Working with task ID's

[iV - Ghost 50]

I'm not sure how to create my question...

 

 

What I wanna do:

I wanna spawn my own created tasks via script. Every task has his own file (Girna_T1.sqf, ...).

The objects, markers and units are created in the 3den editor and by ALiVE.

Till now I have 11 files. My XXX.sqf's look approximately like this:

 

// CHECK SERVER
if (!isServer) exitWith {};



// VARIABLES
iV_taskAssigned = format [localize "STR_iV_TaskAssigned", localize "STR_iV_TaskTitle_ComSystems"];
iV_taskSucceeded = format [localize "STR_iV_TaskSucceeded", localize "STR_iV_TaskTitle_ComSystems"];
iV_taskFailed = format [localize "STR_iV_TaskFailed", localize "STR_iV_TaskTitle_ComSystems"];



// TIMEOUT
sleep 3;



// CREATE TASK, ASSIGN AND SET STATE
if (alive ([5251, 5027] nearestObject 32009) && alive ([5251, 5027] nearestObject 31966) && alive ([5251, 5027] nearestObject 31939)) then {
    
    // CREATE TASK
    [west,                                                                                                                      // 0: Task owner(s)
    ["Mike26_T2"],                                                                                                              // 1: Task name [task name, parent task name]
    [localize "STR_iV_TaskDesc_ComSystems", localize "STR_iV_TaskTitle_ComSystems", "Marker_Mike26_3"],                         // 2: Task description ["description", "title", "marker"]
    "Marker_Mike26_3",                                                                                                          // 3: Task destination
    false,                                                                                                                      // 4: Task state (or true to set as current)
    3,                                                                                                                          // 5: Task priority (Higher priority is selected first)
    false,                                                                                                                      // 6: Show notification (default: true)
    "destroy",                                                                                                                  // 7: Task type as defined in the CfgTaskTypes
    true                                                                                                                        // 8: Shared (default: false)
    ] call BIS_fnc_taskCreate;
	
	
    // ASSIGN TASK
    assignedTask = true;
    publicVariable "assignedTask";

    ["TaskAssigned", ["", iV_taskAssigned]] call BIS_fnc_showNotification;
	
	
    // TRIGGER FOR SUCCEEDED END
    _triggerSucceeded = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", [5251, 5027, 0], true];
    _triggerSucceeded setTriggerArea [0, 0, 0, false, 0];
    _triggerSucceeded setTriggerActivation ["NONE", "", false];
    _triggerSucceeded setTriggerTimeout [8, 8, 8, false];
    _triggerSucceeded setTriggerType "NONE";
    _triggerSucceeded setTriggerStatements [
	
	// CONDITIONS
        "!alive ([5251, 5027] nearestObject 32009) && !alive ([5251, 5027] nearestObject 31966) && !alive ([5251, 5027] nearestObject 31939)",
		
		
	// ON ACTIVATION
	"['Mike26_T2', 'Succeeded', false] call BIS_fnc_taskSetState;
	['TaskSucceeded', ['', iV_taskSucceeded]] call BIS_fnc_showNotification;
	
	assignedTask = false;
	publicVariable 'assignedTask';",
		
		
	// ON DEACTIVATION
	""
		
    ];
	
} else {

    hint localize "STR_iV_TaskNotAvailable";
	
    assignedTask = false;
    publicVariable "assignedTask";
	
};

 

I wanna make all with localize & stringtable so I can make original (english), english and german.

 

 

 

My problem:

Till now my biggest problem is that every time I created more than one task

my iV_taskSucceeded will be overwritten from the latest XXX.sqf and the notification is wrong.

I'm no good coder and I can't get it working. I try now for hours.

 

Has somebody an idea how to fix that?

Make your variables local. Add _ in front of them, like so:

_iV_taskAssigned
_iV_taskSucceeded
_iV_taskFailed

 

[iV - Ghost 50]

This is a way I've tried too.

My notification is then only "any" and not "The task "1%" is completed."

[HazJ 1289]

This is all done in the same file, correct?

 

EDIT: Sorry, I just realised you are setting that inside a trigger on act.

 

Change iV_taskSucceeded in the on act part to:

['TaskSucceeded', ['', format [localize ""STR_iV_TaskSucceeded"", localize ""STR_iV_TaskTitle_ComSystems""]]] call BIS_fnc_showNotification;

Why are you using format with just strings? Usually you'd have it return something like so:

format ["Name: %1", name player];

 

[iV - Ghost 50]

I had hoped we can connect all with a unique taskID which were defined in the top of every XXX.sqf.

