## Usage
### modify wind and waves
in the ocean.world.xacro you have
```xml
<!--Waves-->
<xacro:include filename="$(find wave_gazebo)/world_models/ocean_waves/model.xacro"/>
<xacro:ocean_waves gain="0.0" period="5" direction_x="-1.0" direction_y="0.0" angle="0.0"/>
in the ocean.world.xacro you have
```xml
<!--Waves-->
<xacro:include filename="$(find wave_gazebo)/world_models/ocean_waves/model.xacro"/>
<xacro:ocean_waves gain="0.0" period="5" direction_x="-1.0" direction_y="0.0" angle="0.0"/>
<!--Wind for the WAM-V. Note, wind parameters are set in the plug.-->
<xacro:include filename="$(find vrx_gazebo)/worlds/xacros/usv_wind_plugin.xacro"/>
<xacro:usv_wind_gazebo direction="90" mean_vel="0" var_gain="5" var_time="1">
<wind_objs>
<wind_obj>
<name>wamv</name>
<link_name>base_link</link_name>
<coeff_vector>0.5 0.5 0.33</coeff_vector>
</wind_obj>
</wind_objs>
</xacro:usv_wind_gazebo>
```
it is configured to have no waves and no wind, also the wind and the waves move in the same direction, to activate wind and waves change the "mean_vel" and "gain" parameters respectively (recomended values are smaller than 1.0).
<!--Wind for the WAM-V. Note, wind parameters are set in the plug.-->
<xacro:include filename="$(find vrx_gazebo)/worlds/xacros/usv_wind_plugin.xacro"/>
<xacro:usv_wind_gazebo direction="90" mean_vel="0" var_gain="5" var_time="1">
<wind_objs>
<wind_obj>
<name>wamv</name>
<link_name>base_link</link_name>
<coeff_vector>0.5 0.5 0.33</coeff_vector>
</wind_obj>
</wind_objs>
</xacro:usv_wind_gazebo>
```
it is configured to have no waves and no wind, also the wind and the waves move in the same direction, to activate wind and waves change the "mean_vel" and "gain" parameters respectively (recomended values are smaller than 1.0)
### run
in the workspace run the command at the beginning (and every time you change a parameter)
```bash
catkin_make
```
```bash
catkin_make
```
then launch the file you created
```bash
roslaunch vrx_gazebo name.launch
```
```bash
roslaunch vrx_gazebo name.launch
```
