How do i cancel a task with a trigger?

[C.T.B Creations 0]

So I've been making a mission where you crashed in a helicopter and now you are in the middle of the Tanoa Jungle and have to get off the smaller island but Captain Adams orders you to search some CSAT buildings/camps while you are at it for some intel. but when you get to the first campsite, Cpt. Adams orders you to retreat because CSAT called in for backup and now you have a change of plans. The side chat text shows up when you walk into a trigger but can I make that trigger also cancel the current task (which is to infiltrate the campsite)

yes, with:

 

[yourTaskIdHere,"CANCELED"] call BIS_fnc_taskSetState;

"[X] Task ID cannot be an empty string" is all it says 😞

Well assuming you are using the task module in editor to start your task then you should also define the "task ID" in the task module properties. Then you put that "task ID" to the code I posted. and then you put the code I posted to triggers "on activation" field

 

so if your task ID is: myTask

then your code is:

 

[myTask,"CANCELED"] call BIS_fnc_taskSetState;

still the same error. My TaskID is Infiltrate on the Create Task module. and my Set Task State Module is on Succeeded. is something wrong there? oh and in the 5x5x5 trigger i put "[Infiltrate,"CANCELED"] call BIS_fnc_taskSetState;" on "On Activation"

Hmm hard to say, maybe syntax error. hope someone can help you

Check BIS_fnc_taskSetState in functions viewer.  Task is supposed to be a string.  "Infiltrate"

As you are using the task modules. Add a Set Task Module, set it to cancelled, sync it to Create Task Module, also sync it to the trigger that fires when you want it to cancel.

Example

Going to the Green arrow Succeeds the task. Going to the Red arrow Cancels the task.
