--- **Tasking** - Creates and manages player TASK_ZONE_CAPTURE tasks.
|
||
--
|
||
-- The **TASK_CAPTURE_DISPATCHER** allows you to setup various tasks for let human
|
||
-- players capture zones in a co-operation effort.
|
||
--
|
||
-- The dispatcher will implement for you mechanisms to create capture zone tasks:
|
||
--
|
||
-- * As setup by the mission designer.
|
||
-- * Dynamically capture zone tasks.
|
||
--
|
||
--
|
||
--
|
||
-- **Specific features:**
|
||
--
|
||
-- * Creates a task to capture zones and achieve mission goals.
|
||
-- * Orchestrate the task flow, so go from Planned to Assigned to Success, Failed or Cancelled.
|
||
-- * Co-operation tasking, so a player joins a group of players executing the same task.
|
||
--
|
||
--
|
||
-- **A complete task menu system to allow players to:**
|
||
--
|
||
-- * Join the task, abort the task.
|
||
-- * Mark the location of the zones to capture on the map.
|
||
-- * Provide details of the zones.
|
||
-- * Route to the zones.
|
||
-- * Display the task briefing.
|
||
--
|
||
--
|
||
-- **A complete mission menu system to allow players to:**
|
||
--
|
||
-- * Join a task, abort the task.
|
||
-- * Display task reports.
|
||
-- * Display mission statistics.
|
||
-- * Mark the task locations on the map.
|
||
-- * Provide details of the zones.
|
||
-- * Display the mission briefing.
|
||
-- * Provide status updates as retrieved from the command center.
|
||
-- * Automatically assign a random task as part of a mission.
|
||
-- * Manually assign a specific task as part of a mission.
|
||
--
|
||
--
|
||
-- **A settings system, using the settings menu:**
|
||
--
|
||
-- * Tweak the duration of the display of messages.
|
||
-- * Switch between metric and imperial measurement system.
|
||
-- * Switch between coordinate formats used in messages: BR, BRA, LL DMS, LL DDM, MGRS.
|
||
-- * Various other options.

--- Implements the dynamic dispatching of capture zone tasks.
|
||
--
|
||
-- The **TASK_CAPTURE_DISPATCHER** allows you to setup various tasks for let human
|
||
-- players capture zones in a co-operation effort.
|
||
--
|
||
-- Let's explore **step by step** how to setup the task capture zone dispatcher.
|
||
--
|
||
-- # 1. Setup a mission environment.
|
||
--
|
||
-- It is easy, as it works just like any other task setup, so setup a command center and a mission.
|
||
--
|
||
-- ## 1.1. Create a command center.
|
||
--
|
||
-- First you need to create a command center using the @{Tasking.CommandCenter#COMMANDCENTER.New}() constructor.
|
||
-- The command assumes that you´ve setup a group in the mission editor with the name HQ.
|
||
-- This group will act as the command center object.
|
||
-- It is a good practice to mark this group as invisible and invulnerable.
|
||
--
|
||
-- local CommandCenter = COMMANDCENTER
|
||
-- :New( GROUP:FindByName( "HQ" ), "HQ" ) -- Create the CommandCenter.
|
||
--
|
||
-- ## 1.2. Create a mission.
|
||
--
|
||
-- Tasks work in a **mission**, which groups these tasks to achieve a joint **mission goal**. A command center can **govern multiple missions**.
|
||
--
|
||
-- Create a new mission, using the @{Tasking.Mission#MISSION.New}() constructor.
|
||
--
|
||
-- -- Declare the Mission for the Command Center.
|
||
-- local Mission = MISSION
|
||
-- :New( CommandCenter,
|
||
-- "Overlord",
|
||
-- "High",
|
||
-- "Capture the blue zones.",
|
||
-- coalition.side.RED
|
||
-- )
|
||
--
|
||
--
|
||
-- # 2. Dispatch a **capture zone** task.
|
||
--
|
||
-- So, now that we have a command center and a mission, we now create the capture zone task.
|
||
-- We create the capture zone task using the @{#TASK_CAPTURE_DISPATCHER.AddCaptureZoneTask}() constructor.
|
||
--
|
||
-- ## 2.1. Create the capture zones.
|
||
--
|
||
-- Because a capture zone task will not generate the capture zones, you'll need to create them first.
|
||
--
|
||
--
|
||
-- -- We define here a capture zone; of the type ZONE_CAPTURE_COALITION.
|
||
-- -- The zone to be captured has the name Alpha, and was defined in the mission editor as a trigger zone.
|
||
-- CaptureZone = ZONE:New( "Alpha" )
|
||
-- CaptureZoneCoalitionApha = ZONE_CAPTURE_COALITION:New( CaptureZone, coalition.side.RED )
|
||
--
|
||
-- ## 2.2. Create a set of player groups.
|
||
--
|
||
-- What is also needed, is to have a set of @{Core.Group}s defined that contains the clients of the players.
|
||
--
|
||
-- -- Allocate the player slots, which must be aircraft (airplanes or helicopters), that can be manned by players.
|
||
-- -- We use the method FilterPrefixes to filter those player groups that have client slots, as defined in the mission editor.
|
||
-- -- In this example, we filter the groups where the name starts with "Blue Player", which captures the blue player slots.
|
||
-- local PlayerGroupSet = SET_GROUP:New():FilterPrefixes( "Blue Player" ):FilterStart()
|
||
--
|
||
-- ## 2.3. Setup the capture zone task.
|
||
--
|
||
-- First, we need to create a TASK_CAPTURE_DISPATCHER object.
|
||
--
|
||
-- TaskCaptureZoneDispatcher = TASK_CAPTURE_DISPATCHER:New( Mission, PilotGroupSet )
|
||
--
|
||
-- So, the variable `TaskCaptureZoneDispatcher` will contain the object of class TASK_CAPTURE_DISPATCHER,
|
||
-- which will allow you to dispatch capture zone tasks:
|
||
--
|
||
-- * for mission `Mission`, as was defined in section 1.2.
|
||
-- * for the group set `PilotGroupSet`, as was defined in section 2.2.
|
||
--
|
||
-- Now that we have `TaskDispatcher` object, we can now **create the TaskCaptureZone**, using the @{#TASK_CAPTURE_DISPATCHER.AddCaptureZoneTask}() method!
|
||
--
|
||
-- local TaskCaptureZone = TaskCaptureZoneDispatcher:AddCaptureZoneTask(
|
||
-- "Capture zone Alpha",
|
||
-- CaptureZoneCoalitionAlpha,
|
||
-- "Fly to zone Alpha and eliminate all enemy forces to capture it." )
|
||
--
|
||
-- As a result of this code, the `TaskCaptureZone` (returned) variable will contain an object of @{#TASK_CAPTURE_ZONE}!
|
||
-- We pass to the method the title of the task, and the `CaptureZoneCoalitionAlpha`, which is the zone to be captured, as defined in section 2.1!
|
||
-- This returned `TaskCaptureZone` object can now be used to setup additional task configurations, or to control this specific task with special events.
|
||
--
|
||
-- And you're done! As you can see, it is a small bit of work, but the reward is great.
|
||
-- And, because all this is done using program interfaces, you can easily build a mission to capture zones yourself!
|
||
-- Based on various events happening within your mission, you can use the above methods to create new capture zones,
|
||
-- and setup a new capture zone task and assign it to a group of players, while your mission is running!
