Class MOVEMENT

+

Limit the simultaneous movement of Groups within a running Mission.

+

This module is defined to improve the performance in missions, and to bring additional realism for GROUND vehicles. + Performance: If in a DCSRTE there are a lot of moving GROUND units, then in a multi player mission, this WILL create lag if + the main DCS execution core of your CPU is fully utilized. So, this class will limit the amount of simultaneous moving GROUND units + on defined intervals (currently every minute).

+ + +

Methods

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
MOVEMENT:New (MovePrefixes, MoveMaximum)Creates the main object which is handling the GROUND forces movement.
MOVEMENT:ScheduleStart ()Call this function to start the MOVEMENT scheduling.
MOVEMENT:ScheduleStop ()Call this function to stop the MOVEMENT scheduling.
MOVEMENT:OnBirth (event)Captures the birth events when new Units were spawned.
MOVEMENT:OnDeadOrCrash (event)Captures the Dead or Crash events when Units crash or are destroyed.
MOVEMENT:_Scheduler ()This function is called automatically by the MOVEMENT scheduler.
+ +
+
+ + +

Methods

+ +
+
+ + MOVEMENT:New (MovePrefixes, MoveMaximum) +
+
+ Creates the main object which is handling the GROUND forces movement. + + +

Parameters:

+
    +
  • MovePrefixes + table{string,...} or string + is a table of the Prefixes (names) of the GROUND Groups that need to be controlled by the MOVEMENT Object. +
    • +
  • MoveMaximum + number + is a number that defines the maximum amount of GROUND Units to be moving during one minute. +
    • +
+ +

Returns:

+
    + + MOVEMENT + + + +
+ + + +

Usage:

+
    + 
    + -- Limit the amount of simultaneous moving units on the ground to prevent lag.
+ Movement_US_Platoons = MOVEMENT:New( { 'US Tank Platoon Left', 'US Tank Platoon Middle', 'US Tank Platoon Right', 'US CH-47D Troops' }, 15 )

Scheduled

+ + +
+
+ + SPAWN:_Scheduler () +
+
+ This function is called automatically by the Spawning scheduler. + It is the internal worker method SPAWNing new Groups on the defined time intervals. + + + + + + + +
+
+

Public

+ + +
+
+ + SPAWN:New (SpawnPrefix) +
+
+ +

Creates the main object to spawn a Group defined in the DCS ME. + Spawned Groups and Units will follow the following naming convention within the DCS World run-time environment:

+
   Groups will have the name SpawnPrefix#ggg, where ggg is a counter from 0 to 999 for each new spawned Group.
+   Units will have the name SpawnPrefix#ggg-uu, where uu is a counter from 0 to 99 for each new spawned Unit belonging to that Group.
+
+ + + +

Parameters:

+
    +
  • SpawnPrefix + string + is the name of the Group in the ME that defines the Template. That Group must have the flag "Late Activation" set. Note that this SpawnPrefix name should not contain any # character. +
    • +
+ +

Returns:

+
    + + SPAWN + + + +
+ + + +

Usage:

+
    + 
    + -- NATO helicopters engaging in the battle field.
+ Spawn_BE_KA50 = SPAWN:New( 'BE KA-50@RAMP-Ground Defense' )
    +
+ +
+
+ + SPAWN:RandomizeRoute (SpawnStartPoint, SpawnEndPoint, SpawnRadius) +
+
+ Randomizes a defined route of the Template Group in the ME when the Group is Spawned. This is very useful to define extra variation in the DCS World run-time environment of the behaviour of Groups like Ground Units, Ships, Planes, Helicopters. + + +

Parameters:

+
    +
  • SpawnStartPoint + number + is the waypoint where the randomization begins. Note that the StartPoint = 0 equals the point where the Group is Spawned. This parameter is useful to avoid randomization to start from the first waypoint, but a bit further down the route... +
    • +
  • SpawnEndPoint + number + is the waypoint where the randomization ends. this parameter is useful to avoid randomization to end at a waypoint earlier than the last waypoint on the route. +
    • +
  • SpawnRadius + number + is the radius in meters, that defines the concentric circle in which the randomization of the new waypoint will take place, with the original waypoint located in the middle... +
    • +
+ +

Returns:

+
    + + SPAWN + + + +
+ + + +

Usage:

