<h1>1) <a href="##(AI_PATROL_ZONE)">#AI<em>PATROL</em>ZONE</a> class, extends <a href="Fsm.html##(FSM_CONTROLLABLE)">Fsm#FSM_CONTROLLABLE</a></h1>
<p>The <a href="##(AI_PATROL_ZONE)">#AI<em>PATROL</em>ZONE</a> class implements the core functions to patrol a <a href="Zone.html">Zone</a> by an AI <a href="Controllable.html">Controllable</a> or <a href="Group.html">Group</a>.</p>
<p>AI PATROL classes makes AI Controllables execute an Patrol.</p>
<p><img src="..\Presentations\AI_PATROL\Dia3.JPG" alt="Process"/></p>
<p>The AI<em>PATROL</em>ZONE is assigned a <a href="Group.html">Group</a> and this must be done before the AI<em>PATROL</em>ZONE process can be started using the <strong>Start</strong> event.</p>
<p><img src="..\Presentations\AI_PATROL\Dia4.JPG" alt="Process"/></p>
<p>The AI will fly towards the random 3D point within the patrol zone, using a random speed within the given altitude and speed limits.
Upon arrival at the 3D point, a new random 3D point will be selected within the patrol zone using the given limits.</p>
<p><img src="..\Presentations\AI_PATROL\Dia5.JPG" alt="Process"/></p>
<p>This cycle will continue.</p>
<p><img src="..\Presentations\AI_PATROL\Dia6.JPG" alt="Process"/></p>
<p>During the patrol, the AI will detect enemy targets, which are reported through the <strong>Detected</strong> event.</p>
<p><img src="..\Presentations\AI_PATROL\Dia9.JPG" alt="Process"/></p>
<p>-- Note that the enemy is not engaged! To model enemy engagement, either tailor the <strong>Detected</strong> event, or
use derived AI_ classes to model AI offensive or defensive behaviour.</p>
<p><img src="..\Presentations\AI_PATROL\Dia10.JPG" alt="Process"/></p>
<p>Until a fuel or damage treshold has been reached by the AI, or when the AI is commanded to RTB.
When the fuel treshold has been reached, the airplane will fly towards the nearest friendly airbase and will land.</p>

<h2>1.1) AI<em>PATROL</em>ZONE constructor</h2>
<p>There are the following types of PATROL classes defined:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="##(AI_PATROL_ZONE).New">AI<em>PATROL</em>ZONE.New</a>(): Creates a new AI<em>PATROL</em>ZONE object.</li>
<li><a href="##(AI_PATROL_ZONE)">#AI<em>PATROL</em>ZONE</a>: Perform a PATROL in a zone.</li>
</ul>
<h2>1.2) AI<em>PATROL</em>ZONE is a FSM</h2>
<p><img src="..\Presentations\AI_PATROL\Dia2.JPG" alt="Process"/></p>
<h3>1.2.1) AI<em>PATROL</em>ZONE States</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>None</strong> ( Group ): The process is not started yet.</li>
<li><strong>Patrolling</strong> ( Group ): The AI is patrolling the Patrol Zone.</li>
<li><strong>Returning</strong> ( Group ): The AI is returning to Base.</li>
<li><strong>Stopped</strong> ( Group ): The process is stopped.</li>
<li><strong>Crashed</strong> ( Group ): The AI has crashed or is dead.</li>
</ul>
<h3>1.2.2) AI<em>PATROL</em>ZONE Events</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Start</strong> ( Group ): Start the process.</li>
<li><strong>Stop</strong> ( Group ): Stop the process.</li>
<li><strong>Route</strong> ( Group ): Route the AI to a new random 3D point within the Patrol Zone.</li>
<li><strong>RTB</strong> ( Group ): Route the AI to the home base.</li>
<li><strong>Detect</strong> ( Group ): The AI is detecting targets.</li>
<li><strong>Detected</strong> ( Group ): The AI has detected new targets.</li>
