MrxSupportDesignatorBeacon

Module: mrxsupportdesignatorbeacon.lua

Overview

The MrxSupportDesignatorBeacon module is a subclass of MrxSupportDesignator that handles the creation and management of beacon designators. Beacon designators are used to mark specific locations in the game world, typically for support operations like air strikes or supply drops.

Inheritance

Inherits from: MrxSupportDesignator
Imports: none

Instance pattern

This is a per-instance object module (keyed by uGuid). It tracks the following key fields:

uOwner: The owner of the designator.
bDesignateOnDeath: Indicates whether designation should occur on death.
bDesignationComplete: Indicates whether the designation process is complete.
sDesignationType: The type of designator, set to “Beacon Designator”.
fValidationFunction: The validation function for the designator, set to nil.
tCallbackList: A list of callbacks associated with the designator.
sAATestLevel: The AA test level, set to “jammer”.
nX, nY, nZ: Coordinates of the designator in the world.
uGuid: The unique GUID of the designator.

Functions

`Create(self, oNewDesignator)`

Creates a new per-instance table for the beacon designator using the module’s prototype. Initializes various fields such as owner, designation type, and coordinates.

`GetType(self)`

Returns the type of the designator, which is “beacon”.

Events

Listens for none (this module does not subscribe to any engine events).

Notes for modders

Ensure that the Create function is called appropriately when initializing a new beacon designator.
The sAATestLevel field is set to “jammer” by default, which may affect how the designator interacts with anti-air systems.
Customize the designator’s behavior by modifying fields like bDesignateOnDeath and tCallbackList.
Be aware that the validation function (fValidationFunction) is not used in this module.
