Global SPAWN
+Allows to spawn dynamically new Wrapper.Group s.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
#SPAWN
+
SPAWN
+
+
Allows to spawn dynamically new Wrapper.Group s.
+
+
+
+
Each SPAWN object needs to be have related template groups setup in the Mission Editor (ME),
+which is a normal group with the Late Activation flag set.
+This template group will never be activated in your mission.
+SPAWN uses that template group to reference to all the characteristics
+(air, ground, livery, unit composition, formation, skill level etc) of each new group to be spawned.
+
+
Therefore, when creating a SPAWN object, the SPAWN.New and SPAWN.NewWithAlias require
+the name of the template group to be given as a string to those constructor methods.
+
+
Initialization settings can be applied on the SPAWN object,
+which modify the behavior or the way groups are spawned.
+These initialization methods have the prefix Init .
+There are also spawn methods with the prefix Spawn and will spawn new groups in various ways.
+
+
IMPORTANT! The methods with prefix Init must be used before any methods with prefix Spawn method are used, or unexpected results may appear!!!
+
+
Because SPAWN can spawn multiple groups of a template group,
+SPAWN has an internal index that keeps track
+which was the latest group that was spawned.
+
+
Limits can be set on how many groups can be spawn in each SPAWN object,
+using the method SPAWN.InitLimit . SPAWN has 2 kind of limits:
+
+
+ The maximum amount of Wrapper.Unit s that can be alive at the same time...
+ The maximum amount of Wrapper.Group s that can be spawned ... This is more of a resource -type of limit.
+
+
+
When new groups get spawned using the Spawn methods,
+it will be evaluated whether any limits have been reached.
+When no spawn limit is reached, a new group will be created by the spawning methods,
+and the internal index will be increased with 1.
+
+
These limits ensure that your mission does not accidentally get flooded with spawned groups.
+Additionally, it also guarantees that independent of the group composition,
+at any time, the most optimal amount of groups are alive in your mission.
+For example, if your template group has a group composition of 10 units, and you specify a limit of 100 units alive at the same time,
+with unlimited resources = :InitLimit( 100, 0 ) and 10 groups are alive, but two groups have only one unit alive in the group,
+then a sequent Spawn(Scheduled) will allow a new group to be spawned!!!
+
+
IMPORTANT!! If a limit has been reached, it is possible that a Spawn method returns nil , meaning, no Wrapper.Group had been spawned!!!
+
+
Spawned groups get the same name as the name of the template group.
+Spawned units in those groups keep by default the same name as the name of the template group.
+However, because multiple groups and units are created from the template group,
+a suffix is added to each spawned group and unit.
+
+
Newly spawned groups will get the following naming structure at run-time:
+
+
+ Spawned groups will have the name GroupName #nnn , where GroupName is the name of the template group ,
+ and nnn is a counter from 0 to 999 .
+ Spawned units will have the name GroupName #nnn -uu ,
+ where uu is a counter from 0 to 99 for each new spawned unit belonging to the group.
+
+
+
That being said, there is a way to keep the same unit names!
+The method SPAWN.InitKeepUnitNames () will keep the same unit names as defined within the template group, thus:
+
+
+ Spawned units will have the name UnitName #nnn -uu ,
+ where UnitName is the unit name as defined in the template group*,
+ and uu is a **counter from 0 to 99 for each new spawned unit belonging to the group.
+
+
+
Some additional notes that need to be considered!! :
+
+
+ templates are actually groups defined within the mission editor, with the flag "Late Activation" set.
+ As such, these groups are never used within the mission, but are used by the #SPAWN module.
+ It is important to defined BEFORE you spawn new groups,
+ a proper initialization of the SPAWN instance is done with the options you want to use.
+ When designing a mission, NEVER name groups using a "#" within the name of the group Spawn template(s),
+ or the SPAWN module logic won't work anymore.
+
+
+
SPAWN construction methods
+
+
Create a new SPAWN object with the SPAWN.New () or the SPAWN.NewWithAlias () methods:
+
+
+ SPAWN.New (): Creates a new SPAWN object taking the name of the group that represents the GROUP template (definition).SPAWN.NewWithAlias (): Creates a new SPAWN object taking the name of the group that represents the GROUP template (definition), and gives each spawned Wrapper.Group an different name.
+
+
It is important to understand how the SPAWN class works internally. The SPAWN object created will contain internally a list of groups that will be spawned and that are already spawned.
+The initialization methods will modify this list of groups so that when a group gets spawned, ALL information is already prepared when spawning. This is done for performance reasons.
+So in principle, the group list will contain all parameters and configurations after initialization, and when groups get actually spawned, this spawning can be done quickly and efficient.
+
+
SPAWN Init ialization methods
+
+
A spawn object will behave differently based on the usage of initialization methods, which all start with the Init prefix:
+
+
Unit Names
+
+
+ SPAWN.InitKeepUnitNames (): Keeps the unit names as defined within the mission editor, but note that anything after a # mark is ignored, and any spaces before and after the resulting name are removed. IMPORTANT! This method MUST be the first used after :New !!!
+
+
Route randomization
+
+
+
+
Group composition randomization
+
+
+ SPAWN.InitRandomizeTemplate (): Randomize the group templates so that when a new group is spawned, a random group template is selected from one of the templates defined.
+
+
Uncontrolled
+
+
+
+
Array formation
+
+
+ SPAWN.InitArray (): Make groups visible before they are actually activated, and order these groups like a battalion in an array.
+
+
Group initial position - if wanted different from template position, for use with e.g. SPAWN.SpawnScheduled ().
+
+
+
+
Set the positions of a group's units to absolute positions, or relative positions to unit No. 1
+
+
+
+
Position randomization
+
+
+
+
Enable / Disable AI when spawning a new Wrapper.Group
+
+
+
+
Limit scheduled spawning
+
+
+ SPAWN.InitLimit (): Limits the amount of groups that can be alive at the same time and that can be dynamically spawned.
+
+
Delay initial scheduled spawn
+
+
+
+
Repeat spawned Wrapper.Group s upon landing
+
+
+
+
Link-16 Datalink STN and SADL IDs (limited at the moment to F15/16/18/AWACS/Tanker/B1B, but not the F15E for clients, SADL A10CII only)
+
+
+ SPAWN.InitSTN (): Set the STN of the first unit in the group. All other units will have consecutive STNs, provided they have not been used yet.SPAWN.InitSADL (): Set the SADL of the first unit in the group. All other units will have consecutive SADLs, provided they have not been used yet.