<li><strong>Status</strong> ( Group ): The AI is checking status (fuel and damage). When the tresholds have been reached, the AI will RTB.</li>
</ul>
<h2>1.3) Set or Get the AI controllable</h2>
<ul>
<li><a href="##(AI_PATROL_ZONE).SetControllable">AI<em>PATROL</em>ZONE.SetControllable</a>(): Set the AIControllable.</li>
<li><a href="##(AI_PATROL_ZONE).GetControllable">AI<em>PATROL</em>ZONE.GetControllable</a>(): Get the AIControllable.</li>
</ul>
<h2>1.4) Set the Speed and Altitude boundaries of the AI controllable</h2>
<ul>
<li><a href="##(AI_PATROL_ZONE).SetSpeed">AI<em>PATROL</em>ZONE.SetSpeed</a>(): Set the patrol speed boundaries of the AI, for the next patrol.</li>
<li><a href="##(AI_PATROL_ZONE).SetAltitude">AI<em>PATROL</em>ZONE.SetAltitude</a>(): Set altitude boundaries of the AI, for the next patrol.</li>
</ul>
<h2>1.5) Manage the detection process of the AI controllable</h2>
<p>The detection process of the AI controllable can be manipulated.
Detection requires an amount of CPU power, which has an impact on your mission performance.
Only put detection on when absolutely necessary, and the frequency of the detection can also be set.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="##(AI_PATROL_ZONE).SetDetectionOn">AI<em>PATROL</em>ZONE.SetDetectionOn</a>(): Set the detection on. The AI will detect for targets.</li>
<li><a href="##(AI_PATROL_ZONE).SetDetectionOff">AI<em>PATROL</em>ZONE.SetDetectionOff</a>(): Set the detection off, the AI will not detect for targets. The existing target list will NOT be erased.</li>
</ul>
<p>The detection frequency can be set with <a href="##(AI_PATROL_ZONE).SetDetectionInterval">AI<em>PATROL</em>ZONE.SetDetectionInterval</a>( seconds ), where the amount of seconds specify how much seconds will be waited before the next detection.
Use the method <a href="##(AI_PATROL_ZONE).GetDetectedUnits">AI<em>PATROL</em>ZONE.GetDetectedUnits</a>() to obtain a list of the <a href="Unit.html">Unit</a>s detected by the AI.</p>
<p>The detection can be filtered to potential targets in a specific zone.
Use the method <a href="##(AI_PATROL_ZONE).SetDetectionZone">AI<em>PATROL</em>ZONE.SetDetectionZone</a>() to set the zone where targets need to be detected.
Note that when the zone is too far away, or the AI is not heading towards the zone, or the AI is too high, no targets may be detected
according the weather conditions.</p>
<h2>1.6) Manage the "out of fuel" in the AI<em>PATROL</em>ZONE</h2>
<p>When the AI is out of fuel, it is required that a new AI is started, before the old AI can return to the home base.
Therefore, with a parameter and a calculation of the distance to the home base, the fuel treshold is calculated.
When the fuel treshold is reached, the AI will continue for a given time its patrol task in orbit,
while a new AI is targetted to the AI<em>PATROL</em>ZONE.
Once the time is finished, the old AI will return to the base.
Use the method <a href="##(AI_PATROL_ZONE).ManageFuel">AI<em>PATROL</em>ZONE.ManageFuel</a>() to have this proces in place.</p>
<h2>1.7) Manage "damage" behaviour of the AI in the AI<em>PATROL</em>ZONE</h2>
<p>When the AI is damaged, it is required that a new AIControllable is started. However, damage cannon be foreseen early on.
Therefore, when the damage treshold is reached, the AI will return immediately to the home base (RTB).
Use the method <a href="##(AI_PATROL_ZONE).ManageDamage">AI<em>PATROL</em>ZONE.ManageDamage</a>() to have this proces in place.</p>
