I once donated a pint of my finest red corpuscles to the great American Red Cross and the doctor opined my blood was very helpful; contained so much alcohol they could use it to sterilize their instruments.

AICSAR Concept

For an AI or human pilot landing with a parachute, a rescue mission will be spawned.

The helicopter will fly to the pilot, pick him or her up, and fly back to a designated MASH (medical) zone, drop the pilot and then return to base. Operational maxdistance can be set as well as the landing radius around the downed pilot. Keep in mind that AI helicopters cannot hover-load at the time of writing, so rescue operations over water or in the mountains might not work. Optionally, if you have a CSAR operation with human pilots in your mission, you can set AICSAR to ignore missions when human helicopter pilots are around.

Setup

Setup is a one-liner:

       -- @param #string Alias Name of this instance.
       -- @param #number Coalition Coalition as in coalition.side.BLUE, can also be passed as "blue", "red" or "neutral"
       -- @param #string Pilottemplate Pilot template name.
       -- @param #string Helotemplate Helicopter template name. Set the template to "cold start". Hueys work best.
       -- @param Wrapper.Airbase#AIRBASE FARP FARP object or Airbase from where to start.
       -- @param Core.Zone#ZONE MASHZone Zone where to drop pilots after rescue.
       local my_aicsar=AICSAR:New("Luftrettung",coalition.side.BLUE,"Downed Pilot","Rescue Helo",AIRBASE:FindByName("Test FARP"),ZONE:New("MASH"))

Options are

       my_aicsar.maxdistance -- maximum operational distance in meters. Defaults to 50NM or 92.6km
       my_aicsar.rescuezoneradius -- landing zone around downed pilot. Defaults to 200m
       my_aicsar.autoonoff -- stop operations when human helicopter pilots are around. Defaults to true.
       my_aicsar.verbose -- text messages to own coalition about ongoing operations. Defaults to true.
       my_aicsar.limithelos -- limit available number of helos going on mission (defaults to true)
       my_aicsar.helonumber -- number of helos available (default: 3)
       my_aicsar.verbose -- boolean, set to `true`for message output on-screen

Radio output options

Radio messages, soundfile names and (for SRS) lengths are defined in three enumerators, so you can customize, localize messages and soundfiles to your liking:

Defaults are:

       AICSAR.Messages = {
         EN = {
         INITIALOK = "Roger, Pilot, we hear you. Stay where you are, a helo is on the way!",
         INITIALNOTOK = "Sorry, Pilot. You're behind maximum operational distance! Good Luck!",
         PILOTDOWN = "Mayday, mayday, mayday! Pilot down at ", -- note that this will be appended with the position in MGRS
         PILOTKIA = "Pilot KIA!",
         HELODOWN = "CSAR Helo Down!",
         PILOTRESCUED = "Pilot rescued!",
         PILOTINHELO = "Pilot picked up!",
         },
       }

Correspondingly, sound file names are defined as these defaults:

       AICSAR.RadioMessages = {
         EN = {
         INITIALOK = "initialok.ogg",
         INITIALNOTOK = "initialnotok.ogg",
         PILOTDOWN = "pilotdown.ogg",
         PILOTKIA = "pilotkia.ogg", 
         HELODOWN = "helodown.ogg", 
         PILOTRESCUED = "pilotrescued.ogg", 
         PILOTINHELO = "pilotinhelo.ogg",
         }, 
       }

and these default transmission lengths in seconds:

       AICSAR.RadioLength = {
         EN = {
         INITIALOK = 4.1,
         INITIALNOTOK = 4.6, 
         PILOTDOWN = 2.6,
         PILOTKIA = 1.1,
         HELODOWN = 2.1,
         PILOTRESCUED = 3.5,
         PILOTINHELO = 2.6,
         },
       }

Radio output via SRS and Text-To-Speech (TTS)

Radio output can be done via SRS and Text-To-Speech. No extra sound files required! Initially, Have a look at the guide on setting up SRS TTS for Moose. The text from the AICSAR.Messages table above is converted on the fly to an .ogg-file, which is then played back via SRS on the selected frequency and mdulation. Hint - the small black window popping up shortly is visible in Single-Player only.

