--
-- The TASK_CARGO class defines @{Cargo} transport tasks,
-- ## 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 TASK_CARGO classes must be explicitly given, and is of type SET_CARGO.
-- 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 @{Zone}s**.
--
-- 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}.
-- The TASK_CARGO is implemented using a @{Statemachine#FSM_TASK}, and has the following statuses:

-- ### Specific TASK_CARGO Events
