-- * Communicate to coalitions, groups.
-- * Assign tasks.
-- * Manage the menus.
-- * Manage reference zones.

--- The COMMANDCENTER class
-- @type COMMANDCENTER
-- @field Wrapper.Group#GROUP HQ
-- @field DCS#coalition CommandCenterCoalition
-- @list<Tasking.Mission#MISSION> Missions
-- @extends Core.Base#BASE
--- Governs multiple missions, the tasking and the reporting.
--
-- Command centers govern missions, communicates the task assignments between human players of the coalition, and manages the menu flow.
-- It can assign a random task to a player when requested.
-- The commandcenter provides the facilitites to communicate between human players online, executing a task.
--
-- ## 1. Create a command center object.
--
-- * @{#COMMANDCENTER.New}(): Creates a new COMMANDCENTER object.
--
-- ## 2. Command center mission management.
--
-- Command centers manage missions. These can be added, removed and provides means to retrieve missions.
-- These methods are heavily used by the task dispatcher classes.
--
-- * @{#COMMANDCENTER.AddMission}(): Adds a mission to the commandcenter control.
-- * @{#COMMANDCENTER.RemoveMission}(): Removes a mission to the commandcenter control.
-- * @{#COMMANDCENTER.GetMissions}(): Retrieves the missions table controlled by the commandcenter.
--
-- ## 3. Communication management between players.
--
-- Command center provide means of communication between players.
-- Because a command center is a central object governing multiple missions,
-- there are several levels at which communication needs to be done.
-- Within MOOSE, communication is facilitated using the message system within the DCS simulator.
--
-- Messages can be sent between players at various levels:
--
-- - On a global level, to all players.
-- - On a coalition level, only to the players belonging to the same coalition.
-- - On a group level, to the players belonging to the same group.
--
-- Messages can be sent to **all players** by the command center using the method @{Tasking.CommandCenter#COMMANDCENTER.MessageToAll}().
--
-- To send messages to **the coalition of the command center**, there are two methods available:
--
-- - Use the method @{Tasking.CommandCenter#COMMANDCENTER.MessageToCoalition}() to send a specific message to the coalition, with a given message display duration.
-- - You can send a specific type of message using the method @{Tasking.CommandCenter#COMMANDCENTER.MessageTypeToCoalition}().
-- This will send a message of a specific type to the coalition, and as a result its display duration will be flexible according the message display time selection by the human player.
--
-- To send messages **to the group** of human players, there are also two methods available:
--
-- - Use the method @{Tasking.CommandCenter#COMMANDCENTER.MessageToGroup}() to send a specific message to a group, with a given message display duration.
-- - You can send a specific type of message using the method @{Tasking.CommandCenter#COMMANDCENTER.MessageTypeToGroup}().
-- This will send a message of a specific type to the group, and as a result its display duration will be flexible according the message display time selection by the human player .
--
-- Messages are considered to be sometimes disturbing for human players, therefore, the settings menu provides the means to activate or deactivate messages.
-- For more information on the message types and display timings that can be selected and configured using the menu, refer to the @{Core.Settings} menu description.
--
-- ## 4. Command center detailed methods.
--
-- Various methods are added to manage command centers.
--
-- ### 4.1. Naming and description.
--
-- There are 3 methods that can be used to retrieve the description of a command center:
--
-- - Use the method @{Tasking.CommandCenter#COMMANDCENTER.GetName}() to retrieve the name of the command center.
-- This is the name given as part of the @{Tasking.CommandCenter#COMMANDCENTER.New}() constructor.
-- The returned name using this method, is not to be used for message communication.
--
-- A textual description can be retrieved that provides the command center name to be used within message communication:
--
-- - @{Tasking.CommandCenter#COMMANDCENTER.GetShortText}() returns the command center name as `CC [CommandCenterName]`.
-- - @{Tasking.CommandCenter#COMMANDCENTER.GetText}() returns the command center name as `Command Center [CommandCenterName]`.
--
-- ### 4.2. The coalition of the command center.
--
-- The method @{Tasking.CommandCenter#COMMANDCENTER.GetCoalition}() returns the coalition of the command center.