+
    + 
    + -- NATO helicopters engaging in the battle field.
+ -- The KA-50 has waypoints SP, 1, 2, 3, 4, DP.
+ -- Waypoints 2 and 3 will only be randomized. The others will remain on their original position with each new ${SPAWN} of the helicopter.
+ -- The randomization of waypoint 2 and 3 will take place within a diameter of 4000 meters.
+ Spawn_BE_KA50 = SPAWN:New( 'BE KA-50@RAMP-Ground Defense' ):RandomizeRoute( 2, 2, 2000 )
    +
+ +
+
+ + SPAWN:Schedule (SpawnTime, SpawnTimeVariation) +
+
+ SPAWNs a new Group within varying time intervals. This is useful if you want to have continuity within your missions of certain (AI) Groups to be present (alive) within your missions. + + +

Parameters:

+
    +
  • SpawnTime + number + is the time interval defined in seconds between each new SPAWN of new Groups. +
    • +
  • SpawnTimeVariation + number + is the variation to be applied on the defined time interval between each new SPAWN. The variation is defined as a value between 0 and 1, which expresses the %-tage of variation to be applied as the low and high time interval boundaries. Between these boundaries a new time interval will be applied. See usage. +
    • +
+ +

Returns:

+
    + + SPAWN + + + +
+ + + +

Usage:

+
    + 
    + -- NATO helicopters engaging in the battle field.
+ -- The time interval is set to SPAWN new helicopters between each 600 seconds, with a time variation of 50%.
+ -- The time variation in this case will be between 450 seconds and 750 seconds.
+ -- This is calculated as follows:
+ --      Low limit:   600 * ( 1 - 0.5 / 2 ) = 450
+ --      High limit:  600 * ( 1 + 0.5 / 2 ) = 750
+ -- Between these two values, a random amount of seconds will be choosen for each new SPAWN of the helicopters.
+ Spawn_BE_KA50 = SPAWN:New( 'BE KA-50@RAMP-Ground Defense' ):Schedule( 600, 0.5 )
    +
+ +
+
+ + SPAWN:ScheduleStart () +
+
+ Will start the SPAWNing timers. + This function is called automatically when Schedule is called. + + + + + + + +
+
+ + SPAWN:ScheduleStop () +
+
+ Will stop the scheduled SPAWNing activity. + + + + + + + +
+
+ + SPAWN:Limit (SpawnMaxGroupsAlive, SpawnMaxGroups) +
+
+ Limits the Maximum amount of Units to be alive, and the maximum amount of Groups to be SPAWNed within the DCS World run-time environment. + Note that this method is exceptionally important to balance the amount of Units alive within the DCSRTE and the performance of the mission. Depending on the machine etc, a mission can only process a maximum amount of units. + If the time interval must be short, but there should not be more Units or Groups alive than a maximum amount of units, then this function should be used... + + +

Parameters:

+
    +
  • SpawnMaxGroupsAlive + number + is the Maximum amount of Units to be alive. When there are more Units alive in the DCSRTE of SpawnPrefix, then no new SPAWN will happen of the Group, until some of these Units will be destroyed. +
    • +
  • SpawnMaxGroups + number + +

    is the Maximum amount of Groups that can be SPAWNed from SpawnPrefix. When there are more Groups alive in the DCSRTE of SpawnPrefix, then no more SPAWNs will happen of the Group. This parameter is useful to define a maximum amount of airplanes, ground troops, helicopters, ships etc within a supply area.

    +
        This parameter accepts the value 0, which expresses no Group count limits.
+
    + +
    • +
+ +

Returns:

+
    + + SPAWN + + + +
+ + + +

Usage:

+
    + 
    + -- NATO helicopters engaging in the battle field.
+ -- This helicopter group consists of one Unit. So, this group will SPAWN maximum 2 groups simultaneously within the DCSRTE.
+ -- There will be maximum 24 groups SPAWNed during the whole mission lifetime.
+ Spawn_BE_KA50 = SPAWN:New( 'BE KA-50@RAMP-Ground Defense' ):Limit( 2, 24 )
    +
+ +
+
+ + SPAWN:RandomizeTemplate (SpawnPrefixTable) +
+
+ This function is rather complicated to understand. But I'll try to explain... + This function becomes useful when you need to SPAWN random types of Groups defined within the ME, but they all need to follow the same Template route and have the same SpawnPrefix name, then this method becomes very useful. + + +

Parameters:

+
    +
  • SpawnPrefixTable + table{string,...} + is a table with the names of the Groups defined within the ME (with late activatio on), from which on a new SPAWN of SpawnPrefix (the main Group name), a NEW Group will be choosen as the Group to be SPAWNed. + In other words, this method randomizes between a defined set of Groups the Group to be SPAWNed for each new SPAWN. +
    • +
+ +

Returns:

