Taskmaster 2

[Razor91 17]

The problem is, if i do this in a stringtable.xml, it doesn´t work.

Maybe a problem in the stringtable.xml...

I tried this one and still doesn´t work...

Seems to be a problem with stringtable.xml.

Hi. A few questions. Is the server supposed to do all of the Taskmaster_upd and _add etc? What happens if a client does it? I was thinking how to handle JIPs. If anyone can write a description the best way to handle them would be appreciated. Right now I have a trigger on the map with e.g (!alive person) and then it executes a sqf with ["task1", "succeeded"] call SHK_Taskmaster_upd;

Hi there,

Has anyone used this script on a dedicated server game? I'm trying to implement the taskmaster script.

Everything works great on a locally hosted multiplayer game, but when I try to run on a dedicated server, only the initial tasks are setup for all players, when I try to add a task on the fly using the call SHK_Taskmaster_add; they fail to update for anyone.

Am I missing something with how I should call this command when running on a dedicated server?

Hi there,

I've encountered strange problem with taskmaster (v.33). I made a briefing using it, and tested it by hosting lan server. The briefing is not visible on map screen - I have to start the mission to have all the tasks and notes loaded and visible.

I tried asking more experienced mission makers what could be causing it, but they could not help me. I have no idea, what I could have done wrong, as yesterday I copy-pasted my init.sqf to other mission and then it worker flawlessly.

Hope you guys can help me sort it out - here is my init.sqf:

//Init UPSMON scritp (must be run on all clients)
call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "scripts\Init_UPSMON.sqf";    
// ACE wounding system
ace_wounds_prevtime = 600;
ace_sys_wounds_withSpect = true;
//Process statements stored using setVehicleInit
processInitCommands;
//Finish world initialization before mission is launched. 
finishMissionInit;

Hi mate. Welcome to the forum.

In your spoiler... it's just a wall of text that no one will be able to read! When you post code think about the person that has to read and make sense of it.

So...you should hit the "ADVANCED" button and use "CODE" or "PHP" tags when posting code... and also do your best to make sure people can read it as easily as possible.

If it's going to take an hour just to reformat and then read it... you will be very lucky indeed if any help comes your way.

EDIT: Actually... I'm not sure code tags will help in this situation... Lol and Wow!

It's not that I didn't format it becouse I'm lazy - I'm just so inexperienced, that I'm afraid to touch it in any way becouse I might ruin its syntax. I just copy-pasted my descriptions into taskmaster template.

// intentionally no 4th param here?

Nope, I forgot to put it in. But it should've work without it?

It's strange that if I copy it to other mission, it works. Maybe something within mission itself blocks it from kicking in before mission start? I'm also using UPSMON and ACE mods - maybe they've something to do with this?

[wiggum2 31]

Hi,

I am using v0.33 and having trouble getting newly assigned tasks to be the current task as per the setCurrentTask command.

In a radio trigger I have:

 ["Task1","succeeded","Task2"] call SHK_Taskmaster_upd;

This correctly updates the status of Task1 and makes Task2 assigned but not current. I want Task2 to be the CurrentTask so that the yellow waypoint indicator will show up in the game. Adding player setCurrentTask Task2; in addition to the code in the radio trigger doesn't help.

The 2 tasks in the mission are added correctly and have valid destination points. I have Task1 set as assigned at the beginning of the mission with a corresponding destination point that appears on mission start up. When I activate the radio trigger and then open the Tasks menu and manually click on "Set as current task" under Task2 then the yellow waypoint indicator appears in the correct destination point for Task2 and the task is made current.

I am using CO with OA version 1.59.79384 with no mods loaded or any other scripts that would affect tasks. This test was done in the editor and in a locally hosted game.

Am I doing something wrong? Are assigned tasks meant to be the CurrentTask?

I have the same problem, tasks get assigned but are never current (like with the setCurrentTask command).

Any idea ?

[wiggum2 31]

Shuko told me he currently does no scripting and cant spot the error after a quick search.

So can anyone fix the setCurrentTask error is this otherwise great script ?

