Module Task_A2G_Dispatcher

Tasking - The TASKA2GDISPATCHER creates and manages player TASK_A2G tasks based on detected targets.

---

1) #TASKA2GDISPATCHER class, extends #DETECTION_MANAGER

The #TASKA2GDISPATCHER class implements the dynamic dispatching of tasks upon groups of detected units determined a Set of FAC (groups). The FAC will detect units, will group them, and will dispatch Tasks to groups. Depending on the type of target detected, different tasks will be dispatched. Find a summary below describing for which situation a task type is created:

• CAS Task: Is created when there are enemy ground units within range of the FAC, while there are friendly units in the FAC perimeter.
• BAI Task: Is created when there are enemy ground units within range of the FAC, while there are NO other friendly units within the FAC perimeter.
• SEAD Task: Is created when there are enemy ground units wihtin range of the FAC, with air search radars.

Other task types will follow...

3.1) TASKA2GDISPATCHER constructor:

The TASKA2GDISPATCHER.New() method creates a new TASKA2GDISPATCHER instance.

TASK_A2G_DISPATCHER:New(The, SetGroup, Detection, Mission)

TASKA2GDISPATCHER constructor.

Parameters

• Tasking.Mission#MISSION The : mission for which the task dispatching is done.

• Set#SET_GROUP SetGroup : The set of groups that can join the tasks within the mission.

• Functional.Detection#DETECTION_BASE Detection : The detection results that are used to dynamically assign new tasks to human players.

• Mission :

Return value

#TASKA2GDISPATCHER: self