+
    + + SPAWN + + + +
+ + + +

Usage:

+
    + 
    + -- NATO Tank Platoons invading Gori.
+ -- Choose between 13 different 'US Tank Platoon' configurations for each new SPAWN the Group to be SPAWNed for the
+ -- 'US Tank Platoon Left', 'US Tank Platoon Middle' and 'US Tank Platoon Right' SpawnPrefixes.
+ -- Each new SPAWN will randomize the route, with a defined time interval of 200 seconds with 40% time variation (randomization) and
+ -- with a limit set of maximum 12 Units alive simulteneously  and 150 Groups to be SPAWNed during the whole mission.
+ Spawn_US_Platoon = { 'US Tank Platoon 1', 'US Tank Platoon 2', 'US Tank Platoon 3', 'US Tank Platoon 4', 'US Tank Platoon 5',
+                      'US Tank Platoon 6', 'US Tank Platoon 7', 'US Tank Platoon 8', 'US Tank Platoon 9', 'US Tank Platoon 10',
+                      'US Tank Platoon 11', 'US Tank Platoon 12', 'US Tank Platoon 13' }
+ Spawn_US_Platoon_Left = SPAWN:New( 'US Tank Platoon Left' ):Limit( 12, 150 ):Schedule( 200, 0.4 ):RandomizeTemplate( Spawn_US_Platoon ):RandomizeRoute( 3, 3, 2000 )
+ Spawn_US_Platoon_Middle = SPAWN:New( 'US Tank Platoon Middle' ):Limit( 12, 150 ):Schedule( 200, 0.4 ):RandomizeTemplate( Spawn_US_Platoon ):RandomizeRoute( 3, 3, 2000 )
+ Spawn_US_Platoon_Right = SPAWN:New( 'US Tank Platoon Right' ):Limit( 12, 150 ):Schedule( 200, 0.4 ):RandomizeTemplate( Spawn_US_Platoon ):RandomizeRoute( 3, 3, 2000 )
    +
+ +
+
+ + SPAWN:Repeat () +
+
+ When a Group got SPAWNed, it has a life within the DCSRTE. For planes and helicopters, when these Units go home and land on their home airbases and farps, they normally would taxi to the parking spot, shut-down their engines and wait forever until the Group is removed by the DCSRTE. + This function is used to Re-Spawn automatically (so no extra call is needed anymore) the same Group after it landed. This will enable a SPAWNed group to be Re-SPAWNed after it lands, until it is destroyed... + Note: When the Group is respawned, it will ReSpawn at the original airbase where it took off. So ensure that the paths for Groups that ReSpawn, always return to the orignal airbase. + + + +

Returns:

+
    + + SPAWN + + + +
+ + + +

Usage:

+
    + 
    + -- RU Su-34 - AI Ship Attack
+ -- Re-SPAWN the Group(s) after each landing and Engine Shut-Down automatically.
+ SpawnRU_SU34 = SPAWN:New( 'TF1 RU Su-34 Krymsk@AI - Attack Ships' ):Schedule( 2, 3, 1800, 0.4 ):SpawnUncontrolled():RandomizeRoute( 1, 1, 3000 ):RepeatOnEngineShutDown()
    +
+ +
+
+ + SPAWN:RepeatOnLanding () +
+
+ Same as the @{Repeat) method. + + + +

Returns:

+
    + + SPAWN + + + +
+ + +

See also:

+ + + +
+
+ + SPAWN:RepeatOnEngineShutDown () +
+
+ Same as the @{Repeat) method, but now the Group will respawn after its engines have shut down. + + + +

Returns:

+
    + + SPAWN + + + +
+ + +

See also:

+ + + +
+
+ + SPAWN:Spawn () +
+
+ Will SPAWN a Group whenever you want to do this. + Note that the configuration with the above functions will apply when calling this method: Maxima, Randomization of routes, Scheduler, ... + Uses DATABASE global object defined in MOOSE. + + + +

+
    + + SPAWN + + + +
+ + + + +
+
+ + SPAWN:ReSpawn (SpawnGroupName) +
+
+ Will Re-SPAWN a Group based on a given GroupName.

