Tool_LOS_Points ( from, to, type)

This function returns the status of the LOS check between the points defined by 'from' and 'to'.
The type of check can be for radar, EO/IR or ESM.

Parameters

  • from { }
    • altitude = number or string Altitude of the from location. The keyword can be shortened to 'alt = '.
    • latitude = number or string Latitude of the from location
    • longitude = number or string Longitude of the from location
  • to { }
    • altitude = number or string Altitude of the to location. The keyword can be shortened to 'alt = '.
    • latitude = number or string Latitude of the to location
    • longitude = number or string Longitude of the to location
  • type valueRadar = 0
    EO/IR = 1
    ESM = 2     The type of 'horizon'.

FAIL_BEYONDHORIZON
FAIL_TERRAINBLOCK

Example
local los = Tool_LOS_Points( {latitude='3', longitude='3', alt=3000}, {latitude='9', longitude='9', alt=3000}, 1)
if type(los) == 'boolean' then
print(string.format('Line of sight to target = %s', los) )
else
print(string.format('Distance to horizon = %.2f NM', los) )
end
Line of sight to target = true
