ED [DCS USER MANUAL]
As discussed previously, Tasks and Enroute Tasks are executed as processes, i.e. requite
time to complete. Commands are executed instantaneously. Options set rules and
limitations for the group.
Only one Task can be performed at a time. Some additional priority rules apply when
triggered actions are present in addition to standard waypoint actions, which we will
discuss below.
Multiple Enroute Tasks can be active at the same time, but only one can be executed at
a time. All Enroute Tasks are stopped if a Task needs to be performed. If an Enroute
Tasks is stopped to perform a Task, the Enroute Task is reactivated upon completion of
the Task.
Commands and Options are executed instantaneously according to the order in the
actions list or priority setting.
All actions listed in the actions list are displayed using a standard format of Action
Number, Action Type with parameter(s), Action Name, Action Attribute:
.(, , … )“”
- - …-
The Action Name is an optional custom name for the action for easier identification in
the actions list. This field can be left blank (empty).
The Action Attributes are used to reference one or more of the following possible
attributes:
“-x” – disabled action;
“-a” – automatically generated action;
“-!” – invalid action. This attribute indicates an incorrect action, usually resulting
from the action being incompatible with the group's mission task as set in the
Group Properties Panel. This may be due to the mission designer changing the
group's mission task after creating the action;
“-/” – action includes a start condition;
“-/” – action includes a stop condition;
“-/” – action includes both a start and stop condition;
“-ref” – action was started at a previous waypoint.
Additionally, black, grey and red font colors are used to denote:
black – valid action;
grey – automatically generated action;
red – invalid action.
