Module `Set`

Core -- SET_ classes define collections of objects to perform bulk actions and logically group objects.

Banner Image

SET_ classes group objects of the same type into a collection, which is either:

Manually managed using the :Add...() or :Remove...() methods. The initial SET can be filtered with the **SET_BASE.FilterOnce()** method
Dynamically updated when new objects are created or objects are destroyed using the **SET_BASE.FilterStart()** method.

Various types of SET_ classes are available:

#SET_UNIT: Defines a colleciton of Units filtered by filter criteria.
#SET_GROUP: Defines a collection of Groups filtered by filter criteria.
#SET_CLIENT: Defines a collection of Clients filterd by filter criteria.
#SET_AIRBASE: Defines a collection of Airbases filtered by filter criteria.

These classes are derived from #SET_BASE, which contains the main methods to manage SETs.

A multitude of other methods are available in SET_ classes that allow to:

Validate the presence of objects in the SET.
Trigger events when objects in the SET change a zone presence.

#SET_AIRBASE SET_AIRBASE

5) SET_AIRBASE class, extends Set#SET_BASE

Mission designers can use the Set#SET_AIRBASE class to build sets of airbases optionally belonging to certain:

Coalitions

5.1) SET_AIRBASE constructor

Create a new SET_AIRBASE object with the SET_AIRBASE.New method:

SET_AIRBASE.New: Creates a new SET_AIRBASE object.

5.2) Add or Remove AIRBASEs from SET_AIRBASE

AIRBASEs can be added and removed using the Set#SET_AIRBASE.AddAirbasesByName and Set#SET_AIRBASE.RemoveAirbasesByName respectively. These methods take a single AIRBASE name or an array of AIRBASE names to be added or removed from SET_AIRBASE.

5.3) SET_AIRBASE filter criteria

You can set filter criteria to define the set of clients within the SET_AIRBASE. Filter criteria are defined by:

SET_AIRBASE.FilterCoalitions: Builds the SET_AIRBASE with the airbases belonging to the coalition(s).

Once the filter criteria have been set for the SET_AIRBASE, you can start filtering using:

SET_AIRBASE.FilterStart: Starts the filtering of the airbases within the SET_AIRBASE.

5.4) SET_AIRBASE iterators

Once the filters have been defined and the SETAIRBASE has been built, you can iterate the SETAIRBASE with the available iterator methods. The iterator methods will walk the SETAIRBASE set, and call for each airbase within the set a function that you provide. The following iterator methods are currently available within the SETAIRBASE:

SET_AIRBASE.ForEachAirbase: Calls a function for each airbase it finds within the SET_AIRBASE.

#SET_BASE SET_BASE

1) SET_BASE class, extends Base#BASE

The Set#SET_BASE class defines the core functions that define a collection of objects.

A SET provides iterators to iterate the SET, but will temporarily yield the ForEach interator loop at defined "intervals" to the mail simulator loop. In this way, large loops can be done while not blocking the simulator main processing loop. The default "yield interval" is after 10 objects processed. The default "time interval" is after 0.001 seconds.

1.1) Add or remove objects from the SET

Some key core functions are Set#SET_BASE.Add and Set#SET_BASE.Remove to add or remove objects from the SET in your logic.

1.2) Define the SET iterator "yield interval" and the "time interval"

Modify the iterator intervals with the Set#SET_BASE.SetInteratorIntervals method. You can set the "yield interval", and the "time interval". (See above).

#SET_CARGO SET_CARGO

Add or Remove CARGOs from SET_CARGO

CARGOs can be added and removed using the Set#SET_CARGO.AddCargosByName and Set#SET_CARGO.RemoveCargosByName respectively. These methods take a single CARGO name or an array of CARGO names to be added or removed from SET_CARGO.

SET_CARGO filter criteria

You can set filter criteria to automatically maintain the SET_CARGO contents. Filter criteria are defined by:

SET_CARGO.FilterCoalitions: Builds the SET_CARGO with the cargos belonging to the coalition(s).

#SET_GROUP SET_GROUP

SET_GROUP class, extends Set#SET_BASE

Mission designers can use the Set#SET_GROUP class to build sets of groups belonging to certain:

Coalitions
Categories
Countries
Starting with certain prefix strings.

