<h1>Module <code>Client</code></h1>
<p>This module contains the CLIENT class.</p>
<h1>1) <a href="Client.html##(CLIENT)">Client#CLIENT</a> class, extends <a href="Unit.html##(UNIT)">Unit#UNIT</a></h1>
<p>Clients are those <strong>Units</strong> defined within the Mission Editor that have the skillset defined as <strong>Client</strong> or <strong>Player</strong>.
Note that clients are NOT the same as Units, they are NOT necessarily alive.
The <a href="Client.html##(CLIENT)">Client#CLIENT</a> class is a wrapper class to handle the DCS Unit objects that have the skillset defined as <strong>Client</strong> or <strong>Player</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Wraps the DCS Unit objects with skill level set to Player or Client.</li>
<li>Support all DCS Unit APIs.</li>
<li>Enhance with Unit specific APIs not in the DCS Group API set.</li>
<li>When player joins Unit, execute alive init logic.</li>
<li>Handles messages to players.</li>
<li>Manage the "state" of the DCS Unit.</li>
</ul>
<p>Clients are being used by the <a href="MISSION.html">MISSION</a> class to follow players and register their successes.</p>
<h2>1.1) CLIENT reference methods</h2>
<p>For each DCS Unit having skill level Player or Client, a CLIENT wrapper object (instance) will be created within the _<a href="DATABASE.html">DATABASE</a> object.
This is done at the beginning of the mission (when the mission starts).</p>
<p>The CLIENT 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.</p>
<p>Another thing to know is that CLIENT objects do not "contain" the DCS Unit object.
The CLIENT 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 CLIENT methods will return nil and log an exception in the DCS.log file.</p>
<p>The CLIENT class provides the following functions to retrieve quickly the relevant CLIENT instance:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="##(CLIENT).Find">CLIENT.Find</a>(): Find a CLIENT instance from the _DATABASE object using a DCS Unit object.</li>
<li><a href="##(CLIENT).FindByName">CLIENT.FindByName</a>(): Find a CLIENT instance from the _DATABASE object using a DCS Unit name.</li>
</ul>
<p>IMPORTANT: ONE SHOULD NEVER SANATIZE these CLIENT OBJECT REFERENCES! (make the CLIENT object references nil).</p>
