-
---- The AI_A2A_CAP class implements the core functions to patrol a @{Core.Zone} by an AI @{Wrapper.Group} or @{Wrapper.Group}
--- and automatically engage any airborne enemies that are within a certain range or within a certain zone.
---
--- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia3.JPG)
---
--- The AI_A2A_CAP is assigned a @{Wrapper.Group} and this must be done before the AI_A2A_CAP process can be started using the **Start** event.
---
--- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia4.JPG)
---
--- The AI will fly towards the random 3D point within the patrol zone, using a random speed within the given altitude and speed limits.
--- Upon arrival at the 3D point, a new random 3D point will be selected within the patrol zone using the given limits.
---
--- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia5.JPG)
---
--- This cycle will continue.
---
--- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia6.JPG)
---
--- During the patrol, the AI will detect enemy targets, which are reported through the **Detected** event.
---
--- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia9.JPG)
---
--- When enemies are detected, the AI will automatically engage the enemy.
---
--- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia10.JPG)
---
--- Until a fuel or damage threshold has been reached by the AI, or when the AI is commanded to RTB.
--- When the fuel threshold has been reached, the airplane will fly towards the nearest friendly airbase and will land.
---
--- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia13.JPG)
---
--- ## 1. AI_A2A_CAP constructor
---
---   * @{#AI_A2A_CAP.New}(): Creates a new AI_A2A_CAP object.

---
--- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia2.JPG)
---
--- ### 2.1 AI_A2A_CAP States
---
---   * **None** ( Group ): The process is not started yet.
---   * **Patrolling** ( Group ): The AI is patrolling the Patrol Zone.
---   * **Engaging** ( Group ): The AI is engaging the bogeys.
---   * **Returning** ( Group ): The AI is returning to Base..
---
--- ### 2.2 AI_A2A_CAP Events
---
---   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Start}**: Start the process.
---   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Route}**: Route the AI to a new random 3D point within the Patrol Zone.
---   * **@{#AI_A2A_CAP.Engage}**: Let the AI engage the bogeys.
---   * **@{#AI_A2A_CAP.Abort}**: Aborts the engagement and return patrolling in the patrol zone.
---   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.RTB}**: Route the AI to the home base.
---   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Detect}**: The AI is detecting targets.
---   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Detected}**: The AI has detected new targets.
---   * **@{#AI_A2A_CAP.Destroy}**: The AI has destroyed a bogey @{Wrapper.Unit}.
---   * **@{#AI_A2A_CAP.Destroyed}**: The AI has destroyed all bogeys @{Wrapper.Unit}s assigned in the CAS task.
---   * **Status** ( Group ): The AI is checking status (fuel and damage). When the thresholds have been reached, the AI will RTB.
---
--- ## 3. Set the Range of Engagement
---
--- ![Range](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia11.JPG)
---
--- An optional range can be set in meters,
--- that will define when the AI will engage with the detected airborne enemy targets.
--- The range can be beyond or smaller than the range of the Patrol Zone.
--- The range is applied at the position of the AI.
--- Use the method @{#AI_A2A_CAP.SetEngageRange}() to define that range.
---
--- ## 4. Set the Zone of Engagement
---
--- ![Zone](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia12.JPG)
---
--- An optional @{Core.Zone} can be set,
--- that will define when the AI will engage with the detected airborne enemy targets.
--- Use the method @{#AI_A2A_CAP.SetEngageZone}() to define that Zone.

---    
--- ## 3. Set or Get the AI controllable
--- 
---   * @{#AI_A2A_PATROL.SetControllable}(): Set the AIControllable.
---   * @{#AI_A2A_PATROL.GetControllable}(): Get the AIControllable.
---
--- ## 4. Set the Speed and Altitude boundaries of the AI controllable
---
---   * @{#AI_A2A_PATROL.SetSpeed}(): Set the patrol speed boundaries of the AI, for the next patrol.
---   * @{#AI_A2A_PATROL.SetAltitude}(): Set altitude boundaries of the AI, for the next patrol.
--- 
--- ## 5. Manage the detection process of the AI controllable
--- 
--- The detection process of the AI controllable can be manipulated.
--- Detection requires an amount of CPU power, which has an impact on your mission performance.
--- Only put detection on when absolutely necessary, and the frequency of the detection can also be set.
--- 
---   * @{#AI_A2A_PATROL.SetDetectionOn}(): Set the detection on. The AI will detect for targets.
---   * @{#AI_A2A_PATROL.SetDetectionOff}(): Set the detection off, the AI will not detect for targets. The existing target list will NOT be erased.
--- 
--- The detection frequency can be set with @{#AI_A2A_PATROL.SetRefreshTimeInterval}( seconds ), where the amount of seconds specify how much seconds will be waited before the next detection.
--- Use the method @{#AI_A2A_PATROL.GetDetectedUnits}() to obtain a list of the @{Wrapper.Unit}s detected by the AI.
--- 
--- The detection can be filtered to potential targets in a specific zone.
--- Use the method @{#AI_A2A_PATROL.SetDetectionZone}() to set the zone where targets need to be detected.
--- Note that when the zone is too far away, or the AI is not heading towards the zone, or the AI is too high, no targets may be detected
--- according the weather conditions.
--- 
--- ## 6. Manage the "out of fuel" in the AI_A2A_PATROL
--- 
--- When the AI is out of fuel, it is required that a new AI is started, before the old AI can return to the home base.
--- Therefore, with a parameter and a calculation of the distance to the home base, the fuel threshold is calculated.
--- When the fuel threshold is reached, the AI will continue for a given time its patrol task in orbit, 
--- while a new AI is targeted to the AI_A2A_PATROL.
--- Once the time is finished, the old AI will return to the base.
--- Use the method @{#AI_A2A_PATROL.ManageFuel}() to have this proces in place.
--- 
--- ## 7. Manage "damage" behaviour of the AI in the AI_A2A_PATROL
--- 
--- When the AI is damaged, it is required that a new Patrol is started. However, damage cannon be foreseen early on. 
--- Therefore, when the damage threshold is reached, the AI will return immediately to the home base (RTB).
--- Use the method @{#AI_A2A_PATROL.ManageDamage}() to have this proces in place.

---- The AI_AIR class implements the core functions to operate an AI @{Wrapper.Group}.
--- 
--- 
--- # 1) AI_AIR constructor
---   
---   * @{#AI_AIR.New}(): Creates a new AI_AIR object.
--- 
--- # 2) AI_AIR is a Finite State Machine.
--- 
--- This section must be read as follows. Each of the rows indicate a state transition, triggered through an event, and with an ending state of the event was executed.
--- The first column is the **From** state, the second column the **Event**, and the third column the **To** state.
--- 
--- So, each of the rows have the following structure.
--- 
---   * **From** => **Event** => **To**
--- 
--- Important to know is that an event can only be executed if the **current state** is the **From** state.
--- This, when an **Event** that is being triggered has a **From** state that is equal to the **Current** state of the state machine, the event will be executed,
--- and the resulting state will be the **To** state.
--- 
--- These are the different possible state transitions of this state machine implementation: 
--- 
---   * Idle => Start => Monitoring
---
--- ## 2.1) AI_AIR States.
--- 
---   * **Idle**: The process is idle.
--- 
--- ## 2.2) AI_AIR Events.
--- 
---   * **Start**: Start the transport process.
---   * **Stop**: Stop the transport process.
---   * **Monitor**: Monitor and take action.

---- **AI** - Models the process of air to ground engagement for airplanes and helicopters.
---
--- This is a class used in the @{AI.AI_A2G_Dispatcher}.
---

--- @type AI_AIR_ENGAGE
--- @extends AI.AI_AIR#AI_AIR
-
-
---- Implements the core functions to intercept intruders. Use the Engage trigger to intercept intruders.
--- 
--- The AI_AIR_ENGAGE is assigned a @{Wrapper.Group} and this must be done before the AI_AIR_ENGAGE process can be started using the **Start** event.
--- 
--- The AI will fly towards the random 3D point within the patrol zone, using a random speed within the given altitude and speed limits.
--- Upon arrival at the 3D point, a new random 3D point will be selected within the patrol zone using the given limits.
--- 
--- This cycle will continue.
--- 
--- During the patrol, the AI will detect enemy targets, which are reported through the **Detected** event.
--- 
--- When enemies are detected, the AI will automatically engage the enemy.
--- 
--- Until a fuel or damage threshold has been reached by the AI, or when the AI is commanded to RTB.
--- When the fuel threshold has been reached, the airplane will fly towards the nearest friendly airbase and will land.
--- 
--- ## 1. AI_AIR_ENGAGE constructor
---   
---   * @{#AI_AIR_ENGAGE.New}(): Creates a new AI_AIR_ENGAGE object.
---
--- ## 2. Set the Zone of Engagement
---
--- An optional @{Core.Zone} can be set,
--- that will define when the AI will engage with the detected airborne enemy targets.
--- Use the method @{AI.AI_CAP#AI_AIR_ENGAGE.SetEngageZone}() to define that Zone.

---- **AI** - Models the process of A2G patrolling and engaging ground targets for airplanes and helicopters.

