Scripting Root

Envrioment:	Mission Scripting
Function:	isTargetDetected		Added with: 1.2.6
Member Of:	Controller
Syntax:	multiple Controller.isTargetDetected(Class self , Object Target , enum detectionType1, enum detectionType2, enum detectionType3 ...)
Description:	Returns multiple entries that define a number of values if the target is detected by the Unit or group associated with the controller. Values returned are: boolean detected, -- boolean value if the target is detected boolean visible, -- boolean value if target is visible by line of sight ModelTime lastTime, -- the last model time that the target was detected boolean type, -- if the type of target is known boolean distance, -- if distance to the target is known Vec3 lastPos, -- last known position of the target Vec3 lastVel -- last know velocity vector of the target Function is available at the unit level for all unit types. When used with a Group Controller the function will return expected values only with Ground and Ship groups.
Return Value:	multiple
Return Example:
Examples:	The following returns al of the entries: local detected , visible , lastTime , type , distance , lastPos , lastVel = uCon:isTargetDetected(target) To output a list of how the aircraft is detecting the target as a message: local con = Unit.getController(Unit.getByName('whatever')) local target = Unit.getByName('target') local m = {} for det, enum in pairs(Controller.Detection) do m[#m+1] = det .. " : " m[#m+1] = tostring(con:isTargetDetected(target, enum)) m[#m+1] = "\n" end trigger.action.outText(table.concat(m), 20, true)
