How to create a repeatable task?

[Gabriel Morte 0]

In my scenario, after executing various tasks, the player needs to return to the base every time to replenish supplies and rearm, how to create 1 universal, repeatable a task (ModuleTaskCreate_F) that would bring me back every time? 
Thank you all in advance for your help.

If your goal is to have one task that can be executed, then assigned again, then executed again, and so on... then you just need to put a module for creating a task (ModuleTaskCreate_F), then sync it with two other modules (ModuleTaskSetState_F in one of them choose assign, and in the other complete), and each of these two modules (ModuleTaskSetState_F) sync with a separate trigger. And each time you fulfill the trigger condition, the task will either be assigned or completed.

Thanks for the tip, it works, but how do I refresh the task marker/label? The list is selected (box)

I didn't understand you, explain in more detail what exactly you mean.

Yes of course, I recorded a video, hope it helps.

You've done everything correctly. If you want to change the task type (icon) during the scenario, you'd better use this function: BIS_fnc_taskSetType

TaskID is 1 in your scenario (as in the module).

Available icons can be found here.

I'll try this later, of course, but it seems like we're talking about different things.

Step by step:
There is 1 cycle from the beginning, the first activation of the task.

1. My character enters the blue arrow trigger for the first time.
1.1. A navigation marker appears on the scene (0:40 sec.), it is located at the position where ModuleTaskCreate_F is located, and has the form (box).
 

2. My character enters the trigger with a red arrow for the first time, the task is completed.

2.1. The navigation marker disappears when the task is completed (0:46sec.)
 

3. Cycle 2, task reactivation,
3.1. Navigation marker no longer appears (0:51 sec.)
 

How do I get the navigation marker back on reactivation?

Now I understand what you meant.

Try to create the task before assigning it. That is, put another task state change module (and select Create in it), and another trigger that will work a little earlier than the one that assigns the task (use a timer for the assignment in the trigger itself).

It partially worked, after reactivation (Cycle 2), you have to manually assign tasks by opening the map menu.

Yes, apparently there is such a problem with modules.
Therefore, it is better to use the functions I gave a link to above.

Here is mission.sqm file (replace it in your test mission):

Thank you very much, the mission.sqm you provided works great, can I use this code as a universal template?
1.
["1"] call BIS_fnc_deleteTask; [ "1", true ["Description..."","Title...",""], arrow_1, "AUTOASSIGNED", 5, true true "Defend", true ] call BIS_fnc_setTask;
2.
["1","SUCCEEDED"] call BIS_fnc_taskSetState;

Of course, you just need to replace the task number, its name and description with what you need. See syntax in BIS_fnc_setTask function.