SPAWN Spawn methods
+
+
Groups can be spawned at different times and methods:
+
+
Single spawning methods
+
+
+
+
Note that SPAWN.Spawn and SPAWN.ReSpawn return a Wrapper.Group#GROUP.New object, that contains a reference to the DCSGroup object.
+You can use the Wrapper.Group#GROUP object to do further actions with the DCSGroup.
+
+
Scheduled spawning methods
+
+
+
+
Retrieve alive GROUPs spawned by the SPAWN object
+
+
The SPAWN class administers which GROUPS it has reserved (in stock) or has created during mission execution.
+Every time a SPAWN object spawns a new GROUP object, a reference to the GROUP object is added to an internal table of GROUPS.
+SPAWN provides methods to iterate through that internal GROUP object reference table:
+
+
+ SPAWN.GetFirstAliveGroup (): Will find the first alive GROUP it has spawned, and return the alive GROUP object and the first Index where the first alive GROUP object has been found.SPAWN.GetNextAliveGroup (): Will find the next alive GROUP object from a given Index, and return a reference to the alive GROUP object and the next Index where the alive GROUP has been found.SPAWN.GetLastAliveGroup (): Will find the last alive GROUP object, and will return a reference to the last live GROUP object and the last Index where the last alive GROUP object has been found.
+
+
You can use the methods SPAWN.GetFirstAliveGroup () and sequently SPAWN.GetNextAliveGroup () to iterate through the alive GROUPS within the SPAWN object, and to actions... See the respective methods for an example.
+The method SPAWN.GetGroupFromIndex () will return the GROUP object reference from the given Index, dead or alive...
+
+
Spawned cleaning of inactive groups
+
+
Sometimes, it will occur during a mission run-time, that ground or especially air objects get damaged, and will while being damaged stop their activities, while remaining alive.
+In such cases, the SPAWN object will just sit there and wait until that group gets destroyed, but most of the time it won't,
+and it may occur that no new groups are or can be spawned as limits are reached.
+To prevent this, a SPAWN.InitCleanUp () initialization method has been defined that will silently monitor the status of each spawned group.
+Once a group has a velocity = 0, and has been waiting for a defined interval, that group will be cleaned or removed from run-time.
+There is a catch however :-) If a damaged group has returned to an airbase within the coalition, that group will not be considered as "lost"...
+In such a case, when the inactive group is cleaned, a new group will Re-spawned automatically.
+This models AI that has successfully returned to their airbase, to restart their combat activities.
+Check the SPAWN.InitCleanUp () for further info.
+
+
Catch the Wrapper.Group Spawn Event in a callback function!
+
+
When using the SPAWN.SpawnScheduled s are created following the spawn time interval parameters.
+When a new Wrapper.Group is spawned, you maybe want to execute actions with that group spawned at the spawn event.
+The SPAWN class supports this functionality through the method SPAWN.OnSpawnGroup ( *function( SpawnedGroup ) end * ),
+which takes a function as a parameter that you can define locally.
+Whenever a new Wrapper.Group is spawned, the given function is called, and the Wrapper.Group that was just spawned, is given as a parameter.
+As a result, your spawn event handling function requires one parameter to be declared, which will contain the spawned Wrapper.Group object.
+A coding example is provided at the description of the SPAWN.OnSpawnGroup ( *function( SpawnedGroup ) end * ) method.
+
+
Delay the initial spawning
+
+
When using the SPAWN.SpawnScheduled
+immediately when :SpawnScheduled() is initiated. The methods SPAWN.InitDelayOnOff () and SPAWN.InitDelayOn () can be used to
+activate a delay before the first Wrapper.Group is spawned. For completeness, a method SPAWN.InitDelayOff () is also available, that
+can be used to switch off the initial delay. Because there is no delay by default, this method would only be used when a
+SPAWN.SpawnScheduleStop () ; SPAWN.SpawnScheduleStart () sequence would have been used.

