VComm Max Range

ID:  2091

Object Description

The VComm Max Range object can be used in conjunction with VComm Radio Objects to accept an input for slant range expressed in units meters. This value will be compared against the actual slant range between a transmitter/receiver pair. If the actual range is greater than the range provided to the Maximum Range object, the transmitter and receiver will be processed as though they unable to communicate with each other. This object is typically used in conjunction with the VComm Min Range object.

To use the object, simply connect the radio handle output of a radio/intercom object to the radio handle input of this object. The data that is present on the input pins is applied to the radio object to which it is attached.

Input Pins

Handle

Radio Handle from either the VComm GENERIC Radio, V8 DIS Only or the VComm GENERIC Radio, V8 DIS/HLA.

Max Range

The Max Range pin is used to set the maximum range in units meters for the radio modeling. It accepts any floating point number greater than or equal to 1.

Example

In this example, a VComm GENERIC Radio is connected to a VComm Max Range object and the minimum range is set to 1,000,000 meters.
