantry.
-- Once all enemies are cleared, the infantry will board again automatically into the APCs. Once boarded, the APCs will follow its pre-defined route.
-- 
-- A combat radius needs to be specified in meters at the @{#AI_CARGO_APC.New}() method. 
-- This combat radius will trigger the unboarding of troops when enemies are within the combat radius around the APCs.
-- During my tests, I've noticed that there is a balance between ensuring that the infantry is within sufficient hit radius (effectiveness) versus
-- vulnerability of the infantry. It all depends on the kind of enemies that are expected to be encountered. 
-- A combat radius of 350 meters to 500 meters has been proven to be the most effective and efficient.
-- 
-- However, when the defense of the carrier, is not required, it must be switched off.
-- This is done by disabling the defense of the carrier using the method @{#AI_CARGO_APC.SetCombatRadius}(), and providing a combat radius of 0 meters.
-- It can be switched on later when required by reenabling the defense using the method and providing a combat radius larger than 0.
-- 
-- ## Infantry or cargo **health**.
-- 
-- When infantry is unboarded from the APCs, the infantry is actually respawned into the battlefield. 
-- As a result, the unboarding infantry is very _healthy_ every time it unboards.
-- This is due to the limitation of the DCS simulator, which is not able to specify the health of new spawned units as a parameter.
-- However, infantry that was destroyed when unboarded and following the APCs, won't be respawned again. Destroyed is destroyed.
-- As a result, there is some additional strength that is gained when an unboarding action happens, but in terms of simulation balance this has
-- marginal impact on the overall battlefield simulation. Fortunately, the firing strength of infantry is limited, and thus, respacing healthy infantry every
-- time is not so much of an issue ... 
-- 
-- ## Control the APCs on the map.
-- 
-- It is possible also as a human ground commander to influence the path of the APCs, by pointing a new path using the DCS user interface on the map.
-- In this case, the APCs will change the direction towards its new indicated route. However, there is a catch!
-- Once the APCs are near the enemy, and infantry is unboarded, the APCs won't be able to hold the route until the infantry could catch up.
-- The APCs will simply drive on and won't stop! This is a limitation in ED that prevents user actions being controlled by the scripting engine.
-- No workaround is possible on this.
-- 
-- ## Cargo deployment.
--  
-- Using the @{#AI_CARGO_APC.Deploy}() method, you are able to direct the APCs towards a point on the battlefield to unboard/unload the cargo at the specific coordinate. 
-- The APCs will follow nearby roads as much as possible, to ensure fast and clean cargo transportation between the objects and villages in the simulation environment.
-- 
-- ## Cargo pickup.
--  
-- Using the @{#AI_CARGO_APC.Pickup}() method, you are able to direct the APCs towards a point on the battlefield to board/load the cargo at the specific coordinate. 
-- The APCs will follow nearby roads as much as possible, to ensure fast and clean cargo transportation between the objects and villages in the simulation environment.

--
-- @module AI.AI_Cargo_Helicopter
-- @image AI_Cargo_Dispatching_For_Helicopters.JPG

--- @type AI_CARGO_HELICOPTER
-- @extends Core.Fsm#FSM_CONTROLLABLE


--- Brings a dynamic cargo handling capability for an AI helicopter group.
--  
-- Helicopter carriers can be mobilized to intelligently transport infantry and other cargo within the simulation.
-- 
-- The AI_CARGO_HELICOPTER class uses the @{Cargo.Cargo} capabilities within the MOOSE framework.
-- @{Cargo.Cargo} must be declared within the mission to make the AI_CARGO_HELICOPTER object recognize the cargo.
-- Please consult the @{Cargo.Cargo} module for more information. 
-- 
-- ## Cargo pickup.
--  
-- Using the @{#AI_CARGO_HELICOPTER.Pickup}() method, you are able to direct the helicopters towards a point on the battlefield to board/load the cargo at the specific coordinate. 
-- Ensure that the landing zone is horizontally flat, and that trees cannot be found in the landing vicinity, or the helicopters won't land or will even crash!
-- 
-- ## Cargo deployment.
--  
-- Using the @{#AI_CARGO_HELICOPTER.Deploy}() method, you are able to direct the helicopters towards a point on the battlefield to unboard/unload the cargo at the specific coordinate. 
-- Ensure that the landing zone is horizontally flat, and that trees cannot be found in the landing vicinity, or the helicopters won't land or will even crash!
-- 
-- ## Infantry health.
-- 
-- When infantry is unboarded from the APCs, the infantry is actually respawned into the battlefield. 
-- As a result, the unboarding infantry is very _healthy_ every time it unboards.
-- This is due to the limitation of the DCS simulator, which is not able to specify the health of new spawned units as a parameter.
-- However, infantry that was destroyed when unboarded, won't be respawned again. Destroyed is destroyed.
-- As a result, there is some additional strength that is gained when an unboarding action happens, but in terms of simulation balance this has
-- marginal impact on the overall battlefield simulation. Fortunately, the firing strength of infantry is limited, and thus, respacing healthy infantry every
-- time is not so much of an issue ...

-- @module AI.AI_Cargo_Airplane
-- @image AI_Cargo_Dispatching_For_Airplanes.JPG

--- @type AI_CARGO_AIRPLANE
-- @extends Core.Fsm#FSM_CONTROLLABLE


--- Brings a dynamic cargo handling capability for an AI airplane group.
--  
-- Airplane carrier equipment can be mobilized to intelligently transport infantry and other cargo within the simulation between airbases.
-- 
-- The AI_CARGO_AIRPLANE module uses the @{Cargo.Cargo} capabilities within the MOOSE framework.
-- @{Cargo.Cargo} must be declared within the mission to make AI_CARGO_AIRPLANE recognize the cargo.
-- Please consult the @{Cargo.Cargo} module for more information. 
-- 
-- ## Cargo pickup.
--  
-- Using the @{#AI_CARGO_AIRPLANE.Pickup}() method, you are able to direct the helicopters towards a point on the battlefield to board/load the cargo at the specific coordinate. 
-- Ensure that the landing zone is horizontally flat, and that trees cannot be found in the landing vicinity, or the helicopters won't land or will even crash!
-- 
-- ## Cargo deployment.
--  
-- Using the @{#AI_CARGO_AIRPLANE.Deploy}() method, you are able to direct the helicopters towards a point on the battlefield to unboard/unload the cargo at the specific coordinate. 
-- Ensure that the landing zone is horizontally flat, and that trees cannot be found in the landing vicinity, or the helicopters won't land or will even crash!
-- 
-- ## Infantry health.
-- 
-- When infantry is unboarded from the APCs, the infantry is actually respawned into the battlefield. 
-- As a result, the unboarding infantry is very _healthy_ every time it unboards.
-- This is due to the limitation of the DCS simulator, which is not able to specify the health of new spawned units as a parameter.
-- However, infantry that was destroyed when unboarded, won't be respawned again. Destroyed is destroyed.
-- As a result, there is some additional strength that is gained when an unboarding action happens, but in terms of simulation balance this has
-- marginal impact on the overall battlefield simulation. Fortunately, the firing strength of infantry is limited, and thus, respacing healthy infantry every
-- time is not so much of an issue ...

-- 
-- # The dispatcher concept.
-- 
-- Carrier equipment can be mobilized to intelligently transport infantry and other cargo within the simulation.
-- The AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER module uses the @{Cargo.Cargo} capabilities within the MOOSE framework, to enable Carrier GROUP objects 
-- to transport @{Cargo.Cargo} towards several deploy zones.
-- @{Cargo.Cargo} must be declared within the mission to make the AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER object recognize the cargo.
-- Please consult the @{Cargo.Cargo} module for more information. 
-- 
-- 
-- ## Why cargo dispatching?
-- 
-- It provides a realistic way of distributing your army forces around the battlefield, and to provide a quick means of cargo transportation.
-- Instead of having troops or cargo to "appear" suddenly at certain locations, the dispatchers will pickup the cargo and transport it.
-- It also allows to enforce or retreat your army from certain zones when needed, using helicopters or APCs.
-- Airplanes can transport cargo over larger distances between the airfields.
-- 
-- 
-- ## What is a cargo object then?
-- 
-- In order to make use of the MOOSE cargo system, you need to **declare** the DCS objects as MOOSE cargo objects!
-- This sounds complicated, but it is actually quite simple.
-- 
-- See here an example:
-- 
--     local EngineerCargoGroup = CARGO_GROUP:New( GROUP:FindByName( "Engineers" ), "Workmaterials", "Engineers", 250 )
--     
-- The above code declares a MOOSE cargo object called `EngineerCargoGroup`.
-- It actually just refers to an infantry group created within the sim called `"Engineers"`.
-- The infantry group now becomes controlled by the MOOSE cargo object `EngineerCargoGroup`.
-- A MOOSE cargo object also has properties, like the type of cargo, the logical name, and the reporting range.
-- 
-- For more information, please consult the @{Cargo.Cargo} module documentation. Please read through it, because it will explain how to setup the cargo objects for use
-- within your dispatchers.
-- 
-- 
-- ## Do I need to do a lot of coding to setup a dispatcher?
-- 
-- No! It requires a bit of studying to set it up, but once you understand the different components that use the cargo dispatcher, it becomes very easy.
-- Also, the dispatchers work in a true dynamic environment. The carriers and cargo, pickup and deploy zones can be created dynamically in your mission,
-- and will automatically be recognized by the dispatcher.
-- 
-- 
-- ## Is the dispatcher causing a lot of CPU overhead?
-- 
-- A little yes, but once the cargo is properly loaded into the carrier, the CPU consumption is very little.
-- When infantry or vehicles board into a carrier, or unboard from a carrier, you may perceive certain performance lags.
-- We are working to minimize the impact of those.
-- That being said, the DCS simulator is limited. It is just impossible to deploy hundreds of cargo over the battlefield, hundreds of helicopters transporting, 
-- without any performance impact. The amount of helicopters that are active and flying in your simulation influences more the performance than the dispatchers.
-- It really comes down to trying it out and getting experienced with what is possible and what is not (or too much).
-- 
-- 
-- ## Are the dispatchers a "black box" in terms of the logic?
-- 
-- No. You can tailor the dispatcher mechanisms using event handlers, and create additional logic to enhance the behaviour and dynamism in your own mission.
-- The events are listed below, and so are the options, but here are a couple of examples of what is possible:
-- 
--    * You could handle the **Deployed** event, when all the cargo is unloaded from a carrier in the dispatcher.
--      Adding your own code to the event handler, you could move the deployed cargo (infantry) to specific points to engage in the battlefield.
--    
--    * When a carrier is picking up cargo, the *Pickup** event is triggered, and you can inform the coalition of this event, 
--      because it is an indication that troops are planned to join.
-- 
--    
-- ## Are there options that you can set to modify the behaviour of the carries?
-- 
-- Yes, there are options to configure:
-- 
--    * the location where carriers will park or land near the cargo for pickup. 
--    * the location where carriers will park or land in the deploy zone for cargo deployment.
--    * the height for airborne carriers when they fly to and from pickup and deploy zones.
--    * the speed of the carriers. This is an important parameter, because depending on the tactication situation, speed will influence the detection by radars.
-- 
-- 
-- ## Can the zones be of any zone type?
-- 
-- Yes, please ensure that the zones are declared using the @{Core.Zone} classes.
-- Possible zones that function at the moment are ZONE, ZONE_GROUP, ZONE_UNIT, ZONE_POLYGON.

-- # 2) AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER is a Finite State Machine.
-- 
-- This section must be read as follows. Each of the rows indicate a state transition, triggered through an event, and with an ending state of the event was executed.
-- The first column is the **From** state, the second column the **Event**, and the third column the **To** state.
-- 
-- So, each of the rows have the following structure.
-- 
--   * **From** => **Event** => **To**
-- 
-- Important to know is that an event can only be executed if the **current state** is the **From** state.
-- This, when an **Event** that is being triggered has a **From** state that is equal to the **Current** state of the state machine, the event will be executed,
-- and the resulting state will be the **To** state.
-- 
-- These are the different possible state transitions of this state machine implementation: 
-- 
--   * Idle => Start => Monitoring
--   * Monitoring => Monitor => Monitoring
--   * Monitoring => Stop => Idle
--      
--   * Monitoring => Pickup => Monitoring
--   * Monitoring => Load => Monitoring
--   * Monitoring => Loading => Monitoring
--   * Monitoring => Loaded => Monitoring
--   * Monitoring => PickedUp => Monitoring
--   * Monitoring => Deploy => Monitoring
--   * Monitoring => Unload => Monitoring
--   * Monitoring => Unloaded => Monitoring
--   * Monitoring => Deployed => Monitoring
--   * Monitoring => Home => Monitoring
--
-- ## 2.1) AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER States.
-- 
--   * **Monitoring**: The process is dispatching.
--   * **Idle**: The process is idle.
-- 
-- ## 2.2) AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER Events.
-- 
--   * **Start**: Start the transport process.
--   * **Stop**: Stop the transport process.
--   * **Monitor**: Monitor and take action.
--   
--   * **Pickup**: Pickup cargo.
--   * **Load**: Load the cargo.
--   * **Loading**: The dispatcher is coordinating the loading of a cargo.
--   * **Loaded**: Flag that the cargo is loaded.
--   * **PickedUp**: The dispatcher has loaded all requested cargo into the CarrierGroup.
--   * **Deploy**: Deploy cargo to a location.
--   * **Unload**: Unload the cargo.
--   * **Unloaded**: Flag that the cargo is unloaded.
--   * **Deployed**: All cargo is unloaded from the carriers in the group.
--   * **Home**: A Carrier is going home.

-- 
-- # 3) Enhance your mission scripts with **Tailored** Event Handling!
-- 
-- Use these methods to capture the events and tailor the events with your own code!
-- All classes derived from AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER can capture these events, and you can write your own code.
-- 
-- In order to properly capture the events, it is mandatory that you execute the following actions using your script:
-- 
--   * Copy / Paste the code section into your script.
--   * Change the CLASS literal to the object name you have in your script.
--   * Within the function, you can now write your own code!
--   * IntelliSense will recognize the type of the variables provided by the function. Note: the From, Event and To variables can be safely ignored, 
--     but you need to declare them as they are automatically provided by the event handling system of MOOSE.
-- 
-- You can send messages or fire off any other events within the code section. The sky is the limit!
-- 
-- Mission AID-CGO-140, AID-CGO-240 and AID-CGO-340 contain examples how these events can be tailored.
-- 
-- For those who don't have the time to check the test missions, find the underlying example of a Deployed event that is tailored.
--

--- **AI** -- (2.4) - Models the intelligent transportation of infantry and other cargo using APCs.
--
-- ## Features:
-- 
--   * Quickly transport cargo to various deploy zones using ground vehicles (APCs, trucks ...).
--   * Various @{Cargo.Cargo#CARGO} types can be transported. These are infantry groups and crates.
--   * Define a list of deploy zones of various types to transport the cargo to.
--   * The vehicles follow the roads to ensure the fastest possible cargo transportation over the ground.
--   * Multiple vehicles can transport multiple cargo as one vehicle group.
--   * Multiple vehicle groups can be enabled as one collaborating transportation process.
--   * Infantry loaded as cargo, will unboard in case enemies are nearby and will help defending the vehicles.
--   * Different ranges can be setup for enemy defenses.
--   * Different options can be setup to tweak the cargo transporation behaviour.

--- A dynamic cargo transportation capability for AI groups.
-- 
-- Armoured Personnel APCs (APC), Trucks, Jeeps and other carrier equipment can be mobilized to intelligently transport infantry and other cargo within the simulation.
-- 
-- The AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_APC module is derived from the AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER module.
-- 
-- ## Note! In order to fully understand the mechanisms of the AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_APC class, it is recommended that you first consult and READ the documentation of the @{AI.AI_Cargo_Dispatcher} module!!!
-- 
-- Especially to learn how to **Tailor the different cargo handling events**, this will be very useful!
-- 
-- On top, the AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_APC class uses the @{Cargo.Cargo} capabilities within the MOOSE framework.
-- Also ensure that you fully understand how to declare and setup Cargo objects within the MOOSE framework before using this class.
-- CARGO derived objects must be declared within the mission to make the AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_HELICOPTER object recognize the cargo.
-- 
-- 
-- # 1) AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_APC constructor.
--   
--   * @{#AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_APC.New}(): Creates a new AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_APC object.
-- 
-- ---
-- 
-- # 2) AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_APC is a Finite State Machine.
-- 
-- This section must be read as follows. Each of the rows indicate a state transition, triggered through an event, and with an ending state of the event was executed.
-- The first column is the **From** state, the second column the **Event**, and the third column the **To** state.
-- 
-- So, each of the rows have the following structure.
-- 
--   * **From** => **Event** => **To**
-- 
-- Important to know is that an event can only be executed if the **current state** is the **From** state.
-- This, when an **Event** that is being triggered has a **From** state that is equal to the **Current** state of the state machine, the event will be executed,
-- and the resulting state will be the **To** state.
-- 
-- These are the different possible state transitions of this state machine implementation: 
-- 
--   * Idle => Start => Monitoring
--   * Monitoring => Monitor => Monitoring
--   * Monitoring => Stop => Idle
--      
--   * Monitoring => Pickup => Monitoring
--   * Monitoring => Load => Monitoring
--   * Monitoring => Loading => Monitoring
--   * Monitoring => Loaded => Monitoring
--   * Monitoring => PickedUp => Monitoring
--   * Monitoring => Deploy => Monitoring
--   * Monitoring => Unload => Monitoring
--   * Monitoring => Unloaded => Monitoring
--   * Monitoring => Deployed => Monitoring
--   * Monitoring => Home => Monitoring
-- 
--      
-- ## 2.1) AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER States.
-- 
--   * **Monitoring**: The process is dispatching.
--   * **Idle**: The process is idle.
-- 
-- ## 2.2) AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER Events.
-- 
--   * **Start**: Start the transport process.
--   * **Stop**: Stop the transport process.
--   * **Monitor**: Monitor and take action.
--   
--   * **Pickup**: Pickup cargo.
--   * **Load**: Load the cargo.
--   * **Loading**: The dispatcher is coordinating the loading of a cargo.
--   * **Loaded**: Flag that the cargo is loaded.
--   * **PickedUp**: The dispatcher has loaded all requested cargo into the CarrierGroup.
--   * **Deploy**: Deploy cargo to a location.

