      class DJIMissionControl

      @interface DJIMissionControl : NSObject <DJIMissionControlTimelineElementFeedback>
      Header:DJIMissionControl.h
      Inherits From:NSObject
      Description:

      Mission Control handles execution of missions. Either single missions can be run through dedicated mission operators, or a series of missions and actions can be run serially using the Timeline.

      Mission operators look after execution of a single mission. A mission operator has APIs to control the mission (e.g. start, stop, pause etc.) and provides mission state through listeners.

      Mission Control's Timeline is made up of a series of Timeline elements which can be Waypoint missions, Hotpoint missions (through the Hotpoint action DJIHotpointAction) or objects that follow the DJIMissionControlTimelineElement protocol. DJIMissionAction is a Timeline element, with DJIAircraftYawAction and DJIGimbalAttitudeAction subclasses being examples of specific actions. If a mission is being executed in a Timeline, the mission operator can still be used to get state information of the mission as well as change mission execution parameters.

      Timeline elements can also have triggers (DJIMissionTrigger) associated with them. Triggers are separate objects that are run in parallel with a Timeline element. The trigger object is used to initiate actions if a set of criteria are met. For example, a trigger could be used to monitor battery level, and then initiate an action once a threshold is passed. Mission Control's Timeline is only supported by aircrafts. Handheld devices (e.g. OSMO) do not support this feature.

      The listening mechanism for Mission Control is block based. To listen to an event, a listener object and a block to execute when the event occurs is passed to Mission Control. The listener object is only used by Mission Control to keep track of whether it should execute the listener block or not. Mission Control would not execute the listener block if the listener object was removed from the listener pool.

      Mission Control is accessed from missionControl in DJISDKManager.

      Description:

      Required behavior of elements that run in a Timeline.

      In addition to implementing this behavior, a Timeline element must communicate with Mission Control to let it know its state.

      Description:

      Sets the time you want to delay before element execution which is used for asynchronous processing scenarios. For example, if you want to execute DJIGimbalAttitudeAction after DJIShootPhotoAction, you should set delay time in DJIGimbalAttitudeAction. Because it takes 1 to 2 seconds to take a photo, the gimbal's commands will not be responded during this period, so we need to delay 2 seconds before turning the gimbal to ensure that the gimbal movement is executed correctly.