Parameters:

+
    +
  • SpawnGroupName + string + + + +

+
    + + SPAWN + Uses _Database global object defined in MOOSE. +
+ + + + +
+
+ + SPAWN:SpawnUncontrolled () +
+
+ Will SPAWN a Group whenever you want to do this, but for AIR Groups only to be applied, and will SPAWN the Group in Uncontrolled mode... This will be similar to the Uncontrolled flag setting in the ME. + + + +

Returns:

+
    + + SPAWN + + + +
+ + + + +
+
+ + SPAWN:FromCarrier (CarrierGroup, TargetZonePrefix, NewGroupName, LateActivate) +
+
+ Will SPAWN a Group from a Carrier. This function is mostly advisable to be used if you want to simulate SPAWNing from air units, like helicopters, which are dropping infantry into a defined Landing Zone. + + +

Parameters:

+
    +
  • CarrierGroup + Group + is the Group of the AIR unit or GROUND unit dropping or unloading other units. +
    • +

Module cleanup

+

CLEANUP will keep (a) CleanUp Zone(s) clean.

+

This class can be used to KEEP airbases or farps clean (note the word keep here, it cannot destroy units that are already dead). + The CleanUp class works with 2 validation logic compontents: + * EVENT validation: An event detection to intercept HIT events, upon which a validation of units CLEANUP CONDITIONS are applied. Once a unit is HIT, it is registered in a TIMED validation logic. + * TIMED validation: Units registered in a TIMED validation, are repeatedly validated of certain CLEANUP CONDITIONS. + If the CLEANUP CONDITIONS apply, the unit will be destroyed, and the group will be destroyed. + * It does not clean the zone, it tries to keep it clean by destroying units or groups before they explode or crash into the ground. + * For airplanes or helicopters, when in the CleanUpZone: + ** When the unit is airborne, and it is HIT ( by a weapon or a crash of another unit ), CLEANUP will destroy the unit or group when the health of the unit reaches an AIRBORNE HEALTH LIMIT.

+ +
+When the unit is HIT, it will register the unit for further repeated health monitoring, until:
+
+ +

* the unit's health is beyond the an AIRBORNE HEALTH LIMIT + * until the height of the unit is below the safety zone to prevent it from crashing. + * When the unit is not airborne, and it is HIT, it will be registered + * When the unit is

+ + +

Functions

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
CLEANUP:New (ZoneNames, TimeInterval)Creates the main object which is handling the cleaning of the debris within the given Zone Names.
CLEANUP:_ExecuteDeadEvents (CleanUpUnit)This function is required, and used a non-documented feature.
CLEANUP:_CheckLife (the)Measures the life of a Unit using the LifeLimit treshold.
CLEANUP:_CleanUnit (CleanUpUnit)Cleans a Group from the DCSRTE.
CLEANUP:_EventAddForCleanUp (event)Detects if the Unit has an SEVENTENGINESHUTDOWN or an SEVENT_HIT within the given ZoneNames.
CLEANUP:_Scheduler ()At the defined time interval, CleanUp the Groups within the CleanUpList.
+ +
+
+ + +

Functions

+ +
+
+ + CLEANUP:New (ZoneNames, TimeInterval) +
+
+ Creates the main object which is handling the cleaning of the debris within the given Zone Names. + + +

Parameters:

+
    +
  • ZoneNames + table{string,...} or string + which is a table of zone names where the debris should be cleaned. Also a single string can be passed with one zone name. +
    • +
  • TimeInterval + optional number + is the interval in seconds when the clean activity takes place. The default is 300 seconds, thus every 5 minutes. +
    • +
+ +

Returns:

+
    + + CLEANUP + + + +
+ + + +

Usage:

+
    + 
    + -- Clean these Zones.
+ CleanUpAirports = CLEANUP:New( { 'CLEAN Tbilisi', 'CLEAN Kutaisi' }, 150 )
+ or
+ CleanUpTbilisi = CLEANUP:New( 'CLEAN Tbilisi', 150 )
+ CleanUpKutaisi = CLEANUP:New( 'CLEAN Kutaisi', 600 )
    +
+ +
+
+ + CLEANUP:_ExecuteDeadEvents (CleanUpUnit) +
+
+ This function is required, and used a non-documented feature. The function world.onEvent will loop through all registered event handlers with the event structure given. + This is required to be done because the method Group.destroy(Group) does not generate the SEVENTDEAD through all the registered event handlers. + As such, the other classes using the SEVENTDEAD will get confused if this event is not catched properly... + + +

Parameters:

+
    +
  • CleanUpUnit + + + +
    • +
+ + + + + +
+
+ + CLEANUP:_CheckLife (the) +
+
+ Measures the life of a Unit using the LifeLimit treshold. Returns true if Group has a life lower than the treshold, false if the life is still okay. + + +

Parameters:

+
    +
  • the + Group + Group to be cleaned. +
    • +
+ +

Returns:

+
    + + bool + + + +
+ + + + +
+
+ + CLEANUP:_CleanUnit (CleanUpUnit) +
+
+ Cleans a Group from the DCSRTE. + + +