-- 
-- ===
-- 
-- # @{#ACT_ASSIGN} FSM template class, extends @{Core.Fsm#FSM_PROCESS}
-- 
-- ## ACT_ASSIGN state machine:
-- 
-- This class is a state machine: it manages a process that is triggered by events causing state transitions to occur.
-- All derived classes from this class will start with the class name, followed by a \_. See the relevant derived class descriptions below.
-- Each derived class follows exactly the same process, using the same events and following the same state transitions, 
-- but will have **different implementation behaviour** upon each event or state transition.
-- 
-- ### ACT_ASSIGN **Events**:
-- 
-- These are the events defined in this class:
-- 
--   * **Start**:  Start the tasking acceptance process.
--   * **Assign**:  Assign the task.
--   * **Reject**:  Reject the task..
-- 
-- ### ACT_ASSIGN **Event methods**:
-- 
-- Event methods are available (dynamically allocated by the state machine), that accomodate for state transitions occurring in the process.
-- There are two types of event methods, which you can use to influence the normal mechanisms in the state machine:
-- 
--   * **Immediate**: The event method has exactly the name of the event.
--   * **Delayed**: The event method starts with a __ + the name of the event. The first parameter of the event method is a number value, expressing the delay in seconds when the event will be executed. 
-- 
-- ### ACT_ASSIGN **States**:
-- 
--   * **UnAssigned**: The player has not accepted the task.
--   * **Assigned (*)**: The player has accepted the task.
--   * **Rejected (*)**: The player has not accepted the task.
--   * **Waiting**: The process is awaiting player feedback.
--   * **Failed (*)**: The process has failed.
--   
-- (*) End states of the process.
--   
-- ### ACT_ASSIGN state transition methods:
-- 
-- State transition functions can be set **by the mission designer** customizing or improving the behaviour of the state.
-- There are 2 moments when state transition methods will be called by the state machine:
-- 
--   * **Before** the state transition. 
--     The state transition method needs to start with the name **OnBefore + the name of the state**. 
--     If the state transition method returns false, then the processing of the state transition will not be done!
--     If you want to change the behaviour of the AIControllable at this event, return false, 
--     but then you'll need to specify your own logic using the AIControllable!
--   
--   * **After** the state transition. 
--     The state transition method needs to start with the name **OnAfter + the name of the state**. 
--     These state transition methods need to provide a return value, which is specified at the function description.

-- 
-- # @{#ACT_ROUTE} FSM class, extends @{Core.Fsm#FSM_PROCESS}
-- 
-- ## ACT_ROUTE state machine:
-- 
-- This class is a state machine: it manages a process that is triggered by events causing state transitions to occur.
-- All derived classes from this class will start with the class name, followed by a \_. See the relevant derived class descriptions below.
-- Each derived class follows exactly the same process, using the same events and following the same state transitions, 
-- but will have **different implementation behaviour** upon each event or state transition.
-- 
-- ### ACT_ROUTE **Events**:
-- 
-- These are the events defined in this class:
-- 
--   * **Start**:  The process is started. The process will go into the Report state.
--   * **Report**: The process is reporting to the player the route to be followed.
--   * **Route**: The process is routing the controllable.
--   * **Pause**: The process is pausing the route of the controllable.
--   * **Arrive**: The controllable has arrived at a route point.
--   * **More**:  There are more route points that need to be followed. The process will go back into the Report state.
--   * **NoMore**:  There are no more route points that need to be followed. The process will go into the Success state.
-- 
-- ### ACT_ROUTE **Event methods**:
-- 
-- Event methods are available (dynamically allocated by the state machine), that accomodate for state transitions occurring in the process.
-- There are two types of event methods, which you can use to influence the normal mechanisms in the state machine:
-- 
--   * **Immediate**: The event method has exactly the name of the event.
--   * **Delayed**: The event method starts with a __ + the name of the event. The first parameter of the event method is a number value, expressing the delay in seconds when the event will be executed. 
-- 
-- ### ACT_ROUTE **States**:
-- 
--   * **None**: The controllable did not receive route commands.
--   * **Arrived (*)**: The controllable has arrived at a route point.
--   * **Aborted (*)**: The controllable has aborted the route path.
--   * **Routing**: The controllable is understay to the route point.
--   * **Pausing**: The process is pausing the routing. AI air will go into hover, AI ground will stop moving. Players can fly around.
--   * **Success (*)**: All route points were reached. 
--   * **Failed (*)**: The process has failed.
--   
-- (*) End states of the process.
--   
-- ### ACT_ROUTE state transition methods:
-- 
-- State transition functions can be set **by the mission designer** customizing or improving the behaviour of the state.
-- There are 2 moments when state transition methods will be called by the state machine:
-- 
--   * **Before** the state transition. 
--     The state transition method needs to start with the name **OnBefore + the name of the state**. 
--     If the state transition method returns false, then the processing of the state transition will not be done!
--     If you want to change the behaviour of the AIControllable at this event, return false, 
--     but then you'll need to specify your own logic using the AIControllable!
--   
--   * **After** the state transition. 
--     The state transition method needs to start with the name **OnAfter + the name of the state**. 
--     These state transition methods need to provide a return value, which is specified at the function description.

-- # 1) @{#ACT_ROUTE_ZONE} class, extends @{Core.Fsm.Route#ACT_ROUTE}
-- 
-- The ACT_ROUTE_ZONE class implements the core functions to route an AIR @{Wrapper.Controllable} player @{Wrapper.Unit} to a @{Zone}.
-- The player receives on perioding times messages with the coordinates of the route to follow. 
-- Upon arrival at the zone, a confirmation of arrival is sent, and the process will be ended.
-- 
-- # 1.1) ACT_ROUTE_ZONE constructor:
--   
--   * @{#ACT_ROUTE_ZONE.New}(): Creates a new ACT_ROUTE_ZONE object.

  --   
  -- ### ACT_ACCOUNT state transition methods:
  -- 
  -- State transition functions can be set **by the mission designer** customizing or improving the behaviour of the state.
  -- There are 2 moments when state transition methods will be called by the state machine:
  -- 
  --   * **Before** the state transition. 
  --     The state transition method needs to start with the name **OnBefore + the name of the state**. 
  --     If the state transition method returns false, then the processing of the state transition will not be done!
  --     If you want to change the behaviour of the AIControllable at this event, return false, 
  --     but then you'll need to specify your own logic using the AIControllable!
  --   
  --   * **After** the state transition. 
  --     The state transition method needs to start with the name **OnAfter + the name of the state**. 
  --     These state transition methods need to provide a return value, which is specified at the function description.

-- 
-- ## ACT_ASSIST state machine:
-- 
-- This class is a state machine: it manages a process that is triggered by events causing state transitions to occur.
-- All derived classes from this class will start with the class name, followed by a \_. See the relevant derived class descriptions below.
-- Each derived class follows exactly the same process, using the same events and following the same state transitions, 
-- but will have **different implementation behaviour** upon each event or state transition.
-- 
-- ### ACT_ASSIST **Events**:
-- 
-- These are the events defined in this class:
-- 
--   * **Start**:  The process is started.
--   * **Next**: The process is smoking the targets in the given zone.
-- 
-- ### ACT_ASSIST **Event methods**:
-- 
-- Event methods are available (dynamically allocated by the state machine), that accomodate for state transitions occurring in the process.
-- There are two types of event methods, which you can use to influence the normal mechanisms in the state machine:
-- 
--   * **Immediate**: The event method has exactly the name of the event.
--   * **Delayed**: The event method starts with a __ + the name of the event. The first parameter of the event method is a number value, expressing the delay in seconds when the event will be executed. 
-- 
-- ### ACT_ASSIST **States**:
-- 
--   * **None**: The controllable did not receive route commands.
--   * **AwaitSmoke (*)**: The process is awaiting to smoke the targets in the zone.
--   * **Smoking (*)**: The process is smoking the targets in the zone.
--   * **Failed (*)**: The process has failed.
--   
-- (*) End states of the process.
--   
-- ### ACT_ASSIST state transition methods:
-- 
-- State transition functions can be set **by the mission designer** customizing or improving the behaviour of the state.
-- There are 2 moments when state transition methods will be called by the state machine:
-- 
--   * **Before** the state transition. 
--     The state transition method needs to start with the name **OnBefore + the name of the state**. 
--     If the state transition method returns false, then the processing of the state transition will not be done!
--     If you want to change the behaviour of the AIControllable at this event, return false, 
--     but then you'll need to specify your own logic using the AIControllable!
--   
--   * **After** the state transition. 
--     The state transition method needs to start with the name **OnAfter + the name of the state**. 
--     These state transition methods need to provide a return value, which is specified at the function description.

--- The COMMANDCENTER class
-- @type COMMANDCENTER
-- @field Wrapper.Group#GROUP HQ
-- @field DCS#coalition CommandCenterCoalition
-- @list<Tasking.Mission#MISSION> Missions
-- @extends Core.Base#BASE


--- Governs multiple missions, the tasking and the reporting.
--  
-- Command centers govern missions, communicates the task assignments between human players of the coalition, and manages the menu flow.
-- It can assign a random task to a player when requested.
-- The commandcenter provides the facilitites to communicate between human players online, executing a task.
--  
-- ## 1. Create a command center object.
--
--   * @{#COMMANDCENTER.New}(): Creates a new COMMANDCENTER object.
-- 
-- ## 2. Command center mission management.
-- 
-- Command centers manage missions. These can be added, removed and provides means to retrieve missions.
-- These methods are heavily used by the task dispatcher classes.
-- 
--   * @{#COMMANDCENTER.AddMission}(): Adds a mission to the commandcenter control.
--   * @{#COMMANDCENTER.RemoveMission}(): Removes a mission to the commandcenter control.
--   * @{#COMMANDCENTER.GetMissions}(): Retrieves the missions table controlled by the commandcenter.
-- 
-- ## 3. Communication management between players. 
-- 
-- Command center provide means of communication between players. 
-- Because a command center is a central object governing multiple missions,  
-- there are several levels at which communication needs to be done.
-- Within MOOSE, communication is facilitated using the message system within the DCS simulator.
-- 
-- Messages can be sent between players at various levels:
-- 
--   - On a global level, to all players.
--   - On a coalition level, only to the players belonging to the same coalition.
--   - On a group level, to the players belonging to the same group.
--   
-- Messages can be sent to **all players** by the command center using the method @{Tasking.CommandCenter#COMMANDCENTER.MessageToAll}().
-- 
-- To send messages to **the coalition of the command center**, there are two methods available:
--  
--   - Use the method @{Tasking.CommandCenter#COMMANDCENTER.MessageToCoalition}() to send a specific message to the coalition, with a given message display duration.
--   - You can send a specific type of message using the method @{Tasking.CommandCenter#COMMANDCENTER.MessageTypeToCoalition}().
--     This will send a message of a specific type to the coalition, and as a result its display duration will be flexible according the message display time selection by the human player.
--     
-- To send messages **to the group** of human players, there are also two methods available:
-- 
--   - Use the method @{Tasking.CommandCenter#COMMANDCENTER.MessageToGroup}() to send a specific message to a group, with a given message display duration.
--   - You can send a specific type of message using the method @{Tasking.CommandCenter#COMMANDCENTER.MessageTypeToGroup}().
--     This will send a message of a specific type to the group, and as a result its display duration will be flexible according the message display time selection by the human player .
--     
-- Messages are considered to be sometimes disturbing for human players, therefore, the settings menu provides the means to activate or deactivate messages.
-- For more information on the message types and display timings that can be selected and configured using the menu, refer to the @{Core.Settings} menu description.
--     
-- ## 4. Command center detailed methods.
-- 
-- Various methods are added to manage command centers.
-- 
-- ### 4.1. Naming and description.
-- 
-- There are 3 methods that can be used to retrieve the description of a command center:
-- 
--   - Use the method @{Tasking.CommandCenter#COMMANDCENTER.GetName}() to retrieve the name of the command center. 
--     This is the name given as part of the @{Tasking.CommandCenter#COMMANDCENTER.New}() constructor.
--     The returned name using this method, is not to be used for message communication.
-- 
-- A textual description can be retrieved that provides the command center name to be used within message communication:
-- 
--   - @{Tasking.CommandCenter#COMMANDCENTER.GetShortText}() returns the command center name as `CC [CommandCenterName]`.
--   - @{Tasking.CommandCenter#COMMANDCENTER.GetText}() returns the command center name as `Command Center [CommandCenterName]`.
-- 
-- ### 4.2. The coalition of the command center.
-- 
-- The method @{Tasking.CommandCenter#COMMANDCENTER.GetCoalition}() returns the coalition of the command center.
-- The return value is an enumeration of the type @{DCS#coalition.side}, which contains the RED, BLUE and NEUTRAL coalition. 
-- 
-- ### 4.3. The command center is a real object.
-- 
-- The command center must be represented by a live object within the DCS simulator. As a result, the command center   
-- can be a @{Wrapper.Unit}, a @{Wrapper.Group}, an @{Wrapper.Airbase} or a @{Wrapper.Static} object.
-- 
-- Using the method @{Tasking.CommandCenter#COMMANDCENTER.GetPositionable}() you retrieve the polymorphic positionable object representing
-- the command center, but just be aware that you should be able to use the representable object derivation methods.
-- 
-- ### 5. Command center reports.
-- 
-- Because a command center giverns multiple missions, there are several reports available that are generated by command centers.
-- These reports are generated using the following methods:
-- 
--   - @{Tasking.CommandCenter#COMMANDCENTER.ReportSummary}(): Creates a summary report of all missions governed by the command center.
--   - @{Tasking.CommandCenter#COMMANDCENTER.ReportDetails}(): Creates a detailed report of all missions governed by the command center.
--   - @{Tasking.CommandCenter#COMMANDCENTER.ReportMissionPlayers}(): Creates a report listing the players active at the missions governed by the command center.
--   
-- ## 6. Reference Zones.
-- 
-- Command Centers may be aware of certain Reference Zones within the battleground. These Reference Zones can refer to
-- known areas, recognizable buildings or sites, or any other point of interest.
-- Command Centers will use these Reference Zones to help pilots with defining coordinates in terms of navigation
-- during the WWII era.
-- The Reference Zones are related to the WWII mode that the Command Center will operate in.
-- Use the method @{#COMMANDCENTER.SetModeWWII}() to set the mode of communication to the WWII mode.
-- 
-- In WWII mode, the Command Center will receive detected targets, and will select for each target the closest
-- nearby Reference Zone. This allows pilots to navigate easier through the battle field readying for combat.
-- 
-- The Reference Zones need to be set by the Mission Designer in the Mission Editor.
-- Reference Zones are set by normal trigger zones. One can color the zones in a specific color, 
-- and the radius of the zones doesn't matter, only the point is important. Place the center of these Reference Zones at
-- specific scenery objects or points of interest (like cities, rivers, hills, crossing etc).
-- The trigger zones indicating a Reference Zone need to follow a specific syntax.
-- The name of each trigger zone expressing a Reference Zone need to start with a classification name of the object,
-- followed by a #, followed by a symbolic name of the Reference Zone.
-- A few examples:
-- 
--   * A church at Tskinvali would be indicated as: *Church#Tskinvali*
--   * A train station near Kobuleti would be indicated as: *Station#Kobuleti*
--   
-- The COMMANDCENTER class contains a method to indicate which trigger zones need to be used as Reference Zones.
-- This is done by using the method @{#COMMANDCENTER.SetReferenceZones}().
-- For the moment, only one Reference Zone class can be specified, but in the future, more classes will become possible.
-- 
-- ## 7. Tasks.
-- 
-- ### 7.1. Automatically assign tasks.
-- 
-- One of the most important roles of the command center is the management of tasks.
-- The command center can assign automatically tasks to the players using the @{Tasking.CommandCenter#COMMANDCENTER.SetAutoAssignTasks}() method.
-- When this method is used with a parameter true; the command center will scan at regular intervals which players in a slot are not having a task assigned.
-- For those players; the tasking is enabled to assign automatically a task.
-- An Assign Menu will be accessible for the player under the command center menu, to configure the automatic tasking to switched on or off.
-- 
-- ### 7.2. Automatically accept assigned tasks.
-- 
-- When a task is assigned; the mission designer can decide if players are immediately assigned to the task; or they can accept/reject the assigned task.
-- Use the method @{Tasking.CommandCenter#COMMANDCENTER.SetAutoAcceptTasks}() to configure this behaviour.
-- If the tasks are not automatically accepted; the player will receive a message that he needs to access the command center menu and
-- choose from 2 added menu options either to accept or reject the assigned task within 30 seconds.
-- If the task is not accepted within 30 seconds; the task will be cancelled and a new task will be assigned.

