VComm DIS/HLA Entity Attach

ID:  2017

Object Description

The VComm DIS/HLA Entity Attach object can be used in conjunction with VComm Radio Objects. It is a mechanism that attaches a radio to an entity by searching the network for an entity ID which matches the one that is setup in the radio static data, reads the X,Y,Z world location of the entity, and sets the radio antenna position to that location. The location of the entity overrides the location connected to the radio pins. If the radio cannot find an entity on the network matching the specified ID, the antenna location will be the location specified on the input pins of the radio.

To use the object, simply connect the output handle of a radio/intercom object to the radio handle input of this object.

Input Pin

The input pin determines which radio is affected by this object.
