--- **Core** - EVENT models DCS **event dispatching** using a **publish-subscribe** model.

-- # 1) Event Handling Overview
--
-- ![Objects](..\Presentations\EVENT\Dia2.JPG)
--
-- Within a running mission, various DCS events occur. Units are dynamically created, crash, die, shoot stuff, get hit etc.
-- This module provides a mechanism to dispatch those events occuring within your running mission, to the different objects orchestrating your mission.
--
-- ![Objects](..\Presentations\EVENT\Dia3.JPG)
--
-- Objects can subscribe to different events. The Event dispatcher will publish the received DCS events to the subscribed MOOSE objects, in a specified order.
-- In this way, the subscribed MOOSE objects are kept in sync with your evolving running mission.
--
-- ## 1.1) Event Dispatching
--
-- ![Objects](..\Presentations\EVENT\Dia4.JPG)
--
-- The _EVENTDISPATCHER object is automatically created within MOOSE,
-- and handles the dispatching of DCS Events occurring
-- in the simulator to the subscribed objects
-- in the correct processing order.
--
-- ![Objects](..\Presentations\EVENT\Dia5.JPG)
--
-- There are 5 levels of kind of objects that the _EVENTDISPATCHER services:
--
-- * _DATABASE object: The core of the MOOSE objects. Any object that is created, deleted or updated, is done in this database.
-- * SET_ derived classes: Subsets of the _DATABASE object. These subsets are updated by the _EVENTDISPATCHER as the second priority.
-- * UNIT objects: UNIT objects can subscribe to DCS events. Each DCS event will be directly published to teh subscribed UNIT object.
-- * GROUP objects: GROUP objects can subscribe to DCS events. Each DCS event will be directly published to the subscribed GROUP object.
-- * Any other object: Various other objects can subscribe to DCS events. Each DCS event triggered will be published to each subscribed object.
--
-- ![Objects](..\Presentations\EVENT\Dia6.JPG)
--
-- For most DCS events, the above order of updating will be followed.
--
-- ![Objects](..\Presentations\EVENT\Dia7.JPG)
--
-- But for some DCS events, the publishing order is reversed. This is due to the fact that objects need to be **erased** instead of added.
--
-- ## 1.2) Event Handling
--
-- ![Objects](..\Presentations\EVENT\Dia8.JPG)
--
-- The actual event subscribing and handling is not facilitated through the _EVENTDISPATCHER, but it is done through the @{BASE} class, @{UNIT} class and @{GROUP} class.
-- The _EVENTDISPATCHER is a component that is quietly working in the background of MOOSE.
--
-- ![Objects](..\Presentations\EVENT\Dia9.JPG)
--
-- The BASE class provides methods to catch DCS Events. These are events that are triggered from within the DCS simulator,
-- and handled through lua scripting. MOOSE provides an encapsulation to handle these events more efficiently.
--
-- ### 1.2.1 Subscribe / Unsubscribe to DCS Events
--
-- At first, the mission designer will need to **Subscribe** to a specific DCS event for the class.
-- So, when the DCS event occurs, the class will be notified of that event.
-- There are two functions which you use to subscribe to or unsubscribe from an event.
--
-- * @{Base#BASE.HandleEvent}(): Subscribe to a DCS Event.
-- * @{Base#BASE.UnHandleEvent}(): Unsubscribe from a DCS Event.
--
-- Note that for a UNIT, the event will be handled **for that UNIT only**!
-- Note that for a GROUP, the event will be handled **for all the UNITs in that GROUP only**!
--
-- For all objects of other classes, the subscribed events will be handled for **all UNITs within the Mission**!
-- So if a UNIT within the mission has the subscribed event for that object,
-- then the object event handler will receive the event for that UNIT!
--
-- ### 1.3.2 Event Handling of DCS Events
--
-- Once the class is subscribed to the event, an **Event Handling** method on the object or class needs to be written that will be called
-- when the DCS event occurs. The Event Handling method receives an @{Event#EVENTDATA} structure, which contains a lot of information
-- about the event that occurred.
--
-- Find below an example of the prototype how to write an event handling function for two units:
--
-- local Tank1 = UNIT:FindByName( "Tank A" )
-- local Tank2 = UNIT:FindByName( "Tank B" )
--
-- -- Here we subscribe to the Dead events. So, if one of these tanks dies, the Tank1 or Tank2 objects will be notified.
-- Tank1:HandleEvent( EVENTS.Dead )
-- Tank2:HandleEvent( EVENTS.Dead )
--
-- --- This function is an Event Handling function that will be called when Tank1 is Dead.
-- -- @param Wrapper.Unit#UNIT self
-- -- @param Core.Event#EVENTDATA EventData
-- function Tank1:OnEventDead( EventData )
--
-- self:SmokeGreen()
-- end
--
-- --- This function is an Event Handling function that will be called when Tank2 is Dead.
-- -- @param Wrapper.Unit#UNIT self
-- -- @param Core.Event#EVENTDATA EventData
-- function Tank2:OnEventDead( EventData )
--
-- self:SmokeBlue()
-- end
--
-- ### 1.3.3 Event Handling methods that are automatically called upon subscribed DCS events
--
-- ![Objects](..\Presentations\EVENT\Dia10.JPG)
--
-- The following list outlines which EVENTS item in the structure corresponds to which Event Handling method.
-- Always ensure that your event handling methods align with the events being subscribed to, or nothing will be executed.
--
-- # 2) EVENTS type
--
-- The EVENTS structure contains names for all the different DCS events that objects can subscribe to using the
-- @{Base#BASE.HandleEvent}() method.
--
-- # 3) EVENTDATA type
--
-- The @{Event#EVENTDATA} structure contains all the fields that are populated with event information before
-- an Event Handler method is being called by the event dispatcher.
-- The Event Handler received the EVENTDATA object as a parameter, and can be used to investigate further the different events.
-- There are basically 4 main categories of information stored in the EVENTDATA structure:
--
-- * Initiator Unit data: Several fields documenting the initiator unit related to the event.
-- * Target Unit data: Several fields documenting the target unit related to the event.
-- * Weapon data: Certain events populate weapon information.
-- * Place data: Certain events populate place information.
--
-- --- This function is an Event Handling function that will be called when Tank1 is Dead.
-- -- EventData is an EVENTDATA structure.
-- -- We use the EventData.IniUnit to smoke the tank Green.
-- -- @param Wrapper.Unit#UNIT self
-- -- @param Core.Event#EVENTDATA EventData
-- function Tank1:OnEventDead( EventData )
--
-- EventData.IniUnit:SmokeGreen()
-- end
--
--
-- Find below an overview which events populate which information categories:
--
-- ![Objects](..\Presentations\EVENT\Dia14.JPG)
--
-- **IMPORTANT NOTE:** Some events can involve not just UNIT objects, but also STATIC objects!!!
-- In that case the initiator or target unit fields will refer to a STATIC object!
-- In case a STATIC object is involved, the documentation indicates which fields will and won't not be populated.
-- The fields **IniObjectCategory** and **TgtObjectCategory** contain the indicator which **kind of object is involved** in the event.
-- You can use the enumerator **Object.Category.UNIT** and **Object.Category.STATIC** to check on IniObjectCategory and TgtObjectCategory.
-- Example code snippet:
--
-- if Event.IniObjectCategory == Object.Category.UNIT then
-- ...
-- end
-- if Event.IniObjectCategory == Object.Category.STATIC then
-- ...
-- end
--
-- When a static object is involved in the event, the Group and Player fields won't be populated.
