Global CARGO_GROUP

Defines a cargo that is represented by a Wrapper.Group object within the simulator.

#CARGO_GROUP CARGO_GROUP

Defines a cargo that is represented by a Wrapper.Group object within the simulator.

The cargo can be Loaded, UnLoaded, Boarded, UnBoarded to and from Carriers.

The above cargo classes are used by the following AI_CARGO_ classes to allow AI groups to transport cargo:

The above cargo classes are also used by the TASK_CARGO_ classes to allow human players to transport cargo as part of a tasking:

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

CARGO_GROUP constructor.

This make a new CARGO_GROUP from a Wrapper.Group object. It will "ungroup" the group object within the sim, and will create a Core.Set of individual Unit objects.

Defined in:

CARGO_GROUP

Parameters:

Wrapper.Group#GROUP CargoGroup

Group to be transported as cargo.

#string Type

Cargo type, e.g. "Infantry". This is the type used in SET_CARGO:New():FilterTypes("Infantry") to define the valid cargo groups of the set.

#string Name

A user defined name of the cargo group. This name CAN be the same as the group object but can also have a different name. This name MUST be unique!

#number LoadRadius

(optional) Distance in meters until which a cargo is loaded into the carrier. Cargo outside this radius has to be routed by other means to within the radius to be loaded.

#number NearRadius

(optional) Once the units are within this radius of the carrier, they are actually loaded, i.e. disappear from the scene.

Return value:

Cargo group object.

Defined in:

CARGO_GROUP

Parameter:

Regroup the cargo group into one group with multiple unit.

This is required because by default a group will move in formation and this is really an issue for group control. Therefore this method is made to be able to regroup a group. This works for ground only groups.

Defined in:

CARGO_GROUP

Respawn the CargoGroup.

Defined in:

CARGO_GROUP

Route Cargo to Coordinate and randomize locations.

Defined in:

CARGO_GROUP

Parameter:

Smoke the CargoGroup.

Defined in:

CARGO_GROUP

Parameters:

The color of the smoke.

#number Radius

The radius of randomization around the center of the first element of the CargoGroup.

Ungroup the cargo group into individual groups with one unit.

This is required because by default a group will move in formation and this is really an issue for group control. Therefore this method is made to be able to ungroup a group. This works for ground only groups.