To set up AICSAR for SRS TTS output, add e.g. the following to your script:

         -- setup for google TTS, radio 243 AM, SRS server port 5002 with a google standard-quality voice (google cloud account required)
         my_aicsar:SetSRSTTSRadio(true,"C:\\Program Files\\DCS-SimpleRadio-Standalone",243,radio.modulation.AM,5002,MSRS.Voices.Google.Standard.en_US_Standard_D,"en-US","female","C:\\Program Files\\DCS-SimpleRadio-Standalone\\google.json")

         -- alternatively for MS Desktop TTS (voices need to be installed locally first!)
         my_aicsar:SetSRSTTSRadio(true,"C:\\Program Files\\DCS-SimpleRadio-Standalone",243,radio.modulation.AM,5002,MSRS.Voices.Microsoft.Hazel,"en-GB","female")

         -- define a different voice for the downed pilot(s)
         my_aicsar:SetPilotTTSVoice(MSRS.Voices.Google.Standard.en_AU_Standard_D,"en-AU","male")

         -- define another voice for the operator
         my_aicsar:SetOperatorTTSVoice(MSRS.Voices.Google.Standard.en_GB_Standard_A,"en-GB","female")

Radio output via preproduced soundfiles

The easiest way to add a soundfile to your mission is to use the "Sound to..." trigger in the mission editor. This will effectively save your sound file inside of the .miz mission file. Example soundfiles are located on github

To customize or localize your texts and sounds, you can take e.g. the following approach to add a German language version:

      -- parameters are: locale, ID, text, soundfilename, duration
      my_aicsar.gettext:AddEntry("de","INITIALOK","Copy, Pilot, wir hören Sie. Bleiben Sie, wo Sie sind, ein Hubschrauber sammelt Sie auf!","okneu.ogg",5.0)
      my_aicsar.locale = "de" -- plays and shows the defined German language texts and sound. Fallback is "en", if something is undefined.

Switch on radio transmissions via either SRS or "normal" DCS radio e.g. like so:

     my_aicsar:SetSRSRadio(true,"C:\\Program Files\\DCS-SimpleRadio-Standalone",270,radio.modulation.AM,nil,5002)

or

     my_aicsar:SetDCSRadio(true,300,radio.modulation.AM,GROUP:FindByName("FARP-Radio"))

See the function documentation for parameter details.

Schedule a new time event.

Note that the schedule will only take place if the scheduler is started. Even for a single schedule event, the scheduler needs to be started also.

Defined in:

Parameters:

#number Start

Specifies the amount of seconds that will be waited before the scheduling is started, and the event function is called.

#function SchedulerFunction

The event function to be called when a timer event occurs. The event function needs to accept the parameters specified in SchedulerArguments.

#table ...

Optional arguments that can be given as part of scheduler. The arguments need to be given as a table { param1, param 2, ... }.

Return value:

#string:

The Schedule ID of the planned schedule.

Schedule a new time event.

Note that the schedule will only take place if the scheduler is started. Even for a single schedule event, the scheduler needs to be started also.

Defined in:

Parameters:

#number Start

Specifies the amount of seconds that will be waited before the scheduling is started, and the event function is called.

#number Repeat

Specifies the interval in seconds when the scheduler will call the event function.

#number RandomizeFactor

Specifies a randomization factor between 0 and 1 to randomize the Repeat.

#number Stop

Specifies the amount of seconds when the scheduler will be stopped.

#function SchedulerFunction

The event function to be called when a timer event occurs. The event function needs to accept the parameters specified in SchedulerArguments.

#table ...

Optional arguments that can be given as part of scheduler. The arguments need to be given as a table { param1, param 2, ... }.

Return value:

#string:

The Schedule ID of the planned schedule.

Defined in:

Parameter:

#string SchedulerID

(Optional) Scheduler ID to be stopped. If nil, all pending schedules are stopped.

Set the Class Core.Event processing Priority.

The Event processing Priority is a number from 1 to 10, reflecting the order of the classes subscribed to the Event to be processed.

Defined in:

Parameter:

#number EventPriority

The Core.Event processing Priority.

Return value:

self

Set a state or property of the Object given a Key and a Value.

Note that if the Object is destroyed, set to nil, or garbage collected, then the Values and Keys will also be gone.

Defined in:

Parameters:

Object

The object that will hold the Value set by the Key.

Key

The key that is used as a reference of the value. Note that the key can be a #string, but it can also be any other type!

Value

The value to is stored in the object.

Return value:

The Value set.

Parameter:

#number Level

Set trace off.

Defined in:

Usage:

-- Switch the tracing Off
BASE:TraceOff()

Set trace on.

Defined in:

Usage:

-- Switch the tracing On
BASE:TraceOn()

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.

Defined in:

Parameter:

#boolean TraceOnOff

Switch the tracing on or off.

Usage:


  -- Switch the tracing On
  BASE:TraceOnOff( true )

  -- Switch the tracing Off
  BASE:TraceOnOff( false )
