Detailed Description

Class DtAggregateFormationController is a controller that manages the formation state for an aggregate entity.

End User Description: The DtAggregateFormationController manages the state associated with an aggregate entity's formation. This includes determining who is eligible to participate in the formation, and who should be positioned relative to whom when participating in the formation.

It is intended to work in conjunction with the aggregate controllers that model the various movement behaviors (e.g. DtAggregateMoveAlongController, DtAggregatePatrolBetweenController). The DtAggregateFormationController sets formation state (keeping it up to date), and the movement controllers examine the formation state and use that information to execute movement in formation.

This controller may only be configured as a part of an entity that has a vrf-aggregate-state-repository.

Developer Description: The DtAggregateFormationController class handles all DtSetDataRequests that affect formation, including DtSetLocationRequests, DtSetHeadingRequests, and DtSnapIntoFormationRequests. It sets the state in the aggregate entity's DtFormationState object (owned by the DtVrfAggregateStateRepository class). Therefore it should only be configured as part of an aggregate entity that has a DtVrfAggregateStateRepository.

Uses Descriptor Type: DtFormationControllerDescriptor

virtual bool DtDisaggregatedFormationController::init ( )

virtual

Initializes myCommandRadio and myAggregateStateRepository members.

Must be called before any other member functions are called. Disables callbacks in formation state object (will be enabled after first nonzero tick).

Returns: True if component is completely successfully initialized, false if not.

Reimplemented from DtControllerComponent.

virtual void DtDisaggregatedFormationController::tick ( )

virtual

Calls formationUpdateIsNeeded().

If this returns true, calls updateFormation(). Enables callbacks in formation state object after first non-zero tick.

Reimplemented from DtSimComponent.

virtual const char* DtDisaggregatedFormationController::type ( ) const

virtual

Returns a string identifies the class type of component.

Type values are defined in compTypes.h. DtSimComponent creation functions are registered with the DtSimComponentFactory using the type values as the key. Warning: this function should always return the same pointer and it should be valid forever. This means the data should be static.

Returns: DtAggregateFormationControllerType

virtual void DtDisaggregatedFormationController::processSubordinatesChanged	(	const DtUUID &	superior,
		const DtUUID &	subordinate

protectedvirtual

Handler for subordinates changed callback.

If formation is of type DtOtherAggregateFormation, changes it to DtWorkingFormation. Next, if formation is of type DtWorkingFormation, calls generateWorkingFormation() to create a formation given the current aggregate location, orientation, and subordinate positions. Finally, calls updateFormationState().

Parameters

entId The ID of the entity whose subordinates have changed (ID of the aggregate).

virtual void DtDisaggregatedFormationController::snapIntoFormation	(	const DtString &	formation,
		const DtVector &	location,
		double	heading,
		bool	applyHeading
	)

protectedvirtual

Puts the aggregate into the given formation, at the given location and heading.

Issues set data request messages to each subordinate in the aggregate. Computes the position for each subordinate needed to construct the formation at the given location and heading. For individual subordinates, issues DtSetLocationRequests and DtSetHeadingRequests at the computed location and given heading. If applyFormationToSubaggregates is true (recurse), then for aggregate subordinates, issues DtSnapIntoFormationRequests at the computed location and given heading, thereby recursively snapping the aggregate into formation. Otherwise (applyFormationToSubordinates is false, no recursion) issues DtSetLocationRequest and DtSetHeadingReuqest to aggregate subordinates in the same way as for individuals. This allows for mixed formation (don't recursively apply given formation to subordinate aggregates).

Parameters

formation	Type of formation to snap into.
location	Local position aggregate where aggregate should position itself in formation.
heading	Heading in radians at which aggregate should position itself in formation.

virtual void DtDisaggregatedFormationController::getCurrentFormation ( DtFormation & formation )

protectedvirtual

Get current formation position and formation type.

If aggregate has a working formation, returns the current ad hoc formation positions from the process state repository. Otherwise, looks up known type of formation (e.g. column, line, wedge), return the formation from the formation descriptor.

Parameters

formation Type of formation (see extendedAggregateEnums.h for list of available types).

virtual std::list<int> DtDisaggregatedFormationController::generateFormationPositions ( DtOrgViewManagedObjectListConstPtr & entityInFormation )

protectedvirtual

Generates a list of formation positions for each entity in the formation.