---
--- @module AI.AI_Air_Patrol
--- @image AI_Air_To_Ground_Patrol.JPG
-
--- @type AI_AIR_PATROL
--- @extends AI.AI_Air#AI_AIR
-
---- The AI_AIR_PATROL class implements the core functions to patrol a @{Core.Zone} by an AI @{Wrapper.Group}
--- and automatically engage any airborne enemies that are within a certain range or within a certain zone.
--- 
--- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia3.JPG)
--- 
--- The AI_AIR_PATROL is assigned a @{Wrapper.Group} and this must be done before the AI_AIR_PATROL process can be started using the **Start** event.
--- 
--- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia4.JPG)
--- 
--- The AI will fly towards the random 3D point within the patrol zone, using a random speed within the given altitude and speed limits.
--- Upon arrival at the 3D point, a new random 3D point will be selected within the patrol zone using the given limits.
--- 
--- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia5.JPG)
--- 
--- This cycle will continue.
--- 
--- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia6.JPG)
--- 
--- During the patrol, the AI will detect enemy targets, which are reported through the **Detected** event.
---
--- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia9.JPG)
--- 
--- When enemies are detected, the AI will automatically engage the enemy.
--- 
--- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia10.JPG)
--- 
--- Until a fuel or damage threshold has been reached by the AI, or when the AI is commanded to RTB.
--- When the fuel threshold has been reached, the airplane will fly towards the nearest friendly airbase and will land.
--- 
--- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia13.JPG)
--- 
--- ## 1. AI_AIR_PATROL constructor
---   
---   * @{#AI_AIR_PATROL.New}(): Creates a new AI_AIR_PATROL object.
--- 
--- ## 2. AI_AIR_PATROL is a FSM
--- 
--- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia2.JPG)
--- 
--- ### 2.1 AI_AIR_PATROL States
--- 
---   * **None** ( Group ): The process is not started yet.
---   * **Patrolling** ( Group ): The AI is patrolling the Patrol Zone.
---   * **Engaging** ( Group ): The AI is engaging the bogeys.
---   * **Returning** ( Group ): The AI is returning to Base..
--- 
--- ### 2.2 AI_AIR_PATROL Events
--- 
---   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Start}**: Start the process.
---   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.PatrolRoute}**: Route the AI to a new random 3D point within the Patrol Zone.
---   * **@{#AI_AIR_PATROL.Engage}**: Let the AI engage the bogeys.
---   * **@{#AI_AIR_PATROL.Abort}**: Aborts the engagement and return patrolling in the patrol zone.
---   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.RTB}**: Route the AI to the home base.
---   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Detect}**: The AI is detecting targets.
---   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Detected}**: The AI has detected new targets.
---   * **@{#AI_AIR_PATROL.Destroy}**: The AI has destroyed a bogey @{Wrapper.Unit}.
---   * **@{#AI_AIR_PATROL.Destroyed}**: The AI has destroyed all bogeys @{Wrapper.Unit}s assigned in the CAS task.
---   * **Status** ( Group ): The AI is checking status (fuel and damage). When the thresholds have been reached, the AI will RTB.
---
--- ## 3. Set the Range of Engagement
--- 
--- ![Range](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia11.JPG)
--- 
--- An optional range can be set in meters, 
--- that will define when the AI will engage with the detected airborne enemy targets.
--- The range can be beyond or smaller than the range of the Patrol Zone.
--- The range is applied at the position of the AI.
--- Use the method @{#AI_AIR_PATROL.SetEngageRange}() to define that range.

--- @extends AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE
-
---- Implements the core functions to provide BattleGround Air Interdiction in an Engage @{Core.Zone} by an AIR @{Wrapper.Controllable} or @{Wrapper.Group}.
--- 
--- The AI_BAI_ZONE runs a process. It holds an AI in a Patrol Zone and when the AI is commanded to engage, it will fly to an Engage Zone.
--- 
--- ![HoldAndEngage](..\Presentations\AI_BAI\Dia3.JPG)
--- 
--- The AI_BAI_ZONE is assigned a @{Wrapper.Group} and this must be done before the AI_BAI_ZONE process can be started through the **Start** event.
---  
--- ![Start Event](..\Presentations\AI_BAI\Dia4.JPG)
--- 
--- Upon started, The AI will **Route** itself towards the random 3D point within a patrol zone, 
--- using a random speed within the given altitude and speed limits.
--- Upon arrival at the 3D point, a new random 3D point will be selected within the patrol zone using the given limits.
--- This cycle will continue until a fuel or damage threshold has been reached by the AI, or when the AI is commanded to RTB.
--- 
--- ![Route Event](..\Presentations\AI_BAI\Dia5.JPG)
--- 
--- When the AI is commanded to provide BattleGround Air Interdiction (through the event **Engage**), the AI will fly towards the Engage Zone.
--- Any target that is detected in the Engage Zone will be reported and will be destroyed by the AI.
--- 
--- ![Engage Event](..\Presentations\AI_BAI\Dia6.JPG)
--- 
--- The AI will detect the targets and will only destroy the targets within the Engage Zone.
--- 
--- ![Engage Event](..\Presentations\AI_BAI\Dia7.JPG)
--- 
--- Every target that is destroyed, is reported< by the AI.
--- 
--- ![Engage Event](..\Presentations\AI_BAI\Dia8.JPG)
--- 
--- Note that the AI does not know when the Engage Zone is cleared, and therefore will keep circling in the zone. 
---
--- ![Engage Event](..\Presentations\AI_BAI\Dia9.JPG)
--- 
--- Until it is notified through the event **Accomplish**, which is to be triggered by an observing party:
--- 
---   * a FAC
---   * a timed event
---   * a menu option selected by a human
---   * a condition
---   * others ...
--- 
--- ![Engage Event](..\Presentations\AI_BAI\Dia10.JPG)
--- 
--- When the AI has accomplished the Bombing, it will fly back to the Patrol Zone.
--- 
--- ![Engage Event](..\Presentations\AI_BAI\Dia11.JPG)
--- 
--- It will keep patrolling there, until it is notified to RTB or move to another BOMB Zone.
--- It can be notified to go RTB through the **RTB** event.
--- 
--- When the fuel threshold has been reached, the airplane will fly towards the nearest friendly airbase and will land.

---
--- # 1. AI_BAI_ZONE constructor
---
---   * @{#AI_BAI_ZONE.New}(): Creates a new AI_BAI_ZONE object.
---
--- ## 2. AI_BAI_ZONE is a FSM
--- 
--- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_BAI\Dia2.JPG)
--- 
--- ### 2.1. AI_BAI_ZONE States
--- 
---   * **None** ( Group ): The process is not started yet.
---   * **Patrolling** ( Group ): The AI is patrolling the Patrol Zone.
---   * **Engaging** ( Group ): The AI is engaging the targets in the Engage Zone, executing BOMB.
---   * **Returning** ( Group ): The AI is returning to Base..
--- 
--- ### 2.2. AI_BAI_ZONE Events
--- 
---   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Start}**: Start the process.
---   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Route}**: Route the AI to a new random 3D point within the Patrol Zone.
---   * **@{#AI_BAI_ZONE.Engage}**: Engage the AI to provide BOMB in the Engage Zone, destroying any target it finds.
---   * **@{#AI_BAI_ZONE.Abort}**: Aborts the engagement and return patrolling in the patrol zone.
---   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.RTB}**: Route the AI to the home base.
---   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Detect}**: The AI is detecting targets.
---   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Detected}**: The AI has detected new targets.
---   * **@{#AI_BAI_ZONE.Destroy}**: The AI has destroyed a target @{Wrapper.Unit}.
---   * **@{#AI_BAI_ZONE.Destroyed}**: The AI has destroyed all target @{Wrapper.Unit}s assigned in the BOMB task.
---   * **Status**: The AI is checking status (fuel and damage). When the thresholds have been reached, the AI will RTB.
--- 
--- ## 3. Modify the Engage Zone behaviour to pinpoint a **map object** or **scenery object**
--- 
--- Use the method @{#AI_BAI_ZONE.SearchOff}() to specify that the EngageZone is not to be searched for potential targets (UNITs), but that the center of the zone
--- is the point where a map object is to be destroyed (like a bridge).
--- 
--- Example:
--- 
---      -- Tell the BAI not to search for potential targets in the BAIEngagementZone, but rather use the center of the BAIEngagementZone as the bombing location.
---      AIBAIZone:SearchOff()
--- 
--- Searching can be switched back on with the method @{#AI_BAI_ZONE.SearchOn}(). Use the method @{#AI_BAI_ZONE.SearchOnOff}() to flexibily switch searching on or off.

---- **AI** - Balance player slots with AI to create an engaging simulation environment, independent of the amount of players. 
--- 
--- **Features:**
--- 
---   * Automatically spawn AI as a replacement of free player slots for a coalition.
---   * Make the AI to perform tasks.
---   * Define a maximum amount of AI to be active at the same time.
---   * Configure the behaviour of AI when a human joins a slot for which an AI is active.

