Taskmaster, creating and updating tasks for any set of players with JIP support

[sxp2high 22]

Is this script working at all?

I just tried...

I joined my dedicated, solved a task, switched back to lobby, and i had to do the same task again.

Init.sqf

[[

[WEST,"aaa",["aaaaaaaaaaa","aaaaaaaaaaa","aaaaaaaaaaa"],"taskMark"],

[WEST,"bbb",["bbbbbbbbbbb","bbbbbbbbbbb","bbbbbbbbbbb"],"task2Mark"]

],[

["true",["Note1","Note 1 text field"]],

["true",["Note2","Note 2 text field"]]

]] execvm "briefing.sqf";

Trigger

nul=["aaa","succeeded"] call TASKMASTER_upd; nul = ["bbb","assigned"] call TASKMASTER_upd;

Am i missing something? I would like to use this script for some missions.

Weird... The test mission works...

Try this:

nul = ["aaa","succeeded","bbb"] call TASKMASTER_upd;

Thanks... but i get the same result.

Is that really everything that has to be done?

PublicVariables and checking them is done by your script?

If I place the briefing.sqf, init.sqf en description.ext in the mission folder, ArmA 2 crashes when I try to load my mission. Did you know about this, shk?

Edit: I think the code in the init.sqf is at fault here...

So I found out why loading the mission crashes the game and freezes the entire PC. It was the description.ext, even though I only had an onloadmission text in it. Weird.

But when I test the mission in a listen server, it only shows tsk_quala2 in the briefing screen. The "Set as current task" option isn't shown either (because it only shows one task?). Does anyone know why this happens?

Current init.sqf:

[[
 [WEST,"tsk_village",["Neutralize all enemies in this village and destroy both weapon caches.","Sweep village & Destroy crates","Sweep village"],
 [WEST,"tsk_quala1",["Our UAV spotted a weapon cache in Quala 1 as well. Destroy it.","Destroy weapon cache","Destroy weapon cache"],
 [WEST,"tsk_quala2",["Taliban insurgents have been using this quala as a stronghold. Kill them all.","Neutralize Taliban in Quala 2","Neutralize Taliban"],
 [WEST,"tsk_quala3",["Enemies have been spotted in this quala. Take them out.","Neutralize Taliban in Quala 3","Neutralize Taliban"],
 [WEST,"tsk_rtb",["Return to base.","Return to base.","RTB"]]

],[
 ["true",["Briefing","Greetings gentlemen, have a seat.<br/><br/>As you all know, you have been flown to Helmand province in light of the new Dutch-British exchange project. We are here to provide help and support to our allies, and they are doing the same for us in Uruzgan.

While the Brits are fighting in the south, you will be deployed a few kilometers to the north.<br/><br/>You must rid the area of insurgents and destroy every weapon cache you can find.

]] execvm "briefing.sqf";

Missing a second ] after the first 4 tasks.

The tasks now work, but the yellow HUD text and waypoint don't. How do I fix this? I've only tested on a listen server and not a dedicated, but that shouldn't be an issue, right?

Current init.sqf:

[[
 [WEST,"tsk_village",["Neutralize all enemies in <marker name='marker_1'>this village</marker> and destroy both weapon caches.","Sweep village & Destroy crates","Sweep village"]],
 [WEST,"tsk_quala1",["Our UAV spotted a weapon cache in <marker name='marker_2'>Quala 1</marker> as well. Destroy it.","Destroy weapon cache","Destroy weapon cache"]],
 [WEST,"tsk_quala2",["Taliban insurgents have been using <marker name='marker_3'>this quala</marker> as a stronghold. Kill them all.","Neutralize Taliban in Quala 2","Neutralize Taliban"]],
 [WEST,"tsk_quala3",["Enemies have been spotted <marker name='marker_4'>here.</marker> Take them out.","Neutralize Taliban in Quala 3","Neutralize Taliban"]],
 [WEST,"tsk_rtb",["<marker name='marker_start'>Return to base.</marker>","Return to base.","RTB"]]

You haven't set any task markers. Thus, it doesn't create task destinations.

Instead of fixing this mess, I started from clean table.
