[uait 10]

hi all

i'm doing some coop missions

in the first mission i set 6 tasks, all work i haven't problems with that

but i want to do a thing:

obj_1 - obj visible in diary from the beginning, marker visible in map from the beginning

obj_2 - obj visible in diary ONLY AFTER obj_1 completed, marker in map visible ONLY AFTER obj_1 completed

obj_3 - obj visible in diary from the beginning, marker visible in map from the beginning

obj_4 - obj visible in diary ONLY AFTER obj_3 completed, marker in map visible ONLY AFTER obj_3 completed

obj_5 - obj visible in diary ONLY AFTER obj_4 completed, marker in map visible ONLY AFTER obj_4 completed

obj_6 - obj visible in diary from the beginning, marker visible in map from the beginning

In ArmA2 there is no way to hide objectives as in OFP and ArmA1. You need to create the objectives 2, 4 and 5 in a trigger (or script) after the preceding tasks are complete.

thx for answer!!!

so i cant?!!

mmm...so

if i have this in my briefing.sqf

tskobj_3 = player CreateSimpleTask["Documenti"];

tskobj_3 setSimpleTaskDescription["Trova i <marker name=olsha'>documenti</marker> da cui potremo dedurre i piani nemici","Documenti","Documenti];

tskobj_2 = player CreateSimpleTask["Campo"];

tskObj_2 setSimpleTaskDescription["Raggiungi <marker name=base'>campo NAPA</marker>.","Campo","Campo];

tskobj_1 = player CreateSimpleTask["Contatto"];

tskobj_1 setSimpleTaskDescription["Mettiti in contatto con il <marker name=NAPA'>NAPA</marker>.","Contatto","Contatto];

and dont want that the TSKOBJ_2 is show at the beginning of mission (but i want that tskobj_3 remain visible)... i have to put it in, for example, trigger that make DONE the TSKOBJ_1??? is that?

so... now i have this INIT in the trigger that make tskobj_1 succeded:

"1" objStatus "DONE"; tskobj_1 setTaskState "SUCCEEDED"; player setCurrentTask tskobj_2; obj_1 = true; publicVariable "obj_1"; hint "Il campo NAPA e' in 128.012"; nul = [objNull, ObjNull, tskobj_1, "SUCCEEDED"] execVM "CA\Modules\MP\data\scriptCommands\taskHint.sqf"; null0 = this execVM "base.sqf"; _marker = createMarker ["base", position fuoco ]; "base" setMarkerType "hd_flag"; "base" setMarkerText "Campo"; "base" setMarkerColor "ColorWhite";

do you know what i have to do?? or do you know some discussion about it?

You need to remove the second task line completely from the briefing.sqf:

briefing.sqf

tskobj_3 = player CreateSimpleTask["Documenti"];
tskobj_3 setSimpleTaskDescription["Trova i <marker  name='olsha'>documenti</marker> da cui potremo dedurre i piani  nemici","Documenti","Documenti"];

tskobj_1 = player CreateSimpleTask["Contatto"];
tskobj_1 setSimpleTaskDescription["Mettiti in contatto con il <marker  name='NAPA'>NAPA</marker>.","Contatto","Contatto"]

In the trigger which is activated when the first objective is done you have this:

"1" objStatus "DONE"; tskobj_1 setTaskState "SUCCEEDED"; player setCurrentTask tskobj_2; obj_1 = true; publicVariable "obj_1"; hint "Il campo NAPA e' in 128.012"; nul = [objNull, ObjNull, tskobj_1, "SUCCEEDED"] execVM "CA\Modules\MP\data\scriptCommands\taskHint.sqf"; null0 = this execVM "base.sqf"; _marker = createMarker ["base", position fuoco ]; "base" setMarkerType "hd_flag"; "base" setMarkerText "Campo"; "base" setMarkerColor "ColorWhite"; tskobj_2 = player CreateSimpleTask["Campo"]; tskObj_2 setSimpleTaskDescription["Raggiungi <marker name='base'>campo NAPA</marker>.","Campo","Campo"];

Note the two added commands at the end which create a new task.

"1" objStatus "DONE" is no more needed in ArmA2, you use the setTaskState command instead. However it doesn't has any negative impact if you keep it.

thank you!!!

i do a thing!

i crete 2 triggers one near other

in the first:

tskobj_2 = player CreateSimpleTask["Campo"]; tskObj_2 setSimpleTaskDescription["Raggiungi <marker name=base'>campo NAPA</marker>.","Campo","Campo];

in the second:

"1" objStatus "DONE"; tskobj_1 setTaskState "SUCCEEDED"; player setCurrentTask tskobj_2; obj_1 = true; publicVariable "obj_1"; hint "Il campo NAPA e' in 128.012"; nul = [objNull, ObjNull, tskobj_1, "SUCCEEDED"] execVM "CA\Modules\MP\data\scriptCommands\taskHint.sqf"; null0 = this execVM "base.sqf"; _marker = createMarker ["base", position fuoco ]; "base" setMarkerType "hd_flag"; "base" setMarkerText "Campo"; "base" setMarkerColor "ColorWhite";

so when player comes near first trigger the obj_2 is create in diary, and when after a meter when he comes in the second trigger he knows that he does the request obj_1

thank you :)
