+-- # The ASTAR Concept
+-- 
+-- Pathfinding algorithm.
+-- 
+-- 
+-- # Start and Goal
+-- 
+-- The first thing we need to define is obviously the place where we want to start and where we want to go eventually.
+-- 
+-- ## Start
+-- 
+-- The start
+-- 
+-- ## Goal 
+-- 
+-- 
+-- # Nodes
+-- 
+-- ## Rectangular Grid
+-- 
+-- A rectangular grid can be created using the @{#ASTAR.CreateGrid}(*ValidSurfaceTypes, BoxHY, SpaceX, deltaX, deltaY, MarkGrid*), where
+-- 
+-- * *ValidSurfaceTypes* is a table of valid surface types. By default all surface types are valid.
+-- * *BoxXY* is the width of the grid perpendicular the the line between start and end node. Default is 40,000 meters (40 km).
+-- * *SpaceX* is the additional space behind the start and end nodes. Default is 20,000 meters (20 km).
+-- * *deltaX* is the grid spacing between nodes in the direction of start and end node. Default is 2,000 meters (2 km).
+-- * *deltaY* is the grid spacing perpendicular to the direction of start and end node. Default is the same as *deltaX*.
+-- * *MarkGrid* If set to *true*, this places marker on the F10 map on each grid node. Note that this can stall DCS if too many nodes are created. 
+-- 
+-- ## Valid Surfaces
+-- 
+-- Certain unit types can only travel on certain surfaces types, for example
+-- 
+-- * Naval units can only travel on water (that also excludes shallow water in DCS currently),
+-- * Ground units can only traval on land.
+-- 
+-- By restricting the surface type in the grid construction, we also reduce the number of nodes, which makes the algorithm more efficient.
+-- 
+-- ## Box Width (BoxHY)
+-- 
+-- The box width needs to be large enough to capture all paths you want to consider.
+-- 
+-- ## Space in X
+-- 
+-- The space in X value is important if the algorithm needs to to backwards from the start node or needs to extend even further than the end node.
+-- 
+-- ## Grid Spacing
+-- 
+-- The grid spacing is an important factor as it determines the number of nodes and hence the performance of the algorithm. It should be as large as possible.
+-- However, if the value is too large, the algorithm might fail to get a valid path.
+-- 
+-- A good estimate of the grid spacing is to set it to be smaller (~ half the size) of the smallest gap you need to path.
+-- 
+-- # Valid Neighbours
+-- 
+-- The A* algorithm needs to know if a transition from one node to another is allowed or not. By default, hopping from one node to another is always possible.
+-- 
+-- ## Line of Sight
+-- 
+-- For naval
+--  
+-- 
+-- # Heuristic Cost
+-- 
+-- In order to determine the optimal path, the pathfinding algorithm needs to know, how costly it is to go from one node to another.
+-- Often, this can simply be determined by the distance between two nodes. Therefore, the default cost function is set to be the 2D distance between two nodes.
+-- 
+-- 
+-- # Calculate the Path
+-- 
+-- Finally, we have to calculate the path. This is done by the @{ASTAR.GetPath}(*ExcludeStart, ExcludeEnd*) function. This function returns a table of nodes, which
+-- describe the optimal path from the start node to the end node.
+-- 
+-- By default, the start and end node are include in the table that is returned.
+-- 
+-- Note that a valid path must not always exist. So you should check if the function returns *nil*.
+-- 
+-- Common reasons that a path cannot be found are:
+-- 
+-- * The grid is too small ==> increase grid size, e.g. *BoxHY* and/or *SpaceX* if you use a rectangular grid.  
+-- * The grid spacing is too large ==> decrease *deltaX* and/or *deltaY*
+-- * There simply is no valid path ==> you are screwed :(

+--    * For complex, non-static menu structures
+--    * Lightweigt implementation as alternative to MENU
+--    * Separation of menu tree creation from menu on the clients's side
+--    * Works with a SET_CLIENT set of clients
+--    * Allow manipulation of the shadow tree in various ways
+--    * Push to all or only one client
+--    * Change entries' menu text
+--    * Option to make an entry usable once only across all clients
+--    * Auto appends GROUP and CLIENT objects to menu calls

