            GAM Clockfacing Report
                   v1.0RC2

DESCRIPTION:

This addon adds clockfacing target calling to the units, and gives you the possibility to ask for more information on the target.

                    *****

In order to avoid redundancy this addon disables original Arma 2 target reporting from the base Radio messages, in fact those lead to some confusion since they were either too general or ambigous. Information was given in relation to what position? The emmiter of the message? The receiver? The formation core?

This addon makes those clock directions always in relation to the player.

As an extra it adds a menu option to ask for a more detailed report on a target (the one under your cursor or current inquired unit main threat).

Unit inquired counts the number of close together enemies and estimates the range of the main target in 10's of meters, it ultimately gives the compass bearing in unit degrees (in this case relative to itself), this with a delay of 2 seconds to simulate the time to estimate results.

FEATURES:

- Units in your group call enemies a la Operation Arrowhead
	Clock Directions
	Visual signaling (red circle)

- Units give you extra information on demand (Fkey > 5 > 9)
	Number of elements
	Distance (10s meters)
	Exact Bearing (degrees)
	Visual signaling (red circle)

                    *****

USAGE:

Clockfacing directions will be used by any common unit in your group once installed.

On-demand detailed report may be accessed with the shortcut sequence:

     > F#      > 5      > 9
     (unit)    (Status) (Report target)


                    *****