---- Monitors and manages as many replacement AI groups as there are
--- CLIENTS in a SET\_CLIENT collection, which are not occupied by human players. 
--- In other words, use AI_BALANCER to simulate human behaviour by spawning in replacement AI in multi player missions.
--- 
--- The parent class @{Core.Fsm#FSM_SET} manages the functionality to control the Finite State Machine (FSM). 
--- The mission designer can tailor the behaviour of the AI_BALANCER, by defining event and state transition methods.
--- An explanation about state and event transition methods can be found in the @{Core.Fsm} module documentation.
--- 
--- The mission designer can tailor the AI_BALANCER behaviour, by implementing a state or event handling method for the following:
--- 
---   * @{#AI_BALANCER.OnAfterSpawned}( AISet, From, Event, To, AIGroup ): Define to add extra logic when an AI is spawned.
--- 
--- ## 1. AI_BALANCER construction
--- 
--- Create a new AI_BALANCER object with the @{#AI_BALANCER.New}() method:
--- 
--- ## 2. AI_BALANCER is a FSM
--- 
--- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_BALANCER\Dia13.JPG)
--- 
--- ### 2.1. AI_BALANCER States
--- 
---   * **Monitoring** ( Set ): Monitoring the Set if all AI is spawned for the Clients.
---   * **Spawning** ( Set, ClientName ): There is a new AI group spawned with ClientName as the name of reference.
---   * **Spawned** ( Set, AIGroup ): A new AI has been spawned. You can handle this event to customize the AI behaviour with other AI FSMs or own processes.
---   * **Destroying** ( Set, AIGroup ): The AI is being destroyed.
---   * **Returning** ( Set, AIGroup ): The AI is returning to the airbase specified by the ReturnToAirbase methods. Handle this state to customize the return behaviour of the AI, if any.
--- 
--- ### 2.2. AI_BALANCER Events
--- 
---   * **Monitor** ( Set ): Every 10 seconds, the Monitor event is triggered to monitor the Set.
---   * **Spawn** ( Set, ClientName ): Triggers when there is a new AI group to be spawned with ClientName as the name of reference.
---   * **Spawned** ( Set, AIGroup ): Triggers when a new AI has been spawned. You can handle this event to customize the AI behaviour with other AI FSMs or own processes.
---   * **Destroy** ( Set, AIGroup ): The AI is being destroyed.
---   * **Return** ( Set, AIGroup ): The AI is returning to the airbase specified by the ReturnToAirbase methods.
---    
--- ## 3. AI_BALANCER spawn interval for replacement AI
--- 
--- Use the method @{#AI_BALANCER.InitSpawnInterval}() to set the earliest and latest interval in seconds that is waited until a new replacement AI is spawned.
--- 
--- ## 4. AI_BALANCER returns AI to Airbases
--- 
--- By default, When a human player joins a slot that is AI_BALANCED, the AI group will be destroyed by default. 
--- However, there are 2 additional options that you can use to customize the destroy behaviour.
--- When a human player joins a slot, you can configure to let the AI return to:
--- 
---    * @{#AI_BALANCER.ReturnToHomeAirbase}: Returns the AI to the **home** @{Wrapper.Airbase#AIRBASE}.
---    * @{#AI_BALANCER.ReturnToNearestAirbases}: Returns the AI to the **nearest friendly** @{Wrapper.Airbase#AIRBASE}.
--- 
--- Note that when AI returns to an airbase, the AI_BALANCER will trigger the **Return** event and the AI will return, 
--- otherwise the AI_BALANCER will trigger a **Destroy** event, and the AI will be destroyed.
---

---- **AI** - Perform Combat Air Patrolling (CAP) for airplanes.
---
--- **Features:**
--- 
---   * Patrol AI airplanes within a given zone.
---   * Trigger detected events when enemy airplanes are detected.
---   * Manage a fuel threshold to RTB on time.
---   * Engage the enemy when detected.

-
--- @type AI_CAP_ZONE
--- @field Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE AIControllable The @{Wrapper.Controllable} patrolling.
--- @field Core.Zone#ZONE_BASE TargetZone The @{Core.Zone} where the patrol needs to be executed.
--- @extends AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE
-
---- Implements the core functions to patrol a @{Core.Zone} by an AI @{Wrapper.Controllable} or @{Wrapper.Group} 
--- and automatically engage any airborne enemies that are within a certain range or within a certain zone.
--- 
--- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia3.JPG)
--- 
--- The AI_CAP_ZONE is assigned a @{Wrapper.Group} and this must be done before the AI_CAP_ZONE process can be started using the **Start** event.
--- 
--- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia4.JPG)
--- 
--- The AI will fly towards the random 3D point within the patrol zone, using a random speed within the given altitude and speed limits.
--- Upon arrival at the 3D point, a new random 3D point will be selected within the patrol zone using the given limits.
--- 
--- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia5.JPG)
--- 
--- This cycle will continue.
--- 
--- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia6.JPG)
--- 
--- During the patrol, the AI will detect enemy targets, which are reported through the **Detected** event.
---
--- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia9.JPG)
--- 
--- When enemies are detected, the AI will automatically engage the enemy.
--- 
--- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia10.JPG)
--- 
--- Until a fuel or damage threshold has been reached by the AI, or when the AI is commanded to RTB.
--- When the fuel threshold has been reached, the airplane will fly towards the nearest friendly airbase and will land.
--- 
--- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia13.JPG)
--- 
--- ## 1. AI_CAP_ZONE constructor
---   
---   * @{#AI_CAP_ZONE.New}(): Creates a new AI_CAP_ZONE object.
--- 
--- ## 2. AI_CAP_ZONE is a FSM
--- 
--- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia2.JPG)
--- 
--- ### 2.1 AI_CAP_ZONE States
--- 
---   * **None** ( Group ): The process is not started yet.
---   * **Patrolling** ( Group ): The AI is patrolling the Patrol Zone.
---   * **Engaging** ( Group ): The AI is engaging the bogeys.
---   * **Returning** ( Group ): The AI is returning to Base..
--- 
--- ### 2.2 AI_CAP_ZONE Events
--- 
---   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Start}**: Start the process.
---   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Route}**: Route the AI to a new random 3D point within the Patrol Zone.
---   * **@{#AI_CAP_ZONE.Engage}**: Let the AI engage the bogeys.
---   * **@{#AI_CAP_ZONE.Abort}**: Aborts the engagement and return patrolling in the patrol zone.
---   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.RTB}**: Route the AI to the home base.
---   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Detect}**: The AI is detecting targets.
---   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Detected}**: The AI has detected new targets.
---   * **@{#AI_CAP_ZONE.Destroy}**: The AI has destroyed a bogey @{Wrapper.Unit}.
---   * **@{#AI_CAP_ZONE.Destroyed}**: The AI has destroyed all bogeys @{Wrapper.Unit}s assigned in the CAS task.
---   * **Status** ( Group ): The AI is checking status (fuel and damage). When the thresholds have been reached, the AI will RTB.
---
--- ## 3. Set the Range of Engagement
--- 
--- ![Range](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia11.JPG)
--- 
--- An optional range can be set in meters, 
--- that will define when the AI will engage with the detected airborne enemy targets.
--- The range can be beyond or smaller than the range of the Patrol Zone.
--- The range is applied at the position of the AI.
--- Use the method @{#AI_CAP_ZONE.SetEngageRange}() to define that range.
---
--- ## 4. Set the Zone of Engagement
--- 
--- ![Zone](..\Presentations\AI_CAP\Dia12.JPG)
--- 
--- An optional @{Core.Zone} can be set, 
--- that will define when the AI will engage with the detected airborne enemy targets.
--- Use the method @{#AI_CAP_ZONE.SetEngageZone}() to define that Zone.

--- @module AI.AI_CAS
--- @image AI_Close_Air_Support.JPG
-
---- AI_CAS_ZONE class
--- @type AI_CAS_ZONE
--- @field Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE AIControllable The @{Wrapper.Controllable} patrolling.
--- @field Core.Zone#ZONE_BASE TargetZone The @{Core.Zone} where the patrol needs to be executed.
--- @extends AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE
-
---- Implements the core functions to provide Close Air Support in an Engage @{Core.Zone} by an AIR @{Wrapper.Controllable} or @{Wrapper.Group}.
--- The AI_CAS_ZONE runs a process. It holds an AI in a Patrol Zone and when the AI is commanded to engage, it will fly to an Engage Zone.
--- 
--- ![HoldAndEngage](..\Presentations\AI_CAS\Dia3.JPG)
--- 
--- The AI_CAS_ZONE is assigned a @{Wrapper.Group} and this must be done before the AI_CAS_ZONE process can be started through the **Start** event.
---  
--- ![Start Event](..\Presentations\AI_CAS\Dia4.JPG)
--- 
--- Upon started, The AI will **Route** itself towards the random 3D point within a patrol zone, 
--- using a random speed within the given altitude and speed limits.
--- Upon arrival at the 3D point, a new random 3D point will be selected within the patrol zone using the given limits.
--- This cycle will continue until a fuel or damage threshold has been reached by the AI, or when the AI is commanded to RTB.
--- 
--- ![Route Event](..\Presentations\AI_CAS\Dia5.JPG)
--- 
--- When the AI is commanded to provide Close Air Support (through the event **Engage**), the AI will fly towards the Engage Zone.
--- Any target that is detected in the Engage Zone will be reported and will be destroyed by the AI.
--- 
--- ![Engage Event](..\Presentations\AI_CAS\Dia6.JPG)
--- 
--- The AI will detect the targets and will only destroy the targets within the Engage Zone.
--- 
--- ![Engage Event](..\Presentations\AI_CAS\Dia7.JPG)
--- 
--- Every target that is destroyed, is reported< by the AI.
--- 
--- ![Engage Event](..\Presentations\AI_CAS\Dia8.JPG)
--- 
--- Note that the AI does not know when the Engage Zone is cleared, and therefore will keep circling in the zone. 
---
--- ![Engage Event](..\Presentations\AI_CAS\Dia9.JPG)
--- 
--- Until it is notified through the event **Accomplish**, which is to be triggered by an observing party:
--- 
---   * a FAC
---   * a timed event
---   * a menu option selected by a human
---   * a condition
---   * others ...
--- 
--- ![Engage Event](..\Presentations\AI_CAS\Dia10.JPG)
--- 
--- When the AI has accomplished the CAS, it will fly back to the Patrol Zone.
--- 
--- ![Engage Event](..\Presentations\AI_CAS\Dia11.JPG)
--- 
--- It will keep patrolling there, until it is notified to RTB or move to another CAS Zone.
--- It can be notified to go RTB through the **RTB** event.
--- 
--- When the fuel threshold has been reached, the airplane will fly towards the nearest friendly airbase and will land.
--- 
--- ![Engage Event](..\Presentations\AI_CAS\Dia12.JPG)
---
--- ## AI_CAS_ZONE constructor
---
---   * @{#AI_CAS_ZONE.New}(): Creates a new AI_CAS_ZONE object.

