FEATURE: Set SAM's to "random" behaviour

132ndNeck commented 5 years ago

Request is to set certain SAM groups to operate in "random" behaviour (As opposed to the "trap" mode in Issue #8 )

In random mode the SAM group behaves in the following manner:

Randomly turn off/on the radar ( on for 60-180 seconds, off for 120-360 seconds)
When off, moves to a randomly new location 20-100 meters away from current location (THIS ONLY FOR SAM's that can move, not SA-3, SA-2, SA-6, SA-10).
If something is detected within the WEZ (weapon engagement zone) when it is on, the SAM stays on and tries to shoot down the aircrafts

first two points doable fairly simply by having these named with a prefix and have that script run a timer and flip the switches for move, nothing and illuminate.

The last one is the more challenging though. It's probably easier to abstract if any blue are in a certain range then switch on. Just SA6, SA8m SA11, SA15, SA19 named mobile-SAM-x mobiles = SET_GROUP:New():FilterPrefixes("mobile-SAM-"):FilterStart() Schedule

For each SAM
Any blue in range of me? If so, ROEWeaponsGreen()
Roll dice. 50% on or 50%
If on, stays on
If off, moves ROEWeaponsRed() RouteToVec2(random point in small zone) Repeat every 60-180 seconds

wont be entirely accurate to the specification but that's the jist

Would this be resource intensive for the server?

thebgpikester commented 5 years ago

probably OK, unless lots of them moving at once. But dont expect lots of sams doing this

132ndNeck commented 5 years ago

No, do not expect a lot of SAM groups to do this, but to have the ability, so that the players do not know 100% what to anticipate from the IADS, making it more lethal
