DtDisaggregatedFormationController Class Reference

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. The formation state is kept in the aggregateStateComponent (i.e. DtAggregateStateComponentData).

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

Returns

New instance of this class.

virtual void DtDisaggregatedFormationController::checkForFormationStateUpdate ( )

protectedvirtual

Called after the first advance frame, if this is a disaggregated unit update the formation state.

virtual bool DtDisaggregatedFormationController::formationUpdateIsNeeded ( )

protectedvirtual

Walks list of subordinates in formation state. Calls DtFormationState::isAvailableForFormation() for each subordinate. If any subordinate fails this test, returns true, otherwise returns false.

virtual void DtDisaggregatedFormationController::processSetFormation ( DtSimMessage *  msg )

protectedvirtual

Handler for setFormationCallback(). If aggregate is currently tasked, calls updateFormationState(). Issues a DtSnapIntoFormationRequest to itself at the formation given in the incoming message.

Parameters

msg	Message containing a DtSetFormationRequest.

virtual void DtDisaggregatedFormationController::processSetFormationType ( DtSimMessage *  msg )

protectedvirtual

Handler for setFormationTypeCallback(). If aggregate is currently tasked, calls updateFormationState(). Will only set the formation name and then call updateFormationState() (again). Usually used in conjunction with a task that will move the aggregate into the requested formation (as opposed to snapping it into formation).

Parameters

msg	Message containing a DtSetFormationRequest.

virtual void DtDisaggregatedFormationController::processSetHeading ( DtSimMessage *  msg )

protectedvirtual

Handler for setHeadingCallback(). If aggregate is currently tasked, calls updateFormationState(). Issues a DtSnapIntoFormationRequest to itself at the heading given in the incoming message.

Parameters

msg	Message containing a DtSetHeadingRequest.

virtual void DtDisaggregatedFormationController::processSetLocation ( DtSimMessage *  msg )

protectedvirtual

Handler for setLocationCallback(). If aggregate is currently tasked, calls updateFormationState(). Issues a DtSnapIntoFormationRequest to itself at the heading given in the incoming message.

Parameters

msg	Message containing a DtSetHeadingRequest.

virtual void DtDisaggregatedFormationController::processSnapIntoFormation ( DtSimMessage *  msg )

protectedvirtual

Handler for snapIntoFormationCallback(). If aggregate is currently tasked, calls updateFormationState(). Then calls snapIntoFormation().

Parameters

msg	Message containing a DtSnapIntoFromationRequest.

virtual void DtDisaggregatedFormationController::processSubordinateAdded ( const DtUUID &  info )

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::processSubordinateRemoved ( const DtUUID &  info )

protectedvirtual

virtual void DtDisaggregatedFormationController::processDesignatorOrderChanged ( )

protectedvirtual

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 std::string DtDisaggregatedFormationController::getCurrentFormation ( const DtOrganizedManagedObjectList &  subordList, DtFormation &  formation  )

protectedvirtual

Get current formation position and formation type. If aggregate has a nextFrameFormationName, then it gets that formation from aggregateParameters and returns it. Note that this will be the "regularized" name, i.e. lower case and with '_' characters. Otherwise, if the formationName is null or DtWorkingFormationString, it computes the workingFormation from the process state and returns DtWorkingFormationString. If the formation in the parameters is not valid (mal-formed) or missing, the DtWorkingFormationString is used. Sets myInvalidFormationName as a side effect.

Parameters

subordList	List of subordinates that can be moved in formation. The positions of these objects are used to create the working formation if that is needed.
formation	Type of formation (see extendedAggregateEnums.h for list of available types).

virtual std::vector<int> DtDisaggregatedFormationController::assignPromotionIdsToSubordinates ( std::vector< DtUUID > &  subordinateList, DtFormation &  formation, const std::string  formationName, const bool  doPromote = false  )

protectedvirtual

Create a list of indices where each index corresponds to an entity in the subordinateList. Each index will indicate which promotion ID in the formation that entity should use.