--- 
--- ### 2.1. AI_CAS_ZONE States
--- 
---   * **None** ( Group ): The process is not started yet.
---   * **Patrolling** ( Group ): The AI is patrolling the Patrol Zone.
---   * **Engaging** ( Group ): The AI is engaging the targets in the Engage Zone, executing CAS.
---   * **Returning** ( Group ): The AI is returning to Base..
--- 
--- ### 2.2. AI_CAS_ZONE Events
--- 
---   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Start}**: Start the process.
---   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Route}**: Route the AI to a new random 3D point within the Patrol Zone.
---   * **@{#AI_CAS_ZONE.Engage}**: Engage the AI to provide CAS in the Engage Zone, destroying any target it finds.
---   * **@{#AI_CAS_ZONE.Abort}**: Aborts the engagement and return patrolling in the patrol zone.
---   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.RTB}**: Route the AI to the home base.
---   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Detect}**: The AI is detecting targets.
---   * **@{AI.AI_Patrol#AI_PATROL_ZONE.Detected}**: The AI has detected new targets.
---   * **@{#AI_CAS_ZONE.Destroy}**: The AI has destroyed a target @{Wrapper.Unit}.
---   * **@{#AI_CAS_ZONE.Destroyed}**: The AI has destroyed all target @{Wrapper.Unit}s assigned in the CAS task.
---   * **Status**: The AI is checking status (fuel and damage). When the thresholds have been reached, the AI will RTB.

---- Base class for the dynamic cargo handling capability for AI groups.
--- 
--- Carriers can be mobilized to intelligently transport infantry and other cargo within the simulation.
--- The AI_CARGO module uses the @{Cargo.Cargo} capabilities within the MOOSE framework.
--- CARGO derived objects must be declared within the mission to make the AI_CARGO object recognize the cargo.
--- Please consult the @{Cargo.Cargo} module for more information. 
--- 
--- The derived classes from this module are:
--- 
---    * @{AI.AI_Cargo_APC} - Cargo transportation using APCs and other vehicles between zones.
---    * @{AI.AI_Cargo_Helicopter} - Cargo transportation using helicopters between zones.
---    * @{AI.AI_Cargo_Airplane} - Cargo transportation using airplanes to and from airbases.

---- **AI** - Models the intelligent transportation of cargo using ground vehicles.

--- 
--- ### Author: **FlightControl**

---
--- @module AI.AI_Cargo_APC
--- @image AI_Cargo_Dispatching_For_APC.JPG
-
--- @type AI_CARGO_APC
--- @extends AI.AI_Cargo#AI_CARGO
-
-
---- Brings a dynamic cargo handling capability for an AI vehicle group.
--- 
--- Armoured Personnel Carriers (APC), Trucks, Jeeps and other ground based carrier equipment can be mobilized to intelligently transport infantry and other cargo within the simulation.
--- 
--- The AI_CARGO_APC class uses the @{Cargo.Cargo} capabilities within the MOOSE framework.
--- @{Cargo.Cargo} must be declared within the mission to make the AI_CARGO_APC object recognize the cargo.
--- Please consult the @{Cargo.Cargo} module for more information. 
--- 
--- ## Cargo loading.
--- 
--- The module will load automatically cargo when the APCs are within boarding or loading radius.
--- The boarding or loading radius is specified when the cargo is created in the simulation, and therefore, this radius depends on the type of cargo
--- and the specified boarding radius.
--- 
--- ## **Defending** the APCs when enemies nearby.
--- 
--- Cargo will defend the carrier with its available arms, and to avoid cargo being lost within the battlefield.
---  
--- When the APCs are approaching enemy units, something special is happening. 
--- The APCs will stop moving, and the loaded infantry will unboard and follow the APCs and will help to defend the group.
--- The carrier will hold the route once the unboarded infantry is further than 50 meters from the APCs, 
--- to ensure that the APCs are not too far away from the following running infantry.
--- Once all enemies are cleared, the infantry will board again automatically into the APCs. Once boarded, the APCs will follow its pre-defined route.
--- 
--- A combat radius needs to be specified in meters at the @{#AI_CARGO_APC.New}() method. 
--- This combat radius will trigger the unboarding of troops when enemies are within the combat radius around the APCs.
--- During my tests, I've noticed that there is a balance between ensuring that the infantry is within sufficient hit radius (effectiveness) versus
--- vulnerability of the infantry. It all depends on the kind of enemies that are expected to be encountered. 
--- A combat radius of 350 meters to 500 meters has been proven to be the most effective and efficient.
--- 
--- However, when the defense of the carrier, is not required, it must be switched off.
--- This is done by disabling the defense of the carrier using the method @{#AI_CARGO_APC.SetCombatRadius}(), and providing a combat radius of 0 meters.
--- It can be switched on later when required by reenabling the defense using the method and providing a combat radius larger than 0.
--- 
--- ## Infantry or cargo **health**.
--- 
--- When infantry is unboarded from the APCs, the infantry is actually respawned into the battlefield. 
--- As a result, the unboarding infantry is very _healthy_ every time it unboards.
--- This is due to the limitation of the DCS simulator, which is not able to specify the health of new spawned units as a parameter.
--- However, infantry that was destroyed when unboarded and following the APCs, won't be respawned again. Destroyed is destroyed.
--- As a result, there is some additional strength that is gained when an unboarding action happens, but in terms of simulation balance this has
--- marginal impact on the overall battlefield simulation. Fortunately, the firing strength of infantry is limited, and thus, respacing healthy infantry every
--- time is not so much of an issue ... 
--- 
--- ## Control the APCs on the map.
--- 
--- It is possible also as a human ground commander to influence the path of the APCs, by pointing a new path using the DCS user interface on the map.
--- In this case, the APCs will change the direction towards its new indicated route. However, there is a catch!
--- Once the APCs are near the enemy, and infantry is unboarded, the APCs won't be able to hold the route until the infantry could catch up.
--- The APCs will simply drive on and won't stop! This is a limitation in ED that prevents user actions being controlled by the scripting engine.
--- No workaround is possible on this.
--- 
--- ## Cargo deployment.
---  
--- Using the @{#AI_CARGO_APC.Deploy}() method, you are able to direct the APCs towards a point on the battlefield to unboard/unload the cargo at the specific coordinate. 
--- The APCs will follow nearby roads as much as possible, to ensure fast and clean cargo transportation between the objects and villages in the simulation environment.
--- 
--- ## Cargo pickup.
---  
--- Using the @{#AI_CARGO_APC.Pickup}() method, you are able to direct the APCs towards a point on the battlefield to board/load the cargo at the specific coordinate. 
--- The APCs will follow nearby roads as much as possible, to ensure fast and clean cargo transportation between the objects and villages in the simulation environment.

-
-
---- Brings a dynamic cargo handling capability for an AI airplane group.
---  
--- Airplane carrier equipment can be mobilized to intelligently transport infantry and other cargo within the simulation between airbases.
--- 
--- The AI_CARGO_AIRPLANE module uses the @{Cargo.Cargo} capabilities within the MOOSE framework.
--- @{Cargo.Cargo} must be declared within the mission to make AI_CARGO_AIRPLANE recognize the cargo.
--- Please consult the @{Cargo.Cargo} module for more information. 
--- 
--- ## Cargo pickup.
---  
--- Using the @{#AI_CARGO_AIRPLANE.Pickup}() method, you are able to direct the helicopters towards a point on the battlefield to board/load the cargo at the specific coordinate. 
--- Ensure that the landing zone is horizontally flat, and that trees cannot be found in the landing vicinity, or the helicopters won't land or will even crash!
--- 
--- ## Cargo deployment.
---  
--- Using the @{#AI_CARGO_AIRPLANE.Deploy}() method, you are able to direct the helicopters towards a point on the battlefield to unboard/unload the cargo at the specific coordinate. 
--- Ensure that the landing zone is horizontally flat, and that trees cannot be found in the landing vicinity, or the helicopters won't land or will even crash!
--- 
--- ## Infantry health.
--- 
--- When infantry is unboarded from the APCs, the infantry is actually respawned into the battlefield. 
--- As a result, the unboarding infantry is very _healthy_ every time it unboards.
--- This is due to the limitation of the DCS simulator, which is not able to specify the health of new spawned units as a parameter.
--- However, infantry that was destroyed when unboarded, won't be respawned again. Destroyed is destroyed.
--- As a result, there is some additional strength that is gained when an unboarding action happens, but in terms of simulation balance this has
--- marginal impact on the overall battlefield simulation. Fortunately, the firing strength of infantry is limited, and thus, respacing healthy infantry every
--- time is not so much of an issue ...

