Detailed Description

User Description: A controller which carries out the "Flight Command" tasks DtFlyHeadingTask, DtFlyAltitudeTask and DtFlyHeadingAndAltitudeTask for fixed wing aircraft.

This controller works slightly differently from most task controllers in the way the tasks interact. Specifically, portions of a previous task are remembered if a number of these tasks are issues in succession. For example, if a Fly Heading task is issued, followed by a Fly Altitude task before the Fly Heading task is complete, the aircraft will continue to turn to the original desired heading while also climbing/descending to the new desired altitude. Additionally, this controller will replace the default behavior of the entity following the completion of any of these tasks. Once the aircraft reaches the desired heading and altitude from the task, taskComplete() will be called, and the task will be considered complete (so the next plan statement will be executed, if a plan is in use) however, the controller will continue to fly the aircraft on the heading and altitude specified until another task takes priority.

Parameters
nameReader writer name of this component.
ownerThe DtVrfObject that owns this component
simManagerThe simulation manager (provides access to terrain, message interface, simulation clock).
descThe component descriptor used to initialize this component.
parentRegistryPointer to the parent reader writer registry (the containing object that reads/writes this object).

Member Function Documentation

virtual bool DtFixedWingFlightCommandController::init ( )
virtual

Initializes myFixedWingEntityState.

Reimplemented from DtFixedWingPilotController.

virtual bool DtFixedWingFlightCommandController::beginProcessingTask ( const DtTaskMessage task,
DtSimTaskStatePtr  taskState 
)
virtual

Called by the task manager when this controller should start executing the specified task.

Parameters
taskStateUsed to convey at what point the task should begin execution. If taskState exists, execution of task may begin at some point other than the logical start of the task. If taskState is 0, begin processing at the logical start of the task.
Returns
True if the controller can successfully start the task.
False if the controller is failing the task.

Reimplemented from DtSingleTaskControllerComponent.

virtual void DtFixedWingFlightCommandController::tick ( )
virtual

Only gets actuator values the first time it's called.

Call lookupAndCacheProcessSR(), to look up myProcessState, if it hasn't already been found.

Reimplemented from DtFixedWingPilotController.

virtual const char* DtFixedWingFlightCommandController::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
DtFixedWingFlightCommandControllerType

Reimplemented from DtFixedWingPilotController.

virtual bool DtFixedWingFlightCommandController::showCurrentTaskInGui ( ) const
virtual

Overridden from parent class in order to display the current task even after it has completed and is the current default behavior.

Reimplemented from DtTaskControllerComponent.

static void DtFixedWingFlightCommandController::taskNotifyCallback ( const DtSimTask task,
const DtSimComponent notifier,
void *  usr 
)
static

Receive notifications of other tasks starting on the entity so this default behavior can be stopped.

virtual void DtFixedWingFlightCommandController::processTaskNotify ( const DtSimTask task,
const DtSimComponent notifier 
)
virtual
static DtSimComponent* DtFixedWingFlightCommandController::creator ( const DtString name,

DtSimManager simManager,
DtComponentDescriptor desc = 0,
DtReaderWriterRegistry parentRegistry = 0 
)
static

(const DtString&,DtVrfObject*,DtSimManager*,

Parameters
nameReader writer name of this component.
ownerThe DtVrfObject that owns this component
simManagerThe simulation manager (provides access to terrain, message interface, simulation clock).
descThe component descriptor used to initialize this component.
parentRegistryPointer to the parent reader writer registry (the containing object that reads/writes this object).
(const DtString&,DtVrfObject*,DtSimManager*, DtComponentDescriptor*,DtReaderWriterRegistry* parentRegistry)

Returns
New instance of this class.

Reimplemented from DtFixedWingPilotController.

virtual void DtFixedWingFlightCommandController::clearTask ( )
protectedvirtual

Overridden to deactivate the port group when this controller completes a task.

Reimplemented from DtFixedWingPilotController.
