Task:	Bombing		Added with: 1.2.4
Hierarchy:	Scripting Root > Tasks > Main task > Bombing
Tasking Type:	Main task
For:	Airplanes, Helicopters
Available Under:
Description:	Assigns a point on the ground for which the AI will attack. Best used for discriminant carpet bombing of a target or having a GBU hit a specific point on the map.
Format:	This task needs to be in the following format. Bombing = { id = 'Bombing', params = { point = Vec2, weaponType = number, expend = enum AI.Task.WeaponExpend, attackQty = number, attackQtyLimit = boolean, direction = Azimuth, groupAttack = boolean, altitude = number altitudeEnabled = boolean, } } 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. altitude: Number in meters at which you want the aircraft to engage from altitudeEnabled: Boolean value for whether or not the altitude check applies
Enumerators:	weaponType is a number associated with a correspond weapons flags AI.Task.WeaponExpend "QUARTER" = "Quarter" "TWO" = "Two" "ONE" = "One" "FOUR" = "Four" "HALF" = "Half" "ALL" = "All"
Examples:	The following will make the group "droneyTheDrone" destroy a bridge with a pair of guided bombs. local target = {} target.point = {x = trigger.misc.getZone('bridge').point.x, y = trigger.misc.getZone('bridge').point.z} target.expend = "Two" target.weaponType = 14 target.attackQty = 1 local engage = {id = 'Bombing', params = target} Group.getByName('droneyTheDrone'):getController():setTask(engage)
Notes:	See article Mission Editor: AI Tasking for more information on how AI tasking is handled within DCS.