-- 
-- A mission contains multiple tasks and can be of different task types.
-- These tasks need to be assigned to human players to be executed.
-- 
-- A mission can have multiple states, which will evolve as the mission progresses during the DCS simulation.
-- 
--   - **IDLE**: The mission is defined, but not started yet. No task has yet been joined by a human player as part of the mission.
--   - **ENGAGED**: The mission is ongoing, players have joined tasks to be executed.
--   - **COMPLETED**: The goals of the mission has been successfully reached, and the mission is flagged as completed.
--   - **FAILED**: For a certain reason, the goals of the mission has not been reached, and the mission is flagged as failed.
--   - **HOLD**: The mission was enaged, but for some reason it has been put on hold.
--   
-- Note that a mission goals need to be checked by a goal check trigger: @{#MISSION.OnBeforeMissionGoals}(), which may return false if the goal has not been reached.
-- This goal is checked automatically by the mission object every x seconds.
-- 
--   - @{#MISSION.Start}() or @{#MISSION.__Start}() will start the mission, and will bring it from **IDLE** state to **ENGAGED** state.
--   - @{#MISSION.Stop}() or @{#MISSION.__Stop}() will stop the mission, and will bring it from **ENGAGED** state to **IDLE** state.
--   - @{#MISSION.Complete}() or @{#MISSION.__Complete}() will complete the mission, and will bring the mission state to **COMPLETED**.
--     Note that the mission must be in state **ENGAGED** to be able to complete the mission.
--   - @{#MISSION.Fail}() or @{#MISSION.__Fail}() will fail the mission, and will bring the mission state to **FAILED**.
--     Note that the mission must be in state **ENGAGED** to be able to fail the mission.
--   - @{#MISSION.Hold}() or @{#MISSION.__Hold}() will hold the mission, and will bring the mission state to **HOLD**.
--     Note that the mission must be in state **ENGAGED** to be able to hold the mission.
--     Re-engage the mission using the engage trigger.
-- 
-- The following sections provide an overview of the most important methods that can be used as part of a mission object.
-- Note that the @{Tasking.CommandCenter} system is using most of these methods to manage the missions in its system.
-- 
-- ## 1. Create a mission object.
--
--   - @{#MISSION.New}(): Creates a new MISSION object.
-- 
-- ## 2. Mission task management.
-- 
-- Missions maintain tasks, which can be added or removed, or enquired.
-- 
--   - @{#MISSION.AddTask}(): Adds a task to the mission.
--   - @{#MISSION.RemoveTask}(): Removes a task from the mission.
-- 
-- ## 3. Mission detailed methods.
-- 
-- Various methods are added to manage missions.
-- 
-- ### 3.1. Naming and description.
-- 
-- There are several methods that can be used to retrieve the properties of a mission:
-- 
--   - Use the method @{#MISSION.GetName}() to retrieve the name of the mission. 
--     This is the name given as part of the @{#MISSION.New}() constructor.
-- 
-- A textual description can be retrieved that provides the mission name to be used within message communication:
-- 
--   - @{#MISSION.GetShortText}() returns the mission name as `Mission "MissionName"`.
--   - @{#MISSION.GetText}() returns the mission  name as `Mission "MissionName (MissionPriority)"`. A longer version including the priority text of the mission.
-- 
-- ### 3.2. Get task information.
-- 
--   - @{#MISSION.GetTasks}(): Retrieves a list of the tasks controlled by the mission.
--   - @{#MISSION.GetTask}(): Retrieves a specific task controlled by the mission.
--   - @{#MISSION.GetTasksRemaining}(): Retrieve a list of the tasks that aren't finished or failed, and are governed by the mission.
--   - @{#MISSION.GetGroupTasks}(): Retrieve a list of the tasks that can be asigned to a @{Wrapper.Group}.
--   - @{#MISSION.GetTaskTypes}(): Retrieve a list of the different task types governed by the mission.
-- 
-- ### 3.3. Get the command center.
-- 
--   - @{#MISSION.GetCommandCenter}(): Retrieves the @{Tasking.CommandCenter} governing the mission.
-- 
-- ### 3.4. Get the groups active in the mission as a @{Core.Set}.
-- 
--   - @{#MISSION.GetGroups}(): Retrieves a @{Core.Set#SET_GROUP} of all the groups active in the mission (as part of the tasks).
--   
-- ### 3.5. Get the names of the players.
-- 
--   - @{#MISSION.GetPlayerNames}(): Retrieves the list of the players that were active within th mission..
-- 
-- ## 4. Menu management.
-- 
-- A mission object is able to manage its own menu structure. Use the @{#MISSION.GetMenu}() and @{#MISSION.SetMenu}() to manage the underlying submenu
-- structure managing the tasks of the mission.
-- 
-- ## 5. Reporting management.
--  
-- Several reports can be generated for a mission, and will return a text string that can be used to display using the @{Core.Message} system.
-- 
--   - @{#MISSION.ReportBriefing}(): Generates the briefing for the mission.
--   - @{#MISSION.ReportOverview}(): Generates an overview of the tasks and status of the mission.
--   - @{#MISSION.ReportDetails}(): Generates a detailed report of the tasks of the mission.
--   - @{#MISSION.ReportSummary}(): Generates a summary report of the tasks of the mission.
--   - @{#MISSION.ReportPlayersPerTask}(): Generates a report showing the active players per task.
--   - @{#MISSION.ReportPlayersProgress}(): Generates a report showing the task progress per player.

--- **Tasking** -- A task object governs the main engine to administer human taskings.
-- 
-- **Features:**
-- 
--   * A base class for other task classes filling in the details and making a concrete task process.
--   * Manage the overall task execution, following-up the progression made by the pilots and actors.
--   * Provide a mechanism to set a task status, depending on the progress made within the task.
--   * Manage a task briefing.
--   * Manage the players executing the task.
--   * Manage the task menu system.
--   * Manage the task goal and scoring.
-- 
-- ===
-- 
-- # 1) Tasking from a player perspective.
-- 
-- Tasking can be controlled by using the "other" menu in the radio menu of the player group.
-- 
-- ![Other Menu](../Tasking/Menu_Main.JPG)
-- 
-- ## 1.1) Command Centers govern multiple Missions.
-- 
-- Depending on the tactical situation, your coalition may have one (or multiple) command center(s).
-- These command centers govern one (or multiple) mission(s).
-- 
-- For each command center, there will be a separate **Command Center Menu** that focuses on the missions governed by that command center.
-- 
-- ![Command Center](../Tasking/Menu_CommandCenter.JPG)
-- 
-- In the above example menu structure, there is one command center with the name **`[Lima]`**.
-- The command center has one @{Tasking.Mission}, named **`"Overlord"`** with **`High`** priority.
-- 
-- ## 1.2) Missions govern multiple Tasks.
-- 
-- A mission has a mission goal to be achieved by the players within the coalition.
-- The mission goal is actually dependent on the tactical situation of the overall battlefield and the conditions set to achieve the goal.
-- So a mission can be much more than just shoot stuff ... It can be a combination of different conditions or events to complete a mission goal.
-- 
-- A mission can be in a specific state during the simulation run. For more information about these states, please check the @{Tasking.Mission} section.
-- 
-- To achieve the mission goal, a mission administers @{Tasking.Task}s that are set to achieve the mission goal by the human players.
-- Each of these tasks can be **dynamically created** using a task dispatcher, or **coded** by the mission designer.
-- Each mission has a separate **Mission Menu**, that focuses on the administration of these tasks.
-- 
-- On top, a mission has a mission briefing, can help to allocate specific points of interest on the map, and provides various reports.
-- 
-- ![Mission](../Tasking/Menu_Mission.JPG)
-- 
-- The above shows a mission menu in detail of **`"Overlord"`**.
-- 
-- The two other menus are related to task assignment. Which will be detailed later.
-- 
-- ### 1.2.1) Mission briefing.
-- 
-- The task briefing will show a message containing a description of the mission goal, and other tactical information.
-- 
-- ![Mission](../Tasking/Report_Briefing.JPG)
-- 
-- ### 1.2.2) Mission Map Locations.
-- 
-- Various points of interest as part of the mission can be indicated on the map using the *Mark Task Locations on Map* menu.
-- As a result, the map will contain various points of interest for the player (group).
-- 
-- ![Mission](../Tasking/Report_Mark_Task_Location.JPG)
-- 
-- ### 1.2.3) Mission Task Reports.
-- 
-- Various reports can be generated on the status of each task governed within the mission.
-- 
-- ![Mission](../Tasking/Report_Task_Summary.JPG)
-- 
-- The Task Overview Report will show each task, with its task status and a short coordinate information.
-- 
-- ![Mission](../Tasking/Report_Tasks_Planned.JPG)
-- 
-- The other Task Menus will show for each task more details, for example here the planned tasks report. 
-- Note that the order of the tasks are shortest distance first to the unit position seated by the player.
-- 
-- ### 1.2.4) Mission Statistics.
-- 
-- Various statistics can be displayed regarding the mission.
-- 
-- ![Mission](../Tasking/Report_Statistics_Progress.JPG)
-- 
-- A statistic report on the progress of the mission. Each task achievement will increase the %-tage to 100% as a goal to complete the task.
-- 
-- ## 1.3) Join a Task.
-- 
-- The mission menu contains a very important option, that is to join a task governed within the mission.
-- In order to join a task, select the **Join Planned Task** menu, and a new menu will be given.
-- 
-- ![Mission](../Tasking/Menu_Join_Planned_Tasks.JPG)
-- 
-- A mission governs multiple tasks, as explained earlier. Each task is of a certain task type.
-- This task type was introduced to have some sort of task classification system in place for the player.
-- A short acronym is shown that indicates the task type. The meaning of each acronym can be found in the task types explanation.
-- 
-- ![Mission](../Tasking/Menu_Join_Tasks.JPG)
-- 
-- When the player selects a task type, a list of the available tasks of that type are listed...
-- In this case the **`SEAD`** task type was selected and a list of available **`SEAD`** tasks can be selected.
-- 
-- ![Mission](../Tasking/Menu_Join_Planned_Task.JPG)
-- 
-- A new list of menu options are now displayed that allow to join the task selected, but also to obtain first some more information on the task.
-- 
-- ### 1.3.1) Report Task Details.
-- 
-- ![Mission](../Tasking/Report_Task_Detailed.JPG)
-- 
-- When selected, a message is displayed that shows detailed information on the task, like the coordinate, enemy target information, threat level etc.
-- 
-- ### 1.3.2) Mark Task Location on Map.
-- 
-- ![Mission](../Tasking/Report_Task_Detailed.JPG)
-- 
-- When selected, the target location on the map is indicated with specific information on the task.
-- 
-- ### 1.3.3) Join Task.
-- 
-- ![Mission](../Tasking/Report_Task_Detailed.JPG)
-- 
-- By joining a task, the player will indicate that the task is assigned to him, and the task is started.
-- The Command Center will communicate several task details to the player and the coalition of the player.
-- 
-- ## 1.4) Task Control and Actions.
-- 
-- ![Mission](../Tasking/Menu_Main_Task.JPG)
-- 
-- When a player has joined a task, a **Task Action Menu** is available to be used by the player. 
--
-- ![Mission](../Tasking/Menu_Task.JPG)
-- 
-- The task action menu contains now menu items specific to the task, but also one generic menu item, which is to control the task.
-- This **Task Control Menu** allows to display again the task details and the task map location information.
-- But it also allows to abort a task!
-- 
-- Depending on the task type, the task action menu can contain more menu items which are specific to the task.
-- For example, cargo transportation tasks will contain various additional menu items to select relevant cargo coordinates,
-- or to load/unload cargo.
-- 
-- ## 1.5) Automatic task assignment.
-- 
-- ![Command Center](../Tasking/Menu_CommandCenter.JPG)
-- 
-- When we take back the command center menu, you see two addtional **Assign Task** menu items.
-- The menu **Assign Task On** will automatically allocate a task to the player.
-- After the selection of this menu, the menu will change into **Assign Task Off**,
-- and will need to be selected again by the player to switch of the automatic task assignment.
-- 
-- The other option is to select **Assign Task**, which will assign a new random task to the player.
-- 
-- When a task is automatically assigned to a player, the task needs to be confirmed as accepted within 30 seconds.
-- If this is not the case, the task will be cancelled automatically, and a new random task will be assigned to the player.
-- This will continue to happen until the player accepts the task or switches off the automatic task assignment process.
-- 
-- The player can accept the task using the menu **Confirm Task Acceptance** ...
-- 
-- ## 1.6) Task states.
-- 
-- A task has a state, reflecting the progress or completion status of the task:
-- 
--   - **Planned**: Expresses that the task is created, but not yet in execution and is not assigned yet to a pilot.
--   - **Assigned**: Expresses that the task is assigned to a group of pilots, and that the task is in execution mode.
--   - **Success**: Expresses the successful execution and finalization of the task.
--   - **Failed**: Expresses the failure of a task.
--   - **Abort**: Expresses that the task is aborted by by the player using the abort menu.
--   - **Cancelled**: Expresses that the task is cancelled by HQ or through a logical situation where a cancellation of the task is required.
-- 
-- ### 1.6.1) Task progress.
-- 
-- The task governor takes care of the **progress** and **completion** of the task **goal(s)**.
-- Tasks are executed by **human pilots** and actors within a DCS simulation.
-- Pilots can use a **menu system** to engage or abort a task, and provides means to
-- understand the **task briefing** and goals, and the relevant **task locations** on the map and 
-- obtain **various reports** related to the task.
-- 
-- ### 1.6.2) Task completion.
-- 
-- As the task progresses, the **task status** will change over time, from Planned state to Completed state.
-- **Multiple pilots** can execute the same task, as such, the tasking system provides a **co-operative model** for joint task execution.
-- Depending on the task progress, a **scoring** can be allocated to award pilots of the achievements made.
-- The scoring is fully flexible, and different levels of awarding can be provided depending on the task type and complexity.
-- 
-- A normal flow of task status would evolve from the **Planned** state, to the **Assigned** state ending either in a **Success** or a **Failed** state.
-- 
--      Planned -> Assigned -> Success
--                          -> Failed
--                          -> Cancelled
--                          
-- The state completion is by default set to **Success**, if the goals of the task have been reached, but can be overruled by a goal method.
-- 
-- Depending on the tactical situation, a task can be **Cancelled** by the mission governer.
-- It is actually the mission designer who has the flexibility to decide at which conditions a task would be set to **Success**, **Failed** or **Cancelled**.
-- This decision all depends on the task goals, and the phase/evolution of the task conditions that would accomplish the goals.
-- 
-- For example, if the task goal is to merely destroy a target, and the target is mid-mission destroyed by another event than the pilot destroying the target,
-- the task goal could be set to **Failed**, or .. **Cancelled** ...
-- However, it could very well be also acceptable that the task would be flagged as **Success**.
-- 
-- The tasking mechanism governs beside the progress also a scoring mechanism, and in case of goal completion without any active pilot involved
-- in the execution of the task, could result in a **Success** task completion status, but no score would be awared, as there were no players involved. 
-- 
-- These different completion states are important for the mission designer to reflect scoring to a player.
-- A success could mean a positive score to be given, while a failure could mean a negative score or penalties to be awarded.

-- 
-- 
-- # 2) Task status events.
-- 
-- The task statuses can be set by using the following methods:
-- 
--   - @{#TASK.Success}() - Set the task to **Success** state.
--   - @{#TASK.Fail}() - Set the task to **Failed** state.
--   - @{#TASK.Hold}() - Set the task to **Hold** state.
--   - @{#TASK.Abort}() - Set the task to **Aborted** state, aborting the task. The task may be replanned.
--   - @{#TASK.Cancel}() - Set the task to **Cancelled** state, cancelling the task.
-- 
-- The mentioned derived TASK_ classes are implementing the task status transitions out of the box.
-- So no extra logic needs to be written.
--   
-- # 3) Goal conditions for a task.
-- 
-- Every 30 seconds, a @{#Task.Goal} trigger method is fired. 
-- You as a mission designer, can capture the **Goal** event trigger to check your own task goal conditions and take action!
-- 
-- ## 3.1) Goal event handler `OnAfterGoal()`.
-- 
-- And this is a really great feature! Imagine a task which has **several conditions to check** before the task can move into **Success** state.
-- You can do this with the OnAfterGoal method.
-- 
-- The following code provides an example of such a goal condition check implementation.
-- 
--      function Task:OnAfterGoal()
--        if condition == true then
--          self:Success() -- This will flag the task to Succcess when the condition is true.
--        else
--          if condition2 == true and condition3 == true then
--            self:Fail() -- This will flag the task to Failed, when condition2 and condition3 would be true.
--          end
--        end
--      end
-- 
-- So the @{#TASK.OnAfterGoal}() event handler would be called every 30 seconds automatically, 
-- and within this method, you can now check the conditions and take respective action.
-- 
-- ## 3.2) Goal event trigger `Goal()`.
-- 
-- If you would need to check a goal at your own defined event timing, then just call the @{#TASK.Goal}() method within your logic.
-- The @{#TASK.OnAfterGoal}() event handler would then directly be called and would execute the logic. 
-- Note that you can also delay the goal check by using the delayed event trigger syntax `:__Goal( Delay )`. 
-- 
-- 
-- # 4) Score task completion.
-- 
-- Upon reaching a certain task status in a task, additional scoring can be given. If the Mission has a scoring system attached, the scores will be added to the mission scoring.
-- Use the method @{#TASK.AddScore}() to add scores when a status is reached.
-- 
-- # 5) Task briefing.
-- 
-- A task briefing is a text that is shown to the player when he is assigned to the task.
-- The briefing is broadcasted by the command center owning the mission.
-- 
-- The briefing is part of the parameters in the @{#TASK.New}() constructor, 
-- but can separately be modified later in your mission using the
-- @{#TASK.SetBriefing}() method.
-- 
-- 
-- @field #TASK TASK
--

-- 
-- 1) @{Tasking.Task_Manager#TASK_MANAGER} class, extends @{Core.Fsm#FSM}
-- ===
-- The @{Tasking.Task_Manager#TASK_MANAGER} class defines the core functions to report tasks to groups.
-- Reportings can be done in several manners, and it is up to the derived classes if TASK_MANAGER to model the reporting behaviour.
-- 
-- 1.1) TASK_MANAGER constructor:
-- -----------------------------------
--   * @{Tasking.Task_Manager#TASK_MANAGER.New}(): Create a new TASK_MANAGER instance.
-- 
-- 1.2) TASK_MANAGER reporting:
-- ---------------------------------
-- Derived TASK_MANAGER classes will manage tasks using the method @{Tasking.Task_Manager#TASK_MANAGER.ManageTasks}(). This method implements polymorphic behaviour.
-- 
-- The time interval in seconds of the task management can be changed using the methods @{Tasking.Task_Manager#TASK_MANAGER.SetRefreshTimeInterval}(). 
-- To control how long a reporting message is displayed, use @{Tasking.Task_Manager#TASK_MANAGER.SetReportDisplayTime}().
-- Derived classes need to implement the method @{Tasking.Task_Manager#TASK_MANAGER.GetReportDisplayTime}() to use the correct display time for displayed messages during a report.
-- 
-- Task management can be started and stopped using the methods @{Tasking.Task_Manager#TASK_MANAGER.StartTasks}() and @{Tasking.Task_Manager#TASK_MANAGER.StopTasks}() respectively.
-- If an ad-hoc report is requested, use the method @{Tasking.Task_Manager#TASK_MANAGER#ManageTasks}().
-- 
-- The default task management interval is every 60 seconds.

