Detailed Description

DtFollowEntityTask represents a follow entity task for an entity to perform.

It inherits read/writableness from SimTask, and includes the entity to follow, and the offset from the entity. This offset is expressed in body coordinates (x out the front, y to the right, z down). z is ignored for ground vehicles. Therefore, to have a ground vehicle follow another entity 20m behind and 5m to the right, the offset vector would be (-20., 5., 0.)

If the entity to follow does not exist, the following entity stops. If at some later point during the simulation, the entity-to-follow comes into existence, then the entity starts following it. If the entity being followed gets destroyed, the following entity stops and sends a taskComplete(), indicating that it is finished executing the task and is ready for a new task.

An entity executing a DtFollowEntityTask will not advance to another task unless one of the following things happens:

task-type: DtFollowEntityType

parameters: entity to follow - Echelon ID string (object name) of the entity to be followed.

offset vector - Following offset expressed in body coordinates, rela- tive to the entity to be followed. In body coordinates, the X-axis points out the front of the entity, the Y-axis points to the right, and Z- axis points down. Units are in meters. For example, if the entity was tasked to follow 25 m behind the entity, and 5 m to the right, then the offset vector would be <-25.0, 5.0, 0.0>.