+Exceptionally powerful when combined with SpawnSchedule for Respawning.
+Note that this method is exceptionally important to balance the performance of the mission. Depending on the machine etc, a mission can only process a maximum amount of units.
+If the time interval must be short, but there should not be more Units or Groups alive than a maximum amount of units, then this method should be used...
+When a SPAWN.New is executed and the limit of the amount of units alive is reached, then no new spawn will happen of the group, until some of these units of the spawn object will be destroyed.

For planes and helicopters, when these groups go home and land on their home airbases and FARPs, they normally would taxi to the parking spot, shut-down their engines and wait forever until the Group is removed by the runtime environment.
+
+
+
This method is used to re-spawn automatically (so no extra call is needed anymore) the same group after it has landed.
+This will enable a spawned group to be re-spawned after it lands, until it is destroyed...
+Note: When the group is respawned, it will re-spawn from the original airbase where it took off.
+So ensure that the routes for groups that respawn, always return to the original airbase, or players may get confused ...

Will park a group at an Wrapper.Airbase .
+
+
+
This method is mostly advisable to be used if you want to simulate parking units at an airbase and be visible.
+Note that each point in the route assigned to the spawning group is reset to the point of the spawn.
+
+
All groups that are in the spawn collection and that are alive, and not in the air, are parked.
+
+
The Wrapper.Airbase#AIRBASE object must refer to a valid airbase known in the sim.
+You can use the following enumerations to search for the pre-defined airbases on the current known maps of DCS:
+
+
+
+
Use the method Wrapper.Airbase#AIRBASE.FindByName () to retrieve the airbase object.
+The known AIRBASE objects are automatically imported at mission start by MOOSE.
+Therefore, there isn't any New() constructor defined for AIRBASE objects.
+
+
Ships and FARPs are added within the mission, and are therefore not known.
+For these AIRBASE objects, there isn't an Wrapper.Airbase#AIRBASE enumeration defined.
+You need to provide the exact name of the airbase as the parameter to the Wrapper.Airbase#AIRBASE.FindByName () method!

For planes and helicopters, when these groups go home and land on their home airbases and FARPs, they normally would taxi to the parking spot, shut-down their engines and wait forever until the Group is removed by the runtime environment.
+
+
+
This method is used to re-spawn automatically (so no extra call is needed anymore) the same group after it has landed.
+This will enable a spawned group to be re-spawned after it lands, until it is destroyed...
+Note: When the group is respawned, it will re-spawn from the original airbase where it took off.
+So ensure that the routes for groups that respawn, always return to the original airbase, or players may get confused ...

+
+
Spawns new groups at varying time intervals.
+
+
+
This is useful if you want to have continuity within your missions of certain (AI) groups to be present (alive) within your missions.
+WARNING - Setting a very low SpawnTime heavily impacts your mission performance and CPU time, it is NOT useful to check the alive state of an object every split second! Be reasonable and stay at 15 seconds and above!
+
+

Parameters:
+
+
+
+ #number
+ SpawnTime
+
+
+
+
The time interval defined in seconds between each new spawn of new groups.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ #number
+ SpawnTimeVariation
+
+
+
+
The variation to be applied on the defined time interval between each new spawn.
+The variation is a number between 0 and 1, representing the % of variation to be applied on the time interval.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ #boolean
+ WithDelay
+
+
+
+
Do not spawn the first group immediately, but delay the spawn as per the calculation below.
+Effectively the same as #InitDelayOn ().
+
+
+
+
Return value:
+
+
Usage:
+
-- NATO helicopters engaging in the battle field.
+-- The time interval is set to SPAWN new helicopters between each 600 seconds, with a time variation of 50%.
+-- The time variation in this case will be between 450 seconds and 750 seconds.
+-- This is calculated as follows:
+-- Low limit: 600 * ( 1 - 0.5 / 2 ) = 450
+-- High limit: 600 * ( 1 + 0.5 / 2 ) = 750
+-- Between these two values, a random amount of seconds will be chosen for each new spawn of the helicopters.
