[_WARHAWK_ 2]

Hello, 

I'm trying to create a task that by pressing a key it completes the task. So far I'm able to link it to complete after a set time but would like it to be:

 

Create Task: Open Map

Press Map Key

Task Complete.

You can try something like this,
visibleMap

Spoiler

waitUntil {visibleMap};
_mapTask setTaskState "Succeeded";

 

*untested

Have fun!

Hmm...ok So I put this into the On Activation box in the Trigger expression?

Ok that didn't work...I saw something along the lines of this:

 

Triggered when map is opened or closed either by user action or script command openMap.

addMissionEventHandler ["Map", { params ["_mapIsOpened", "_mapIsForced"]; }];

mapIsOpened: Boolean - true if map is opened

mapIsForced: Boolean - true if map is forced

 

Would I use this on the trigger or the task module?

addMissionEventHandler ["Map", { params ["_mapIsOpened", "_mapIsForced"]; }];

Yeah! Event handlers are great. I should have looked for that first.

you_mapEvent=addMissionEventHandler ["Map", { params ["_mapIsOpened", "_mapIsForced"];

	if (_mapIsOpened) then {
		_mapTask setTaskState "Succeeded"; 
		removeMissionEventHandler ["Map",you_mapEvent];
	}; 

}];

Something like this pasted into the init properties dialog should work. Keep in mind it will respond to the first time the map is opened.

*Still untested

Have fun!

Ok so I have a Create task to assigned, a Set State task to complete and a trigger right now. Trigger is synced to the set task state module. Which init would I put it in?

You can paste the above just about anywhere code will stick. Init properties dialog, trigger, waypoint statement, random object's init, init.sqf.

The important part is that it is running when the map event happens. So perhaps the trigger which precedes this task.

Have fun!

Got it. Thank you 😄
