+--
+-- # 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 @{#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 :(

+-- # 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`).

 -- # SPAWNSTATIC Constructors
---

 -- Firstly, we need to create a SPAWNSTATIC object that will be used to spawn new statics into the mission. There are three ways to do this.
--- 
+--
 -- ## Use another Static
--- 
+--
 -- A new SPAWNSTATIC object can be created using another static by the @{#SPAWNSTATIC.NewFromStatic}() function. All parameters such as position, heading, country will be initialized
 -- from the static.
--- 
+--
 -- ## From a Template
--- 
+--
 -- A SPAWNSTATIC object can also be created from a template table using the @{#SPAWNSTATIC.NewFromTemplate}(SpawnTemplate, CountryID) function. All parameters are taken from the template.
--- 
+--
 -- ## From a Type
--- 
+--
 -- A very basic method is to create a SPAWNSTATIC object by just giving the type of the static. All parameters must be initialized from the InitXYZ functions described below. Otherwise default values
 -- are used. For example, if no spawn coordinate is given, the static will be created at the origin of the map.
--- 
+--
 -- # Setting Parameters
--- 
+--
 -- Parameters such as the spawn position, heading, country etc. can be set via :Init*XYZ* functions. Note that these functions must be given before the actual spawn command!
--- 
+--
 --   * @{#SPAWNSTATIC.InitCoordinate}(Coordinate) Sets the coordinate where the static is spawned. Statics are always spawnd on the ground.
 --   * @{#SPAWNSTATIC.InitHeading}(Heading) sets the orientation of the static.
 --   * @{#SPAWNSTATIC.InitLivery}(LiveryName) sets the livery of the static. Not all statics support this.

+--- **Functional** - Manage and track client slots easily to add your own client-based menus and modules to.
+-- 
+-- The @{#CLIENTWATCH} class adds a simplified way to create scripts and menus for individual clients. Instead of creating large algorithms and juggling multiple event handlers, you can simply provide one or more prefixes to the class and use the callback functions on spawn, despawn, and any aircraft related events to script to your hearts content.
+-- 
+-- ===
+-- 
+-- ## Features:
+-- 
+--   * Find clients by prefixes or by providing a Wrapper.CLIENT object
+--   * Trigger functions when the client spawns and despawns
+--   * Create multiple client instances without overwriting event handlers between instances
+--   * More reliable aircraft lost events for when DCS thinks the aircraft id dead but a dead event fails to trigger
+--   * Easily manage clients spawned in dynamic slots
+--

