CfgTaskDescriptions

[jstibbsy 54]

I've searched the forums and google on how to use CfgTaskDescriptions but cannot find anything helpful. Does anyone know how to implement them with bis_fnc_createtask? (I need it for localising)
Cheers

You have looked at both this and this page right?

Did you try to use bis_fnc_setStask  with classId referring  to the class you declared in cfgClasses?

[params, target, desc, (dest, state, priority, showNotification, isGlobal, type, shared)] call BIS_fnc_setTask

Updated wiki page for both BIS_fnc_taskCreate and BIS_fnc_setTask to make the usage of CfgTaskDescriptions as the tasks description clearer.

Spoiler

//Description.ext

class CfgTaskDescriptions {
	class byName {
		title = "Task byName";
		description = "Task title, description and marker provided by CfgTaskDescriptions by using the config class name( byName )";
		marker = "";
	};
	class byTaskID {
		title = "Task byTaskID";
		description = "Task title, description and marker provided by CfgTaskDescriptions by using the taskID";
		marker = "";
	};
};

//initPlayerLocal.sqf

[
	west,
	"taskByName",
	"byName"	//Description set as CfgTaskDescriptions class name
] call BIS_fnc_taskCreate;

[
	west,
	"byTaskID",	//Task ID
	""		//Description must be an empty string, CfgTaskDescriptions searched for taskID
] call BIS_fnc_taskCreate;

 

See Lou Montana's note on BIS_fnc_taskCreate page about localisation.

I did look at them and for some reason it didn't work, I'll try again!
Cheers everyone, gonna give them a go.

I got the desc.ext working and showing but for some reason it just spits out the strings like text, I made sure they weren't in speech marks or anything, did they remove string functionality? If so, does anyone know a way of localising tasks?
Cheers

Edit:
Nvm, forgot that the str at the start has to be capital.
