DCS func getRunways

Scripting Root

Envrioment:	Mission Scripting
Function:	getRunways		Added with: 2.7.0
Member Of:	Airbase
Syntax:	table Airbase.getRunways(Class Self )
Description:	Returns a table with runway information like length, width, course, and Name. position: Returns the center of the runway width: width of the runway in meters Name: runway name, can be off course: bearing in radians. Multiply by -1 to make it useful
Return Value:	table
Return Example:	Return example for Creech AFB on the NTTR map: { [1] = { ["course"] = -1.597741484642, ["Name"] = 8, ["position"] = { ["y"] = 952.94458007813, ["x"] = -360507.1875, ["z"] = -75590.0703125, }, ["length"] = 1859.3155517578, ["width"] = 60, }, [2] = { ["course"] = -2.5331676006317, ["Name"] = 26, ["position"] = { ["y"] = 952.94458007813, ["x"] = -359739.875, ["z"] = -75289.5078125, }, ["length"] = 1859.3155517578, ["width"] = 60, }, }
Examples:	The following will iterate all airbases on the map and draw a gray box around each runway. local base = world.getAirbases() local mId = 0 for i = 1, #base do local rny = base[i]:getRunways() if rny then for j = 1, #rny do local points = {} local init = rny[j].position local bearing = rny[j].course * -1 local L2 = rny[j].length/2 local offset1 = {y = 0, x = init.x + (math.cos(bearing + math.pi) * L2), z = init.z + (math.sin(bearing + math.pi) * L2)} local offset2 = {y = 0, x = init.x - (math.cos(bearing + math.pi) * L2), z = init.z - (math.sin(bearing + math.pi) * L2)} local width = rny[j].width/2 points[1] = {x = offset1.x + (math.cos(bearing + (math.pi/2)) * width), y = 0, z = offset1.z + (math.sin(bearing + (math.pi/2)) * width)} points[2] = {x = offset1.x + (math.cos(bearing - (math.pi/2)) * width), y = 0, z = offset1.z + (math.sin(bearing - (math.pi/2)) * width)} points[3] = {x = offset2.x + (math.cos(bearing - (math.pi/2)) * width), y = 0, z = offset2.z + (math.sin(bearing - (math.pi/2)) * width)} points[4] = {x = offset2.x + (math.cos(bearing + (math.pi/2)) * width), y = 0, z = offset2.z + (math.sin(bearing + (math.pi/2)) * width)} mId = mId + 1 trigger.action.quadToAll(-1, mId, points[1], points[2], points[3], points[4], {0, 0, 0, 1}, {0, 0, 0, .5}, 3) end end end
