Engima's Simple Tasks Script Release

[B00Ts-SA 0]

Yo, how do you set the task destination?

 

["MoveToRoad", "Move to road.", "CREATED", getMarkerPos "road_marker"] as it says in the documentation does not work.

 

I get some kind of "undefined variable in expression" error.

Maybe something changed with the latest Arma updates.

Getting the same as Mojo_Dog. Thank you for the the script :)

Thank you for been so quick. Will test and keep you updated :)

download links arent working, and i would like to check this out.

Nice!

 

Maybe you can add the possibility to create a task only for person x or side y.

This might be good for TvT or COOP.

 

This will come handy. Will you consider this as future feature?

Hi, could use a little help with this, I can't seem to figure it out.

 

I'm trying to run this from init.sqf, to check if the MoveToRoad task has succeeded, and if it has, end the mission for everyone.

I hope I'm on the right track, however with the code below I get an error, missing ;

so I guess my format is off ?

 

Edit: Argh! Figured it out, I forgot to wrap the contents of the while loop in {};

[] spawn
    {
            while {true} do
           {
            _state = ["MoveToRoad"] call ENGTASKS_GetTaskState;
            if (_state == "SUCCEEDED") then {"end1" remoteExec ["BIS_fnc_endMission",0,true];};
            sleep 5;
           };
    };

anyone can post another link, I'm not able to download from armaholic. Thx

Got to say this is an amazing script, great work man and really thanks!

 

If I might suggest something or if some one know how to help me out that would be making the task status pending on the side, like I'm currently making a two sided mission where tasks will be generated for both sides but I only want to say success on one side and fail on the other side depending on who finish the task first ^^ But yea I'd highly recommend adding some way to make it sideable.

 

Cheers other wise, great work!

Download link on Armaholic.com is working. It was maybe temporary down. However, you can also get it here: http://typesqf.no-ip.org/cpack/details/Engima.SimpleTasks, if you download the TypeSqf Editor from the same page.

This script was exactly what I needed to add in a task-system for my sandbox missions.

[Mordacai 38]

Any possibility to use this for SP mission making?

OMG, proper task scripting for use on dedicated w/ JIPS is my biggest headache.  This looks like an easier tool to learn how to use!  Thanks for sharing!

Should be no problem. Use the same way as in MP.

I think you had syntax error in the initial task array. A common problem seems to be to remember to check the commas between the initial task items. An item on each line means that all lines *except the last line* must end with comma. Your loop solves that problem.

[Atlas1205 14]

I used a while - do loop, caused the tasks to be created like crazy.

Hey enigma, love the script!  Do you know if the 64-bit ArmA going to break it?

Cool, thanks!

I think it's ok. But since the Task Overhaul a while ago there may have been a few minor changes in behavior. In that case it is concerning task position (ENGTASKS_setTaskPosition) and the precisePosition parameter when setting task target. But I'm not sure yet, but I will check.

[Atlas1205 14]

confirmed that settasktarget is not working correctly.

I was just about to implement Engima's Simple Tasks 2.0. I planned it should be backward compatible and add features like different task icons and a possibility to set different task owners.

 

Then I realized that all this is already in the game since the "task overhaul" a year ago.

 

So does anyone think that there is a need for a new version, or should I drop it? (I have not tested the Bohemia solution yet).

I've been using BIS task since, but writing its params is boring...
