Module Ops.PlayerRecce

Ops - Allow a player in a helo like the Gazelle, KA-50 to recon and lase ground targets.

Features:

  • Allow a player in a helicopter to detect, smoke, flare, lase and report ground units to others.
  • Implements visual detection from the helo
  • Implements optical detection via the Gazelle Vivianne system and lasing
  • KA-50 BlackShark basic support
  • Everyone else gets visual detection only
  • Upload target info to a PLAYERTASKCONTROLLER Instance

Demo Missions

Demo missions can be found on github.

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.

#boolean TraceOnOff
