MOOSE/Moose Development/Moose/Database.lua

--- Manage sets of units and groups. 
-- 
-- @{#Database} class
-- ==================
-- Mission designers can use the DATABASE class to build sets of units belonging to certain:
-- 
--  * Coalitions
--  * Categories
--  * Countries
--  * Unit types
--  * Starting with certain prefix strings.
--  
-- This list will grow over time. Planned developments are to include filters and iterators.
-- Additional filters will be added around @{Zone#ZONEs}, Radiuses, Active players, ...
-- More iterators will be implemented in the near future ...
--
-- Administers the Initial Sets of the Mission Templates as defined within the Mission Editor.
-- 
-- DATABASE construction methods:
-- =================================
-- Create a new DATABASE object with the @{#DATABASE.New} method:
-- 
--    * @{#DATABASE.New}: Creates a new DATABASE object.
--   
-- 
-- DATABASE filter criteria: 
-- =========================
-- You can set filter criteria to define the set of units within the database.
-- Filter criteria are defined by:
-- 
--    * @{#DATABASE.FilterCoalitions}: Builds the DATABASE with the units belonging to the coalition(s).
--    * @{#DATABASE.FilterCategories}: Builds the DATABASE with the units belonging to the category(ies).
--    * @{#DATABASE.FilterTypes}: Builds the DATABASE with the units belonging to the unit type(s).
--    * @{#DATABASE.FilterCountries}: Builds the DATABASE with the units belonging to the country(ies).
--    * @{#DATABASE.FilterUnitPrefixes}: Builds the DATABASE with the units starting with the same prefix string(s).
--   
-- Once the filter criteria have been set for the DATABASE, you can start filtering using:
-- 
--   * @{#DATABASE.FilterStart}: Starts the filtering of the units within the database.
-- 
-- Planned filter criteria within development are (so these are not yet available):
-- 
--    * @{#DATABASE.FilterGroupPrefixes}: Builds the DATABASE with the groups of the units starting with the same prefix string(s).
--    * @{#DATABASE.FilterZones}: Builds the DATABASE with the units within a @{Zone#ZONE}.
-- 
-- 
-- DATABASE iterators:
-- ===================
-- Once the filters have been defined and the DATABASE has been built, you can iterate the database with the available iterator methods.
-- The iterator methods will walk the DATABASE set, and call for each element within the set a function that you provide.
-- The following iterator methods are currently available within the DATABASE:
-- 
--   * @{#DATABASE.ForEachAliveUnit}: Calls a function for each alive unit it finds within the DATABASE.
--   
-- Planned iterators methods in development are (so these are not yet available):
-- 
--   * @{#DATABASE.ForEachUnit}: Calls a function for each unit contained within the DATABASE.
--   * @{#DATABASE.ForEachGroup}: Calls a function for each group contained within the DATABASE.
--   * @{#DATABASE.ForEachUnitInZone}: Calls a function for each unit within a certain zone contained within the DATABASE.