--- **Tasking** - This module contains the DETECTION_MANAGER class and derived classes.
-- 
-- ===
-- 
-- The @{#DETECTION_MANAGER} class defines the core functions to report detected objects to groups.
-- Reportings can be done in several manners, and it is up to the derived classes if DETECTION_MANAGER to model the reporting behaviour.
-- 
-- 1.1) DETECTION_MANAGER constructor:
-- -----------------------------------
--   * @{#DETECTION_MANAGER.New}(): Create a new DETECTION_MANAGER instance.
-- 
-- 1.2) DETECTION_MANAGER reporting:
-- ---------------------------------
-- Derived DETECTION_MANAGER classes will reports detected units using the method @{#DETECTION_MANAGER.ReportDetected}(). This method implements polymorphic behaviour.
-- 
-- The time interval in seconds of the reporting can be changed using the methods @{#DETECTION_MANAGER.SetRefreshTimeInterval}(). 
-- To control how long a reporting message is displayed, use @{#DETECTION_MANAGER.SetReportDisplayTime}().
-- Derived classes need to implement the method @{#DETECTION_MANAGER.GetReportDisplayTime}() to use the correct display time for displayed messages during a report.
-- 
-- Reporting can be started and stopped using the methods @{#DETECTION_MANAGER.StartReporting}() and @{#DETECTION_MANAGER.StopReporting}() respectively.
-- If an ad-hoc report is requested, use the method @{#DETECTION_MANAGER#ReportNow}().
-- 
-- The default reporting interval is every 60 seconds. The reporting messages are displayed 15 seconds.
-- 
-- ===
-- 
-- 2) @{#DETECTION_REPORTING} class, extends @{#DETECTION_MANAGER}
-- ===
-- The @{#DETECTION_REPORTING} class implements detected units reporting. Reporting can be controlled using the reporting methods available in the @{Tasking.DetectionManager#DETECTION_MANAGER} class.
-- 
-- 2.1) DETECTION_REPORTING constructor:
-- -------------------------------
-- The @{#DETECTION_REPORTING.New}() method creates a new DETECTION_REPORTING instance.

  -- @field Tasking.Mission#MISSION Mission
  -- @extends Tasking.DetectionManager#DETECTION_MANAGER

  --- Orchestrates dynamic **A2G Task Dispatching** based on the detection results of a linked @{Detection} object.
  -- 
  -- It uses the Tasking System within the MOOSE framework, which is a multi-player Tasking Orchestration system.
  -- It provides a truly dynamic battle environment for pilots and ground commanders to engage upon,
  -- in a true co-operation environment wherein **Multiple Teams** will collaborate in Missions to **achieve a common Mission Goal**.
  -- 
  -- The A2G dispatcher will dispatch the A2G Tasks to a defined  @{Set} of @{Wrapper.Group}s that will be manned by **Players**.   
  -- We call this the **AttackSet** of the A2G dispatcher. So, the Players are seated in the @{Client}s of the @{Wrapper.Group} @{Set}.
  -- 
  -- Depending on the actions of the enemy, preventive tasks are dispatched to the players to orchestrate the engagement in a true co-operation.
  -- The detection object will group the detected targets by its grouping method, and integrates a @{Set} of @{Wrapper.Group}s that are Recce vehicles or air units.
  -- We call this the **RecceSet** of the A2G dispatcher.
  -- 
  -- Depending on the current detected tactical situation, different task types will be dispatched to the Players seated in the AttackSet..
  -- There are currently 3 **Task Types** implemented in the TASK\_A2G\_DISPATCHER:
  -- 
  --   - **SEAD Task**: Dispatched when there are ground based Radar Emitters detected within an area.
  --   - **CAS Task**: Dispatched when there are no ground based Radar Emitters within the area, but there are friendly ground Units within 6 km from the enemy.
  --   - **BAI Task**: Dispatched when there are no ground based Radar Emitters within the area, and there aren't friendly ground Units within 6 km from the enemy.
  --
  -- # 0. Tactical Situations
  -- 
  -- This chapters provides some insights in the tactical situations when certain Task Types are created.
  -- The Task Types are depending on the enemy positions that were detected, and the current location of friendly units.
  -- 
  -- ![](..\Presentations\TASK_A2G_DISPATCHER\Dia3.JPG)
  -- 
  -- In the demonstration mission [TAD-A2G-000 - AREAS - Detection test], 
  -- the tactical situation is a demonstration how the A2G detection works.
  -- This example will be taken further in the explanation in the following chapters.
  -- 
  -- ![](..\Presentations\TASK_A2G_DISPATCHER\Dia4.JPG)
  -- 
  -- The red coalition are the players, the blue coalition is the enemy.
  -- 
  -- Red reconnaissance vehicles and airborne units are detecting the targets.
  -- We call this the RecceSet as explained above, which is a Set of Groups that
  -- have a group name starting with `Recce` (configured in the mission script).
  -- 
  -- Red attack units are responsible for executing the mission for the command center.
  -- We call this the AttackSet, which is a Set of Groups with a group name starting with `Attack` (configured in the mission script).
  -- These units are setup in this demonstration mission to be ground vehicles and airplanes.
  -- For demonstration purposes, the attack airplane is stationed on the ground to explain
  -- the messages and the menus properly.
  -- Further test missions demonstrate the A2G task dispatcher from within air.
  -- 
  -- Depending upon the detection results, the A2G dispatcher will create different tasks.
  -- 
  -- # 0.1. SEAD Task
  -- 
  -- A SEAD Task is dispatched when there are ground based Radar Emitters detected within an area.
  -- 
  -- ![](..\Presentations\TASK_A2G_DISPATCHER\Dia9.JPG)
  -- 
  --   - Once all Radar Emitting Units have been destroyed, the Task will convert into a BAI or CAS task!
  --   - A CAS and BAI task may be converted into a SEAD task, once a radar has been detected within the area!
  -- 
  -- # 0.2. CAS Task
  -- 
  -- A CAS Task is dispatched when there are no ground based Radar Emitters within the area, but there are friendly ground Units within 6 km from the enemy.
  -- 
  -- ![](..\Presentations\TASK_A2G_DISPATCHER\Dia10.JPG)
  -- 
  --   - After the detection of the CAS task, if the friendly Units are destroyed, the CAS task will convert into a BAI task!
  --   - Only ground Units are taken into account. Airborne units are ships are not considered friendlies that require Close Air Support.
  -- 
  -- # 0.3. BAI Task
  -- 
  -- A BAI Task is dispatched when there are no ground based Radar Emitters within the area, and there aren't friendly ground Units within 6 km from the enemy.
  -- 
  -- ![](..\Presentations\TASK_A2G_DISPATCHER\Dia11.JPG)
  --
  --   - A BAI task may be converted into a CAS task if friendly Ground Units approach within 6 km range!
  --
  -- # 1. Player Experience
  -- 
  -- The A2G dispatcher is residing under a @{CommandCenter}, which is orchestrating a @{Mission}.
  -- As a result, you'll find for DCS World missions that implement the A2G dispatcher a **Command Center Menu** and under this one or more **Mission Menus**.
  -- 
  -- For example, if there are 2 Command Centers (CC).
  -- Each CC is controlling a couple of Missions, the Radio Menu Structure could look like this:
  -- 
  --      Radio MENU Structure (F10. Other)
  -- 
  --      F1. Command Center [Gori]
  --        F1. Mission "Alpha (Primary)"
  --        F2. Mission "Beta (Secondary)"
  --        F3. Mission "Gamma (Tactical)"
  --      F1. Command Center [Lima]
  --        F1. Mission "Overlord (High)"
  -- 
  -- Command Center [Gori] is controlling Mission "Alpha", "Beta", "Gamma".  Alpha is the Primary mission, Beta the Secondary and there is a Tacical mission Gamma.
  -- Command Center [Lima] is controlling Missions "Overlord", which needs to be executed with High priority.

  -- ## 1.1. Mission Menu (Under the Command Center Menu)
  -- 
  -- The Mission Menu controls the information of the mission, including the:
  -- 
  --   - **Mission Briefing**: A briefing of the Mission in text, which will be shown as a message.
  --   - **Mark Task Locations**: A summary of each Task will be shown on the map as a marker.
  --   - **Create Task Reports**: A menu to create various reports of the current tasks dispatched by the A2G dispatcher.
  --   - **Create Mission Reports**: A menu to create various reports on the current mission.
  -- 
  -- For CC [Lima], Mission "Overlord", the menu structure could look like this:
  -- 
  --      Radio MENU Structure (F10. Other)
  -- 
  --      F1. Command Center [Lima]
  --        F1. Mission "Overlord"
  --          F1. Mission Briefing
  --          F2. Mark Task Locations on Map
  --          F3. Task Reports
  --          F4. Mission Reports
  --          
  -- ![](..\Presentations\TASK_A2G_DISPATCHER\Dia5.JPG)
  --   
  -- ### 1.1.1. Mission Briefing Menu
  -- 
  -- The Mission Briefing Menu will show in text a summary description of the overall mission objectives and expectations.
  -- Note that the Mission Briefing is not the briefing of a specific task, but rather provides an overall strategy and tactical situation, 
  -- and explains the mission goals. 
  -- 
  -- 
  -- ### 1.1.2. Mark Task Locations Menu
  -- 
  -- The Mark Task Locations Menu will mark the location indications of the Tasks on the map, if this intelligence is known by the Command Center.
  -- For A2G tasks this information will always be know, but it can be that for other tasks a location intelligence will be less relevant.
  -- Note that each Planned task and each Engaged task will be marked. Completed, Failed and Cancelled tasks are not marked.
  -- Depending on the task type, a summary information is shown to bring to the player the relevant information for situational awareness.
  -- 
  -- ### 1.1.3. Task Reports Menu
  -- 
  -- The Task Reports Menu is a sub menu, that allows to create various reports:
  -- 
  --   - **Tasks Summary**: This report will list all the Tasks that are or were active within the mission, indicating its status.
  --   - **Planned Tasks**: This report will list all the Tasks that are in status Planned, which are Tasks not assigned to any player, and are ready to be executed.
  --   - **Assigned Tasks**: This report will list all the Tasks that are in status Assigned, which are Tasks assigned to (a) player(s) and are currently executed.
  --   - **Successful Tasks**: This report will list all the Tasks that are in status Success, which are Tasks executed by (a) player(s) and are completed successfully.
  --   - **Failed Tasks**: This report will list all the Tasks that are in status Success, which are Tasks executed by (a) player(s) and that have failed.
  --   
  -- The information shown of the tasks will vary according the underlying task type, but are self explanatory.
  --
  -- For CC [Gori], Mission "Alpha", the Task Reports menu structure could look like this:
  -- 
  --      Radio MENU Structure (F10. Other)
  -- 
  --      F1. Command Center [Gori]
  --        F1. Mission "Alpha"
  --          F1. Mission Briefing
  --          F2. Mark Task Locations on Map
  --          F3. Task Reports
  --            F1. Tasks Summary
  --            F2. Planned Tasks
  --            F3. Assigned Tasks
  --            F4. Successful Tasks
  --            F5. Failed Tasks
  --          F4. Mission Reports
  --   
  -- Note that these reports provide an "overview" of the tasks. Detailed information of the task can be retrieved using the Detailed Report on the Task Menu.
  -- (See later).
  -- 
  -- ### 1.1.4. Mission Reports Menu
  -- 
  -- The Mission Reports Menu is a sub menu, that provides options to retrieve further information on the current Mission:
  -- 
  --   - **Report Mission Progress**: Shows the progress of the current Mission. Each Task has a %-tage of completion.
  --   - **Report Players per Task**: Show which players are engaged on which Task within the Mission.
  -- 
  -- For CC |Gori|, Mission "Alpha", the Mission Reports menu structure could look like this:
  -- 
  --      Radio MENU Structure (F10. Other)
  -- 
  --      F1. Command Center [Gori]
  --        F1. Mission "Alpha"
  --          F1. Mission Briefing
  --          F2. Mark Task Locations on Map
  --          F3. Task Reports
  --          F4. Mission Reports
  --            F1. Report Mission Progress
  --            F2. Report Players per Task
  -- 
  --   
  -- ## 1.2. Task Management Menus
  --   
  -- Very important to remember is: **Multiple Players can be assigned to the same Task, but from the player perspective, the Player can only be assigned to one Task per Mission at the same time!**
  -- Consider this like the two major modes in which a player can be in. He can be free of tasks or he can be assigned to a Task.
  -- Depending on whether a Task has been Planned or Assigned to a Player (Group), 
  -- **the Mission Menu will contain extra Menus to control specific Tasks.**
  -- 
  -- #### 1.2.1. Join a Planned Task
  -- 
  -- If the Player has not yet been assigned to a Task within the Mission, the Mission Menu will contain additionally a:
  -- 
  --   - Join Planned Task Menu: This menu structure allows the player to join a planned task (a Task with status Planned).
  --   
  -- For CC |Gori|, Mission "Alpha", the menu structure could look like this:
  -- 
  --      Radio MENU Structure (F10. Other)
  -- 
  --      F1. Command Center [Gori]
  --        F1. Mission "Alpha"
  --          F1. Mission Briefing
  --          F2. Mark Task Locations on Map
  --          F3. Task Reports
  --          F4. Mission Reports
  --          F5. Join Planned Task
  -- 
  -- **The F5. Join Planned Task allows the player to join a Planned Task and take an engagement in the running Mission.**
  -- 
  -- #### 1.2.2. Manage an Assigned Task 
  -- 
  -- If the Player has been assigned to one Task within the Mission, the Mission Menu will contain an extra:
  -- 
  --   - Assigned Task __TaskName__ Menu: This menu structure allows the player to take actions on the currently engaged task.
  --   
  -- In this example, the Group currently seated by the player is not assigned yet to a Task.
  -- The Player has the option to assign itself to a Planned Task using menu option F5 under the Mission Menu "Alpha".
  -- 
  -- This would be an example menu structure, 
  -- for CC |Gori|, Mission "Alpha", when a player would have joined Task CAS.001:
  -- 
  --      Radio MENU Structure (F10. Other)
  -- 
  --      F1. Command Center [Gori]
  --        F1. Mission "Alpha"
  --          F1. Mission Briefing
  --          F2. Mark Task Locations on Map
  --          F3. Task Reports
  --          F4. Mission Reports
  --          F5. Assigned Task CAS.001
  -- 
  -- **The F5. Assigned Task __TaskName__ allows the player to control the current Assigned Task and take further actions.**
  -- 
  -- 
  -- ## 1.3. Join Planned Task Menu
  -- 
  -- The Join Planned Task Menu contains the different Planned A2G Tasks **in a structured Menu Hierarchy**.
  -- The Menu Hierarchy is structuring the Tasks per **Task Type**, and then by **Task Name (ID)**.  
  --     
  -- For example, for CC [Gori], Mission "Alpha", 
  -- if a Mission "ALpha" contains 5 Planned Tasks, which would be:
  -- 
  --   - 2 CAS Tasks 
  --   - 1 BAI Task
  --   - 2 SEAD Tasks
  --   
  -- the Join Planned Task Menu Hierarchy could look like this:
  -- 
  --      Radio MENU Structure (F10. Other)
  -- 
  --      F1. Command Center [Gori]
  --        F1. Mission "Alpha"
  --          F1. Mission Briefing
  --          F2. Mark Task Locations on Map
  --          F3. Task Reports
  --          F4. Mission Reports
  --          F5. Join Planned Task
  --            F2. BAI
  --              F1. BAI.001
  --            F1. CAS
  --              F1. CAS.002
  --            F3. SEAD
  --              F1. SEAD.003
  --              F2. SEAD.004
  --              F3. SEAD.005
  --          
  -- An example from within a running simulation:
  -- 
  -- ![](..\Presentations\TASK_A2G_DISPATCHER\Dia6.JPG)
  --          
  -- Each Task Type Menu would have a list of the Task Menus underneath. 
  -- Each Task Menu (eg. `CAS.001`) has a **detailed Task Menu structure to control the specific task**!
  --
  -- ### 1.3.1. Planned Task Menu
  --
  -- Each Planned Task Menu will allow for the following actions:
  -- 
  --   - Report Task Details: Provides a detailed report on the Planned Task.
  --   - Mark Task Location on Map: Mark the approximate location of the Task on the Map, if relevant.
  --   - Join Task: Join the Task. This is THE menu option to let a Player join the Task, and to engage within the Mission.
  --   
  -- The Join Planned Task Menu could look like this for for CC |Gori|, Mission "Alpha": 
  -- 
  --      Radio MENU Structure (F10. Other)
  -- 
  --      F1. Command Center |Gori|
  --        F1. Mission "Alpha"
  --          F1. Mission Briefing
  --          F2. Mark Task Locations on Map
  --          F3. Task Reports
  --          F4. Mission Reports
  --          F5. Join Planned Task
  --            F1. CAS
  --              F1. CAS.001
  --                F1. Report Task Details
  --                F2. Mark Task Location on Map
  --                F3. Join Task
  -- 
  -- **The Join Task is THE menu option to let a Player join the Task, and to engage within the Mission.**
  -- 
  -- 
  -- ## 1.4. Assigned Task Menu
  -- 
  -- The Assigned Task Menu allows to control the **current assigned task** within the Mission.
  -- 
  -- Depending on the Type of Task, the following menu options will be available:
  -- 
  --   - **Report Task Details**: Provides a detailed report on the Planned Task.
  --   - **Mark Task Location on Map**: Mark the approximate location of the Task on the Map, if relevant.
  --   - **Abort Task: Abort the current assigned Task:** This menu option lets the player abort the Task.
  -- 
  -- For example, for CC |Gori|, Mission "Alpha", the Assigned Menu could be:
  -- 
  --      F1. Command Center |Gori|
  --        F1. Mission "Alpha"
  --          F1. Mission Briefing
  --          F2. Mark Task Locations on Map
  --          F3. Task Reports
  --          F4. Mission Reports
  --          F5. Assigned Task
  --            F1. Report Task Details
  --            F2. Mark Task Location on Map
  --            F3. Abort Task
  --            
  -- Task abortion will result in the Task to be Cancelled, and the Task **may** be **Replanned**.
  -- However, this will depend on the setup of each Mission. 
  -- 
  -- ## 1.5. Messages
  -- 
  -- During game play, different messages are displayed.
  -- These messages provide an update of the achievements made, and the state wherein the task is.
  -- 
  -- The various reports can be used also to retrieve the current status of the mission and its tasks.
  -- 
  -- ![](..\Presentations\TASK_A2G_DISPATCHER\Dia7.JPG)
  -- 
  -- The @{Settings} menu provides additional options to control the timing of the messages.
  -- There are:
  -- 
  --   - Status messages, which are quick status updates. The settings menu allows to switch off these messages.
  --   - Information messages, which are shown a bit longer, as they contain important information.
  --   - Summary reports, which are quick reports showing a high level summary.
  --   - Overview reports, which are providing the essential information. It provides an overview of a greater thing, and may take a bit of time to read.
  --   - Detailed reports, which provide with very detailed information. It takes a bit longer to read those reports, so the display of those could be a bit longer.
  -- 
  -- # 2. TASK\_A2G\_DISPATCHER constructor
  -- 
  -- The @{#TASK_A2G_DISPATCHER.New}() method creates a new TASK\_A2G\_DISPATCHER instance.
  --
  -- # 3. Usage
  --
  -- To use the TASK\_A2G\_DISPATCHER class, you need:
  -- 
  --   - A @{CommandCenter} object. The master communication channel.
  --   - A @{Mission} object. Each task belongs to a Mission.
  --   - A @{Detection} object. There are several detection grouping methods to choose from.
  --   - A @{Task_A2G_Dispatcher} object. The master A2G task dispatcher.
  --   - A @{Set} of @{Wrapper.Group} objects that will detect the emeny, the RecceSet. This is attached to the @{Detection} object.
  --   - A @{Set} ob @{Wrapper.Group} objects that will attack the enemy, the AttackSet. This is attached to the @{Task_A2G_Dispatcher} object.
  -- 
  -- Below an example mission declaration that is defines a Task A2G Dispatcher object.   
  --
  --     -- Declare the Command Center 
  --     local HQ = GROUP
  --       :FindByName( "HQ", "Bravo HQ" )
  --
  --     local CommandCenter = COMMANDCENTER
  --       :New( HQ, "Lima" )
  --      
  --     -- Declare the Mission for the Command Center.
  --     local Mission = MISSION
  --       :New( CommandCenter, "Overlord", "High", "Attack Detect Mission Briefing", coalition.side.RED )
  --    
  --     -- Define the RecceSet that will detect the enemy.
  --     local RecceSet = SET_GROUP
  --       :New()
  --       :FilterPrefixes( "FAC" )
  --       :FilterCoalitions("red")
  --       :FilterStart()
  --    
  --     -- Setup the detection. We use DETECTION_AREAS to detect and group the enemies within areas of 3 km radius.
  --     local DetectionAreas = DETECTION_AREAS
  --       :New( RecceSet, 3000 )  -- The RecceSet will detect the enemies.
  --    
  --     -- Setup the AttackSet, which is a SET_GROUP.
  --     -- The SET_GROUP is a dynamic collection of GROUP objects.  
  --     local AttackSet = SET_GROUP
  --       :New()  -- Create the SET_GROUP object.
  --       :FilterCoalitions( "red" ) -- Only incorporate the RED coalitions.
  --       :FilterPrefixes( "Attack" ) -- Only incorporate groups that start with the name Attack.
  --       :FilterStart() -- Enable the dynamic filtering. From this moment the AttackSet will contain all groups that are red and start with the name Attack.
  --      
  --     -- Now we have everything to setup the main A2G TaskDispatcher.
  --     TaskDispatcher = TASK_A2G_DISPATCHER
  --       :New( Mission, AttackSet, DetectionAreas ) -- We assign the TaskDispatcher under Mission. The AttackSet will engage the enemy and will recieve the dispatched Tasks. The DetectionAreas will report any detected enemies to the TaskDispatcher.