+--
+-- ## CLIENTMENU and CLIENTMENUMANAGER
+-- 
+-- Manage menu structures for a SET_CLIENT of clients.
+-- 
+-- ## Concept
+-- 
+-- Separate creation of a menu tree structure from pushing it to each client. Create a shadow "reference" menu structure tree for your client pilot's in a mission. 
+-- This can then be propagated to all clients. Manipulate the entries in the structure with removing, clearing or changing single entries, create replacement sub-structures 
+-- for entries etc, push to one or all clients.
+-- 
+-- Many functions can either change the tree for one client or for all clients.
+-- 
+-- ## Create a base reference tree and send to all clients
+-- 
+--            local clientset = SET_CLIENT:New():FilterStart()
+--            
+--            local menumgr = CLIENTMENUMANAGER:New(clientset,"Dayshift")

+--            local mymenu_lv1a = menumgr:NewEntry("Level 1 a",mymenu)
+--            local mymenu_lv1b = menumgr:NewEntry("Level 1 b",mymenu)
+--            -- next one is a command menu entry, which can only be used once
+--            local mymenu_lv1c = menumgr:NewEntry("Action Level 1 c",mymenu, testfunction, "testtext"):SetOnce()
+--

+--            
+--            menumgr:Propagate()
+--            
+-- ## Remove a single entry's subtree
+-- 
+--            menumgr:RemoveSubEntries(mymenu_lv3a)
+--            
+ -- ## Remove a single entry and also it's subtree
+-- 
+--            menumgr:DeleteEntry(mymenu_lv3a)
+-- 
+-- ## Add a single entry
+-- 
+--            local baimenu = menumgr:NewEntry("BAI",mymenu_lv1b)
+--

+-- ## Add an entry with a function 
+-- 
+--            local baimenu = menumgr:NewEntry("Task Action", mymenu_lv1b, TestFunction, Argument1, Argument1)
+--            
+--  Now, the class will **automatically append the call with GROUP and CLIENT objects**, as this is can only be done when pushing the entry to the clients. So, the actual function implementation needs to look like this:
+--  
+--            function TestFunction( Argument1, Argument2, Group, Client)
+--            
+--  **Caveat is**, that you need to ensure your arguments are not **nil** or **false**, as LUA will optimize those away. You would end up having Group and Client in wrong places in the function call. Hence,
+--  if you need/ want to send **nil** or **false**, send a place holder instead and ensure your function can handle this, e.g.
+--  
+--            local baimenu = menumgr:NewEntry("Task Action", mymenu_lv1b, TestFunction, "nil", Argument1)
+--

+-- # The PATHLINE Concept
+-- 
+-- List of points defining a path from A to B. The pathline can consist of multiple points. Each point holds the information of its position, the surface type, the land height
+-- and the water depth (if over sea).
+-- 
+-- Line drawings created in the mission editor are automatically registered as pathlines and stored in the MOOSE database.
+-- They can be accessed with the @{#PATHLINE.FindByName) function.
+-- 
+-- # Constructor
+-- 
+-- The @{PATHLINE.New) function creates a new PATHLINE object. This does not hold any points. Points can be added with the @{#PATHLINE.AddPointFromVec2} and @{#PATHLINE.AddPointFromVec3}
+-- 
+-- For a given table of 2D or 3D positions, a new PATHLINE object can be created with the @{#PATHLINE.NewFromVec2Array} or @{#PATHLINE.NewFromVec3Array}, respectively.
+-- 
+-- # Line Drawings
+-- 
+-- The most convenient way to create a pathline is the draw panel feature in the DCS mission editor. You can select "Line" and then "Segments", "Segment" or "Free" to draw your lines.
+-- These line drawings are then automatically added to the MOOSE database as PATHLINE objects and can be retrieved with the @{#PATHLINE.FindByName) function, where the name is the one
+-- you specify in the draw panel.
+-- 
+-- # Mark on F10 map
+-- 
+-- The ponints of the PATHLINE can be marked on the F10 map with the @{#PATHLINE.MarkPoints}(`true`) function. The mark points contain information of the surface type, land height and 
+-- water depth.
+-- 
+-- To remove the marks, use @{#PATHLINE.MarkPoints}(`false`).

