#AI_CARGO_SHIP AI_CARGO_SHIP

Brings a dynamic cargo handling capability for an AI naval group.

Naval ships can be utilized to transport cargo around the map following naval shipping lanes. The AI_CARGO_SHIP class uses the Cargo.Cargo capabilities within the MOOSE framework. Cargo.Cargo must be declared within the mission or warehouse to make the AI_CARGO_SHIP recognize the cargo. Please consult the Cargo.Cargo module for more information.

Cargo loading.

The module will automatically load cargo when the Ship is within boarding or loading radius. The boarding or loading radius is specified when the cargo is created in the simulation and depends on the type of cargo and the specified boarding radius.

Defending the Ship when enemies are nearby

This is not supported for naval cargo because most tanks don't float. Protect your transports...

Infantry or cargo health.

When cargo is unboarded from the Ship, the cargo is actually respawned into the battlefield. As a result, the unboarding cargo 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 newly spawned units as a parameter. However, cargo that was destroyed when unboarded and following the Ship won't be respawned again (this is likely not a thing for naval cargo due to the lack of support for defending the Ship mentioned above). 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. Given the relatively short duration of DCS missions and the somewhat lengthy naval transport times, most units entering the Ship as cargo will be freshly en route to an amphibious landing or transporting between warehouses.

Control the Ships on the map.

Currently, naval transports can only be controlled via scripts due to their reliance upon predefined Shipping Lanes created in the Mission Editor. An interesting future enhancement could leverage new pathfinding functionality for ships in the Ops module.

Cargo deployment.

Using the AI_CARGO_SHIP.Deploy() method, you are able to direct the Ship towards a Deploy zone to unboard/unload the cargo at the specified coordinate. The Ship will follow the Shipping Lane to ensure consistent cargo transportation within the simulation environment.

Cargo pickup.

Using the AI_CARGO_SHIP.Pickup() method, you are able to direct the Ship towards a Pickup zone to board/load the cargo at the specified coordinate. The Ship will follow the Shipping Lane to ensure consistent cargo transportation within the simulation environment.

Developer Note

Note while this class still works, it is no longer supported as the original author stopped active development of MOOSE Therefore, this class is considered to be deprecated