  --- The TASK_A2G class
  -- @type TASK_A2G
  -- @field Core.Set#SET_UNIT TargetSetUnit
  -- @extends Tasking.Task#TASK

  --- The TASK_A2G class defines Air To Ground tasks for a @{Set} of Target Units, 
  -- based on the tasking capabilities defined in @{Tasking.Task#TASK}.
  -- The TASK_A2G is implemented using a @{Core.Fsm#FSM_TASK}, and has the following statuses:
  -- 
  --   * **None**: Start of the process
  --   * **Planned**: The A2G task is planned.
  --   * **Assigned**: The A2G task is assigned to a @{Wrapper.Group#GROUP}.
  --   * **Success**: The A2G task is successfully completed.
  --   * **Failed**: The A2G task has failed. This will happen if the player exists the task early, without communicating a possible cancellation to HQ.
  -- 
  -- ## 1) Set the scoring of achievements in an A2G attack.
  -- 
  -- Scoring or penalties can be given in the following circumstances:
  -- 
  --   * @{#TASK_A2G.SetScoreOnDestroy}(): Set a score when a target in scope of the A2G attack, has been destroyed.
  --   * @{#TASK_A2G.SetScoreOnSuccess}(): Set a score when all the targets in scope of the A2G attack, have been destroyed.
  --   * @{#TASK_A2G.SetPenaltyOnFailed}(): Set a penalty when the A2G attack has failed.

  -- 
  -- ## 1. TASK\_A2A\_DISPATCHER constructor:
  -- 
  -- The @{#TASK_A2A_DISPATCHER.New}() method creates a new TASK\_A2A\_DISPATCHER instance.
  -- 
  -- ### 1.1. Define or set the **Mission**:
  -- 
  -- Tasking is executed to accomplish missions. Therefore, a MISSION object needs to be given as the first parameter.
  -- 
  --     local HQ = GROUP:FindByName( "HQ", "Bravo" )
  --     local CommandCenter = COMMANDCENTER:New( HQ, "Lima" )
  --     local Mission = MISSION:New( CommandCenter, "A2A Mission", "High", "Watch the air enemy units being detected.", coalition.side.RED )
  -- 
  -- Missions are governed by COMMANDCENTERS, so, ensure you have a COMMANDCENTER object installed and setup within your mission.
  -- Create the MISSION object, and hook it under the command center.
  -- 
  -- ### 1.2. Build a set of the groups seated by human players:
  -- 
  -- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\TASK_A2A_DISPATCHER\Dia6.JPG)
  -- 
  -- A set or collection of the groups wherein human players can be seated, these can be clients or units that can be joined as a slot or jumping into.
  --     
  --     local AttackGroups = SET_GROUP:New():FilterCoalitions( "red" ):FilterPrefixes( "Defender" ):FilterStart()
  --     
  -- The set is built using the SET_GROUP class. Apply any filter criteria to identify the correct groups for your mission.
  -- Only these slots or units will be able to execute the mission and will receive tasks for this mission, once available.
  -- 
  -- ### 1.3. Define the **EWR network**:
  -- 
  -- As part of the TASK\_A2A\_DISPATCHER constructor, an EWR network must be given as the third parameter.
  -- An EWR network, or, Early Warning Radar network, is used to early detect potential airborne targets and to understand the position of patrolling targets of the enemy.
  -- 
  -- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\TASK_A2A_DISPATCHER\Dia5.JPG)
  -- 
  -- Typically EWR networks are setup using 55G6 EWR, 1L13 EWR, Hawk sr and Patriot str ground based radar units. 
  -- These radars have different ranges and 55G6 EWR and 1L13 EWR radars are Eastern Bloc units (eg Russia, Ukraine, Georgia) while the Hawk and Patriot radars are Western (eg US).
  -- Additionally, ANY other radar capable unit can be part of the EWR network! Also AWACS airborne units, planes, helicopters can help to detect targets, as long as they have radar.
  -- The position of these units is very important as they need to provide enough coverage 
  -- to pick up enemy aircraft as they approach so that CAP and GCI flights can be tasked to intercept them.
  -- 
  -- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\TASK_A2A_DISPATCHER\Dia7.JPG)
  --  
  -- Additionally in a hot war situation where the border is no longer respected the placement of radars has a big effect on how fast the war escalates. 
  -- For example if they are a long way forward and can detect enemy planes on the ground and taking off 
  -- they will start to vector CAP and GCI flights to attack them straight away which will immediately draw a response from the other coalition. 
  -- Having the radars further back will mean a slower escalation because fewer targets will be detected and 
  -- therefore less CAP and GCI flights will spawn and this will tend to make just the border area active rather than a melee over the whole map. 
  -- It all depends on what the desired effect is. 
  -- 
  -- EWR networks are **dynamically constructed**, that is, they form part of the @{Functional.Detection#DETECTION_BASE} object that is given as the input parameter of the TASK\_A2A\_DISPATCHER class.
  -- By defining in a **smart way the names or name prefixes of the groups** with EWR capable units, these groups will be **automatically added or deleted** from the EWR network, 
  -- increasing or decreasing the radar coverage of the Early Warning System.
  -- 
  -- See the following example to setup an EWR network containing EWR stations and AWACS.
  -- 
  --     local EWRSet = SET_GROUP:New():FilterPrefixes( "EWR" ):FilterCoalitions("red"):FilterStart()
  --
  --     local EWRDetection = DETECTION_AREAS:New( EWRSet, 6000 )
  --     EWRDetection:SetFriendliesRange( 10000 )
  --     EWRDetection:SetRefreshTimeInterval(30)
  --
  --     -- Setup the A2A dispatcher, and initialize it.
  --     A2ADispatcher = TASK_A2A_DISPATCHER:New( Mission, AttackGroups, EWRDetection )
  -- 
  -- The above example creates a SET_GROUP instance, and stores this in the variable (object) **EWRSet**.
  -- **EWRSet** is then being configured to filter all active groups with a group name starting with **EWR** to be included in the Set.
  -- **EWRSet** is then being ordered to start the dynamic filtering. Note that any destroy or new spawn of a group with the above names will be removed or added to the Set.
  -- Then a new **EWRDetection** object is created from the class DETECTION_AREAS. A grouping radius of 6000 is choosen, which is 6km.
  -- The **EWRDetection** object is then passed to the @{#TASK_A2A_DISPATCHER.New}() method to indicate the EWR network configuration and setup the A2A tasking and detection mechanism.
  -- 
  -- ### 2. Define the detected **target grouping radius**:
  -- 
  -- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\TASK_A2A_DISPATCHER\Dia8.JPG)
  -- 
  -- The target grouping radius is a property of the Detection object, that was passed to the AI\_A2A\_DISPATCHER object, but can be changed.
  -- The grouping radius should not be too small, but also depends on the types of planes and the era of the simulation.
  -- Fast planes like in the 80s, need a larger radius than WWII planes.  
  -- Typically I suggest to use 30000 for new generation planes and 10000 for older era aircraft.
  -- 
  -- Note that detected targets are constantly re-grouped, that is, when certain detected aircraft are moving further than the group radius, then these aircraft will become a separate
  -- group being detected. This may result in additional GCI being started by the dispatcher! So don't make this value too small!
  -- 
  -- ## 3. Set the **Engage radius**:
  -- 
  -- Define the radius to engage any target by airborne friendlies, which are executing cap or returning from an intercept mission.
  -- 
  -- ![Banner Image](..\Presentations\TASK_A2A_DISPATCHER\Dia11.JPG)
  -- 
  -- So, if there is a target area detected and reported, 
  -- then any friendlies that are airborne near this target area, 
  -- will be commanded to (re-)engage that target when available (if no other tasks were commanded).
  -- For example, if 100000 is given as a value, then any friendly that is airborne within 100km from the detected target, 
  -- will be considered to receive the command to engage that target area.
  -- You need to evaluate the value of this parameter carefully.
  -- If too small, more intercept missions may be triggered upon detected target areas.
  -- If too large, any airborne cap may not be able to reach the detected target area in time, because it is too far.
  -- 
  -- ## 4. Set **Scoring** and **Messages**:
  -- 
  -- The TASK\_A2A\_DISPATCHER is a state machine. It triggers the event Assign when a new player joins a @{Task} dispatched by the TASK\_A2A\_DISPATCHER.
  -- An _event handler_ can be defined to catch the **Assign** event, and add **additional processing** to set _scoring_ and to _define messages_,
  -- when the player reaches certain achievements in the task.
  -- 
  -- The prototype to handle the **Assign** event needs to be developed as follows:
  -- 
  --      TaskDispatcher = TASK_A2A_DISPATCHER:New( ... )
  -- 
  --      --- @param #TaskDispatcher self
  --      -- @param #string From Contains the name of the state from where the Event was triggered.
  --      -- @param #string Event Contains the name of the event that was triggered. In this case Assign.
  --      -- @param #string To Contains the name of the state that will be transitioned to.
  --      -- @param Tasking.Task_A2A#TASK_A2A Task The Task object, which is any derived object from TASK_A2A.
  --      -- @param Wrapper.Unit#UNIT TaskUnit The Unit or Client that contains the Player.
  --      -- @param #string PlayerName The name of the Player that joined the TaskUnit.

  -- The TASK_A2A is implemented using a @{Core.Fsm#FSM_TASK}, and has the following statuses:
  -- 
  --   * **None**: Start of the process
  --   * **Planned**: The A2A task is planned.
  --   * **Assigned**: The A2A task is assigned to a @{Wrapper.Group#GROUP}.
  --   * **Success**: The A2A task is successfully completed.
  --   * **Failed**: The A2A task has failed. This will happen if the player exists the task early, without communicating a possible cancellation to HQ.
  -- 
  -- # 1) Set the scoring of achievements in an A2A attack.
  -- 
  -- Scoring or penalties can be given in the following circumstances:

