Creating mission objectives on the fly question

[keimosabe 10]

You guys were a big help in showing me how to create a marker on the fly when a plane got shot down and my mission is coming along great. My question is:

Is it possible to actually create a task on the fly that corresponds to the downed plane? I've done some looking around and I cannot find anything like the "createmarker" commands that would pertain to something like "createtask" or "createobjective"

Am I missing something or can you just not do that? As usual, thanks in advance for the help guys.

Sure you can make them on the fly :) the process is exactly the same as when doing it from briefing.sqf. The commands you are looking for are:

• createDiaryRecord
  
• createSimpleTask
  
• setSimpleTaskDescription
  
• setSimpleTaskDestination
  

You can use these commands straight from a trigger's onAct box or just create a new script file and run that from the onAct.

HAHAAAAAA!!! Thanks man. I know how to create those, I just didn't realize you could associate the commands with a trigger.
