5 concurrent tasks

[fasterthanlight 10]

Here is what I have for my briefing;

Task1 = player createSimpleTask ["Neutralize suspected AA site 1"];

Task1 setSimpleTaskDestination (getMarkerPos "aatung1");

Task2 = player createSimpleTask ["Neutralize suspected AA site 2"];

Task2 setSimpleTaskDestination (getMarkerPos "aatung2");

Task3 = player createSimpleTask ["Neutralize suspected AA site 3"];

Task3 setSimpleTaskDestination (getMarkerPos "aatung3");

Task4 = player createSimpleTask ["Neutralize suspected AA site 4"];

Task4 setSimpleTaskDestination (getMarkerPos "aatung4");

Task5 = player createSimpleTask ["Neutralize suspected AA site 5"];

Task5 setSimpleTaskDestination (getMarkerPos "aatung5");

What is needed for each task to complete?

and

What is needed for a trigger to sense all are done, and end the game?

I use this to fail a task in a trigger

"1" objstatus "FAILED"; tskobj_1 settaskstate "FAILED"; tskobj_1 = TRUE; publicVariable "obj_1";

and this to complete a task

"1" objstatus "DONE"; tskobj_1 settaskstate "SUCCEEDED"; tskobj_1 = true; publicVariable "obj_1";

Just change the numbers for the tasks you need for each task.

Have each task set to a trigger and name the trigger, like task1, task2 and task 3, then have another trigger set to end the mission with the Condition of

TriggerActivated task1 AND TriggerActivated task2 AND TriggerActivated task3, so the end trigger will only activated once all the other task triggers have been completed

I'm not sure what has to be changed where.

in task trigger named Task1;

Activation of OPFOR NOT PRESENT

or

!alive tung1

On Activation field;

"1" objstatus "DONE"; tskobj_1 settaskstate "SUCCEEDED"; tskobj_1 = true; publicVariable "obj_1";

??

[Koni 3]

To create a task use this

tskobj_1 = player createSimpleTask ["Whatever you want here"];

tskobj_1 setSimpleTaskDescription ["Whatever you want here.", "Task name", "Task name"];

tskobj_1 setSimpleTaskDestination (getMarkerPos "markername");

I'd set it to

Activation = Anybody - Present

Condition = !alive tung1

On Activation = "1" objstatus "DONE"; tskobj_1 settaskstate "SUCCEEDED"; tskobj_1 = true; publicVariable "obj_1";

There is already a thread on this check here:

"1" objstatus "DONE"; is ancient OFP code and has no purpose with ArmA2's task system.

Here's an ArmA2 task demo.

I went back and had to use !alive tung1 for each of the 5 tasks. Thanks all.

You shouldn't need to check that tung1 is dead in all your tasks, just have the task that needs tung1 dead to be signed off completed.

I'll have a look at that task order for Arma2 Kylania, just always used the old OFP code, which works well.

Here's a proper ArmA2 tasks demo mission for destroying 5 Tunguskas.

I updated this mission to also include the Ambient Civilian Module and the "if you kill more than 2 civies the game ends" type trigger.
