black_hawk_mw2_87 74 Posted November 9, 2018 Hello, everyone! I have played missions with such tasks. For example: the player can finish a main task, shown above the others, when 2 or more other side/secondary tasks are completed. My simple example: -> Main Task: Survive - Kill The Officer - Destroy Tank When I kill the officer and destroy the enemy tank, I have completed these side/secondary tasks, and with that the main task: Survive, is also completed. Is this some special script that should be used or just placing down any modules in the Eden editor? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankbuster 1746 Posted November 9, 2018 My mission follows this form. There may be modules that allow this design, but I achieve it in scripts. It's not very complex, but it can be long winded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pierremgi 4862 Posted November 9, 2018 Both works. Tasks module and triggers or scripts. You can mix both. I recently tested a randomization for enemies position, then a "task module teleportation". It's OK. So, you have choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

black_hawk_mw2_87 74 Posted November 9, 2018 Thank you for the answers, but I still don't get it. It looks so complicated to me... Would you place a little example of a script with different MAIN and SECONDARY tasks and tell me where to put it? I guess in the init.sqf file, but you'd better tell me. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
black_hawk_mw2_87 74 Posted November 9, 2018 This is how I want it to work: -> Main Task: Destroy CSAT base - Destroy AA Guns - Destroy Arty When I destroy both AA and Arty, these 2 subtasks are completed. And the main task will be completed, too. All I am asking for is an example of how to do it. Some script or the mix of a script + the task modules. I know pretty much about normal tasks creation, but I want to try this way as well. Would you help me with that? :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway, following his teachings, I'm gonna get you a small example on Parent/child tasks by script.I used it in my GHOST RECON WILDLANDS campaign, with 3 different parents tasks and more than 20 child tasks...all without triggers or modules. //make sure these 3 are identical inside the _makeTaskN arrays _myTaskIDs = ["Task01","Task02","Task03"]; //this task will be the parent task and checks if all three sub tasks are complete _makeParentTask = ["ParentTask01",player,[format ["Destroy ALL OBJECTIVE AT CSAT BASE","Destroy CSAT base",""],objNull,"ASSIGNED",4,true,true,"target"]; _makeTask1 = [["Task01","ParentTask01"],player,["Destroy AA GUNS" to allow CAS and AIR TRAFFIC over AO,"Destroy AA GUNS",""],getMarkerPos "AAmarker","ASSIGNED",1,true,true,"destroy"]; _makeTask2 = [["Task02","ParentTask01"],player,["Destroy ARTILLERY positions to deny support to enemy trups","Destroy ARTILLERY",""],getMarkerPos "ARTYmarker","ASSIGNED",2,true,true,"attack"]; _makeTask3 = [["Task03","ParentTask01"],player,["Eliminate BASE COMMANDER to cripple enemy chain of command ","KILL OFFICER",""],objNull,"ASSIGNED",3,true,true,"kill"]; //spawning loops to handle individual task conditions //this is an easy way to edit and read/handle task conditions and results TexTask1 = false; TexTask2 = false; TexTask3 = false; ParentTask01 = false; _watchTask1 = [] spawn { waitUntil {sleep 0.5; !alive (name of AA gun)};// this is child-subtask task 1 succedeed ["Task01", "SUCCEEDED",true] spawn BIS_fnc_taskSetState; TexTask1 = true; sleep 5; saveGame; }; _watchTask2 = [] spawn { waitUntil {sleep 0.5;!alive (ARTYname)};// this is child-subtask task 2 succedeed ["Task02", "SUCCEEDED",true] spawn BIS_fnc_taskSetState; TexTask2 = true; sleep 5; saveGame; }; _watchTask3 = [] spawn { waitUntil {sleep 0.5;!alive (OFFICERname)};// this is child-subtask task 3 succedeed ["Task03", "SUCCEEDED",true] spawn BIS_fnc_taskSetState; TexTask3 = true; sleep 5; saveGame; }; _watchParentTask = [] spawn { waitUntil {sleep 1;(TexTask1 AND TexTask2 AND TexTask3)};///here it cecks if all child task is completed and then fire the SUCCEEDED state of the PARENT-MAIN task if (TexTask1 AND TexTask2 AND TexTask3) then { ["ParentTask01", "SUCCEEDED",true] spawn BIS_fnc_taskSetState; systemchat "ALL TASK COMPLETED"; ParentTask01 = true; sleep 5; "END1" call BIS_fnc_endMission; }; }; {_x call BIS_fnc_setTask;sleep 3;} foreach [_makeParentTask,_makeTask1,_makeTask2,_makeTask3]; Call this "Task_handling.sqf" for example and call it from the init.sqf of the mission with [] execVM "Task_handling.sqf"; Obviously, You can expand the number of parents/child tree as needed. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
black_hawk_mw2_87 74 Posted November 9, 2018 THANK YOU VERY MUCH! This will definitely help me! :) I am going to use it for my new mission. That was REALLY helpful! Cheers! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers! Try it out...you'll never go back to the maze of modules,triggers and sinc lines it takes to get multiple dynamic tasks in the editor. Also, it's easy to see how you could expand it. For example: parentTask01> Destroy CSAT base parentTask02> Destroy AA sites childtask01 > Destroy AA nr. 1 childtask02 > Destroy AA nr. 2 childtask03 > Destroy AA nr. 3 Following the example I give you earlier, once ALL 3 AA guns are destroyed the parentTask02 become true. Basically, every sub-task could be spitted in "sub-sub" tasks... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