--- 
---   * Quickly transport cargo to various deploy zones using ground vehicles (APCs, trucks ...).
---   * Various @{Cargo.Cargo#CARGO} types can be transported. These are infantry groups and crates.
---   * Define a list of deploy zones of various types to transport the cargo to.
---   * The vehicles follow the roads to ensure the fastest possible cargo transportation over the ground.
---   * Multiple vehicles can transport multiple cargo as one vehicle group.
---   * Multiple vehicle groups can be enabled as one collaborating transportation process.
---   * Infantry loaded as cargo, will unboard in case enemies are nearby and will help defending the vehicles.
---   * Different ranges can be setup for enemy defenses.
---   * Different options can be setup to tweak the cargo transporation behaviour.

---- A dynamic cargo transportation capability for AI groups.
--- 
--- Armoured Personnel APCs (APC), Trucks, Jeeps and other carrier equipment can be mobilized to intelligently transport infantry and other cargo within the simulation.
--- 
--- The AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_APC module is derived from the AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER module.
--- 
--- ## Note! In order to fully understand the mechanisms of the AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_APC class, it is recommended that you first consult and READ the documentation of the @{AI.AI_Cargo_Dispatcher} module!!!
--- 
--- Especially to learn how to **Tailor the different cargo handling events**, this will be very useful!
--- 
--- On top, the AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_APC class uses the @{Cargo.Cargo} capabilities within the MOOSE framework.
--- Also ensure that you fully understand how to declare and setup Cargo objects within the MOOSE framework before using this class.
--- CARGO derived objects must be declared within the mission to make the AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_HELICOPTER object recognize the cargo.
--- 
--- 
--- # 1) AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_APC constructor.
---   
---   * @{#AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_APC.New}(): Creates a new AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_APC object.
--- 
--- ---
--- 
--- # 2) AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_APC is a Finite State Machine.
--- 
--- This section must be read as follows. Each of the rows indicate a state transition, triggered through an event, and with an ending state of the event was executed.
--- The first column is the **From** state, the second column the **Event**, and the third column the **To** state.
--- 
--- So, each of the rows have the following structure.
--- 
---   * **From** => **Event** => **To**
--- 
--- Important to know is that an event can only be executed if the **current state** is the **From** state.
--- This, when an **Event** that is being triggered has a **From** state that is equal to the **Current** state of the state machine, the event will be executed,
--- and the resulting state will be the **To** state.
--- 
--- These are the different possible state transitions of this state machine implementation: 
--- 
---   * Idle => Start => Monitoring
---   * Monitoring => Monitor => Monitoring
---   * Monitoring => Stop => Idle
---      
---   * Monitoring => Pickup => Monitoring
---   * Monitoring => Load => Monitoring
---   * Monitoring => Loading => Monitoring
---   * Monitoring => Loaded => Monitoring
---   * Monitoring => PickedUp => Monitoring
---   * Monitoring => Deploy => Monitoring
---   * Monitoring => Unload => Monitoring
---   * Monitoring => Unloaded => Monitoring
---   * Monitoring => Deployed => Monitoring
---   * Monitoring => Home => Monitoring
--- 
---      
--- ## 2.1) AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER States.
--- 
---   * **Monitoring**: The process is dispatching.
---   * **Idle**: The process is idle.
--- 
--- ## 2.2) AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER Events.
--- 
---   * **Start**: Start the transport process.
---   * **Stop**: Stop the transport process.
---   * **Monitor**: Monitor and take action.
---   
---   * **Pickup**: Pickup cargo.
---   * **Load**: Load the cargo.
---   * **Loading**: The dispatcher is coordinating the loading of a cargo.
---   * **Loaded**: Flag that the cargo is loaded.
---   * **PickedUp**: The dispatcher has loaded all requested cargo into the CarrierGroup.
---   * **Deploy**: Deploy cargo to a location.
---   * **Unload**: Unload the cargo.
---   * **Unloaded**: Flag that the cargo is unloaded.
---   * **Deployed**: All cargo is unloaded from the carriers in the group.
---   * **Home**: A Carrier is going home.
--- 
--- ## 2.3) Enhance your mission scripts with **Tailored** Event Handling!
--- 
--- Within your mission, you can capture these events when triggered, and tailor the events with your own code!
--- Check out the @{AI.AI_Cargo_Dispatcher#AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER} class at chapter 3 for details on the different event handlers that are available and how to use them.
--- 
--- **There are a lot of templates available that allows you to quickly setup an event handler for a specific event type!**
--- 
--- ---
--- 
--- # 3) Set the pickup parameters.
--- 
--- Several parameters can be set to pickup cargo:
--- 
---    * @{#AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_APC.SetPickupRadius}(): Sets or randomizes the pickup location for the APC around the cargo coordinate in a radius defined an outer and optional inner radius. 
---    * @{#AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_APC.SetPickupSpeed}(): Set the speed or randomizes the speed in km/h to pickup the cargo.
---    
--- # 4) Set the deploy parameters.
--- 
--- Several parameters can be set to deploy cargo:
--- 
---    * @{#AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_APC.SetDeployRadius}(): Sets or randomizes the deploy location for the APC around the cargo coordinate in a radius defined an outer and an optional inner radius. 
---    * @{#AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_APC.SetDeploySpeed}(): Set the speed or randomizes the speed in km/h to deploy the cargo.
--- 
--- # 5) Set the home zone when there isn't any more cargo to pickup.
--- 
--- A home zone can be specified to where the APCs will move when there isn't any cargo left for pickup.
--- Use @{#AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_APC.SetHomeZone}() to specify the home zone.
--- 
--- If no home zone is specified, the APCs will wait near the deploy zone for a new pickup command.

--- Therefore, this class is considered to be deprecated

--- 
--- Helicopters can be mobilized to intelligently transport infantry and other cargo within the simulation.
--- 
--- 
--- The AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_HELICOPTER module is derived from the AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER module.
--- 
--- ## Note! In order to fully understand the mechanisms of the AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_HELICOPTER class, it is recommended that you first consult and READ the documentation of the @{AI.AI_Cargo_Dispatcher} module!!!**
--- 
--- Especially to learn how to **Tailor the different cargo handling events**, this will be very useful!
--- 
--- On top, the AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_HELICOPTER class uses the @{Cargo.Cargo} capabilities within the MOOSE framework.
--- Also ensure that you fully understand how to declare and setup Cargo objects within the MOOSE framework before using this class.
--- CARGO derived objects must be declared within the mission to make the AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_HELICOPTER object recognize the cargo.
--- 
--- ---
--- 
--- # 1. AI\_CARGO\_DISPATCHER\_HELICOPTER constructor.
---   
---   * @{#AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER\_HELICOPTER.New}(): Creates a new AI\_CARGO\_DISPATCHER\_HELICOPTER object.
--- 
--- ---
--- 
--- # 2. AI\_CARGO\_DISPATCHER\_HELICOPTER is a Finite State Machine.
--- 
--- This section must be read as follows. Each of the rows indicate a state transition, triggered through an event, and with an ending state of the event was executed.
--- The first column is the **From** state, the second column the **Event**, and the third column the **To** state.
--- 
--- So, each of the rows have the following structure.
--- 
---   * **From** => **Event** => **To**
--- 
--- Important to know is that an event can only be executed if the **current state** is the **From** state.
--- This, when an **Event** that is being triggered has a **From** state that is equal to the **Current** state of the state machine, the event will be executed,
--- and the resulting state will be the **To** state.
--- 
--- These are the different possible state transitions of this state machine implementation: 
--- 
---   * Idle => Start => Monitoring
---   * Monitoring => Monitor => Monitoring
---   * Monitoring => Stop => Idle
---      
---   * Monitoring => Pickup => Monitoring

---    * @{#AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_HELICOPTER.SetPickupSpeed}(): Set the speed or randomizes the speed in km/h to pickup the cargo.
---    * @{#AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_HELICOPTER.SetPickupHeight}(): Set the height or randomizes the height in meters to pickup the cargo.
--- 
--- ---   
---    
--- ## 4. Set the deploy parameters.
--- 
--- Several parameters can be set to deploy cargo:
--- 
---    * @{#AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_HELICOPTER.SetDeployRadius}(): Sets or randomizes the deploy location for the helicopter around the cargo coordinate in a radius defined an outer and an optional inner radius. 
---    * @{#AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_HELICOPTER.SetDeploySpeed}(): Set the speed or randomizes the speed in km/h to deploy the cargo.
---    * @{#AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_HELICOPTER.SetDeployHeight}(): Set the height or randomizes the height in meters to deploy the cargo.
--- 
--- ---
--- 
--- ## 5. Set the home zone when there isn't any more cargo to pickup.
--- 
--- A home zone can be specified to where the Helicopters will move when there isn't any cargo left for pickup.
--- Use @{#AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_HELICOPTER.SetHomeZone}() to specify the home zone.
--- 
--- If no home zone is specified, the helicopters will wait near the deploy zone for a new pickup command.

