Envrioment: Mission Scripting
Function: getResourceMap Added with: 2.8.8
Member Of: Airbase
Syntax: table Airbase.getResourceMap(Class self )
Description: Returns the wsType of every object that exists in DCS. A wsType is a table consisting of 4 entries indexed numerically. It can be used to broadly categorize object types. The table can be broken down as: {mainCategory, subCat1, subCat2, index}

A vague breakdown of the wsTypes:

  1 : Aircraft
     1: Airplanes
         1: Fighters
         2: Fast Bombers
         3: Interceptors
         4: Bombers
         5: Misc support
         6: Attack 
     2: Helicopters
  2 : Vehicles
  3 : Ships
  4 : Weapons


For example all 3 A-10 aircraft in game will have a wsType of {1, 1, 6, n} where n is whichever index the unit happens to be in.

There are several items that have a wsType of {0, 0, 0, 0}. Typically these include shells, static objects, and turrets.


Return Value: table
Return Example: A table indexed by string of the object name containing the wsType table associated with the object.

  ["S-60_Type59_Artillery"] = { [1] = 2, [2] = 16, [3] = 26, [4] = 259, }, 
  ["Daimler_AC"] = { [1] = 2, [2] = 17, [3] = 26, [4] = 7, }, 
  ["weapons.shells.KDA_35_FAPDS"] = { [1] = 0, [2] = 0, [3] = 0, [4] = 0, }, 
  ["weapons.missiles.P_24T"] = { [1] = 4, [2] = 4, [3] = 7, [4] = 26,