[loyalguard 15]

I am not intimately familiar with Shuko's great script, however I did take a quick look through it to see if anything seemed wrong. As far as I can tell there is only one instance of setCurrentTask in the entire script located in the function that adds new tasks (SHK_Taskmaster_addTask).

SHK_Taskmaster_addTask does not appear to be called or spawned through the chain initiated by calling SHK_Taskmaster_upd with the optional 3rd parameter as a string -- it is only called or spawned when the third parameter is an array (which adds a new tasks after updating.

There are a lot of function calls in this script, so, it is possible I missed it somewhere, but without setCurrentTask somewhere in the chain, the task will not be made current.

I hope this helps.

[wiggum2 31]

I already added the setCurrentTask command at multiple location inside the script but with no positiv result... :(

[loyalguard 15]

This is untested, but if you have not done so already, try this:

1. Find the SHK_Taskmaster_updateTask function in the .sqf file.

2. Look for the following line in that function:

 
_handle settaskstate _state;

3. Paste the code below directly beneath the line above:

 
if (_state in ["created","assigned"]) then {
         _x setCurrentTask _handle;
       };

The code above is exactly the same as Shuko used when adding new tasks. There is even a blank line in the function between where the state is set and where the function continues (this is where I recommend pasting the code above) so I wonder if it was in there but was removed. In fact if you look at the change log, there was a conflict between v.29 and v.31 with JIP and setting the current task so it could be that my fix breaks JIP current tasks.

Try it and see if that works. If you already have and it does not work then I am afraid I don't see an easy fix.

[wiggum2 31]

I just tried it but it also does not work... :(

[hogmason 2]

SHK excellent script mate.

1 question im using your random mission picker example from another thread

your example

call compile preprocessfile "shk_taskmaster.sqf";

//taskCount = paramsarray select 0;
taskCount = 6;

SHK_addTask = {
 if isserver then {
   if (count SHK_Tasks == 0) then {
     // whatever you want server to do when mission should end
     TheEnd = true;
     publicvariable "TheEnd";
   } else {
     [] spawn {
       if (count SHK_Tasks != taskCount) then {sleep 1};
       private "_t";
       _t = SHK_Tasks select (floor random count SHK_Tasks);
       SHK_Tasks = SHK_Tasks - [_t];
       switch _t do {
         case 0: { ["Task1","Task1Title","Task1Desc",true,["mrkTaskMM1",getmarkerpos "task1","","","text1"]] call SHK_Taskmaster_add };
         case 1: { ["Task2","Task2Title","Task2Desc",true,["mrkTaskMM1",getmarkerpos "task2","","","text1"]] call SHK_Taskmaster_add };
         case 2: { ["Task3","Task3Title","Task3Desc",true,["mrkTaskMM1",getmarkerpos "task3","","","text1"]] call SHK_Taskmaster_add };
         case 3: { ["Task4","Task4Title","Task4Desc",true,["mrkTaskMM1",getmarkerpos "task4","","","text1"]] call SHK_Taskmaster_add };
         case 4: { ["Task5","Task5Title","Task5Desc",true,["mrkTaskMM1",getmarkerpos "task5","","","text1"]] call SHK_Taskmaster_add };
         case 5: { ["Task6","Task6Title","Task6Desc",true,["mrkTaskMM1",getmarkerpos "task6","","","text1"]] call SHK_Taskmaster_add };
       };
     };
   };
 };
};
if isserver then {
 SHK_Tasks = [];
 for "_i" from 0 to (taskCount - 1) do {
   SHK_Tasks set [_i,_i];
 };

 call SHK_addTask; // first task
};

waituntil {BIS_fnc_init};

my question is how can i put a sleep command in this so there is like a 3 minute gap before the next task is selected.

also how can i have text appear on the bottom left hand side off my ingame screen informing me that a mission is ready.

text example

			mission_text = "There is a radar tower on the top of mount Gur Dur. Find it and destroy it."; publicVariable "mission_text";
		mission_resolved_text = "Good job. The radar tower on top of mount Gur Dur is down."; publicVariable "mission_resolved_text";