---- Brings a dynamic cargo handling capability for an AI helicopter group.
---  
--- Helicopter carriers can be mobilized to intelligently transport infantry and other cargo within the simulation.
--- 
--- The AI_CARGO_HELICOPTER class uses the @{Cargo.Cargo} capabilities within the MOOSE framework.
--- @{Cargo.Cargo} must be declared within the mission to make the AI_CARGO_HELICOPTER object recognize the cargo.
--- Please consult the @{Cargo.Cargo} module for more information. 
--- 
--- ## Cargo pickup.
---  
--- Using the @{#AI_CARGO_HELICOPTER.Pickup}() method, you are able to direct the helicopters towards a point on the battlefield to board/load the cargo at the specific coordinate. 
--- Ensure that the landing zone is horizontally flat, and that trees cannot be found in the landing vicinity, or the helicopters won't land or will even crash!
--- 
--- ## Cargo deployment.
---  
--- Using the @{#AI_CARGO_HELICOPTER.Deploy}() method, you are able to direct the helicopters towards a point on the battlefield to unboard/unload the cargo at the specific coordinate. 
--- Ensure that the landing zone is horizontally flat, and that trees cannot be found in the landing vicinity, or the helicopters won't land or will even crash!
--- 
--- ## Infantry health.
--- 
--- When infantry is unboarded from the helicopters, the infantry is actually respawned into the battlefield. 
--- As a result, the unboarding infantry is very _healthy_ every time it unboards.
--- This is due to the limitation of the DCS simulator, which is not able to specify the health of new spawned units as a parameter.
--- However, infantry that was destroyed when unboarded, won't be respawned again. Destroyed is destroyed.
--- As a result, there is some additional strength that is gained when an unboarding action happens, but in terms of simulation balance this has
--- marginal impact on the overall battlefield simulation. Fortunately, the firing strength of infantry is limited, and thus, respacing healthy infantry every
--- time is not so much of an issue ...

---- **AI** - Models the intelligent transportation of infantry and other cargo.
---
--- ===
---
--- ### Author: **acrojason** (derived from AI_Cargo_APC by FlightControl)
---
--- ===
---
--- @module AI.AI_Cargo_Ship
--- @image AI_Cargo_Dispatcher.JPG
-
--- @type AI_CARGO_SHIP
--- @extends AI.AI_Cargo#AI_CARGO
-
---- Brings a dynamic cargo handling capability for an AI naval group.
---
--- Naval ships can be utilized to transport cargo around the map following naval shipping lanes.
--- The AI_CARGO_SHIP class uses the @{Cargo.Cargo} capabilities within the MOOSE framework. 
--- @{Cargo.Cargo} must be declared within the mission or warehouse to make the AI_CARGO_SHIP recognize the cargo.
--- Please consult the @{Cargo.Cargo} module for more information.
---
--- ## Cargo loading.
--- 
--- The module will automatically load cargo when the Ship is within boarding or loading radius. 
--- The boarding or loading radius is specified when the cargo is created in the simulation and depends on the type of 
--- cargo and the specified boarding radius.
---
--- ## Defending the Ship when enemies are nearby
--- This is not supported for naval cargo because most tanks don't float. Protect your transports...
---
--- ## Infantry or cargo **health**.
--- When cargo is unboarded from the Ship, the cargo is actually respawned into the battlefield.
--- As a result, the unboarding cargo is very _healthy_ every time it unboards.
--- This is due to the limitation of the DCS simulator, which is not able to specify the health of newly spawned units as a parameter.
--- However, cargo that was destroyed when unboarded and following the Ship won't be respawned again (this is likely not a thing for
--- naval cargo due to the lack of support for defending the Ship mentioned above). Destroyed is destroyed.
--- As a result, there is some additional strength that is gained when an unboarding action happens, but in terms of simulation balance
--- this has marginal impact on the overall battlefield simulation. Given the relatively short duration of DCS missions and the somewhat
--- lengthy naval transport times, most units entering the Ship as cargo will be freshly en route to an amphibious landing or transporting 
--- between warehouses.
---
--- ## Control the Ships on the map.
--- 
--- Currently, naval transports can only be controlled via scripts due to their reliance upon predefined Shipping Lanes created in the Mission
--- Editor. An interesting future enhancement could leverage new pathfinding functionality for ships in the Ops module.
---
--- ## Cargo deployment.
---
--- Using the @{#AI_CARGO_SHIP.Deploy}() method, you are able to direct the Ship towards a Deploy zone to unboard/unload the cargo at the
--- specified coordinate. The Ship will follow the Shipping Lane to ensure consistent cargo transportation within the simulation environment.
---
--- ## Cargo pickup.
---
--- Using the @{#AI_CARGO_SHIP.Pickup}() method, you are able to direct the Ship towards a Pickup zone to board/load the cargo at the specified
--- coordinate. The Ship will follow the Shipping Lane to ensure consistent cargo transportation within the simulation environment.
---

---- **AI** - Taking the lead of AI escorting your flight or of other AI, upon request using the menu.
--- 
--- ===
--- 
--- ## Features:
--- 
---   * Escort navigation commands.
---   * Escort hold at position commands.
---   * Escorts reporting detected targets.
---   * Escorts scanning targets in advance.
---   * Escorts attacking specific targets.
---   * Request assistance from other groups for attack.
---   * Manage rule of engagement of escorts.
---   * Manage the allowed evasion techniques of escorts.
---   * Make escort to execute a defined mission or path.
---   * Escort tactical situation reporting.
--- 
--- ===
--- 
--- ## Missions:
--- 
--- [ESC - Escorting](https://github.com/FlightControl-Master/MOOSE_MISSIONS/tree/master/AI/AI_Escort)
--- 
--- ===
--- 
--- Allows you to interact with escorting AI on your flight and take the lead.
--- 
--- Each escorting group can be commanded with a complete set of radio commands (radio menu in your flight, and then F10).
---
--- The radio commands will vary according the category of the group. The richest set of commands are with helicopters and airPlanes.
--- Ships and Ground troops will have a more limited set, but they can provide support through the bombing of targets designated by the other escorts.
--- 
--- Escorts detect targets using a built-in detection mechanism. The detected targets are reported at a specified time interval.
--- Once targets are reported, each escort has these targets as menu options to command the attack of these targets.
--- Targets are by default grouped per area of 5000 meters, but the kind of detection and the grouping range can be altered.
--- 
--- Different formations can be selected in the Flight menu: Trail, Stack, Left Line, Right Line, Left Wing, Right Wing, Central Wing and Boxed formations are available.
--- The Flight menu also allows for a mass attack, where all of the escorts are commanded to attack a target.
--- 
--- Escorts can emit flares to reports their location. They can be commanded to hold at a location, which can be their current or the leader location.
--- In this way, you can spread out the escorts over the battle field before a coordinated attack.
--- 
--- But basically, the escort class provides 4 modes of operation, and depending on the mode, you are either leading the flight, or following the flight.
--- 
--- ## Leading the flight
--- 
--- When leading the flight, you are expected to guide the escorts towards the target areas, 
--- and carefully coordinate the attack based on the threat levels reported, and the available weapons
--- carried by the escorts. Ground ships or ground troops can execute A-assisted attacks, when they have long-range ground precision weapons for attack.
--- 
--- ## Following the flight
--- 
--- Escorts can be commanded to execute a specific mission path. In this mode, the escorts are in the lead.
--- You as a player, are following the escorts, and are commanding them to progress the mission while
--- ensuring that the escorts survive. You are joining the escorts in the battlefield. They will detect and report targets
--- and you will ensure that the attacks are well coordinated, assigning the correct escort type for the detected target
--- type. Once the attack is finished, the escort will resume the mission it was assigned.
--- In other words, you can use the escorts for reconnaissance, and for guiding the attack.
--- Imagine you as a mi-8 pilot, assigned to pickup cargo. Two ka-50s are guiding the way, and you are
--- following. You are in control. The ka-50s detect targets, report them, and you command how the attack
--- will commence and from where. You can control where the escorts are holding position and which targets
--- are attacked first. You are in control how the ka-50s will follow their mission path.
--- 
--- Escorts can act as part of a AI A2G dispatcher offensive. In this way, You was a player are in control.
--- The mission is defined by the A2G dispatcher, and you are responsible to join the flight and ensure that the
--- attack is well coordinated.
--- 
--- It is with great proud that I present you this class, and I hope you will enjoy the functionality and the dynamism
--- it brings in your DCS world simulations.
--- 
--- # RADIO MENUs that can be created:
--- 
--- Find a summary below of the current available commands:
---
--- ## Navigation ...:
--- 
--- Escort group navigation functions:
---
---   * **"Join-Up":** The escort group fill follow you in the assigned formation.
---   * **"Flare":** Provides menu commands to let the escort group shoot a flare in the air in a color.
---   * **"Smoke":** Provides menu commands to let the escort group smoke the air in a color. Note that smoking is only available for ground and naval troops.
---
--- ## Hold position ...:
--- 
--- Escort group navigation functions:
---
---   * **"At current location":** The escort group will hover above the ground at the position they were. The altitude can be specified as a parameter.
---   * **"At my location":** The escort group will hover or orbit at the position where you are. The escort will fly to your location and hold position. The altitude can be specified as a parameter.
---
--- ## Report targets ...:
--- 
--- Report targets will make the escort group to report any target that it identifies within detection range. Any detected target can be attacked using the "Attack Targets" menu function. (see below).
---
---   * **"Report now":** Will report the current detected targets.
---   * **"Report targets on":** Will make the escorts to report the detected targets and will fill the "Attack Targets" menu list.
---   * **"Report targets off":** Will stop detecting targets.
---
--- ## Attack targets ...:
--- 
--- This menu item will list all detected targets within a 15km range. Depending on the level of detection (known/unknown) and visuality, the targets type will also be listed.
--- This menu will be available in Flight menu or in each Escort menu.
---
--- ## Scan targets ...:
--- 
--- Menu items to pop-up the escort group for target scanning. After scanning, the escort group will resume with the mission or rejoin formation.
---
---   * **"Scan targets 30 seconds":** Scan 30 seconds for targets.
---   * **"Scan targets 60 seconds":** Scan 60 seconds for targets.
---
--- ## Request assistance from ...:
--- 
--- This menu item will list all detected targets within a 15km range, similar as with the menu item **Attack Targets**.
--- This menu item allows to request attack support from other ground based escorts supporting the current escort.
--- eg. the function allows a player to request support from the Ship escort to attack a target identified by the Plane escort with its Tomahawk missiles.
--- eg. the function allows a player to request support from other Planes escorting to bomb the unit with illumination missiles or bombs, so that the main plane escort can attack the area.
---
--- ## ROE ...:
--- 
--- Sets the Rules of Engagement (ROE) of the escort group when in flight.
---
---   * **"Hold Fire":** The escort group will hold fire.
---   * **"Return Fire":** The escort group will return fire.
---   * **"Open Fire":** The escort group will open fire on designated targets.
---   * **"Weapon Free":** The escort group will engage with any target.
---
--- ## Evasion ...:
--- 
--- Will define the evasion techniques that the escort group will perform during flight or combat.
---
---   * **"Fight until death":** The escort group will have no reaction to threats.
---   * **"Use flares, chaff and jammers":** The escort group will use passive defense using flares and jammers. No evasive manoeuvres are executed.
---   * **"Evade enemy fire":** The rescort group will evade enemy fire before firing.
---   * **"Go below radar and evade fire":** The escort group will perform evasive vertical manoeuvres.
---
--- ## Resume Mission ...:
--- 
--- Escort groups can have their own mission. This menu item will allow the escort group to resume their Mission from a given waypoint.
--- Note that this is really fantastic, as you now have the dynamic of taking control of the escort groups, and allowing them to resume their path or mission.

