The STORAGE Concept
The STORAGE class offers an easy-to-use wrapper interface to all DCS API functions of DCS warehouses.
We named the class STORAGE, because the name WAREHOUSE is already taken by another MOOSE class.
This class allows you to add and remove items to a DCS warehouse, such as aircraft, liquids, weapons and other equipment.
Constructor
A DCS warehouse is associated with an airbase. Therefore, a STORAGE instance is automatically created, once an airbase is registered and added to the MOOSE database.
You can get the STORAGE object from the
-- Create a STORAGE instance of the Batumi warehouse
local storage=STORAGE:FindByName("Batumi")
An other way to get the STORAGE object is to retrieve it from the AIRBASE function AIRBASE:GetStorage()
-- Get storage instance of Batumi airbase
local Batumi=AIRBASE:FindByName("Batumi")
local storage=Batumi:GetStorage()
Aircraft, Weapons and Equipment
Adding Items
To add aircraft, weapons and/or othe equipment, you can use the STORAGE.AddItem() function
storage:AddItem("A-10C", 3)
storage:AddItem("weapons.missiles.AIM_120C", 10)
This will add three A-10Cs and ten AIM-120C missiles to the warehouse inventory.
Setting Items
You can also explicitly set, how many items are in the inventory with the STORAGE.SetItem() function.
Removing Items
Items can be removed from the inventory with the STORAGE.RemoveItem() function.
Getting Amount
The number of items currently in the inventory can be obtained with the STORAGE.GetItemAmount() function
local N=storage:GetItemAmount("A-10C")
env.info(string.format("We currently have %d A-10Cs available", N))
Liquids
Liquids can be added and removed by slightly different functions as described below. Currently there are four types of liquids
- Jet fuel
STORAGE.Liquid.JETFUEL - Aircraft gasoline
STORAGE.Liquid.GASOLINE - MW 50
STORAGE.Liquid.MW50 - Diesel
STORAGE.Liquid.DIESEL
Adding Liquids
To add a certain type of liquid, you can use the STORAGE.AddItem(Type, Amount) function
storage:AddLiquid(STORAGE.Liquid.JETFUEL, 10000)
storage:AddLiquid(STORAGE.Liquid.DIESEL, 20000)
This will add 10,000 kg of jet fuel and 20,000 kg of diesel to the inventory.
Setting Liquids
You can also explicitly set the amount of liquid with the STORAGE.SetLiquid(Type, Amount) function.
Removing Liquids
Liquids can be removed with STORAGE.RemoveLiquid(Type, Amount) function.
Getting Amount
The current amount of a certain liquid can be obtained with the STORAGE.GetLiquidAmount(Type) function
local N=storage:GetLiquidAmount(STORAGE.Liquid.DIESEL)
env.info(string.format("We currently have %d kg of Diesel available", N))
Inventory
The current inventory of the warehouse can be obtained with the STORAGE.GetInventory() function. This returns three tables with the aircraft, liquids and weapons:
local aircraft, liquids, weapons=storage:GetInventory()
UTILS.PrintTableToLog(aircraft)
UTILS.PrintTableToLog(liquids)
UTILS.PrintTableToLog(weapons)

Trace all methods in MOOSE
Set tracing for a class
Set tracing for a specific method of class
Set trace off.
Set trace on.
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.
