Module Tasking.Tasking.Task_A2A

Tasking - The TASK_A2A models tasks for players in Air to Air engagements.

Author: FlightControl

Contributions:

Global(s)

Global TASK_A2A

Defines Air To Air tasks for a Set of Target Units, based on the tasking capabilities defined in Tasking.Task#TASK.

#TASK_A2A TASK_A2A

Defines Air To Air tasks for a Set of Target Units, based on the tasking capabilities defined in Tasking.Task#TASK.

The TASK_A2A is implemented using a Core.Fsm#FSM_TASK, and has the following statuses:

None: Start of the process
Planned: The A2A task is planned.
Assigned: The A2A task is assigned to a Wrapper.Group#GROUP.
Success: The A2A task is successfully completed.
Failed: The A2A task has failed. This will happen if the player exists the task early, without communicating a possible cancellation to HQ.

1) Set the scoring of achievements in an A2A attack.

Scoring or penalties can be given in the following circumstances:

TASK_A2A.SetScoreOnDestroy(): Set a score when a target in scope of the A2A attack, has been destroyed.
TASK_A2A.SetScoreOnSuccess(): Set a score when all the targets in scope of the A2A attack, have been destroyed.
TASK_A2A.SetPenaltyOnFailed(): Set a penalty when the A2A attack has failed.

Global TASK_A2A_ENGAGE

Defines an engage task for a human player to be executed.

#TASK_A2A_ENGAGE TASK_A2A_ENGAGE

Defines an engage task for a human player to be executed.

When enemy planes are close to human players, use this task type is used urge the players to get out there!

The TASKA2AENGAGE is used by the Tasking.Task_A2A_Dispatcher#TASK_A2A_DISPATCHER to automatically create engage tasks based on detected airborne enemy targets intruding friendly airspace.

The task is defined for a Tasking.Mission#MISSION, where a friendly Core.Set#SET_GROUP consisting of GROUPs with one human players each, is engaging the targets. The task is given a name and a briefing, that is used in the menu structure and in the reporting.

Global TASK_A2A_INTERCEPT

Defines an intercept task for a human player to be executed.

#TASK_A2A_INTERCEPT TASK_A2A_INTERCEPT

Defines an intercept task for a human player to be executed.

When enemy planes need to be intercepted by human players, use this task type to urgen the players to get out there!

The TASKA2AINTERCEPT is used by the Tasking.Task_A2A_Dispatcher#TASK_A2A_DISPATCHER to automatically create intercept tasks based on detected airborne enemy targets intruding friendly airspace.

The task is defined for a Tasking.Mission#MISSION, where a friendly Core.Set#SET_GROUP consisting of GROUPs with one human players each, is intercepting the targets. The task is given a name and a briefing, that is used in the menu structure and in the reporting.

Global TASK_A2A_SWEEP

Defines a sweep task for a human player to be executed.

#TASK_A2A_SWEEP TASK_A2A_SWEEP

Defines a sweep task for a human player to be executed.

A sweep task needs to be given when targets were detected but somehow the detection was lost. Most likely, these enemy planes are hidden in the mountains or are flying under radar. These enemy planes need to be sweeped by human players, and use this task type to urge the players to get out there and find those enemy fighters.

The TASKA2ASWEEP is used by the Tasking.Task_A2A_Dispatcher#TASK_A2A_DISPATCHER to automatically create sweep tasks based on detected airborne enemy targets intruding friendly airspace, for which the detection has been lost for more than 60 seconds.

The task is defined for a Tasking.Mission#MISSION, where a friendly Core.Set#SET_GROUP consisting of GROUPs with one human players each, is sweeping the targets. The task is given a name and a briefing, that is used in the menu structure and in the reporting.