-- 
-- ===
--
-- ## Tasking system.
-- 
-- #### If you are not yet aware what the MOOSE tasking system is about, read FIRST the explanation on the @{Tasking.Task} module.
-- 
-- ===
-- 
-- ## Context of cargo tasking.
-- 
-- The Moose framework provides various CARGO classes that allow DCS physical or logical objects to be transported or sling loaded by Carriers.
-- The CARGO_ classes, as part of the MOOSE core, are able to Board, Load, UnBoard and UnLoad cargo between Carrier units.
-- 
-- The TASK_CARGO class is not meant to use within your missions as a mission designer. It is a base class, and other classes are derived from it.
-- 
-- The following TASK_CARGO_ classes are important, as they implement the CONCRETE tasks:
-- 
--   * @{Tasking.Task_Cargo_Transport#TASK_CARGO_TRANSPORT}: Defines a task for a human player to transport a set of cargo between various zones.
--   * @{Tasking.Task_Cargo_CSAR#TASK_CARGO_CSAR}: Defines a task for a human player to Search and Rescue wounded pilots.
-- 
-- However! The menu system and basic usage of the TASK_CARGO classes is explained in the @{#TASK_CARGO} class description.
-- So please browse further below to understand how to use it from a player perspective!
-- 
-- ===
-- 
-- ## Cargo tasking from a player perspective.
-- 
-- A human player can join the battle field in a client airborne slot or a ground vehicle within the CA module (ALT-J).
-- The player needs to accept the task from the task overview list within the mission, using the menus.
-- 
-- Once the task is assigned to the player and accepted by the player, the player will obtain 
-- an extra **Cargo (Radio) Menu** that contains the CARGO objects that need to be transported.
-- 
-- Each @{Cargo.Cargo} object has a certain state:
-- 
--   * **UnLoaded**: The cargo is located within the battlefield. It may still need to be transported.
--   * **Loaded**: The cargo is loaded within a Carrier. This can be your air unit, or another air unit, or even a vehicle.
--   * **Boarding**: The cargo is running or moving towards your Carrier for loading.
--   * **UnBoarding**: The cargo is driving or jumping out of your Carrier and moves to a location in the Deployment Zone.
-- 
-- Cargo must be transported towards different Deployment @{Core.Zone}s.
-- 
-- The Cargo Menu system allows to execute **various actions** to transport the cargo.
-- In the menu, you'll find for each CARGO, that is part of the scope of the task, various actions that can be completed.
-- Depending on the location of your Carrier unit, the menu options will vary.
-- 
-- ### Joining a Cargo Transport Task
-- 
-- Once you've joined a task, using the **Join Planned Task Menu**, 
-- you can Pickup cargo from a pickup location and Deploy cargo in deployment zones, using the **Task Action Menu**.
--  
-- ### Task Action Menu.
-- 
-- When a player has joined a **`CARGO`** task (type), for that player only, 
-- it's **Task Action Menu** will show an additional menu options.
-- 
-- From within this menu, you will be able to route to a cargo location, deploy zone, and load/unload cargo.
-- 
-- ### Pickup cargo by Boarding, Loading and Sling Loading.
-- 
-- There are three different ways how cargo can be picked up:
-- 
--   - **Boarding**: Moveable cargo (like infantry or vehicles), can be boarded, that means, the cargo will move towards your carrier to board.
--     However, it can only execute the boarding actions if it is within the foreseen **Reporting Range**. 
--     Therefore, it is important that you steer your Carrier within the Reporting Range around the cargo, 
--     so that boarding actions can be executed on the cargo. The reporting range is set by the mission designer.
--     Fortunately, the cargo is reporting to you when it is within reporting range.
-- 
--   - **Loading**: Stationary cargo (like crates), which are heavy, can only be loaded or sling loaded, meaning, 
--     your carrier must be close enough to the cargo to be able to load the cargo within the carrier bays.
--     Moose provides you with an additional menu system to load stationary cargo into your carrier bays using the menu.
--     These menu options will become available, when the carrier is within loading range.
--     The Moose cargo will report to the carrier when the range is close enough. The load range is set by the mission designer.
--   
--   - **Sling Loading**: Stationary cargo (like crates), which are heavy, can only be loaded or sling loaded, meaning, 
--     your carrier must be close enough to the cargo to be able to load the cargo within the carrier bays.
--     Sling loading cargo is done using the default DCS menu system. However, Moose cargo will report to the carrier that
--     it is within sling loading range. 
--     
-- In order to be able to pickup cargo, you'll need to know where the cargo is located, right?
-- 
-- Fortunately, if your Carrier is not within the reporting range of the cargo, 
-- **the HQ can help to route you to the locations of cargo**.
-- 
-- ![Task_Types](../Tasking/Task_Cargo_Main_Menu.JPG)
-- 
-- Use the task action menu to receive HQ help for this.
-- 
-- ![Task_Types](../Tasking/Task_Cargo_Action_Menu.JPG)
--  
-- Depending on the location within the battlefield, the task action menu will contain **Route options** that can be selected
-- to start the HQ sending you routing messages.
-- The **route options will vary**, depending on the position of your carrier, and the location of the cargo and the deploy zones.
-- Note that the route options will **only be created** for cargo that is **in scope of your cargo transportation task**,
-- so there may be other cargo objects within the DCS simulation, but if those belong to other cargo transportations tasks,
-- then no routing options will be shown for these cargo.
-- This is done to ensure that **different teams** have a **defined scope** for defined cargo, and that **multiple teams** can join
-- **multiple tasks**, transporting cargo **simultaneously** in a **cooperation**.
-- 
-- In this example, there is a menu option to **Route to pickup cargo...**.
-- Use this menu to route towards cargo locations for pickup into your carrier.
-- 
-- ![Task_Types](../Tasking/Task_Cargo_Types_Menu.JPG)
-- 
-- When you select this menu, you'll see a new menu listing the different cargo types that are out there in the dcs simulator.
-- These cargo types are symbolic names that are assigned by the mission designer, like oil, liquid, engineers, food, workers etc.
-- MOOSE has introduced this concept to allow mission designers to make different cargo types for different purposes.
-- Only the creativity of the mission designer limits now the things that can be done with cargo ...
-- Okay, let's continue ..., and let's select Oil ...
-- 
-- When selected, the HQ will send you routing messages.
-- 
-- ![Task_Types](../Tasking/Task_Cargo_Routing_BR.JPG)  
-- 
-- An example of routing in BR mode.
-- 
-- Note that the coordinate display format in the message can be switched between LL DMS, LL DDM, MGRS and BR.
-- 
-- ![Task_Types](../Tasking/Main_Settings.JPG)
--   
-- Use the @{Core.Settings} menu to change your display format preferences. 
-- 
-- ![Task_Types](../Tasking/Settings_A2G_Coordinate.JPG)
-- 
-- There you can change the display format to another format that suits your need.
-- Because cargo transportation is Air 2 Ground oriented, you need to select the A2G coordinate format display options.
-- Note that the main settings menu contains much more
-- options to control your display formats, like switch to metric and imperial, or change the duration of the display messages.
-- 
-- ![Task_Types](../Tasking/Task_Cargo_Routing_LL.JPG)  
-- 
-- Here I changed the routing display format to LL DMS.
-- 
-- One important thing to know, is that the routing messages will flash at regular time intervals.
-- When using BR coordinate display format, the **distance and angle will change accordingly** from your carrier position and the location of the cargo.
-- 
-- Another important note is the routing towards deploy zones.
-- These routing options will only be shown, when your carrier bays have cargo loaded.
-- So, only when there is something to be deployed from your carrier, the deploy options will be shown.
--     
-- #### Pickup Cargo.
-- 
-- In order to pickup cargo, use the **task action menu** to **route to a specific cargo**.
-- When a cargo route is selected, the HQ will send you routing messages indicating the location of the cargo.
--  
-- Upon arrival at the cargo, and when the cargo is within **reporting range**, the cargo will contact you and **further instructions will be given**.
-- 
--   - When your Carrier is airborne, you will receive instructions to land your Carrier.
--     The action will not be completed until you've landed your Carrier.
--     
--   - For ground carriers, you can just drive to the optimal cargo board or load position.
-- 
-- It takes a bit of skill to land a helicopter near a cargo to be loaded, but that is part of the game, isn't it?
-- Expecially when you are landing in a "hot" zone, so when cargo is under immediate threat of fire.
-- 
-- #### Board Cargo (infantry).
-- 
-- ![](../Tasking/Boarding_Ready.png)  
-- 
-- If your Carrier is within the **Reporting Range of the cargo**, and the cargo is **moveable**, the **cargo can be boarded**!
-- This type of cargo will be most of the time be infantry.
-- 
-- ![](../Tasking/Boarding_Menu.png)  
-- 
-- A **Board cargo...** sub menu has appeared, because your carrier is in boarding range of the cargo (infantry).
-- Select the **Board cargo...** menu.
-- 
-- ![](../Tasking/Boarding_Menu_Engineers.png)  
-- 
-- Any cargo that can be boarded (thus movable cargo), within boarding range of the carrier, will be listed here!
-- In this example, the cargo **Engineers** can be boarded, by selecting the menu option.
-- 
-- ![](../Tasking/Boarding_Started.png)  
-- 
-- After the menu option to board the cargo has been selected, the boarding process is started.
-- A message from the cargo is communicated to the pilot, that boarding is started.
-- 
-- ![](../Tasking/Boarding_Ongoing.png)  
-- 
-- **The pilot must wait at the exact position until all cargo has been boarded!**  
-- 
-- The moveable cargo will run in formation to your carrier, and will board one by one, depending on the near range set by the mission designer.
-- The near range as added because carriers can be large or small, depending on the object size of the carrier.
-- 
-- ![](../Tasking/Boarding_In_Progress.png)  
-- 
-- ![](../Tasking/Boarding_Almost_Done.png)  
-- 
-- Note that multiple units may need to board your Carrier, so it is required to await the full boarding process.
-- 
-- ![](../Tasking/Boarding_Done.png)  
-- 
-- Once the cargo is fully boarded within your Carrier, you will be notified of this.
-- 
-- **Remarks:**
-- 
--   * For airborne Carriers, it is required to land first before the Boarding process can be initiated.
--     If during boarding the Carrier gets airborne, the boarding process will be cancelled.
--   * The carrier must remain stationary when the boarding sequence has started until further notified.
-- 
-- #### Load Cargo.
-- 
-- Cargo can be loaded into vehicles or helicopters or airplanes, as long as the carrier is sufficiently near to the cargo object.
-- 
-- ![](../Tasking/Loading_Ready.png)  
-- 
-- If your Carrier is within the **Loading Range of the cargo**, thus, sufficiently near to the cargo, and the cargo is **stationary**, the **cargo can be loaded**, but not boarded!
-- 
-- ![](../Tasking/Loading_Menu.png)  
-- 
-- Select the task action menu and now a **Load cargo...** sub menu will be listed.
-- Select the **Load cargo...** sub menu, and a further detailed menu will be shown.
-- 
-- ![](../Tasking/Loading_Menu_Crate.png)  
-- 
-- For each non-moveable cargo object (crates etc), **within loading range of the carrier**, the cargo will be listed and can be loaded into the carrier!
-- 
-- ![](../Tasking/Loading_Cargo_Loaded.png)  
-- 
-- Once the cargo is loaded within your Carrier, you will be notified of this.
-- 
-- **Remarks:**
--  
--   * For airborne Carriers, it is required to **land first right near the cargo**, before the loading process can be initiated.
-- As stated, this requires some pilot skills :-)
-- 
-- #### Sling Load Cargo (helicopters only).
-- 
-- If your Carrier is within the **Loading Range of the cargo**, and the cargo is **stationary**, the **cargo can also be sling loaded**!
-- Note that this is only possible for helicopters.
-- 
-- To sling load cargo, there is no task action menu required. Just follow the normal sling loading procedure and the cargo will report.
-- Use the normal DCS sling loading menu system to hook the cargo you the cable attached on your helicopter.
-- 
-- Again note that you may land firstly right next to the cargo, before the loading process can be initiated.
-- As stated, this requires some pilot skills :-)
-- 
-- 
-- ### Deploy cargo by Unboarding, Unloading and Sling Deploying.
-- 
-- #### **Deploying the relevant cargo within deploy zones, will make you achieve cargo transportation tasks!!!**
-- 
-- There are two different ways how cargo can be deployed:
-- 
--   - **Unboarding**: Moveable cargo (like infantry or vehicles), can be unboarded, that means, 
--     the cargo will step out of the carrier and will run to a group location.
--     Moose provides you with an additional menu system to unload stationary cargo from the carrier bays,
--     using the menu. These menu options will become available, when the carrier is within the deploy zone.
-- 
--   - **Unloading**: Stationary cargo (like crates), which are heavy, can only be unloaded or sling loaded. 
--     Moose provides you with an additional menu system to unload stationary cargo from the carrier bays,
--     using the menu. These menu options will become available, when the carrier is within the deploy zone.
--   
--   - **Sling Deploying**: Stationary cargo (like crates), which are heavy, can also be sling deployed. 
--     Once the cargo is within the deploy zone, the cargo can be deployed from the sling onto the ground.
--     
-- In order to be able to deploy cargo, you'll need to know where the deploy zone is located, right?
-- Fortunately, the HQ can help to route you to the locations of deploy zone.
-- Use the task action menu to receive HQ help for this.
-- 
-- ![](../Tasking/Routing_Deploy_Zone_Menu.png)
--  
-- Depending on the location within the battlefield, the task action menu will contain **Route options** that can be selected
-- to start the HQ sending you routing messages. Also, if the carrier cargo bays contain cargo, 
-- then beside **Route options** there will also be **Deploy options** listed.
-- These **Deploy options** are meant to route you to the deploy zone locations.
-- 
-- ![](../Tasking/Routing_Deploy_Zone_Menu_Workplace.png)
-- 
-- Depending on the task that you have selected, the deploy zones will be listed.
-- **There may be multiple deploy zones within the mission, but only the deploy zones relevant for your task will be available in the menu!**
--  
-- ![](../Tasking/Routing_Deploy_Zone_Message.png)
-- 
-- When a routing option is selected, you are sent routing messages in a selected coordinate format.
-- Possible routing coordinate formats are: Bearing Range (BR), Lattitude Longitude (LL) or Military Grid System (MGRS).
-- Note that for LL, there are two sub formats. (See pickup).
-- 
-- ![](../Tasking/Routing_Deploy_Zone_Arrived.png)
-- 
-- When you are within the range of the deploy zone (can be also a polygon!), a message is communicated by HQ that you have arrived within the zone!
-- 
-- The routing messages are formulated in the coordinate format that is currently active as configured in your settings profile.  
-- ![Task_Types](../Tasking/Task_Cargo_Settings.JPG)  
-- Use the **Settings Menu** to select the coordinate format that you would like to use for location determination.
-- 
-- #### Unboard Cargo.
-- 
-- If your carrier contains cargo, and the cargo is **moveable**, the **cargo can be unboarded**!
-- You can only unload cargo if there is cargo within your cargo bays within the carrier.
-- 
-- ![](../Tasking/Unboarding_Menu.png)
-- 
-- Select the task action menu and now an **Unboard cargo...** sub menu will be listed!
-- Again, this option will only be listed if there is a non moveable cargo within your cargo bays.
-- 
-- ![](../Tasking/Unboarding_Menu_Engineers.png)
-- 
-- Now you will see a menu option to unload the non-moveable cargo.
-- In this example, you can unload the **Engineers** that was loaded within your carrier cargo bays.
-- Depending on the cargo loaded within your cargo bays, you will see other options here!
-- Select the relevant menu option from the cargo unload menu, and the cargo will unloaded from your carrier.
-- 
-- ![](../Tasking/Unboarding_Started.png)
-- 
-- **The cargo will step out of your carrier and will move towards a grouping point.**
-- When the unboarding process has started, you will be notified by a message to your carrier.
-- 
-- ![](../Tasking/Unboarding_In_Progress.png)
-- 
-- The moveable cargo will unboard one by one, so note that multiple units may need to unboard your Carrier, 
-- so it is required to await the full completion of the unboarding process.
-- 
-- ![](../Tasking/Unboarding_Done.png)
-- 
-- Once the cargo is fully unboarded from your carrier, you will be notified of this.
--
-- **Remarks:**
-- 
--   * For airborne carriers, it is required to land first before the unboarding process can be initiated.
--     If during unboarding the Carrier gets airborne, the unboarding process will be cancelled.
--   * Once the moveable cargo is unboarded, they will start moving towards a specified gathering point.
--   * The moveable cargo will send a message to your carrier with unboarding status updates.
-- 
-- **Deploying a cargo within a deployment zone, may complete a deployment task! So ensure that you deploy the right cargo at the right deployment zone!**
-- 
-- #### Unload Cargo.
-- 
-- If your carrier contains cargo, and the cargo is **stationary**, the **cargo can be unloaded**, but not unboarded!
-- You can only unload cargo if there is cargo within your cargo bays within the carrier.
-- 
-- ![](../Tasking/Unloading_Menu.png)
-- 
-- Select the task action menu and now an **Unload cargo...** sub menu will be listed! 
-- Again, this option will only be listed if there is a non moveable cargo within your cargo bays.
-- 
-- ![](../Tasking/Unloading_Menu_Crate.png)
-- 
-- Now you will see a menu option to unload the non-moveable cargo.
-- In this example, you can unload the **Crate** that was loaded within your carrier cargo bays.
-- Depending on the cargo loaded within your cargo bays, you will see other options here!
-- Select the relevant menu option from the cargo unload menu, and the cargo will unloaded from your carrier.
-- 
-- ![](../Tasking/Unloading_Done.png)
-- 
-- Once the cargo is unloaded fom your Carrier, you may be notified of this, when there is a truck near to the cargo.
-- If there is no truck near to the unload area, no message will be sent to your carrier!
-- 
-- **Remarks:**
-- 
--   * For airborne Carriers, it is required to land first, before the unloading process can be initiated.
--   * A truck must be near the unload area to get messages to your carrier of the unload event!
--   * Unloading is only for non-moveable cargo.
--   * The non-moveable cargo must be within your cargo bays, or no unload option will be available.
--   
-- **Deploying a cargo within a deployment zone, may complete a deployment task! So ensure that you deploy the right cargo at the right deployment zone!**
-- 
-- 
-- #### Sling Deploy Cargo (helicopters only).
-- 
-- If your Carrier is within the **deploy zone**, and the cargo is **stationary**, the **cargo can also be sling deploying**!
-- Note that this is only possible for helicopters.
-- 
-- To sling deploy cargo, there is no task action menu required. Just follow the normal sling deploying procedure.
-- 
-- **Deploying a cargo within a deployment zone, may complete a deployment task! So ensure that you deploy the right cargo at the right deployment zone!**

do -- TASK_CARGO

  --- @type TASK_CARGO
  -- @extends Tasking.Task#TASK

  --- Model tasks for players to transport Cargo.
  -- 
  -- This models the process of a flexible transporation tasking system of cargo.
  -- 
  -- # 1) A flexible tasking system.
  -- 
  -- The TASK_CARGO classes provide you with a flexible tasking sytem, 
  -- that allows you to transport cargo of various types between various locations
  -- and various dedicated deployment zones.
  -- 
  -- The cargo in scope of the TASK\_CARGO classes must be explicitly given, and is of type SET\_CARGO.
  -- The SET_CARGO contains a collection of CARGO objects that must be handled by the players in the mission.
  -- 
  -- # 2) Cargo Tasking from a mission designer perspective.
  -- 
  -- A cargo task is governed by a @{Tasking.Mission} object. Tasks are of different types.
  -- The @{#TASK} object is used or derived by more detailed tasking classes that will implement the task execution mechanisms
  -- and goals. 
  -- 
  -- ## 2.1) Derived cargo task classes.
  -- 
  -- The following TASK_CARGO classes are derived from @{#TASK}.
  -- 
  --      TASK
  --        TASK_CARGO
  --          TASK_CARGO_TRANSPORT
  --          TASK_CARGO_CSAR
  -- 
  -- ### 2.1.1) Cargo Tasks  
  -- 
  --   - @{Tasking.Task_Cargo#TASK_CARGO_TRANSPORT} - Models the transportation of cargo to deployment zones. 
  --   - @{Tasking.Task_Cargo#TASK_CARGO_CSAR} - Models the rescue of downed friendly pilots from behind enemy lines.    
  --   
  -- ## 2.2) Handle TASK_CARGO Events ...
  -- 
  -- The TASK_CARGO classes define @{Cargo} transport tasks, 
  -- based on the tasking capabilities defined in @{Tasking.Task#TASK}.
  -- 
  -- ### 2.2.1) Boarding events.
  -- 
  -- Specific Cargo event can be captured, that allow to trigger specific actions!
  -- 
  --   * **Boarded**: Triggered when the Cargo has been Boarded into your Carrier.
  --   * **UnBoarded**: Triggered when the cargo has been Unboarded from your Carrier and has arrived at the Deployment Zone.
  -- 
  -- ### 2.2.2) Loading events.
  -- 
  -- Specific Cargo event can be captured, that allow to trigger specific actions!
  -- 
  --   * **Loaded**: Triggered when the Cargo has been Loaded into your Carrier.
  --   * **UnLoaded**: Triggered when the cargo has been Unloaded from your Carrier and has arrived at the Deployment Zone.
  -- 
  -- ### 2.2.2) Standard TASK_CARGO Events
  -- 
  -- The TASK_CARGO is implemented using a @{Core.Fsm#FSM_TASK}, and has the following standard statuses:
  -- 
  --   * **None**: Start of the process.
  --   * **Planned**: The cargo task is planned.
  --   * **Assigned**: The cargo task is assigned to a @{Wrapper.Group#GROUP}.
  --   * **Success**: The cargo task is successfully completed.
  --   * **Failed**: The cargo task has failed. This will happen if the player exists the task early, without communicating a possible cancellation to HQ.

