-- 1.2) GROUP task methods
-- -----------------------
-- Several group task methods are available that help you to prepare tasks.
-- These methods return a string consisting of the task description, which can then be given to either a
-- @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.PushTask} or @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.SetTask} method to assign the task to the GROUP.
-- Tasks are specific for the category of the GROUP, more specific, for AIR, GROUND or AIR and GROUND.
-- Each task description where applicable indicates for which group category the task is valid.
-- There are 2 main subdivisions of tasks: Assigned tasks and EnRoute tasks.
--
-- ### 1.2.1) Assigned task methods
--
-- Assigned task methods make the group execute the task where the location of the (possible) targets of the task are known before being detected.
-- This is different from the EnRoute tasks, where the targets of the task need to be detected before the task can be executed.
--
-- Find below a list of the **assigned task** methods:
--
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskAttackGroup}: (AIR) Attack a Group.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskAttackMapObject}: (AIR) Attacking the map object (building, structure, e.t.c).
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskAttackUnit}: (AIR) Attack the Unit.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskBombing}: (Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLEDelivering weapon at the point on the ground.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskBombingRunway}: (AIR) Delivering weapon on the runway.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskEmbarking}: (AIR) Move the group to a Vec2 Point, wait for a defined duration and embark a group.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskEmbarkToTransport}: (GROUND) Embark to a Transport landed at a location.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskEscort}: (AIR) Escort another airborne group.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskFAC_AttackGroup}: (AIR + GROUND) The task makes the group/unit a FAC and orders the FAC to control the target (enemy ground group) destruction.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskFireAtPoint}: (GROUND) Fire at a VEC2 point until ammunition is finished.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskFollow}: (AIR) Following another airborne group.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskHold}: (GROUND) Hold ground group from moving.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskHoldPosition}: (AIR) Hold position at the current position of the first unit of the group.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskLand}: (AIR HELICOPTER) Landing at the ground. For helicopters only.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskLandAtZone}: (AIR) Land the group at a @{Core.Zone#ZONE_RADIUS).
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskOrbitCircle}: (AIR) Orbit at the current position of the first unit of the group at a specified alititude.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskOrbitCircleAtVec2}: (AIR) Orbit at a specified position at a specified alititude during a specified duration with a specified speed.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskRefueling}: (AIR) Refueling from the nearest tanker. No parameters.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskRoute}: (AIR + GROUND) Return a Misson task to follow a given route defined by Points.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskRouteToVec2}: (AIR + GROUND) Make the Group move to a given point.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskRouteToVec3}: (AIR + GROUND) Make the Group move to a given point.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskRouteToZone}: (AIR + GROUND) Route the group to a given zone.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskReturnToBase}: (AIR) Route the group to an airbase.
-- ## 1.2) GROUP task methods
--
-- ### 1.2.2) EnRoute task methods
--
-- EnRoute tasks require the targets of the task need to be detected by the group (using its sensors) before the task can be executed:
--
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.EnRouteTaskAWACS}: (AIR) Aircraft will act as an AWACS for friendly units (will provide them with information about contacts). No parameters.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.EnRouteTaskEngageGroup}: (AIR) Engaging a group. The task does not assign the target group to the unit/group to attack now; it just allows the unit/group to engage the target group as well as other assigned targets.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.EnRouteTaskEngageTargets}: (AIR) Engaging targets of defined types.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.EnRouteTaskEWR}: (AIR) Attack the Unit.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.EnRouteTaskFAC}: (AIR + GROUND) The task makes the group/unit a FAC and lets the FAC to choose a targets (enemy ground group) around as well as other assigned targets.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.EnRouteTaskFAC_EngageGroup}: (AIR + GROUND) The task makes the group/unit a FAC and lets the FAC to choose the target (enemy ground group) as well as other assigned targets.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.EnRouteTaskTanker}: (AIR) Aircraft will act as a tanker for friendly units. No parameters.
--
-- ### 1.2.3) Preparation task methods
--
-- There are certain task methods that allow to tailor the task behaviour:
-- A GROUP is a @{Controllable}. See the @{Controllable} task methods section for a description of the task methods.
--
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskWrappedAction}: Return a WrappedAction Task taking a Command.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskCombo}: Return a Combo Task taking an array of Tasks.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskCondition}: Return a condition section for a controlled task.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskControlled}: Return a Controlled Task taking a Task and a TaskCondition.
--
-- ### 1.2.4) Obtain the mission from group templates
--
-- Group templates contain complete mission descriptions. Sometimes you want to copy a complete mission from a group and assign it to another:
--
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskMission}: (AIR + GROUND) Return a mission task from a mission template.
--
-- 1.3) GROUP Command methods
-- --------------------------
-- Group **command methods** prepare the execution of commands using the @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.SetCommand} method:
-- ## 1.3) GROUP Command methods
--
-- A GROUP is a @{Controllable}. See the @{Controllable} command methods section for a description of the command methods.
