|type= Main task

|for= Airplanes, Helicopters

|desc= Assigns a point on the ground for which the AI will do a strafing run with guns or rockets.

|avail=

|form= This task needs to be in the following format.

Strafing= {
id = 'Strafing',
params = {
point = Vec2,
weaponType = number,
expend = enum AI.Task.WeaponExpend,
attackQty = number,
attackQtyLimit = boolean,
direction = Azimuth,
directionEnabled = boolean,
groupAttack = boolean,
length = number,
}
}

'''Required parameters''':
point: vec2 coordinate of the target. Can also be an x and y values directly in params table.

attackQty: Number of times the group will attack if the target.

'''Optional Parameters''':
All other variables are optional. Some variables require other entries, for example the boolean values require the corresponding value if the boolean is true.

expend: Enum that defines how much munitions the AI will expend per attack run.

attackQtyLimit: boolean that defines whether or not the attackQty value will be used.

groupAttack: If true then each aircraft in the group will attack the point.

length: The total length of the strafing target.

|enum= weaponType is a number associated with a correspond [[DCS_enum_weapon_flag|weapons flags]]

{{Template:DCS_enum_AI_expend_list}}

|exam= The following will make the group "dakka" do a strafing run on a target with a quarter of its rockets.

local target = {}
local zone = trigger.misc.getZone("targetPractice")
target.point = {x = zone.point.x, y = zone.point.z}
target.expend = "Quarter"
target.weaponType = 30720
target.attackQty = 1
local engage = {id = 'Strafing', params = target}
Group.getByName('dakka'):getController():setTask(engage)
