Each Mission is listed, with an indication how many Tasks are still to be completed.

Automatically accept tasks for all TaskGroups.

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. 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.

Define the method to be used to assign automatically a task from the available tasks in the mission.

There are 3 types of methods that can be applied for the moment:

1. Random - assigns a random task in the mission to the player.
2. Distance - assigns a task based on a distance evaluation from the player. The closest are to be assigned first.
3. Priority - assigns a task based on the priority as defined by the mission designer, using the SetTaskPriority parameter.

The different task classes implement the logic to determine the priority of automatic task assignment to a player, depending on one of the above methods. The method Tasking.Task#TASK.GetAutoAssignPriority calculate the priority of the tasks to be assigned.

Automatically assigns tasks to all TaskGroups.

One of the most important roles of the command center is the management of tasks. 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.

This command is called within the :New() method.

Set the commandcenter operations in WWII mode This will disable LL, MGRS, BRA, BULLS navigatin messages sent by the Command Center, and will be replaced by a navigation using Reference Zones.

It will also disable the settings at the settings menu for these.

Set special Reference Zones known by the Command Center to guide airborne pilots during WWII.

These Reference Zones are normal trigger zones, with a special naming. 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 center of the zone 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

Taking the above example, this is how this method would be used:

CC:SetReferenceZones( "Church" )
CC:SetReferenceZones( "Station" )

Set trace on or off Note that when trace is off, no BASE.Debug statement is performed, increasing performance! When Moose is loaded statically, (as one file), tracing is switched off by default.

So tracing must be switched on manually in your mission if you are using Moose statically. When moose is loading dynamically (for moose class development), tracing is switched on by default.
