Help needed updating missionTasks marker position

[stayfrosty24 10]

Hello guys,

I'm trying to create a task where the player must enter a vehicle. The only problem is to update the task marker position.

I want to do this by script and not in the editor. See the code below, i think there is a simple solution for this problem someting like a while loop but i can't seem to figure this one out!

Any help would be much appreciated.

I have a MRAP called B_MRAP_1 and it's driving to a location where the player must get in.

But when i call the task the marker is placed on the location where the MRAP is driving on that time and it does not update.

missionTasks.sqf

case "task1" :
{
if (_taskState == "") then
{
	[
		player,
		_taskID,
		[
			"Get in the MRAP",
			"Get in",
			"GET IN"
		],
			[color="#FF0000"][b]getPos B_MRAP_1[/b][/color],
			true
	] call BIS_fnc_taskCreate;
};
};

Kind regards,

Have you tried setSimpleTaskTarget?

[
	player,
	task01,
	["Get in the MRAP", "Get in", "GET IN"],
	getPos B_MRAP_1,
	true
] call BIS_fnc_taskCreate;

task01 setSimpleTaskTarget [B_MRAP_1, true];

If it doesn't attach to your target, you can try:
 

0 spawn { // use this if you are not using execVM or spawn
	while {true} do {
		task01 setSimpleTaskTarget [B_MRAP_1, true];
		sleep 1;
	};
};

Icaruk,

 

Thanks for your reply, i tested it but it didn't work.

Have you tried it yourself? Can you let me know if it worked.

I have no time to test it for myself, sorry.

I think that setSimpleTaskTarget is just for simple tasks (lol). You can try to create a simple task instead BIS_fnc_taskCreate.

Icaruk,

 

Fair enough, i will give it a try.

Thanks for the help.

Try to enter the object itself (and not its position) as destination for BIS_fnc_taskCreate.

If I remember correctly BIS_fnc_taskCreate is using - depending on the type of the destination argument - setSimpleTaskTarget (object) or setSimpleTaskDestination (position) internally.

i.e.

[
	player,
	_taskID,
	[
		"Get in the MRAP",
		"Get in",
		"GET IN"
	],
	B_MRAP_1,
	true
] call BIS_fnc_taskCreate;

Master85,

 

Thank you very much! That did the trick.