Parameters

subordinateList	Vector of UUIDs for the subordinates in formation currently. In any order. ***If there is any error in assigning promotion IDs to subordinates, the subordinateList will be modified to omit that subordinate.***
formation	The formation the unit is currently (ordered to be) in. Provides the promotion IDs for each slot in the formation.
formationName	The name of the formation. Not used in this implementation, but could be used in an overridden version of this function to provide more information about how to assign subordinates, especially if the unit is under strength.
promote	If true, then the n entities will use formation positions corresponding to promotion IDs 0 to n-1. This is only meaningful if there are fewer subordinates than formation positions. The subordinates are all promoted to lower promotion IDs (not necessarily lower unit indices) to fill in gaps in the formation. If promote is false, then each promotion ID will be the one for the formation entry (i.e., the DtFormationEntry in the DtFormation list) corresponding to the entity's position in the unit (i.e., designator value - 1). If the entityList is missing some subordinates because they are destroyed or independently tasked, then the promotion IDs produced may not include 0, and may not be consecutive.

virtual int DtDisaggregatedFormationController::findPositionInVector ( const std::vector< DtUUID >  subordinateList, const DtUUID &  entityId  ) const

protectedvirtual

Helper function for generateFormationPositions().

Returns

The position of entityId in the vector subordinateList.

virtual void DtDisaggregatedFormationController::extendFormation ( DtFormation &  formation, const std::string  formationName, const int  size  )

protectedvirtual

Extend the given formation to have the given number of slots. The implementation here just calls formation.createAndAddFormationEntry, but an overridden version of this could use the unit type and the given formation name to generate better positions.

Parameters

formation	An in-out parameter– the formation to be extended.
formationName	Not used in this implementation.
size	The total number of formation positions needed.

virtual void DtDisaggregatedFormationController::generateFormationAtPositionAndOrientation ( const DtVector &  geocentricOrigin, const DtTaitBryan &  geocentricOrientation, std::vector< DtVector >  geocentricPositions, DtFormation &  formation  )

protectedvirtual

Constructs an ad hoc formation (set of positional offsets of participants) based on current relative positioning of subordinates, at given location and orientation.

Parameters

geocentricOrigin	Origin of coordinate system in geocentric coordinates, in which relative formation positions are computed from geocentric subordinate positions.
geocentricOrientation	Orientation of coordinate system in geocentric coordinates, to be used to compute formation positions from subordinate positions.
formation	constructed from relative subordinate positions.

virtual void DtDisaggregatedFormationController::generateWorkingFormation ( DtFormation &  formation, const DtOrganizedManagedObjectList &    )

protectedvirtual

Creates an ad hoc formation from the current eligible subordinates current positions relative to one another.

Parameters

formation

The generated formation.

virtual void DtDisaggregatedFormationController::updateFormationState ( )

protectedvirtual

Updates subordinate list using the DtFormationableSubordinatePredicate filter. Sets the "current working formation" (i.e., computed from current subordinate locations). Gets the current formation name in the aggregate state repository and computes a new formation state given the current subordinates and this formation.

virtual void DtDisaggregatedFormationController::sendRequestToSelf ( const DtSetDataRequest &  request ) const

protectedvirtual

Send given request to ourself. Fills out data request message and sends it through the aggregate's radio.

Parameters

request

A set data request to be issued to ourself.

virtual void DtDisaggregatedFormationController::sendRequestToSubordinate ( const DtSetDataRequest &  request, const DtUUID &  subordinate  ) const

protectedvirtual

Send given request to one of our subordinates. Fills out data request message and sends it to subordinate through our entity's radio.

Parameters

request	The data request to send to the given subordinate.
subordinateObjectName	The object name of the subordinate to be given the set data request.

virtual bool DtDisaggregatedFormationController::createPSR ( )

protectedvirtual

Creates myProcessState data member, and adds it to our process state repository manager. Passes in the name and type specified in the component descriptor (if they exist) to the DtVrfProcessStateRepository::createRepository factory method. If name and/or type is not specified, uses the appropriate default strings defined in procSRTypes.h.

virtual void DtDisaggregatedFormationController::processRequestAvailableFormations ( const DtVrfObjectMessage *  msg )

protectedvirtual

virtual void DtDisaggregatedFormationController::addSetDataCallbacks ( )

protectedvirtual

Add set data request callbacks. Set data request callbacks are added when component is first created, and whenever component is enabled.

Reimplemented in DtDisaggregatedConvoyFormationController.

void DtDisaggregatedFormationController::removeSetDataCallbacks ( )

protected

Callbacks are removed when component is disabled or destroyed. Non-virtual because it is called from the destructor.

virtual void DtDisaggregatedFormationController::timedTick ( )

overrideprotectedvirtual

This version of tick checks to see if the time to tick has arrived. It checks to see if myNextTickTime <= currentTime, where current time is either exerciseClock()->approximateElapsedRealTime() or exerciseClock()->simTime() depending on the tick-period-uses-real-time parameter. If true, it calls tick(), then calls postTick(), and then recalculates the next time to call timedTick() (myNextTickTime) by calling calculateNextTickTime().

Reimplemented from DtSimComponent.