[hogmason 2]

got it with help from psvialli

call compile preprocessfile "shk_taskmaster.sqf";

//taskCount = paramsarray select 0;
taskCount = 6;

SHK_addTask = {
 if isserver then {
   if (count SHK_Tasks == 0) then {
     // whatever you want server to do when mission should end
     TheEnd = true;
     publicvariable "TheEnd";
   } else {
     [] spawn {
       if (count SHK_Tasks != taskCount) then {sleep 1};
       private "_t";
       _t = SHK_Tasks select (floor random count SHK_Tasks);
       SHK_Tasks = SHK_Tasks - [_t];
       switch _t do {
         case 0: { ["Task1","Task1Title","Task1Desc",true,["mrkTaskMM1",getmarkerpos "task1","","","text1"]] call SHK_Taskmaster_add };
                      player sideChat "ADD MISSION START TEXT HERE."
       };
     };
   };
 };
};
if isserver then {

to show mission finish text add

player sideChat "aDD MISSION FINNISH START TEXT HERE." the end function i.e

"Task5","succeeded"] call SHK_Taskmaster_upd;
[] call SHK_addTask;
player sideChat "aDD MISSION  FINNISH START TEXT HERE."

[carlostex 38]

One thing would be neat. It would be nice if when you "set as current task" in the menu during the missions it would show a taskHint for the new assigned task. And when players JIP it would show the taskHint for the current assigned task.

[hogmason 2]

How do i add different tasks per side i.e

i have a tvt mission where west have to destroy a scud and east have to help the ai defend the scud.

i call it by

	case 19: {
 		["Task20","Artillery Radar","SOCOMD have assigned us to destroy a Rusian Artillery radar located on Skalisty Island, If we can destroy this target we will limit the enemy's ability to call effective artillery strikes against UN forces.",true,["MissionAO",getmarkerpos "task20","flag","ColorRed"]] call SHK_Taskmaster_add;
  		nul = [] execVM "missions\task20.sqf";
               player sideChat "SOCOMD have assigned us to destroy a Rusian Artillery radar located Skalisty Island, If we can destroy this target we will limit the enemy's ability to call effective artillery strikes against UN forces"

   		};

now that gives the task to all teams but i whish for it to give a different description to eachteam == west to destroy the scud == east to defend.

[cuel 25]

["Task20","Artillery Radar","SOCOMD have assigned us to destroy a Rusian Artillery radar located on Skalisty Island, If we can destroy this target we will limit the enemy's ability to call effective artillery strikes against UN forces.",[b]true[/b],["MissionAO",getmarkerpos "task20","flag","ColorRed"]] call SHK_Taskmaster_add;

Change true to WEST or EAST and then make another one for the other team.

[hogmason 2]

awsome cheers mate.

1 more thing is there a way i can execute the task's in a differnet init.sqf as my init is getting pretty danm long,

see i am going to have over 100 tasks and it would be neater in its own init file this is what i need to move

in my init to start the tasks

i tried missions_init.sqf

calling by placing this in my init.sqf

#include "missions_init.sqf"

but it did not work

[twirly 11]

Put all that Taskmaster code or any code for that matter in a file.... say "script.sqf" and then just execute it from your init.sqf with....

init.sqf:-

nul = [] execVM "script.sqf";

EDIT:

This may or may not apply to that specific code.... but if you need to wait until an executed script finishes before you carry on with more code... use something like this instead...

init.sqf:-

_scr = [] execVM "script.sqf";
waituntil {scriptdone _scr};

//...blah blah blah
//execute other stuff now

Is there a way to delete Tasks once complete ?

[Jigsor 175]

I've gotten Taskmaster working and love it so far. Thank you Shuko. Is there a way to get AI group to sit still at waypoint untill a task is assigned? I've tried using this call function in the condition box of both waypoint and in trigger. The AI group is not responding to the call in any combination.

Condition:

["Task3_beachhead","assigned"] call SHK_Taskmaster_hasState

Any ideas on how to use impliment the call functions?
