--- This module contains the UNIT class.
--
-- 1) @{#UNIT} class, extends @{Wrapper.Controllable#CONTROLLABLE}
-- ===========================================================
-- The @{#UNIT} class is a wrapper class to handle the DCS Unit objects:
--
-- * Support all DCS Unit APIs.
-- * Enhance with Unit specific APIs not in the DCS Unit API set.
-- * Handle local Unit Controller.
-- * Manage the "state" of the DCS Unit.
--
--
-- 1.1) UNIT reference methods
-- ----------------------
-- For each DCS Unit object alive within a running mission, a UNIT wrapper object (instance) will be created within the _@{DATABASE} object.
-- This is done at the beginning of the mission (when the mission starts), and dynamically when new DCS Unit objects are spawned (using the @{SPAWN} class).
--
-- The UNIT class **does not contain a :New()** method, rather it provides **:Find()** methods to retrieve the object reference
-- using the DCS Unit or the DCS UnitName.
--
-- Another thing to know is that UNIT objects do not "contain" the DCS Unit object.
-- The UNIT methods will reference the DCS Unit object by name when it is needed during API execution.
-- If the DCS Unit object does not exist or is nil, the UNIT methods will return nil and log an exception in the DCS.log file.
--
-- The UNIT class provides the following functions to retrieve quickly the relevant UNIT instance:
--
-- * @{#UNIT.Find}(): Find a UNIT instance from the _DATABASE object using a DCS Unit object.
-- * @{#UNIT.FindByName}(): Find a UNIT instance from the _DATABASE object using a DCS Unit name.
--
-- IMPORTANT: ONE SHOULD NEVER SANATIZE these UNIT OBJECT REFERENCES! (make the UNIT object references nil).
--
-- 1.2) DCS UNIT APIs
-- ------------------
-- The DCS Unit APIs are used extensively within MOOSE. The UNIT class has for each DCS Unit API a corresponding method.
-- To be able to distinguish easily in your code the difference between a UNIT API call and a DCS Unit API call,
-- the first letter of the method is also capitalized. So, by example, the DCS Unit method @{Dcs.DCSWrapper.Unit#Unit.getName}()
-- is implemented in the UNIT class as @{#UNIT.GetName}().
--
-- 1.3) Smoke, Flare Units
-- -----------------------
-- The UNIT class provides methods to smoke or flare units easily.
-- The @{#UNIT.SmokeBlue}(), @{#UNIT.SmokeGreen}(),@{#UNIT.SmokeOrange}(), @{#UNIT.SmokeRed}(), @{#UNIT.SmokeRed}() methods
-- will smoke the unit in the corresponding color. Note that smoking a unit is done at the current position of the DCS Unit.
-- When the DCS Unit moves for whatever reason, the smoking will still continue!
-- The @{#UNIT.FlareGreen}(), @{#UNIT.FlareRed}(), @{#UNIT.FlareWhite}(), @{#UNIT.FlareYellow}()
-- methods will fire off a flare in the air with the corresponding color. Note that a flare is a one-off shot and its effect is of very short duration.
--
-- 1.4) Location Position, Point
-- -----------------------------
-- The UNIT class provides methods to obtain the current point or position of the DCS Unit.
-- The @{#UNIT.GetPointVec2}(), @{#UNIT.GetVec3}() will obtain the current **location** of the DCS Unit in a Vec2 (2D) or a **point** in a Vec3 (3D) vector respectively.
-- If you want to obtain the complete **3D position** including ori<72>ntation and direction vectors, consult the @{#UNIT.GetPositionVec3}() method respectively.
--
-- 1.5) Test if alive
-- ------------------
-- The @{#UNIT.IsAlive}(), @{#UNIT.IsActive}() methods determines if the DCS Unit is alive, meaning, it is existing and active.
--
-- 1.6) Test for proximity
-- -----------------------
-- The UNIT class contains methods to test the location or proximity against zones or other objects.
--
-- ### 1.6.1) Zones
-- To test whether the Unit is within a **zone**, use the @{#UNIT.IsInZone}() or the @{#UNIT.IsNotInZone}() methods. Any zone can be tested on, but the zone must be derived from @{Core.Zone#ZONE_BASE}.
--
-- ### 1.6.2) Units
-- Test if another DCS Unit is within a given radius of the current DCS Unit, use the @{#UNIT.OtherUnitInRadius}() method.
