| Description:
|
The world singleton contains functions centered around two different but extremely useful functions.
1. Events and event handlers are all governed within world.
Event Types: shot, hit, takeoff, land, crash, ejection, refueling, dead, pilot_dead, base_captured, mission_start, mission_end, took_control, refueling_stop, birth, human_failure, detailed_failure, engine_startup, engine_shutdown, player_enter_unit, player_leave_unit, player_comment, shooting_start, shooting_end, mark_added, mark_change, mark_remove, kill, score, unit_lost, landing_after_ejection, discard_chair_after_ejection, weapon_add, landing_quality_mark, ai_abort_mission, weapon_drop, runway_takeoff, runway_touch,
2. A number of functions to get information about the game world.
2A. In DCS 2.9.10 a few functions governing fog were added to a weather table within the world singleton. These functions currently control and get information on fog in mission.