--
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.CommandDoScript}: Do Script command.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.CommandSwitchWayPoint}: Perform a switch waypoint command.
-- ## 1.4) GROUP option methods
--
-- A GROUP is a @{Controllable}. See the @{Controllable} option methods section for a description of the option methods.
--
-- 1.4) GROUP Option methods
-- -------------------------
-- Group **Option methods** change the behaviour of the Group while being alive.
-- ## 1.5) GROUP Zone validation methods
--
-- ### 1.4.1) Rule of Engagement:
--
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.OptionROEWeaponFree}
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.OptionROEOpenFire}
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.OptionROEReturnFire}
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.OptionROEEvadeFire}
--
-- To check whether an ROE option is valid for a specific group, use:
--
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.OptionROEWeaponFreePossible}
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.OptionROEOpenFirePossible}
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.OptionROEReturnFirePossible}
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.OptionROEEvadeFirePossible}
--
-- ### 1.4.2) Rule on thread:
--
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.OptionROTNoReaction}
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.OptionROTPassiveDefense}
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.OptionROTEvadeFire}
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.OptionROTVertical}
--
-- To test whether an ROT option is valid for a specific group, use:
--
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.OptionROTNoReactionPossible}
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.OptionROTPassiveDefensePossible}
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.OptionROTEvadeFirePossible}
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.OptionROTVerticalPossible}
--
-- 1.5) GROUP Zone validation methods
-- ----------------------------------
-- The group can be validated whether it is completely, partly or not within a @{Zone}.
-- Use the following Zone validation methods on the group:
--
@ -14969,6 +14881,43 @@ end
--
-- The zone can be of any @{Zone} class derived from @{Core.Zone#ZONE_BASE}. So, these methods are polymorphic to the zones tested on.
--
-- ## 1.6) GROUP AI methods
--
-- A GROUP has AI methods to control the AI activation.
--
-- * @{#GROUP.SetAIOnOff}(): Turns the GROUP AI On or Off.
-- * @{#GROUP.SetAIOn}(): Turns the GROUP AI On.
-- * @{#GROUP.SetAIOff}(): Turns the GROUP AI Off.

-- 1.2) GROUP task methods
-- -----------------------
-- Several group task methods are available that help you to prepare tasks.
-- These methods return a string consisting of the task description, which can then be given to either a
-- @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.PushTask} or @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.SetTask} method to assign the task to the GROUP.
-- Tasks are specific for the category of the GROUP, more specific, for AIR, GROUND or AIR and GROUND.
-- Each task description where applicable indicates for which group category the task is valid.
-- There are 2 main subdivisions of tasks: Assigned tasks and EnRoute tasks.
--
-- ### 1.2.1) Assigned task methods
--
-- Assigned task methods make the group execute the task where the location of the (possible) targets of the task are known before being detected.
-- This is different from the EnRoute tasks, where the targets of the task need to be detected before the task can be executed.
--
-- Find below a list of the **assigned task** methods:
--
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskAttackGroup}: (AIR) Attack a Group.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskAttackMapObject}: (AIR) Attacking the map object (building, structure, e.t.c).
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskAttackUnit}: (AIR) Attack the Unit.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskBombing}: (Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLEDelivering weapon at the point on the ground.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskBombingRunway}: (AIR) Delivering weapon on the runway.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskEmbarking}: (AIR) Move the group to a Vec2 Point, wait for a defined duration and embark a group.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskEmbarkToTransport}: (GROUND) Embark to a Transport landed at a location.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskEscort}: (AIR) Escort another airborne group.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskFAC_AttackGroup}: (AIR + GROUND) The task makes the group/unit a FAC and orders the FAC to control the target (enemy ground group) destruction.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskFireAtPoint}: (GROUND) Fire at a VEC2 point until ammunition is finished.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskFollow}: (AIR) Following another airborne group.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskHold}: (GROUND) Hold ground group from moving.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskHoldPosition}: (AIR) Hold position at the current position of the first unit of the group.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskLand}: (AIR HELICOPTER) Landing at the ground. For helicopters only.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskLandAtZone}: (AIR) Land the group at a @{Core.Zone#ZONE_RADIUS).
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskOrbitCircle}: (AIR) Orbit at the current position of the first unit of the group at a specified alititude.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskOrbitCircleAtVec2}: (AIR) Orbit at a specified position at a specified alititude during a specified duration with a specified speed.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskRefueling}: (AIR) Refueling from the nearest tanker. No parameters.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskRoute}: (AIR + GROUND) Return a Misson task to follow a given route defined by Points.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskRouteToVec2}: (AIR + GROUND) Make the Group move to a given point.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskRouteToVec3}: (AIR + GROUND) Make the Group move to a given point.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskRouteToZone}: (AIR + GROUND) Route the group to a given zone.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskReturnToBase}: (AIR) Route the group to an airbase.
