- -

Tasking (Release 2.1) -- The TASK_CARGO models tasks for players to transport Cargo.

- - - -

Banner Image

- -
- -

The Moose framework provides various CARGO classes that allow DCS phisical or logical objects to be transported or sling loaded by Carriers. -The CARGO_ classes, as part of the moose core, are able to Board, Load, UnBoard and UnLoad cargo between Carrier units.

- -

This collection of classes in this module define tasks for human players to handle these cargo objects. -Cargo can be transported, picked-up, deployed and sling-loaded from and to other places.

- -

The following classes are important to consider:

- -
    -
  • #TASKCARGOTRANSPORT: Defines a task for a human player to transport a set of cargo between various zones.

TASK_CARGO class, extends Task#TASK

- -

A flexible tasking system

- -

The TASK_CARGO classes provide you with a flexible tasking sytem, -that allows you to transport cargo of various types between various locations -and various dedicated deployment zones.

- - - -

The cargo in scope of the TASKCARGO classes must be explicitly given, and is of type SETCARGO. -The SET_CARGO contains a collection of CARGO objects that must be handled by the players in the mission.

- - -

Task execution experience from the player perspective

- -

A human player can join the battle field in a client airborne slot or a ground vehicle within the CA module (ALT-J). -The player needs to accept the task from the task overview list within the mission, using the radio menus.

- -

Once the TASK_CARGO is assigned to the player and accepted by the player, the player will obtain -an extra Cargo Handling Radio Menu that contains the CARGO objects that need to be transported.

- -

Each CARGO object has a certain state:

- -
    -
  • UnLoaded: The CARGO is located within the battlefield. It may still need to be transported.
    • -
  • Loaded: The CARGO is loaded within a Carrier. This can be your air unit, or another air unit, or even a vehicle.
    • -
  • Boarding: The CARGO is running or moving towards your Carrier for loading.
    • -
  • UnBoarding: The CARGO is driving or jumping out of your Carrier and moves to a location in the Deployment Zone.
    • -
- -

Cargo must be transported towards different **Deployment Zones**.

- -

The Cargo Handling Radio Menu system allows to execute various actions to handle the cargo. -In the menu, you'll find for each CARGO, that is part of the scope of the task, various actions that can be completed. -Depending on the location of your Carrier unit, the menu options will vary.

- - -

Cargo Pickup and Boarding

- -

For cargo boarding, a cargo can only execute the boarding actions if it is within the foreseen Reporting Range. -Therefore, it is important that you steer your Carrier within the Reporting Range, -so that boarding actions can be executed on the cargo. -To Pickup and Board cargo, the following menu items will be shown in your carrier radio menu:

- -

Board Cargo

- -

If your Carrier is within the Reporting Range of the cargo, it will allow to pickup the cargo by selecting this menu option. -Depending on the Cargo type, the cargo will either move to your Carrier or you will receive instructions how to handle the cargo -pickup. If the cargo moves to your carrier, it will indicate the boarding status. -Note that multiple units need to board your Carrier, so it is required to await the full boarding process. -Once the cargo is fully boarded within your Carrier, you will be notified of this.

- -

Note that for airborne Carriers, it is required to land first before the Boarding process can be initiated. -If during boarding the Carrier gets airborne, the boarding process will be cancelled.

- -

Pickup Cargo

- -

If your Carrier is not within the Reporting Range of the cargo, the HQ will guide you to its location. -Routing information is shown in flight that directs you to the cargo within Reporting Range. -Upon arrival, the Cargo will contact you and further instructions will be given. -When your Carrier is airborne, you will receive instructions to land your Carrier. -The action will not be completed until you've landed your Carrier.

- - -

Cargo Deploy and UnBoarding

- -

Various Deployment Zones can be foreseen in the scope of the Cargo transportation. Each deployment zone can be of varying Zone type. -The Cargo Handling Radio Menu provides with menu options to execute an action to steer your Carrier to a specific Zone.

- -

UnBoard Cargo

- -

If your Carrier is already within a Deployment Zone, -then the Cargo Handling Radio Menu allows to UnBoard a specific cargo that is -loaded within your Carrier group into the Deployment Zone. -Note that the Unboarding process takes a while, as the cargo units (infantry or vehicles) must unload from your Carrier. -Ensure that you stay at the position or stay on the ground while Unboarding. -If any unforeseen manoeuvre is done by the Carrier, then the Unboarding will be cancelled.

- -

Deploy Cargo

- -

If your Carrier is not within a Deployment Zone, you'll need to fly towards one. -Fortunately, the Cargo Handling Radio Menu provides you with menu options to select a specific Deployment Zone to fly towards. -Once a Deployment Zone has been selected, your Carrier will receive routing information from HQ towards the Deployment Zone center. -Upon arrival, the HQ will provide you with further instructions. -When your Carrier is airborne, you will receive instructions to land your Carrier. -The action will not be completed until you've landed your Carrier!

- -

Handle TASK_CARGO Events ...

- -

The TASK_CARGO classes define Cargo transport tasks, -based on the tasking capabilities defined in Task#TASK.

- -

Specific TASK_CARGO Events

- -

Specific Cargo Handling event can be captured, that allow to trigger specific actions!

- -
    -
  • Boarded: Triggered when the Cargo has been Boarded into your Carrier.
    • -
  • UnBoarded: Triggered when the cargo has been Unboarded from your Carrier and has arrived at the Deployment Zone.
    • -
- -

Standard TASK_CARGO Events

- -

The TASK_CARGO is implemented using a Statemachine#FSM_TASK, and has the following standard statuses:

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