---- **AI** - Perform Air Patrolling for airplanes.
--- 
--- **Features:**
--- 
---   * Patrol AI airplanes within a given zone.
---   * Trigger detected events when enemy airplanes are detected.
---   * Manage a fuel threshold to RTB on time.
--- 
--- ===
--- 
--- AI PATROL classes makes AI Controllables execute an Patrol.
--- 
--- There are the following types of PATROL classes defined:
--- 
---   * @{#AI_PATROL_ZONE}: Perform a PATROL in a zone.

--- @extends Core.Fsm#FSM_CONTROLLABLE
-
---- Implements the core functions to patrol a @{Core.Zone} by an AI @{Wrapper.Controllable} or @{Wrapper.Group}.
--- 
--- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_PATROL\Dia3.JPG)
--- 
--- The AI_PATROL_ZONE is assigned a @{Wrapper.Group} and this must be done before the AI_PATROL_ZONE process can be started using the **Start** event.
--- 
--- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_PATROL\Dia4.JPG)
--- 
--- The AI will fly towards the random 3D point within the patrol zone, using a random speed within the given altitude and speed limits.
--- Upon arrival at the 3D point, a new random 3D point will be selected within the patrol zone using the given limits.
--- 
--- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_PATROL\Dia5.JPG)
--- 
--- This cycle will continue.
--- 
--- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_PATROL\Dia6.JPG)
--- 
--- During the patrol, the AI will detect enemy targets, which are reported through the **Detected** event.
---
--- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_PATROL\Dia9.JPG)
--- 
----- Note that the enemy is not engaged! To model enemy engagement, either tailor the **Detected** event, or
--- use derived AI_ classes to model AI offensive or defensive behaviour.
--- 
--- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_PATROL\Dia10.JPG)
--- 
--- Until a fuel or damage threshold has been reached by the AI, or when the AI is commanded to RTB.
--- When the fuel threshold has been reached, the airplane will fly towards the nearest friendly airbase and will land.
--- 
--- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_PATROL\Dia11.JPG)
--- 
--- ## 1. AI_PATROL_ZONE constructor
---   
---   * @{#AI_PATROL_ZONE.New}(): Creates a new AI_PATROL_ZONE object.
--- 
--- ## 2. AI_PATROL_ZONE is a FSM
--- 
--- ![Process](..\Presentations\AI_PATROL\Dia2.JPG)
--- 
--- ### 2.1. AI_PATROL_ZONE States
--- 
---   * **None** ( Group ): The process is not started yet.
---   * **Patrolling** ( Group ): The AI is patrolling the Patrol Zone.
---   * **Returning** ( Group ): The AI is returning to Base.
---   * **Stopped** ( Group ): The process is stopped.
---   * **Crashed** ( Group ): The AI has crashed or is dead.
--- 
--- ### 2.2. AI_PATROL_ZONE Events
--- 
---   * **Start** ( Group ): Start the process.
---   * **Stop** ( Group ): Stop the process.
---   * **Route** ( Group ): Route the AI to a new random 3D point within the Patrol Zone.
---   * **RTB** ( Group ): Route the AI to the home base.
---   * **Detect** ( Group ): The AI is detecting targets.
---   * **Detected** ( Group ): The AI has detected new targets.
---   * **Status** ( Group ): The AI is checking status (fuel and damage). When the thresholds have been reached, the AI will RTB.
---    
--- ## 3. Set or Get the AI controllable
--- 
---   * @{#AI_PATROL_ZONE.SetControllable}(): Set the AIControllable.
---   * @{#AI_PATROL_ZONE.GetControllable}(): Get the AIControllable.
---
--- ## 4. Set the Speed and Altitude boundaries of the AI controllable
---
---   * @{#AI_PATROL_ZONE.SetSpeed}(): Set the patrol speed boundaries of the AI, for the next patrol.
---   * @{#AI_PATROL_ZONE.SetAltitude}(): Set altitude boundaries of the AI, for the next patrol.
--- 
--- ## 5. Manage the detection process of the AI controllable
--- 
--- The detection process of the AI controllable can be manipulated.
--- Detection requires an amount of CPU power, which has an impact on your mission performance.
--- Only put detection on when absolutely necessary, and the frequency of the detection can also be set.
--- 
---   * @{#AI_PATROL_ZONE.SetDetectionOn}(): Set the detection on. The AI will detect for targets.
---   * @{#AI_PATROL_ZONE.SetDetectionOff}(): Set the detection off, the AI will not detect for targets. The existing target list will NOT be erased.
--- 
--- The detection frequency can be set with @{#AI_PATROL_ZONE.SetRefreshTimeInterval}( seconds ), where the amount of seconds specify how much seconds will be waited before the next detection.
--- Use the method @{#AI_PATROL_ZONE.GetDetectedUnits}() to obtain a list of the @{Wrapper.Unit}s detected by the AI.
--- 
--- The detection can be filtered to potential targets in a specific zone.
--- Use the method @{#AI_PATROL_ZONE.SetDetectionZone}() to set the zone where targets need to be detected.
--- Note that when the zone is too far away, or the AI is not heading towards the zone, or the AI is too high, no targets may be detected
--- according the weather conditions.
--- 
--- ## 6. Manage the "out of fuel" in the AI_PATROL_ZONE
--- 
--- When the AI is out of fuel, it is required that a new AI is started, before the old AI can return to the home base.
--- Therefore, with a parameter and a calculation of the distance to the home base, the fuel threshold is calculated.
--- When the fuel threshold is reached, the AI will continue for a given time its patrol task in orbit, 
--- while a new AI is targeted to the AI_PATROL_ZONE.
--- Once the time is finished, the old AI will return to the base.
--- Use the method @{#AI_PATROL_ZONE.ManageFuel}() to have this process in place.
--- 
--- ## 7. Manage "damage" behaviour of the AI in the AI_PATROL_ZONE
--- 
--- When the AI is damaged, it is required that a new AIControllable is started. However, damage cannon be foreseen early on. 
--- Therefore, when the damage threshold is reached, the AI will return immediately to the home base (RTB).
--- Use the method @{#AI_PATROL_ZONE.ManageDamage}() to have this process in place.
---
--- # Developer Note
--- 
--- Note while this class still works, it is no longer supported as the original author stopped active development of MOOSE
--- Therefore, this class is considered to be deprecated