--- **Tasking** -- Models tasks for players to transport cargo.
-- 
-- **Specific features:**
-- 
--   * Creates a task to transport @{Cargo.Cargo} to and between deployment zones.
--   * Derived from the TASK_CARGO class, which is derived from the TASK class.
--   * Orchestrate the task flow, so go from Planned to Assigned to Success, Failed or Cancelled.
--   * Co-operation tasking, so a player joins a group of players executing the same task.
-- 
-- 
-- **A complete task menu system to allow players to:**
--   
--   * Join the task, abort the task.
--   * Mark the task location on the map.
--   * Provide details of the target.
--   * Route to the cargo.
--   * Route to the deploy zones.
--   * Load/Unload cargo.
--   * Board/Unboard cargo.
--   * Slingload cargo.
--   * Display the task briefing.
--   
--   
-- **A complete mission menu system to allow players to:**
--   
--   * Join a task, abort the task.
--   * Display task reports.
--   * Display mission statistics.
--   * Mark the task locations on the map.
--   * Provide details of the targets.
--   * Display the mission briefing.
--   * Provide status updates as retrieved from the command center.
--   * Automatically assign a random task as part of a mission.
--   * Manually assign a specific task as part of a mission.
--   
--   
--  **A settings system, using the settings menu:**
--  
--   * Tweak the duration of the display of messages.
--   * Switch between metric and imperial measurement system.
--   * Switch between coordinate formats used in messages: BR, BRA, LL DMS, LL DDM, MGRS.
--   * Different settings modes for A2G and A2A operations.
--   * Various other options.

  -- ## 1.3) Create the transport cargo task.
  -- 
  -- So, now that we have a command center and a mission, we now create the transport task.
  -- We create the transport task using the @{#TASK_CARGO_TRANSPORT.New}() constructor.
  -- 
  -- Because a transport task will not generate the cargo itself, you'll need to create it first.
  -- The cargo in this case will be the downed pilot!
  -- 
  --     -- Here we define the "cargo set", which is a collection of cargo objects.
  --     -- The cargo set will be the input for the cargo transportation task.
  --     -- So a transportation object is handling a cargo set, which is automatically refreshed when new cargo is added/deleted.
  --     local CargoSet = SET_CARGO:New():FilterTypes( "Cargo" ):FilterStart()
  --    
  --     -- Now we add cargo into the battle scene.
  --     local PilotGroup = GROUP:FindByName( "Engineers" )
  --      
  --     -- CARGO_GROUP can be used to setup cargo with a GROUP object underneath.
  --     -- We name this group Engineers.
  --     -- Note that the name of the cargo is "Engineers".
  --     -- The cargoset "CargoSet" will embed all defined cargo of type "Pilots" (prefix) into its set.
  --     local CargoGroup = CARGO_GROUP:New( PilotGroup, "Cargo", "Engineer Team 1", 500 )
  -- 
  -- What is also needed, is to have a set of @{Core.Group}s defined that contains the clients of the players.
  -- 
  --     -- Allocate the Transport, which are the helicopter to retrieve the pilot, that can be manned by players.
  --     local GroupSet = SET_GROUP:New():FilterPrefixes( "Transport" ):FilterStart()
  -- 
  -- Now that we have a CargoSet and a GroupSet, we can now create the TransportTask manually.
  -- 
  --     -- Declare the transport task.
  --     local TransportTask = TASK_CARGO_TRANSPORT
  --       :New( Mission, 
  --             GroupSet, 
  --             "Transport Engineers", 
  --             CargoSet, 
  --             "Fly behind enemy lines, and retrieve the downed pilot." 
  --           )
  -- 
  -- So you can see, setting up a transport task manually is a lot of work.
  -- It is better you use the cargo dispatcher to create transport tasks and it will work as it is intended.
  -- By doing this, cargo transport tasking will become a dynamic experience.
  -- 
  -- 
  -- # 2) Create a task using the @{Tasking.Task_Cargo_Dispatcher} module.
  -- 
  -- Actually, it is better to **GENERATE** these tasks using the @{Tasking.Task_Cargo_Dispatcher} module.
  -- Using the dispatcher module, transport tasks can be created much more easy.
  -- 
  -- Find below an example how to use the TASK_CARGO_DISPATCHER class:
  -- 
  -- 
  --    -- Find the HQ group.
  --    HQ = GROUP:FindByName( "HQ", "Bravo" )
  --    
  --    -- Create the command center with the name "Lima".
  --    CommandCenter = COMMANDCENTER
  --      :New( HQ, "Lima" )
  --    
  --    -- Create the mission, for the command center, with the name "Operation Cargo Fun", a "Tactical" mission, with the mission briefing "Transport Cargo", for the BLUE coalition.
  --    Mission = MISSION
  --      :New( CommandCenter, "Operation Cargo Fun", "Tactical", "Transport Cargo", coalition.side.BLUE )
  --    
  --    -- Create the SET of GROUPs containing clients (players) that will transport the cargo.
  --    -- These are have a name that start with "Transport" and are of the "blue" coalition.
  --    TransportGroups = SET_GROUP:New():FilterCoalitions( "blue" ):FilterPrefixes( "Transport" ):FilterStart()
  --    
  --    
  --    -- Here we create the TASK_CARGO_DISPATCHER object! This is where we assign the dispatcher to generate tasks in the Mission for the TransportGroups.
  --    TaskDispatcher = TASK_CARGO_DISPATCHER:New( Mission, TransportGroups )
  --    
  --    
  --    -- Here we declare the SET of CARGOs called "Workmaterials".
  --    local CargoSetWorkmaterials = SET_CARGO:New():FilterTypes( "Workmaterials" ):FilterStart()
  --    
  --    -- Here we declare (add) CARGO_GROUP objects of various types, that are filtered and added in the CargoSetworkmaterials cargo set.
  --    -- These cargo objects have the type "Workmaterials" which is exactly the type of cargo the CargoSetworkmaterials is filtering on.
  --    local EngineerCargoGroup = CARGO_GROUP:New( GROUP:FindByName( "Engineers" ), "Workmaterials", "Engineers", 250 )
  --    local ConcreteCargo = CARGO_SLINGLOAD:New( STATIC:FindByName( "Concrete" ), "Workmaterials", "Concrete", 150, 50 )
  --    local CrateCargo = CARGO_CRATE:New( STATIC:FindByName( "Crate" ), "Workmaterials", "Crate", 150, 50 )
  --    local EnginesCargo = CARGO_CRATE:New( STATIC:FindByName( "Engines" ), "Workmaterials", "Engines", 150, 50 )
  --    local MetalCargo = CARGO_CRATE:New( STATIC:FindByName( "Metal" ), "Workmaterials", "Metal", 150, 50 )
  --    
  --    -- And here we create a new WorkplaceTask, using the :AddTransportTask method of the TaskDispatcher.
  --    local WorkplaceTask = TaskDispatcher:AddTransportTask( "Build a Workplace", CargoSetWorkmaterials, "Transport the workers, engineers and the equipment near the Workplace." )
  --    TaskDispatcher:SetTransportDeployZone( WorkplaceTask, ZONE:New( "Workplace" ) )
  -- 
  -- # 3) Handle cargo task events.
  -- 
  -- When a player is picking up and deploying cargo using his carrier, events are generated by the tasks. These events can be captured and tailored with your own code.
  -- 
  -- In order to properly capture the events and avoid mistakes using the documentation, it is advised that you execute the following actions:
  -- 
  --   * **Copy / Paste** the code section into your script.
  --   * **Change** the CLASS literal to the task object name you have in your script.
  --   * Within the function, you can now **write your own code**!
  --   * **IntelliSense** will recognize the type of the variables provided by the function. Note: the From, Event and To variables can be safely ignored, 
  --     but you need to declare them as they are automatically provided by the event handling system of MOOSE.
  -- 
  -- You can send messages or fire off any other events within the code section. The sky is the limit!
  -- 
  -- 
  -- ## 3.1) Handle the CargoPickedUp event.

  --      end
  -- 
  -- If you want to code your own event handler, use this code fragment to tailor the event when a player carrier has deployed a cargo object from the CarrierGroup.

-- Please read through the @{Tasking.Task_Cargo} process to understand the mechanisms of tasking and cargo tasking and handling.
-- 
-- The cargo will be a downed pilot, which is located somwhere on the battlefield. Use the menus system and facilities to 
-- join the CSAR task, and retrieve the pilot from behind enemy lines. The menu system is generic, there is nothing
-- specific on a CSAR task that requires further explanation, than reading the generic TASK_CARGO explanations.

do -- TASK_CARGO_CSAR

  --- @type TASK_CARGO_CSAR
  -- @extends Tasking.Task_Cargo#TASK_CARGO
  
  --- Orchestrates the task for players to execute CSAR for downed pilots.
  -- 
  -- CSAR tasks are suited to govern the process of return downed pilots behind enemy lines back to safetly.
  -- Typically, this task is executed by helicopter pilots, but it can also be executed by ground forces!
  -- 
  -- ===
  -- 
  -- A CSAR task can be created manually, but actually, it is better to **GENERATE** these tasks using the 
  -- @{Tasking.Task_Cargo_Dispatcher} module.
  -- 
  -- Using the dispatcher, CSAR tasks will be created **automatically** when a pilot ejects from a damaged AI aircraft.
  -- When this happens, the pilot actually will survive, but needs to be retrieved from behind enemy lines.
  -- 
  -- # 1) Create a CSAR task manually (code it).
  -- 
  -- Although it is recommended to use the dispatcher, you can create a CSAR task yourself as a mission designer.
  -- It is easy, as it works just like any other task setup.
  -- 
  -- ## 1.1) Create a command center.
  -- 
  -- First you need to create a command center using the @{Tasking.CommandCenter#COMMANDCENTER.New}() constructor.
  -- 
  --     local CommandCenter = COMMANDCENTER
  --        :New( HQ, "Lima" ) -- Create the CommandCenter.
  --     
  -- ## 1.2) Create a mission.
  -- 
  -- Tasks work in a mission, which groups these tasks to achieve a joint mission goal.
  -- A command center can govern multiple missions.
  -- Create a new mission, using the @{Tasking.Mission#MISSION.New}() constructor.
  -- 
  --     -- Declare the Mission for the Command Center.
  --     local Mission = MISSION
  --       :New( CommandCenter, 
  --             "Overlord", 
  --             "High", 
  --             "Retrieve the downed pilots.", 
  --             coalition.side.RED 
  --           ) 
  -- 
  -- ## 1.3) Create the CSAR cargo task.
  -- 
  -- So, now that we have a command center and a mission, we now create the CSAR task.

  --     local PilotGroup = GROUP:FindByName( "Pilot" )
  --      
  --     -- CARGO_GROUP can be used to setup cargo with a GROUP object underneath.
  --     -- We name this group Engineers.
  --     -- Note that the name of the cargo is "Engineers".
  --     -- The cargoset "CargoSet" will embed all defined cargo of type "Pilots" (prefix) into its set.
  --     local CargoGroup = CARGO_GROUP:New( PilotGroup, "Pilots", "Downed Pilot", 500 )

  -- What is also needed, is to have a set of @{Core.Group}s defined that contains the clients of the players.
  -- 
  --     -- Allocate the Transport, which are the helicopter to retrieve the pilot, that can be manned by players.
  --     local GroupSet = SET_GROUP:New():FilterPrefixes( "Transport" ):FilterStart()
  -- 
  -- Now that we have a CargoSet and a GroupSet, we can now create the CSARTask manually.
  -- 
  --     -- Declare the CSAR task.
  --     local CSARTask = TASK_CARGO_CSAR
  --       :New( Mission, 
  --             GroupSet,

