Hello Hartog,
well spotted. Nice domain for the example, I like it a lot.
What happens with the sequence is that, well, it executes in sequence, so you
have to put the flanks first. I could force any expressions with flanking
children to grab them and apply them first, but for now I prefer going the
simplest way.
---8<---
repeat do
alpha_platoon :task => 'main push'
over :if => '${success}'
commit_reserve :if => '${reserve_available}'
commit_help_unit :if => '${help_available}', :flank => true
over :if => '${failure}'
end
--->8---
In this [contrived] example, help units could come in and "flank", one at a
time, ending with more than one flank.
Let's try to solve your issue by using concurrence:
---8<---
concurrence do
1st_ork_platoon :task => "attack gates through valley"
archers :task => "setup positions in hills", :flank => true
2nd_ork_platoon :task => "lay low behind hills", :flank => true
warg_riders :task => "circle compound, attack rear", :flank => true
end
--->8---
This concurrence would be over as soon as the 1st platoon is over with its
task. Flanks would be cancelled at that point.
It's close to the initial
---8<---
concurrence :count => 1 do
1st_ork_platoon :task => "attack gates through valley"
archers :task => "setup positions in hills", :lose => true
2nd_ork_platoon :task => "lay low behind hills", :lose => true
warg_riders :task => "circle compound, attack rear", :lose => true
end
--->8---
So I'm not that successful with the introduction of 'flank'...
---8<---
sequence do
# Flanks
archers :task => "setup positions in hills", :flank => true
2nd_ork_platoon :task => "lay low behind hills", :flank => true
warg_riders :task => "circle compound, attack rear", :flank => true
# Schwerpunkt
1st_ork_platoon :task => "attack gates through valley"
end
--->8---
You're right, I'm forcing a potentially non-natural ordering. I think
concurrence + flank, doesn't look to bad (at least it removes the :count).
What do you think ?