 --- Creates and handles schedules over time, which allow to execute code at specific time intervals with randomization.
--- 
+--
 -- A SCHEDULER can manage **multiple** (repeating) schedules. Each planned or executing schedule has a unique **ScheduleID**.
 -- The ScheduleID is returned when the method @{#SCHEDULER.Schedule}() is called.
 -- It is recommended to store the ScheduleID in a variable, as it is used in the methods @{SCHEDULER.Start}() and @{SCHEDULER.Stop}(),
 -- which can start and stop specific repeating schedules respectively within a SCHEDULER object.
 --
 -- ## SCHEDULER constructor
--- 
+--
 -- The SCHEDULER class is quite easy to use, but note that the New constructor has variable parameters:
--- 
+--
 -- The @{#SCHEDULER.New}() method returns 2 variables:
---   
+--
 --  1. The SCHEDULER object reference.
 --  2. The first schedule planned in the SCHEDULER object.
--- 
+--
 -- To clarify the different appliances, lets have a look at the following examples: 
---

 -- ### Construct a SCHEDULER object without a persistent schedule.

---

 -- The above example creates a new MasterObject, but does not schedule anything.
 -- A separate schedule is created by using the MasterObject using the method :Schedule..., which returns a ScheduleID

 -- ### Construct a SCHEDULER object without a volatile schedule, but volatile to the Object existence...

+--- *Amateurs talk about tactics, but professionals study logistics.* - General Robert H Barrow, USMC
+--
+-- Simple Class to re-arm your artillery with trucks.
+--
+-- #AMMOTRUCK
+-- 
+-- * Controls a SET\_GROUP of trucks which will re-arm a SET\_GROUP of artillery groups when they run out of ammunition. 
+-- 
+-- ## 1 The AMMOTRUCK concept
+-- 
+-- A SET\_GROUP of trucks which will re-arm a SET\_GROUP of artillery groups when they run out of ammunition. They will be based on a
+-- homebase and drive from there to the artillery groups and then back home.
+-- Trucks are the **only known in-game mechanic** to re-arm artillery and other units in DCS. Working units are e.g.: M-939 (blue), Ural-375 and ZIL-135 (both red).
+-- 
+-- ## 2 Set-up
+--
+-- Define a set of trucks and a set of artillery:  
+-- 
+--            local truckset = SET_GROUP:New():FilterCoalitions("blue"):FilterActive(true):FilterCategoryGround():FilterPrefixes("Ammo Truck"):FilterStart()
+--            local ariset = SET_GROUP:New():FilterCoalitions("blue"):FilterActive(true):FilterCategoryGround():FilterPrefixes("Artillery"):FilterStart()
+--
+-- Create an AMMOTRUCK object to take care of the artillery using the trucks, with a homezone:  
+-- 
+--            local ammotruck = AMMOTRUCK:New(truckset,ariset,coalition.side.BLUE,"Logistics",ZONE:FindByName("HomeZone") 
+--            
+-- ## 2 Options and their default values
+-- 
+--            ammotruck.ammothreshold = 5 -- send a truck when down to this many rounds
+--            ammotruck.remunidist = 20000 -- 20km - send trucks max this far from home
+--            ammotruck.unloadtime = 600 -- 10 minutes - min time to unload ammunition
+--            ammotruck.waitingtime = 1800 -- 30 mintes - wait max this long until remunition is done
+--            ammotruck.monitor = -60 -- 1 minute - AMMOTRUCK checks run every one minute
+--            ammotruck.routeonroad = true -- Trucks will **try** to drive on roads
+--            ammotruck.usearmygroup = false -- If true, will make use of ARMYGROUP in the background (if used in DEV branch)
+--        ammotruck.reloads = 5 -- Maxn re-arms a truck can do before he needs to go home and restock. Set to -1 for unlimited
+-- 
+-- ## 3 FSM Events to shape mission

 -- This class is very easy to use. Just setup a SEAD object by using @{#SEAD.New}() and SAMs will evade and take defensive action when being fired upon.
+-- Once a HARM attack is detected, SEAD will shut down the radars of the attacked SAM site and take evasive action by moving the SAM
+-- vehicles around (*if* they are drivable, that is). There's a component of randomness in detection and evasion, which is based on the
+-- skill set of the SAM set (the higher the skill, the more likely). When a missile is fired from far away, the SAM will stay active for a 
+-- period of time to stay defensive, before it takes evasive actions.