  --- Implements the dynamic dispatching of cargo tasks.
  -- 
  -- The **TASK_CARGO_DISPATCHER** allows you to setup various tasks for let human
  -- players transport cargo as part of a task. 
  -- 
  -- There are currently **two types of tasks** that can be constructed:
  -- 
  --   * A **normal cargo transport** task, which tasks humans to transport cargo from a location towards a deploy zone.
  --   * A **CSAR** cargo transport task. CSAR tasks are **automatically generated** when a friendly (AI) plane is downed and the friendly pilot ejects... 
  --   You as a player (the helo pilot) can go out in the battlefield, fly behind enemy lines, and rescue the pilot (back to a deploy zone).
  -- 
  -- Let's explore **step by step** how to setup the task cargo dispatcher.
  -- 
  -- # 1. Setup a mission environment.
  -- 
  -- It is easy, as it works just like any other task setup, so setup a command center and a mission.
  -- 
  -- ## 1.1. Create a command center.
  -- 
  -- First you need to create a command center using the @{Tasking.CommandCenter#COMMANDCENTER.New}() constructor.
  -- 
  --     local CommandCenter = COMMANDCENTER
  --        :New( HQ, "Lima" ) -- Create the CommandCenter.
  --     
  -- ## 1.2. Create a mission.
  -- 
  -- Tasks work in a mission, which groups these tasks to achieve a joint mission goal.
  -- A command center can govern multiple missions.
  -- Create a new mission, using the @{Tasking.Mission#MISSION.New}() constructor.
  -- 
  --     -- Declare the Mission for the Command Center.
  --     local Mission = MISSION
  --       :New( CommandCenter, 
  --             "Overlord", 
  --             "High", 
  --             "Transport the cargo.", 
  --             coalition.side.RED 
  --           ) 
  -- 
  -- 
  -- # 2. Dispatch a **transport cargo** task.
  -- 
  -- So, now that we have a command center and a mission, we now create the transport task.
  -- We create the transport task using the @{#TASK_CARGO_DISPATCHER.AddTransportTask}() constructor.
  -- 
  -- ## 2.1. Create the cargo in the mission.
  -- 
  -- Because a transport task will not generate the cargo itself, you'll need to create it first.
  -- 
  --     -- Here we define the "cargo set", which is a collection of cargo objects.
  --     -- The cargo set will be the input for the cargo transportation task.
  --     -- So a transportation object is handling a cargo set, which is automatically updated when new cargo is added/deleted.
  --     local WorkmaterialsCargoSet = SET_CARGO:New():FilterTypes( "Workmaterials" ):FilterStart()
  --    
  --     -- Now we add cargo into the battle scene.
  --     local PilotGroup = GROUP:FindByName( "Engineers" )
  --      
  --     -- CARGO_GROUP can be used to setup cargo with a GROUP object underneath.
  --     -- We name the type of this group "Workmaterials", so that this cargo group will be included within the WorkmaterialsCargoSet.
  --     -- Note that the name of the cargo is "Engineer Team 1".
  --     local CargoGroup = CARGO_GROUP:New( PilotGroup, "Workmaterials", "Engineer Team 1", 500 )
  -- 
  -- What is also needed, is to have a set of @{Core.Group}s defined that contains the clients of the players.
  -- 
  --     -- Allocate the Transport, which are the helicopters to retrieve the pilot, that can be manned by players.
  --     -- The name of these helicopter groups containing one client begins with "Transport", as modelled within the mission editor.
  --     local PilotGroupSet = SET_GROUP:New():FilterPrefixes( "Transport" ):FilterStart()
  -- 
  -- ## 2.2. Setup the cargo transport task.
  -- 
  -- First, we need to create a TASK_CARGO_DISPATCHER object.
  -- 
  --     TaskDispatcher = TASK_CARGO_DISPATCHER:New( Mission, PilotGroupSet )
  -- 
  -- So, the variable `TaskDispatcher` will contain the object of class TASK_CARGO_DISPATCHER, which will allow you to dispatch cargo transport tasks:
  --  
  --   * for mission `Mission`.
  --   * for the group set `PilotGroupSet`.
  -- 
  -- Now that we have `TaskDispatcher` object, we can now **create the TransportTask**, using the @{#TASK_CARGO_DISPATCHER.AddTransportTask}() method!
  -- 
  --     local TransportTask = TaskDispatcher:AddTransportTask( 
  --       "Transport workmaterials", 
  --       WorkmaterialsCargoSet, 
  --       "Transport the workers, engineers and the equipment near the Workplace." )
  -- 
  -- As a result of this code, the `TransportTask` (returned) variable will contain an object of @{#TASK_CARGO_TRANSPORT}!
  -- We pass to the method the title of the task, and the `WorkmaterialsCargoSet`, which is the set of cargo groups to be transported!
  -- This object can also be used to setup additional things, or to control this specific task with special actions.
  -- 
  -- And you're done! As you can see, it is a bit of work, but the reward is great.
  -- And, because all this is done using program interfaces, you can build a mission with a **dynamic cargo transport task mechanism** yourself!
  -- Based on events happening within your mission, you can use the above methods to create new cargo, and setup a new task for cargo transportation to a group of players!
  -- 
  --     
  -- # 3. Dispatch CSAR tasks.
  -- 
  -- CSAR tasks can be dynamically created when a friendly pilot ejects, or can be created manually.
  -- We'll explore both options.
  -- 
  -- ## 3.1. CSAR task dynamic creation.
  -- 
  -- Because there is an "event" in a running simulation that creates CSAR tasks, the method @{#TASK_CARGO_DISPATCHER.StartCSARTasks}() will create automatically:
  -- 
  --   1. a new downed pilot at the location where the plane was shot
  --   2. declare that pilot as cargo
  --   3. creates a CSAR task automatically to retrieve that pilot
  --   4. requires deploy zones to be specified where to transport the downed pilot to, in order to complete that task.
  -- 
  -- You create a CSAR task dynamically in a very easy way:
  -- 
  --     TaskDispatcher:StartCSARTasks( 
  --       "CSAR", 
  --       { ZONE_UNIT:New( "Hospital", STATIC:FindByName( "Hospital" ), 100 ) }, 
  --       "One of our pilots has ejected. Go out to Search and Rescue our pilot!\n" .. 
  --       "Use the radio menu to let the command center assist you with the CSAR tasking."
  --     )
  -- 
  -- The method @{#TASK_CARGO_DISPATCHER.StopCSARTasks}() will automatically stop with the creation of CSAR tasks when friendly pilots eject.
  -- 
  -- **Remarks:** 
  --   
  --   * the ZONE_UNIT can also be a ZONE, or a ZONE_POLYGON object, or any other ZONE_ object!
  --   * you can declare the array of zones in another variable, or course!
  -- 
  -- 
  -- ## 3.2. CSAR task manual creation.
  -- 
  -- We create the CSAR task using the @{#TASK_CARGO_DISPATCHER.AddCSARTask}() constructor.
  -- 
  -- The method will create a new CSAR task, and will generate the pilots cargo itself, at the specified coordinate.
  -- 
  -- What is first needed, is to have a set of @{Core.Group}s defined that contains the clients of the players.
  -- 
  --     -- Allocate the Transport, which are the helicopter to retrieve the pilot, that can be manned by players.
  --     local GroupSet = SET_GROUP:New():FilterPrefixes( "Transport" ):FilterStart()
  -- 
  -- We need to create a TASK_CARGO_DISPATCHER object.
  -- 
  --     TaskDispatcher = TASK_CARGO_DISPATCHER:New( Mission, GroupSet )
  -- 
  -- So, the variable `TaskDispatcher` will contain the object of class TASK_CARGO_DISPATCHER, which will allow you to dispatch cargo CSAR tasks:
  --  
  --   * for mission `Mission`.
  --   * for the group of players (pilots) captured within the `GroupSet` (those groups with a name starting with `"Transport"`).
  -- 
  -- Now that we have a PilotsCargoSet and a GroupSet, we can now create the CSAR task manually.
  -- 
  --     -- Declare the CSAR task.
  --     local CSARTask = TaskDispatcher:AddCSARTask( 
  --       "CSAR Task",
  --       Coordinate,
  --       270,
  --       "Bring the pilot back!"
  --     )
  -- 
  -- As a result of this code, the `CSARTask` (returned) variable will contain an object of @{#TASK_CARGO_CSAR}!
  -- We pass to the method the title of the task, and the `WorkmaterialsCargoSet`, which is the set of cargo groups to be transported!
  -- This object can also be used to setup additional things, or to control this specific task with special actions.
  -- Note that when you declare a CSAR task manually, you'll still need to specify a deployment zone!
  -- 
  -- # 4. Setup the deploy zone(s).
  -- 
  -- The task cargo dispatcher also foresees methods to setup the deployment zones to where the cargo needs to be transported!
  -- 
  -- There are two levels on which deployment zones can be configured:
  -- 
  --   * Default deploy zones: The TASK_CARGO_DISPATCHER object can have default deployment zones, which will apply over all tasks active in the task dispatcher.
  --   * Task specific deploy zones: The TASK_CARGO_DISPATCHER object can have specific deployment zones which apply to a specific task only!
  -- 
  -- Note that for Task specific deployment zones, there are separate deployment zone creation methods per task type!
  -- 
  -- ## 4.1. Setup default deploy zones.
  -- 
  -- Use the @{#TASK_CARGO_DISPATCHER.SetDefaultDeployZone}() to setup one deployment zone, and @{#TASK_CARGO_DISPATCHER.SetDefaultDeployZones}() to setup multiple default deployment zones in one call.
  -- 
  -- ## 4.2. Setup task specific deploy zones for a **transport task**.
  -- 
  -- Use the @{#TASK_CARGO_DISPATCHER.SetTransportDeployZone}() to setup one deployment zone, and @{#TASK_CARGO_DISPATCHER.SetTransportDeployZones}() to setup multiple default deployment zones in one call.
  -- 
  -- ## 4.3. Setup task specific deploy zones for a **CSAR task**. 
  -- 
  -- Use the @{#TASK_CARGO_DISPATCHER.SetCSARDeployZone}() to setup one deployment zone, and @{#TASK_CARGO_DISPATCHER.SetCSARDeployZones}() to setup multiple default deployment zones in one call.
  -- 
  -- ## 4.4. **CSAR ejection zones**. 
  -- 
  -- Setup a set of zones where the pilots will only eject and a task is created for CSAR. When such a set of zones is given, any ejection outside those zones will not result in a pilot created for CSAR!
  -- 
  -- Use the @{#TASK_CARGO_DISPATCHER.SetCSARZones}() to setup the set of zones.
  -- 
  -- ## 4.5. **CSAR ejection maximum**.
  -- 
  -- Setup how many pilots will eject the maximum. This to avoid an overload of CSAR tasks being created :-) The default is endless CSAR tasks.
  -- 
  -- Use the @{#TASK_CARGO_DISPATCHER.SetMaxCSAR}() to setup the maximum of pilots that will eject for CSAR.
  -- 
  -- 
  -- # 5) Handle cargo task events.
  -- 
  -- When a player is picking up and deploying cargo using his carrier, events are generated by the dispatcher. These events can be captured and tailored with your own code.
  -- 
  -- In order to properly capture the events and avoid mistakes using the documentation, it is advised that you execute the following actions:
  -- 
  --   * **Copy / Paste** the code section into your script.
  --   * **Change** the CLASS literal to the task object name you have in your script.
  --   * Within the function, you can now **write your own code**!
  --   * **IntelliSense** will recognize the type of the variables provided by the function. Note: the From, Event and To variables can be safely ignored, 
  --     but you need to declare them as they are automatically provided by the event handling system of MOOSE.
  -- 
  -- You can send messages or fire off any other events within the code section. The sky is the limit!
  -- 
  -- First, we need to create a TASK_CARGO_DISPATCHER object.
  -- 
  --      TaskDispatcher = TASK_CARGO_DISPATCHER:New( Mission, PilotGroupSet )
  -- 
  -- Second, we create a new cargo transport task for the transportation of workmaterials.
  -- 
  --      TaskDispatcher:AddTransportTask( 
  --        "Transport workmaterials", 
  --        WorkmaterialsCargoSet, 
  --        "Transport the workers, engineers and the equipment near the Workplace." )
  -- 
  -- Note that we don't really need to keep the resulting task, it is kept internally also in the dispatcher.
  -- 
  -- Using the `TaskDispatcher` object, we can now cpature the CargoPickedUp and CargoDeployed events.
  -- 
  -- ## 5.1) Handle the **CargoPickedUp** event.
  -- 
  -- Find below an example how to tailor the **CargoPickedUp** event, generated by the `TaskDispatcher`:
  -- 
  --      function TaskDispatcher:OnAfterCargoPickedUp( From, Event, To, Task, TaskPrefix, TaskUnit, Cargo )
  --        
  --        MESSAGE:NewType( "Unit " .. TaskUnit:GetName().. " has picked up cargo for task " .. Task:GetName() .. ".", MESSAGE.Type.Information ):ToAll()
  --        
  --      end
  -- 
  -- If you want to code your own event handler, use this code fragment to tailor the event when a player carrier has picked up a cargo object in the CarrierGroup.
  -- You can use this event handler to post messages to players, or provide status updates etc.
  -- 
  --      --- CargoPickedUp event handler OnAfter for CLASS.
  --      -- @param #CLASS self
  --      -- @param #string From A string that contains the "*from state name*" when the event was triggered.
  --      -- @param #string Event A string that contains the "*event name*" when the event was triggered.
  --      -- @param #string To A string that contains the "*to state name*" when the event was triggered.
  --      -- @param Tasking.Task_Cargo#TASK_CARGO Task The cargo task for which the cargo has been picked up. Note that this will be a derived TAKS_CARGO object!
  --      -- @param #string TaskPrefix The prefix of the task that was provided when the task was created.
  --      -- @param Wrapper.Unit#UNIT TaskUnit The unit (client) of the player that has picked up the cargo.
  --      -- @param Cargo.Cargo#CARGO Cargo The cargo object that has been picked up. Note that this can be a CARGO_GROUP, CARGO_CRATE or CARGO_SLINGLOAD object!
  --      function CLASS:OnAfterCargoPickedUp( From, Event, To, Task, TaskPrefix, TaskUnit, Cargo )
  --      
  --        -- Write here your own code.
  --      
  --      end
  -- 
  -- 
  -- ## 5.2) Handle the **CargoDeployed** event.
  -- 
  -- Find below an example how to tailor the **CargoDeployed** event, generated by the `TaskDispatcher`:
  -- 
  --       function WorkplaceTask:OnAfterCargoDeployed( From, Event, To, Task, TaskPrefix, TaskUnit, Cargo, DeployZone )
  --        
  --         MESSAGE:NewType( "Unit " .. TaskUnit:GetName().. " has deployed cargo at zone " .. DeployZone:GetName() .. " for task " .. Task:GetName() .. ".", MESSAGE.Type.Information ):ToAll()
  --        
  --         Helos[ math.random(1,#Helos) ]:Spawn()
  --         EnemyHelos[ math.random(1,#EnemyHelos) ]:Spawn()
  --       end
  -- 
  -- If you want to code your own event handler, use this code fragment to tailor the event when a player carrier has deployed a cargo object from the CarrierGroup.
  -- You can use this event handler to post messages to players, or provide status updates etc.
  -- 
  -- 
  --      --- CargoDeployed event handler OnAfter for CLASS.
  --      -- @param #CLASS self
  --      -- @param #string From A string that contains the "*from state name*" when the event was triggered.
  --      -- @param #string Event A string that contains the "*event name*" when the event was triggered.

--- **Tasking** - Creates and manages player TASK_ZONE_CAPTURE tasks.
-- 
-- The **TASK_CAPTURE_DISPATCHER** allows you to setup various tasks for let human
-- players capture zones in a co-operation effort. 
--  
-- The dispatcher will implement for you mechanisms to create capture zone tasks:
--  
--   * As setup by the mission designer.
--   * Dynamically capture zone tasks.
--   
-- 
--   
-- **Specific features:**
-- 
--   * Creates a task to capture zones and achieve mission goals.
--   * Orchestrate the task flow, so go from Planned to Assigned to Success, Failed or Cancelled.
--   * Co-operation tasking, so a player joins a group of players executing the same task.
-- 
-- 
-- **A complete task menu system to allow players to:**
--   
--   * Join the task, abort the task.
--   * Mark the location of the zones to capture on the map.
--   * Provide details of the zones.
--   * Route to the zones.
--   * Display the task briefing.
--   
--   
-- **A complete mission menu system to allow players to:**
--   
--   * Join a task, abort the task.
--   * Display task reports.
--   * Display mission statistics.
--   * Mark the task locations on the map.
--   * Provide details of the zones.
--   * Display the mission briefing.
--   * Provide status updates as retrieved from the command center.
--   * Automatically assign a random task as part of a mission.
--   * Manually assign a specific task as part of a mission.
--   
--   
--  **A settings system, using the settings menu:**
--  
--   * Tweak the duration of the display of messages.
--   * Switch between metric and imperial measurement system.
--   * Switch between coordinate formats used in messages: BR, BRA, LL DMS, LL DDM, MGRS.
--   * Various other options.

  --- Implements the dynamic dispatching of capture zone tasks.
  -- 
  -- The **TASK_CAPTURE_DISPATCHER** allows you to setup various tasks for let human
  -- players capture zones in a co-operation effort. 
  --  
  -- Let's explore **step by step** how to setup the task capture zone dispatcher.
  -- 
  -- # 1. Setup a mission environment.
  -- 
  -- It is easy, as it works just like any other task setup, so setup a command center and a mission.
  -- 
  -- ## 1.1. Create a command center.
  -- 
  -- First you need to create a command center using the @{Tasking.CommandCenter#COMMANDCENTER.New}() constructor.
  -- The command assumes that you�ve setup a group in the mission editor with the name HQ.
  -- This group will act as the command center object.
  -- It is a good practice to mark this group as invisible and invulnerable.
  -- 
  --     local CommandCenter = COMMANDCENTER
  --        :New( GROUP:FindByName( "HQ" ), "HQ" ) -- Create the CommandCenter.
  --     
  -- ## 1.2. Create a mission.
  -- 
  -- Tasks work in a **mission**, which groups these tasks to achieve a joint **mission goal**. A command center can **govern multiple missions**.
  -- 
  -- Create a new mission, using the @{Tasking.Mission#MISSION.New}() constructor.
  -- 
  --     -- Declare the Mission for the Command Center.
  --     local Mission = MISSION
  --       :New( CommandCenter, 
  --             "Overlord", 
  --             "High", 
  --             "Capture the blue zones.", 
  --             coalition.side.RED 
  --           ) 
  -- 
  -- 
  -- # 2. Dispatch a **capture zone** task.
  -- 
  -- So, now that we have a command center and a mission, we now create the capture zone task.
  -- We create the capture zone task using the @{#TASK_CAPTURE_DISPATCHER.AddCaptureZoneTask}() constructor.
  -- 
  -- ## 2.1. Create the capture zones.
  -- 
  -- Because a capture zone task will not generate the capture zones, you'll need to create them first.
  -- 
  --     
  --     -- We define here a capture zone; of the type ZONE_CAPTURE_COALITION.
  --     -- The zone to be captured has the name Alpha, and was defined in the mission editor as a trigger zone.
  --     CaptureZone = ZONE:New( "Alpha" )
  --     CaptureZoneCoalitionApha = ZONE_CAPTURE_COALITION:New( CaptureZone, coalition.side.RED )
  -- 
  -- ## 2.2. Create a set of player groups.
  --    
  -- What is also needed, is to have a set of @{Core.Group}s defined that contains the clients of the players.
  -- 
  --     -- Allocate the player slots, which must be aircraft (airplanes or helicopters), that can be manned by players.
  --     -- We use the method FilterPrefixes to filter those player groups that have client slots, as defined in the mission editor.
  --     -- In this example, we filter the groups where the name starts with "Blue Player", which captures the blue player slots.
  --     local PlayerGroupSet = SET_GROUP:New():FilterPrefixes( "Blue Player" ):FilterStart()
  -- 
  -- ## 2.3. Setup the capture zone task.
  -- 
  -- First, we need to create a TASK_CAPTURE_DISPATCHER object.
  -- 
  --     TaskCaptureZoneDispatcher = TASK_CAPTURE_DISPATCHER:New( Mission, PilotGroupSet )
  -- 
  -- So, the variable `TaskCaptureZoneDispatcher` will contain the object of class TASK_CAPTURE_DISPATCHER, 
  -- which will allow you to dispatch capture zone tasks:
  --  
  --   * for mission `Mission`, as was defined in section 1.2.
  --   * for the group set `PilotGroupSet`, as was defined in section 2.2.
  -- 
  -- Now that we have `TaskDispatcher` object, we can now **create the TaskCaptureZone**, using the @{#TASK_CAPTURE_DISPATCHER.AddCaptureZoneTask}() method!
  -- 
  --     local TaskCaptureZone = TaskCaptureZoneDispatcher:AddCaptureZoneTask( 
  --       "Capture zone Alpha", 
  --       CaptureZoneCoalitionAlpha, 
  --       "Fly to zone Alpha and eliminate all enemy forces to capture it." )
  -- 
  -- As a result of this code, the `TaskCaptureZone` (returned) variable will contain an object of @{#TASK_CAPTURE_ZONE}!
  -- We pass to the method the title of the task, and the `CaptureZoneCoalitionAlpha`, which is the zone to be captured, as defined in section 2.1!
  -- This returned `TaskCaptureZone` object can now be used to setup additional task configurations, or to control this specific task with special events.
  -- 
  -- And you're done! As you can see, it is a small bit of work, but the reward is great.
  -- And, because all this is done using program interfaces, you can easily build a mission to capture zones yourself!
  -- Based on various events happening within your mission, you can use the above methods to create new capture zones, 
  -- and setup a new capture zone task and assign it to a group of players, while your mission is running!