-  --
-  -- ## ACT_ACCOUNT state machine:
-  --
-  -- This class is a state machine: it manages a process that is triggered by events causing state transitions to occur.
-  -- All derived classes from this class will start with the class name, followed by a \_. See the relevant derived class descriptions below.
-  -- Each derived class follows exactly the same process, using the same events and following the same state transitions,
-  -- but will have **different implementation behaviour** upon each event or state transition.
-  --
-  -- ### ACT_ACCOUNT States
-  --
-  --   * **Assigned**: The player is assigned.
-  --   * **Waiting**: Waiting for an event.
-  --   * **Report**: Reporting.
-  --   * **Account**: Account for an event.
-  --   * **Accounted**: All events have been accounted for, end of the process.
-  --   * **Failed**: Failed the process.
-  --
-  -- ### ACT_ACCOUNT Events
-  --
-  --   * **Start**: Start the process.
-  --   * **Wait**: Wait for an event.
-  --   * **Report**: Report the status of the accounting.
-  --   * **Event**: An event happened, process the event.
-  --   * **More**: More targets.
-  --   * **NoMore (*)**: No more targets.
-  --   * **Fail (*)**: The action process has failed.
-  --
-  -- (*) End states of the process.
-  --
-  -- ### ACT_ACCOUNT state transition methods:
-  --
-  -- State transition functions can be set **by the mission designer** customizing or improving the behaviour of the state.
-  -- There are 2 moments when state transition methods will be called by the state machine:
-  --
-  --   * **Before** the state transition.
-  --     The state transition method needs to start with the name **OnBefore + the name of the state**.
-  --     If the state transition method returns false, then the processing of the state transition will not be done!
-  --     If you want to change the behaviour of the AIControllable at this event, return false,
-  --     but then you'll need to specify your own logic using the AIControllable!
-  --
-  --   * **After** the state transition.
-  --     The state transition method needs to start with the name **OnAfter + the name of the state**.
-  --     These state transition methods need to provide a return value, which is specified at the function description.

---- (SP) (MP) (FSM) Accept or reject process for player (task) assignments.
---
--- ===
---
--- # @{#ACT_ASSIGN} FSM template class, extends @{Core.Fsm#FSM_PROCESS}
---
--- ## ACT_ASSIGN state machine:
---
--- This class is a state machine: it manages a process that is triggered by events causing state transitions to occur.
--- All derived classes from this class will start with the class name, followed by a \_. See the relevant derived class descriptions below.
--- Each derived class follows exactly the same process, using the same events and following the same state transitions,
--- but will have **different implementation behaviour** upon each event or state transition.
---
--- ### ACT_ASSIGN **Events**:
---
--- These are the events defined in this class:
---
---   * **Start**:  Start the tasking acceptance process.
---   * **Assign**:  Assign the task.
---   * **Reject**:  Reject the task..
---
--- ### ACT_ASSIGN **Event methods**:
---
--- Event methods are available (dynamically allocated by the state machine), that accomodate for state transitions occurring in the process.
--- There are two types of event methods, which you can use to influence the normal mechanisms in the state machine:
---
---   * **Immediate**: The event method has exactly the name of the event.
---   * **Delayed**: The event method starts with a __ + the name of the event. The first parameter of the event method is a number value, expressing the delay in seconds when the event will be executed.
---
--- ### ACT_ASSIGN **States**:
---
---   * **UnAssigned**: The player has not accepted the task.
---   * **Assigned (*)**: The player has accepted the task.
---   * **Rejected (*)**: The player has not accepted the task.
---   * **Waiting**: The process is awaiting player feedback.
---   * **Failed (*)**: The process has failed.
---
--- (*) End states of the process.
---
--- ### ACT_ASSIGN state transition methods:
---
--- State transition functions can be set **by the mission designer** customizing or improving the behaviour of the state.
--- There are 2 moments when state transition methods will be called by the state machine:
---
---   * **Before** the state transition.
---     The state transition method needs to start with the name **OnBefore + the name of the state**.
---     If the state transition method returns false, then the processing of the state transition will not be done!
---     If you want to change the behaviour of the AIControllable at this event, return false,
---     but then you'll need to specify your own logic using the AIControllable!
---
---   * **After** the state transition.
---     The state transition method needs to start with the name **OnAfter + the name of the state**.
---     These state transition methods need to provide a return value, which is specified at the function description.
---
--- # Developer Note
--- 
--- Note while this class still works, it is no longer supported as the original author stopped active development of MOOSE
--- Therefore, this class is considered to be deprecated
---
--- ===
---
--- # 1) @{#ACT_ASSIGN_ACCEPT} class, extends @{Core.Fsm#ACT_ASSIGN}
---
--- The ACT_ASSIGN_ACCEPT class accepts by default a task for a player. No player intervention is allowed to reject the task.
---
--- ## 1.1) ACT_ASSIGN_ACCEPT constructor:
---
---   * @{#ACT_ASSIGN_ACCEPT.New}(): Creates a new ACT_ASSIGN_ACCEPT object.
---
--- ===
---
--- # 2) @{#ACT_ASSIGN_MENU_ACCEPT} class, extends @{Core.Fsm#ACT_ASSIGN}
---
--- The ACT_ASSIGN_MENU_ACCEPT class accepts a task when the player accepts the task through an added menu option.
--- This assignment type is useful to conditionally allow the player to choose whether or not he would accept the task.
--- The assignment type also allows to reject the task.
---
--- ## 2.1) ACT_ASSIGN_MENU_ACCEPT constructor:
--- -----------------------------------------
---
---   * @{#ACT_ASSIGN_MENU_ACCEPT.New}(): Creates a new ACT_ASSIGN_MENU_ACCEPT object.

---- (SP) (MP) (FSM) Route AI or players through waypoints or to zones.
---
--- ===
---
--- # @{#ACT_ROUTE} FSM class, extends @{Core.Fsm#FSM_PROCESS}
---
--- ## ACT_ROUTE state machine:
---
--- This class is a state machine: it manages a process that is triggered by events causing state transitions to occur.
--- All derived classes from this class will start with the class name, followed by a \_. See the relevant derived class descriptions below.
--- Each derived class follows exactly the same process, using the same events and following the same state transitions,
--- but will have **different implementation behaviour** upon each event or state transition.
---
--- ### ACT_ROUTE **Events**:
---
--- These are the events defined in this class:
---
---   * **Start**:  The process is started. The process will go into the Report state.
---   * **Report**: The process is reporting to the player the route to be followed.
---   * **Route**: The process is routing the controllable.
---   * **Pause**: The process is pausing the route of the controllable.
---   * **Arrive**: The controllable has arrived at a route point.
---   * **More**:  There are more route points that need to be followed. The process will go back into the Report state.
---   * **NoMore**:  There are no more route points that need to be followed. The process will go into the Success state.
---
--- ### ACT_ROUTE **Event methods**:
---
--- Event methods are available (dynamically allocated by the state machine), that accomodate for state transitions occurring in the process.
--- There are two types of event methods, which you can use to influence the normal mechanisms in the state machine:
---
---   * **Immediate**: The event method has exactly the name of the event.
---   * **Delayed**: The event method starts with a __ + the name of the event. The first parameter of the event method is a number value, expressing the delay in seconds when the event will be executed.
---
--- ### ACT_ROUTE **States**:
---
---   * **None**: The controllable did not receive route commands.
---   * **Arrived (*)**: The controllable has arrived at a route point.
---   * **Aborted (*)**: The controllable has aborted the route path.
---   * **Routing**: The controllable is understay to the route point.
---   * **Pausing**: The process is pausing the routing. AI air will go into hover, AI ground will stop moving. Players can fly around.
---   * **Success (*)**: All route points were reached.
---   * **Failed (*)**: The process has failed.
---
--- (*) End states of the process.
---
--- ### ACT_ROUTE state transition methods:
---
--- State transition functions can be set **by the mission designer** customizing or improving the behaviour of the state.
--- There are 2 moments when state transition methods will be called by the state machine:
---
---   * **Before** the state transition.
---     The state transition method needs to start with the name **OnBefore + the name of the state**.
---     If the state transition method returns false, then the processing of the state transition will not be done!
---     If you want to change the behaviour of the AIControllable at this event, return false,
---     but then you'll need to specify your own logic using the AIControllable!
---
---   * **After** the state transition.
---     The state transition method needs to start with the name **OnAfter + the name of the state**.
---     These state transition methods need to provide a return value, which is specified at the function description.
---
--- ===
---
--- # 1) @{#ACT_ROUTE_ZONE} class, extends @{#ACT_ROUTE}
---
--- The ACT_ROUTE_ZONE class implements the core functions to route an AIR @{Wrapper.Controllable} player @{Wrapper.Unit} to a @{Core.Zone}.
--- The player receives on perioding times messages with the coordinates of the route to follow.
--- Upon arrival at the zone, a confirmation of arrival is sent, and the process will be ended.
---
--- # 1.1) ACT_ROUTE_ZONE constructor:
---
---   * @{#ACT_ROUTE_ZONE.New}(): Creates a new ACT_ROUTE_ZONE object.
---
--- # Developer Note
--- 
--- Note while this class still works, it is no longer supported as the original author stopped active development of MOOSE
--- Therefore, this class is considered to be deprecated