-- The return value is an enumeration of the type @{DCS#coalition.side}, which contains the RED, BLUE and NEUTRAL coalition.
--
-- ### 4.3. The command center is a real object.
--
-- The command center must be represented by a live object within the DCS simulator. As a result, the command center
-- can be a @{Wrapper.Unit}, a @{Wrapper.Group}, an @{Wrapper.Airbase} or a @{Wrapper.Static} object.
--
-- Using the method @{Tasking.CommandCenter#COMMANDCENTER.GetPositionable}() you retrieve the polymorphic positionable object representing
-- the command center, but just be aware that you should be able to use the representable object derivation methods.
--
-- ### 5. Command center reports.
--
-- Because a command center giverns multiple missions, there are several reports available that are generated by command centers.
-- These reports are generated using the following methods:
--
-- - @{Tasking.CommandCenter#COMMANDCENTER.ReportSummary}(): Creates a summary report of all missions governed by the command center.
-- - @{Tasking.CommandCenter#COMMANDCENTER.ReportDetails}(): Creates a detailed report of all missions governed by the command center.
-- - @{Tasking.CommandCenter#COMMANDCENTER.ReportMissionPlayers}(): Creates a report listing the players active at the missions governed by the command center.
--
-- ## 6. Reference Zones.
--
-- Command Centers may be aware of certain Reference Zones within the battleground. These Reference Zones can refer to
-- known areas, recognizable buildings or sites, or any other point of interest.
-- Command Centers will use these Reference Zones to help pilots with defining coordinates in terms of navigation
-- during the WWII era.
-- The Reference Zones are related to the WWII mode that the Command Center will operate in.
-- Use the method @{#COMMANDCENTER.SetModeWWII}() to set the mode of communication to the WWII mode.
--
-- In WWII mode, the Command Center will receive detected targets, and will select for each target the closest
-- nearby Reference Zone. This allows pilots to navigate easier through the battle field readying for combat.
--
-- The Reference Zones need to be set by the Mission Designer in the Mission Editor.
-- Reference Zones are set by normal trigger zones. One can color the zones in a specific color,
-- and the radius of the zones doesn't matter, only the point is important. Place the center of these Reference Zones at
-- specific scenery objects or points of interest (like cities, rivers, hills, crossing etc).
-- The trigger zones indicating a Reference Zone need to follow a specific syntax.
-- The name of each trigger zone expressing a Reference Zone need to start with a classification name of the object,
-- followed by a #, followed by a symbolic name of the Reference Zone.
-- A few examples:
--
-- * A church at Tskinvali would be indicated as: *Church#Tskinvali*
-- * A train station near Kobuleti would be indicated as: *Station#Kobuleti*
--
-- The COMMANDCENTER class contains a method to indicate which trigger zones need to be used as Reference Zones.
-- This is done by using the method @{#COMMANDCENTER.SetReferenceZones}().
-- For the moment, only one Reference Zone class can be specified, but in the future, more classes will become possible.
--
-- ## 7. Tasks.
--
-- ### 7.1. Automatically assign tasks.
--
-- One of the most important roles of the command center is the management of tasks.
-- The command center can assign automatically tasks to the players using the @{Tasking.CommandCenter#COMMANDCENTER.SetAutoAssignTasks}() method.
-- When this method is used with a parameter true; the command center will scan at regular intervals which players in a slot are not having a task assigned.
-- For those players; the tasking is enabled to assign automatically a task.
-- An Assign Menu will be accessible for the player under the command center menu, to configure the automatic tasking to switched on or off.
--
-- ### 7.2. Automatically accept assigned tasks.
--
-- When a task is assigned; the mission designer can decide if players are immediately assigned to the task; or they can accept/reject the assigned task.
-- Use the method @{Tasking.CommandCenter#COMMANDCENTER.SetAutoAcceptTasks}() to configure this behaviour.
-- If the tasks are not automatically accepted; the player will receive a message that he needs to access the command center menu and
-- choose from 2 added menu options either to accept or reject the assigned task within 30 seconds.
-- If the task is not accepted within 30 seconds; the task will be cancelled and a new task will be assigned.