Parameters:

+
    +
  • CleanUpUnit + + + +
    • +
+ + + + + +
+
+ + CLEANUP:_EventAddForCleanUp (event) +
+
+ Detects if the Unit has an SEVENTENGINESHUTDOWN or an SEVENT_HIT within the given ZoneNames. If this is the case, add the Group to the CLEANUP List. + + +

Parameters:

+
    +
  • event + + + +
    • +
+ + + + + +

MOOSE Framework for Eagle Dynamics DCS World

+ +

+

Context

+

MOOSE is a Mission Object Oriented Scripting Environment, and is meant for mission designers and mission hosters. +It allows (will allow) to quickly setup complex missions using pre-scripted scenarios. +In order to run missions using this framework, you will need to install the framework within your Eagle Dynamics program files folder.

+ +

The goal of MOOSE is to allow mission designers to enhance their scripting with mission orchestration objects, which can be instantiated from defined classes within the framework. +This will allow to write mission scripts with minimal code embedded. Of course, the richness of the framework will determine the richness of the misson scenarios. +We can expect that MOOSE will evolve over time, as more missions will be designed within the framework.

+ +

+

Currently supported functions

+

MOOSE contains currently the following mission design functions. The words in CAPITAL letters document the classes that can be used within MOOSE to accomplish these functions.

+ +
    +
  1. SPAWN Dynamic spawning and respawning of Groups with related functions.
    2. +
  2. MOVEMENT Keeps control over the amount of units driving around the battlefield simultaneously.
    3. +
  3. CLEANUP Clean-Up zones with air units that crashed. Can be used to prevent airports blocking air traffic and ground control operations due to crashed units near the airfield.
    4. +
  4. SEAD Enables the defenses for SAM sites. Mobile SAMs will evade fired anti-radiation missiles by shutting down their radars (for a while). If they are mobile, they will also drive away.
    5. +
  5. MISSION Create Taskforces or Missions within a DCS Mission. A mission will consist of TASKs, and CLIENTs.
    6. +
  6. TASK Add tasks for the mission. There are many different tasks that can be given, by using the classes derived from TASK.
    7. +
  7. DEPLOYTASK Deploy Cargo within a zone.
    8. +
  8. PICKUPTASK Pick-Up Cargo from a zone.
    9. +
  9. GOHOMETASK Fly back home.
    10. +
  10. DESTROYGROUPSTASK Destroy Groups.
    11. +
  11. DESTROYUNITTYPESTASK Destroy Units by measuring their UNIT Type.
    12. +
  12. DESTROYRADARSTASK Destroy Radars of SAM Groups.
    13. +
  13. SLINGLOADHOOKTASK Hook-Up Cargo within a zone and sling-load it outside of the zone.
    14. +
  14. SLINGLOADUNHOOKTASK Sling-load Cargo to a zone and Un-Hook the Cargo within the zone.
    15. +
  15. CLIENT Registers a client within MOOSE.
    16. +
  16. MESSAGE Send messages to CLIENTs.
    17. +
  17. MENU Menu System.
    18. +
+ +

+

Installation

+

The installation of the MOOSE framework is straightforward.

+ +
    +

  1. Extract MOOSE.zip. You can do this quickly by right clicking the MOOSE.zip file, and select "Extract All".

    2. +

  2. The extraction will add a directory within the Scripts directory of the Eagle Dynamics DCS world installation. + Example, the Scripts directory of my DCS World installation folder is C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Scripts

    3. +

  3. Browse within the new MOOSE directory to the DCS_Script directory and run Install.bat as an administrator. + This will make a backup of the missionScripting.lua file and replace this with a new one.

    4. +
+ +

And you're done.

+ +

+

What has changed?

+ +

Not much. The missionscripting.lua file has been enhanced with the following code:

+ +
+ +
+Include = {}
+
+Include.LoadPath = 'Scripts/MOOSE'
+Include.Files = {}
+
+Include.File = function( IncludeFile )
+    if not Include.Files[ IncludeFile ] then
+        Include.Files[IncludeFile] = IncludeFile
+        dofile( Include.LoadPath .. "/" .. IncludeFile .. ".lua" )
+        env.info( "Include:" .. IncludeFile .. " loaded." )
+    end
+end
+
+Include.File( "Database" )
+Include.File( "StatHandler" )
+
+ +
+ +

This code allows for the inclusion of the MOOSE framework, and this now becomes part of your DCS World Simulation Engine. +Missions designed with the MOOSE framework will now run.