And in the createTask and the Trigger should only be the placeholder that grab the conditions from the XXX.sqf.

In the best case the trigger should be spawned by a seperate file (..\functions\iV_fnc_spawnTrigger.sqf) so we can reduce the filesize.

 

Maybe something like this:

_taskID = "CampRogain_T1";
_taskAO = "CampRogain";

_taskMarker = format ["Marker_%1", _taskAO];
_taskType = "documents";
_createTaskConditions = "alive Info1_CampRogain";

_createSucceededTriggerConditions =

...


// CREATE TASK, ASSIGN AND SET STATE
if (_createTaskConditions) then {
    
	// CREATE TASK
    [west, ["_taskID"], "_taskMarker", false, 3, false, "_taskType", true] call BIS_fnc_taskCreate;

...

 

[iV - Ghost 50]

Now I'am working with a taskID.

 

Example (Kamino_T1.sqf):

// CHECK SERVER
if (!isServer) exitWith {};



// VARIABLES
private ["_taskID", "_taskMarker", "_taskTitle", "_taskDescription", "_taskMarkerType"];

_taskID = "Kamino_T1";
_taskMarker = "Marker_Kamino_1";
_taskTitle = format [localize "STR_iV_TaskTitle_ComSystem", localize "STR_iV_Kamino"];
_taskDescription = localize "STR_iV_TaskDesc_ComSystem";
_taskMarkerType = "destroy";



// TIMEOUT
sleep 3;



// CREATE TASK, ASSIGN AND SET STATE
if (alive ([6438, 5347] nearestObject 29623)) then {
	
    // CREATE TASK
    [west, [_taskID], [_taskDescription, _taskTitle, _taskMarker], _taskMarker, false, 3, false, _taskMarkerType, true] call BIS_fnc_taskCreate;
	
	
    // ASSIGN TASK
    assignedTask = true;
    publicVariable "assignedTask";
	
    ["TaskAssigned", ["", _taskTitle]] call BIS_fnc_showNotification;
	
	
    // TRIGGER FOR SUCCEEDED END
    _triggerSucceeded = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", [6438, 5347, 0], true];
    _triggerSucceeded setTriggerArea [0, 0, 0, false, 0];
    _triggerSucceeded setTriggerActivation ["NONE", "", false];
    _triggerSucceeded setTriggerTimeout [8, 8, 8, false];
    _triggerSucceeded setTriggerType "NONE";
    _triggerSucceeded setTriggerStatements [
	
        // CONDITIONS
        "!alive ([6438, 5347] nearestObject 29623)",
		
		
	// ON ACTIVATION
	"['Kamino_T1', 'Succeeded', false] call BIS_fnc_taskSetState;
	['TaskSucceeded', ['', format [localize ""STR_iV_TaskSucceeded_ComSystem"", localize ""STR_iV_TaskTitle_atKamino""]]] call BIS_fnc_showNotification;
	
	assignedTask = false;
	publicVariable 'assignedTask';",
		
		
        // ON DEACTIVATION
	""
		
    ];
	
} else {

    hint localize "STR_iV_TaskNotAvailable";
	
};

 

And the part from the stringtable.xml looks like this:

	    <Key ID="STR_iV_TaskTitle_ComSystem">
		<Original>%1 - Radio tower</Original>
		<English>%1 - Radio tower</English>
		<German>%1 - Sendeturm</German>
	    </Key>
		
	    <Key ID="STR_iV_TaskDesc_ComSystem">
		<Original>There is a communication system in the area of operations (AO).<br/>Find and destroy them for us.</Original>
		<English>There is a communication system in the area of operations (AO).<br/>Find and destroy them for us.</English>
		<German>Im Einsatzgebiet (AO) befindet sich eine Kommunikationsanlage.<br/>Finden und zerstören Sie sie für uns.</German>
	    </Key>
		
	    <Key ID="STR_iV_TaskSucceeded_ComSystem">
		<Original>The radio tower %1 was destroyed.</Original>
		<English>The radio tower %1 was destroyed.</English>
		<German>Der Sendeturm %1 wurde zerstört.</German>
	    </Key>
		
	    <Key ID="STR_iV_atKamino">
		<Original>at Kamino</Original>
		<English>at Kamino</English>
		<German>bei Kamino</German>
	    </Key>

 

 

My problem:

The notificazion is still not right. Lokks like he don't use format in the trigger.

 

The notification is exact:           "The radio tower  was destroyed."

but should be:                             "The radio tower at Kamino was destroyed."