+--- CLIENTWATCH class
+-- @type CLIENTWATCH
+-- @field #string ClassName Name of the class.
+-- @field #boolean Debug Write Debug messages to DCS log file and send Debug messages to all players.
+-- @field #string lid String for DCS log file.
+-- @field #number FilterCoalition If not nil, will only activate for aircraft of the given coalition value.
+-- @field #number FilterCategory If not nil, will only activate for aircraft of the given category value.
+-- @extends Core.Fsm#FSM_CONTROLLABLE
+
+--- Manage and track client slots easily to add your own client-based menus and modules to.
+-- 
+-- ## Creating a new instance
+-- 
+-- To start, you must first create a new instance of the client manager and provide it with either a Wrapper.Client#CLIENT object, a string prefix of the unit name, or a table of string prefixes for unit names. These are used to capture the client unit when it spawns and apply your scripted functions to it. Only fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft controlled by players can be used by this class.
+-- **This will not work if the client aircraft is alive!**
+-- 
+-- ### Examples
+--
+--          -- Create an instance with a Wrapper.Client#CLIENT object
+--          local heliClient = CLIENT:FindByName('Rotary1-1')
+--          local clientInstance = CLIENTWATCH:New(heliClient)
+--  
+--          -- Create an instance with part of the unit name in the Mission Editor
+--          local clientInstance = CLIENTWATCH:New("Rotary")
+--  
+--          -- Create an instance using prefixes for a few units as well as a FARP name for any dynamic spawns coming out of it
+--          local clientInstance = CLIENTWATCH:New({"Rescue","UH-1H","FARP ALPHA"})
+--
+-- ## Applying functions and methods to client aircraft when they spawn
+-- 
+-- Once the instance is created, it will watch for birth events. If the unit name of the client aircraft matches the one provided in the instance, the callback method @{#CLIENTWATCH:OnAfterSpawn}() can be used to apply functions and methods to the client object.
+--
+-- In the OnAfterSpawn() callback method are four values. From, Event, To, and ClientObject. From,Event,To are standard FSM strings for the state changes. ClientObject is where the magic happens. This is a special object which you can use to access all the data of the client aircraft. The following entries in ClientObject are available for you to use:
+--
+--   * **ClientObject.Unit**: The Moose @{Wrapper.Unit#UNIT} of the client aircraft
+--   * **ClientObject.Group**: The Moose @{Wrapper.Group#GRUP} of the client aircraft
+--   * **ClientObject.Client**: The Moose @{Wrapper.Client#CLIENT} of the client aircraft
+--   * **ClientObject.PlayerName**: A #string of the player controlling the aircraft
+--   * **ClientObject.UnitName**: A #string of the client aircraft unit.
+--   * **ClientObject.GroupName**: A #string of the client aircraft group.
+-- 
+-- ### Examples
+--
+--          -- Create an instance with a client unit prefix and send them a message when they spawn
+--          local clientInstance = CLIENTWATCH:New("Rotary")
+--          function clientInstance:OnAfterSpawn(From,Event,To,ClientObject,EventData)
+--              MESSAGE:New("Welcome to your aircraft!",10):ToUnit(ClientObject.Unit)
+--          end
+--
+-- ## Using event callbacks
+-- 
+-- In a normal setting, you can only use a callback function for a specific option in one location. If you have multiple scripts that rely on the same callback from the same object, this can get quite messy. With the ClientWatch module, these callbacks are isolated t the instances and therefore open the possibility to use many instances with the same callback doing different things. ClientWatch instances subscribe to all events that are applicable to player controlled aircraft and provides callbacks for each, forwarding the EventData in the callback function.
+--
+-- The following event callbacks can be used inside the OnAfterSpawn() callback:
+--
+--   * **:OnAfterDespawn(From,Event,To)**: Triggers whenever DCS no longer sees the aircraft as 'alive'. No event data is given in this callback as it is derived from other events
+--   * **:OnAfterHit(From,Event,To,EventData)**: Triggers every time the aircraft takes damage or is struck by a weapon/explosion
+--   * **:OnAfterKill(From,Event,To,EventData)**: Triggers after the aircraft kills something with its weapons
+--   * **:OnAfterScore(From,Event,To,EventData)**: Triggers after accumulating score
+--   * **:OnAfterShot(From,Event,To,EventData)**: Triggers after a single-shot weapon is released
+--   * **:OnAfterShootingStart(From,Event,To,EventData)**: Triggers when an automatic weapon begins firing
+--   * **:OnAfterShootingEnd(From,Event,To,EventData)**: Triggers when an automatic weapon stops firing
+--   * **:OnAfterLand(From,Event,To,EventData)**: Triggers when an aircraft transitions from being airborne to on the ground
+--   * **:OnAfterTakeoff(From,Event,To,EventData)**: Triggers when an aircraft transitions from being on the ground to airborne
+--   * **:OnAfterRunwayTakeoff(From,Event,To,EventData)**: Triggers after lifting off from a runway
+--   * **:OnAfterRunwayTouch(From,Event,To,EventData)**: Triggers when an aircraft's gear makes contact with a runway
+--   * **:OnAfterRefueling(From,Event,To,EventData)**: Triggers when an aircraft begins taking on fuel
+--   * **:OnAfterRefuelingStop(From,Event,To,EventData)**: Triggers when an aircraft stops taking on fuel
+--   * **:OnAfterPlayerLeaveUnit(From,Event,To,EventData)**: Triggers when a player leaves an operational aircraft
+--   * **:OnAfterCrash(From,Event,To,EventData)**: Triggers when an aircraft is destroyed (may fail to trigger if the aircraft is only partially destroyed)
+--   * **:OnAfterDead(From,Event,To,EventData)**: Triggers when an aircraft is considered dead (may fail to trigger if the aircraft was partially destroyed first)
+--   * **:OnAfterPilotDead(From,Event,To,EventData)**: Triggers when the pilot is killed (may fail to trigger if the aircraft was partially destroyed first)
+--   * **:OnAfterUnitLost(From,Event,To,EventData)**: Triggers when an aircraft is lost for any reason (may fail to trigger if the aircraft was partially destroyed first)
+--   * **:OnAfterEjection(From,Event,To,EventData)**: Triggers when a pilot ejects from an aircraft
+--   * **:OnAfterHumanFailure(From,Event,To,EventData)**: Triggers when an aircraft or system is damaged from any source or action by the player
+--   * **:OnAfterHumanAircraftRepairStart(From,Event,To,EventData)**: Triggers when an aircraft repair is started
+--   * **:OnAfterHumanAircraftRepairFinish(From,Event,To,EventData)**: Triggers when an aircraft repair is completed
+--   * **:OnAfterEngineStartup(From,Event,To,EventData)**: Triggers when the engine enters what DCS considers to be a started state. Parameters vary by aircraft
+--   * **:OnAfterEngineShutdown(From,Event,To,EventData)**: Triggers when the engine enters what DCS considers to be a stopped state. Parameters vary by aircraft
+--   * **:OnAfterWeaponAdd(From,Event,To,EventData)**: Triggers when an item is added to an aircraft's payload
+--   * **:OnAfterWeaponDrop(From,Event,To,EventData)**: Triggers when an item is jettisoned or dropped from an aircraft (unconfirmed)
+--   * **:OnAfterWeaponRearm(From,Event,To,EventData)**: Triggers when an item with internal supply is restored (unconfirmed)
