[SOLVED] Help to make addAction complete a task.

[Samcot 12]

Hey guys.

 

I have placed an object in the editor with the following code in the init - (The code lets me inspect the weapons and plays a cool little sound when activated).

this addAction ["Inspect the weapons", { 
 
params ["_object","_caller","_ID"]; 
_object say3D "01"; 
 
}]; 

I want to create a task where I have to inspect the weapons, using the create task module.

Is there a way to automatically set the task to "Succeeded" once I have manually clicked "Inspected the weapons" on my object? preferably using setTaskState?

 

I'm kinda new to scripting so if someone would be kind enough to change my code which I pasted above to go straight into the object init that would be great. 

 

Thanks in advance.

Like this,

inspector= player addAction ["Inspect", "[""task1"",""SUCCEEDED""] call BIS_fnc_taskSetState"];

Have fun!

That looks great, I'll test it soon. @wogz187 Would you please be able to edit the code so it also includes the command to play my sound? _object say3D "01"; ?

 

Thank you very much for your help :)

@Samcot,

Added sound, params and cleaned up.

player addAction ["Inspect", { 
	params ["_object","_caller","_ID"];
  	["task1","SUCCEEDED"] call BIS_fnc_taskSetState; 
	 _object say3D "01";
 }];

Have fun!

you can use code { } instead double quote " " in addAction. It's far easier in any sqf editor for tracking errors. And the quadruple quote "" "" will stay double " ".

 

Side note: before the quadruple, even if it works, you could use the single one ' '. So working hierarchy is: " ' "" "" ' ". Where you can use code { " '  ' " }.

Thanks so much wogz! I need to learn about params as I have no clue what they do. :)

YES! 

trust me it is a game-changer and it will lift unnecessary restrictions and complications you would otherwise put yourself under. 

PM me if you want to dig into it, i am happy to help and share what i know. 

Cheers