1. SET_GROUP constructor

Create a new SET_GROUP object with the SET_GROUP.New method:

SET_GROUP.New: Creates a new SET_GROUP object.

2. Add or Remove GROUP(s) from SET_GROUP

GROUPS can be added and removed using the Set#SET_GROUP.AddGroupsByName and Set#SET_GROUP.RemoveGroupsByName respectively. These methods take a single GROUP name or an array of GROUP names to be added or removed from SET_GROUP.

3. SET_GROUP filter criteria

You can set filter criteria to define the set of groups within the SET_GROUP. Filter criteria are defined by:

SET_GROUP.FilterCoalitions: Builds the SET_GROUP with the groups belonging to the coalition(s).
SET_GROUP.FilterCategories: Builds the SET_GROUP with the groups belonging to the category(ies).
SET_GROUP.FilterCountries: Builds the SET_GROUP with the gruops belonging to the country(ies).
SET_GROUP.FilterPrefixes: Builds the SET_GROUP with the groups starting with the same prefix string(s).

For the Category Filter, extra methods have been added:

Planned filter criteria within development are (so these are not yet available):

SET_GROUP.FilterZones: Builds the SET_GROUP with the groups within a Zone#ZONE.

4. SET_GROUP iterators

Once the filters have been defined and the SETGROUP has been built, you can iterate the SETGROUP with the available iterator methods. The iterator methods will walk the SETGROUP set, and call for each element within the set a function that you provide. The following iterator methods are currently available within the SETGROUP:

SET_GROUP.ForEachGroup: Calls a function for each alive group it finds within the SET_GROUP.
SET_GROUP.ForEachGroupCompletelyInZone: Iterate the SET_GROUP and call an iterator function for each alive GROUP presence completely in a Zone, providing the GROUP and optional parameters to the called function.

SET_GROUP.ForEachGroupNotInZone: Iterate the SET_GROUP and call an iterator function for each alive GROUP presence not in a Zone, providing the GROUP and optional parameters to the called function.

5. SET_GROUP trigger events on the GROUP objects.

The SET is derived from the FSM class, which provides extra capabilities to track the contents of the GROUP objects in the SET_GROUP.

5.1. When a GROUP object crashes or is dead, the SET_GROUP will trigger a Dead event.

You can handle the event using the OnBefore and OnAfter event handlers. The event handlers need to have the paramters From, Event, To, GroupObject. The GroupObject is the GROUP object that is dead and within the SET_GROUP, and is passed as a parameter to the event handler. See the following example:

   -- Create the SetCarrier SET_GROUP collection.

   local SetHelicopter = SET_GROUP:New():FilterPrefixes( "Helicopter" ):FilterStart()

   -- Put a Dead event handler on SetCarrier, to ensure that when a carrier is destroyed, that all internal parameters are reset.

   function SetHelicopter:OnAfterDead( From, Event, To, GroupObject )
     self:F( { GroupObject = GroupObject:GetName() } )
   end

While this is a good example, there is a catch. Imageine you want to execute the code above, the the self would need to be from the object declared outside (above) the OnAfterDead method. So, the self would need to contain another object. Fortunately, this can be done, but you must use then the . notation for the method. See the modified example:

   -- Now we have a constructor of the class AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER, that receives the SetHelicopter as a parameter.
   -- Within that constructor, we want to set an enclosed event handler OnAfterDead for SetHelicopter.
   -- But within the OnAfterDead method, we want to refer to the self variable of the AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER.

   function AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER:New( SetCarrier, SetCargo, SetDeployZones )

     local self = BASE:Inherit( self, FSM:New() ) -- #AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER

     -- Put a Dead event handler on SetCarrier, to ensure that when a carrier is destroyed, that all internal parameters are reset.
     -- Note the "." notation, and the explicit declaration of SetHelicopter, which would be using the ":" notation the implicit self variable declaration.

     function SetHelicopter.OnAfterDead( SetHelicopter, From, Event, To, GroupObject )
       SetHelicopter:F( { GroupObject = GroupObject:GetName() } )
       self.PickupCargo[GroupObject] = nil  -- So here I clear the PickupCargo table entry of the self object AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER.
       self.CarrierHome[GroupObject] = nil
     end

   end
