Module Ops.Cohort

Ops - Cohort encompassed all characteristics of SQUADRONs, PLATOONs and FLOTILLAs.

Main Features:

  • Set parameters like livery, skill valid for all cohort members.
  • Define modex and callsigns.
  • Define mission types, this cohort can perform (see Ops.Auftrag#AUFTRAG).
  • Pause/unpause cohort operations.

Defined in:

Parameters:

#table From

Can contain a string indicating the From state or a table of strings containing multiple From states.

#string Event

The Event name.

An sub-process FSM.

#table ReturnEvents

A table indicating for which returned events of the SubFSM which Event must be triggered in the FSM.

Return value:

The SubFSM.

Adds a score for the FSM to be achieved.

Defined in:

Parameters:

#string State

is the state of the process when the score needs to be given. (See the relevant state descriptions of the process).

#string ScoreText

is a text describing the score that is given according the status.

#number Score

is a number providing the score of the status.

Return value:

#FSM:

self

Adds a score for the FSM_PROCESS to be achieved.

Defined in:

Parameters:

#string From

is the From State of the main process.

#string Event

is the Event of the main process.

#string State

is the state of the process when the score needs to be given. (See the relevant state descriptions of the process).

#string ScoreText

is a text describing the score that is given according the status.

#number Score

is a number providing the score of the status.

Return value:

#FSM:

self

Add a new transition rule to the FSM.

A transition rule defines when and if the FSM can transition from a state towards another state upon a triggered event.