-- ## 1.2) GROUP task methods
--
-- ### 1.2.2) EnRoute task methods
--
-- EnRoute tasks require the targets of the task need to be detected by the group (using its sensors) before the task can be executed:
--
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.EnRouteTaskAWACS}: (AIR) Aircraft will act as an AWACS for friendly units (will provide them with information about contacts). No parameters.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.EnRouteTaskEngageGroup}: (AIR) Engaging a group. The task does not assign the target group to the unit/group to attack now; it just allows the unit/group to engage the target group as well as other assigned targets.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.EnRouteTaskEngageTargets}: (AIR) Engaging targets of defined types.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.EnRouteTaskEWR}: (AIR) Attack the Unit.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.EnRouteTaskFAC}: (AIR + GROUND) The task makes the group/unit a FAC and lets the FAC to choose a targets (enemy ground group) around as well as other assigned targets.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.EnRouteTaskFAC_EngageGroup}: (AIR + GROUND) The task makes the group/unit a FAC and lets the FAC to choose the target (enemy ground group) as well as other assigned targets.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.EnRouteTaskTanker}: (AIR) Aircraft will act as a tanker for friendly units. No parameters.
--
-- ### 1.2.3) Preparation task methods
--
-- There are certain task methods that allow to tailor the task behaviour:
-- A GROUP is a @{Controllable}. See the @{Controllable} task methods section for a description of the task methods.
--
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskWrappedAction}: Return a WrappedAction Task taking a Command.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskCombo}: Return a Combo Task taking an array of Tasks.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskCondition}: Return a condition section for a controlled task.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskControlled}: Return a Controlled Task taking a Task and a TaskCondition.
--
-- ### 1.2.4) Obtain the mission from group templates
--
-- Group templates contain complete mission descriptions. Sometimes you want to copy a complete mission from a group and assign it to another:
--
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.TaskMission}: (AIR + GROUND) Return a mission task from a mission template.
--
-- 1.3) GROUP Command methods
-- --------------------------
-- Group **command methods** prepare the execution of commands using the @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.SetCommand} method:
-- ## 1.3) GROUP Command methods
--
-- A GROUP is a @{Controllable}. See the @{Controllable} command methods section for a description of the command methods.
--
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.CommandDoScript}: Do Script command.
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.CommandSwitchWayPoint}: Perform a switch waypoint command.
-- ## 1.4) GROUP option methods
--
-- A GROUP is a @{Controllable}. See the @{Controllable} option methods section for a description of the option methods.
--
-- 1.4) GROUP Option methods
-- -------------------------
-- Group **Option methods** change the behaviour of the Group while being alive.
-- ## 1.5) GROUP Zone validation methods
--
-- ### 1.4.1) Rule of Engagement:
--
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.OptionROEWeaponFree}
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.OptionROEOpenFire}
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.OptionROEReturnFire}
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.OptionROEEvadeFire}
--
-- To check whether an ROE option is valid for a specific group, use:
--
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.OptionROEWeaponFreePossible}
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.OptionROEOpenFirePossible}
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.OptionROEReturnFirePossible}
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.OptionROEEvadeFirePossible}
--
-- ### 1.4.2) Rule on thread:
--
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.OptionROTNoReaction}
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.OptionROTPassiveDefense}
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.OptionROTEvadeFire}
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.OptionROTVertical}
--
-- To test whether an ROT option is valid for a specific group, use:
--
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.OptionROTNoReactionPossible}
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.OptionROTPassiveDefensePossible}
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.OptionROTEvadeFirePossible}
-- * @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE.OptionROTVerticalPossible}
--
-- 1.5) GROUP Zone validation methods
-- ----------------------------------
-- The group can be validated whether it is completely, partly or not within a @{Zone}.
-- Use the following Zone validation methods on the group:
--
@ -14969,6 +14881,43 @@ end
--
-- The zone can be of any @{Zone} class derived from @{Core.Zone#ZONE_BASE}. So, these methods are polymorphic to the zones tested on.
--
-- ## 1.6) GROUP AI methods
--
-- A GROUP has AI methods to control the AI activation.
--
-- * @{#GROUP.SetAIOnOff}(): Turns the GROUP AI On or Off.

-- Name: SPA-017 - Ground Ops - Set AI inactive while spawning
-- Author: FlightControl
-- Date Created: 24 Jan 2017
--
-- # Situation:
--
-- At Gudauta spawn multiple ground vehicles, in a scheduled fashion.
-- But set the AI inactive when spawning.
--
-- # Test cases:
--
-- 1. Observe that the ground vehicles are spawned at the position declared within the mission editor.
-- 2. The vehicles should spawn according the scheduler parameters.
-- 3. There should not be more than 5 groups spawned.
-- 4. Observe that the AI is inactivated, and thus, the vehicles aren't moving.
-- 5. Observe that the position where the units are spawned, is randomized in the zones perimeters.
-- Tests Gudauta
