Global(s)
Global DETECTION_ZONES |

(old, to be revised ) Detect units within the battle zone for a list of Core.Zones detecting targets following (a) detection method(s), and will build a list (table) of Core.Set#SET_UNITs containing the Wrapper.Unit#UNITs detected.
The class is group the detected units within zones given a DetectedZoneRange parameter. A set with multiple detected zones will be created as there are groups of units detected.
4.1) Retrieve the Detected Unit Sets and Detected Zones
The methods to manage the DetectedItems[].Set(s) are implemented in Functional.Detection#DECTECTION_BASE and the methods to manage the DetectedItems[].Zone(s) is implemented in Functional.Detection#DETECTION_ZONES.
Retrieve the DetectedItems[].Set with the method Functional.Detection#DETECTION_BASE.GetDetectedSet(). A Core.Set#SET_UNIT object will be returned.
Retrieve the formed Core.Zone#ZONE_UNITs as a result of the grouping the detected units within the DetectionZoneRange, use the method Functional.Detection#DETECTION_BASE.GetDetectionZones(). To understand the amount of zones created, use the method Functional.Detection#DETECTION_BASE.GetDetectionZoneCount(). If you want to obtain a specific zone from the DetectedZones, use the method Functional.Detection#DETECTION_BASE.GetDetectionZone() with a given index.
4.4) Flare or Smoke detected units
Use the methods Functional.Detection#DETECTION_ZONES.FlareDetectedUnits() or Functional.Detection#DETECTION_ZONES.SmokeDetectedUnits() to flare or smoke the detected units when a new detection has taken place.
4.5) Flare or Smoke or Bound detected zones
Use the methods:
- Functional.Detection#DETECTION_ZONES.FlareDetectedZones() to flare in a color
- Functional.Detection#DETECTION_ZONES.SmokeDetectedZones() to smoke in a color
- Functional.Detection#DETECTION_ZONES.SmokeDetectedZones() to bound with a tire with a white flag
the detected zones when a new detection has taken place.

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%

Return value:
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%.

This will allow during friendly search any recce or detection unit to be also considered as a friendly.
By default, recce aren't considered friendly, because that would mean that a recce would be also an attacking friendly, and this is wrong.
