Task to task if one before is completed.

[Yeti1 1]

Hi all, I have been browsing various posts but I can't get this to work at all.

I have a set of tasks across the map and I want them to trigger in order so I tried to use this in my condition box for the trigger that starts Task6b..

taskState tskTask5b == "SUCCEEDED";

This does not work and the next task wont start, I need it to only work when task5b has been completed.

Task5b has this in the init..

tskTask5b setTaskState "SUCCEEDED";
tskTask6b = Player createSimpleTask["Task6b"]; 
tskTask6b setSimpleTaskDescription["Check this area.", "Check Here", "Move"];
tskTask6b setSimpleTaskDestination (getMarkerPos "M1task6b");
Player setCurrentTask tskTask6b;

What am I doing wrong ?

Triggers don't need the ; end. Also I'd put the whole thing in brackets.

((taskState tskTask5b) == "Succeeded")

As for the rest of it, I can't piece together what it's supposed to do.

Why do you set task 5 to succeeded immediately? - Since you say it's an init field.

I want the trigger to check if task5b has been completed before activating task6b.

I do this so the trigger doesn't activate if the player goes across it before doing task5b, task5b was the last task then it starts task6b.

Edit: I tried putting that line in the condition box but it still wont start the next task.

Lets say it's task1 and I only want task2 to start when task1 is complete, what would I put in the condition box of the trigger to check task1 has been completed ?

Also: when I tried copying what you did and created a radio trigger with the following on activation:

hint (taskState tskTask5b)

It returns "Assigned". Check whether this is the case with your mission?

The next task is assigned as it pops a hint ... (sorry missed last line on my Original Post)

tskTask5b setTaskState "SUCCEEDED";
tskTask6b = Player createSimpleTask["Task6b"]; 
tskTask6b setSimpleTaskDescription["Check this area.", "Check Here", "Move"];
tskTask6b setSimpleTaskDestination (getMarkerPos "M1task6b");
Player setCurrentTask tskTask6b;
Hint "Take Lee to the Airfield"

The Hint comes up and it even puts a cursor on the hud of the location to move to.

I just need to know what to put in the condition box so it will only work if the last task is complete.

Aww what a doofus I am, when I was testing it I started before it initiated task5 so it could never be completed, it works perfect with that line you gave me thanks.
