Marking Tasks Complete?
« on: 02 Jan 2010, 00:26:57 »
I've used alimag's Briefing Manager to get half way there, and I am using some stuff that worked in Arma I.

What I need help with is:

1) How to show a task as completed (can it be shown as colored in or ticked?)

2) In the attached example mission I have three triggers - two for the objectives - now tasks - and one victory trigger to check that both objectives were met using the following:

Obj/Task trigger on activation: obj1COMPLETED = true; "1" objStatus ""DONE" for objective 1 & obj2COMPLETED = true; "2" objStatus ""DONE" for objective 2
Victory trigger: obj1COMPLETED && obj2COMPLETED

Which gives the old school pop-up "Objective completed" in the game. Is there a better way/more current way to do this?

I've looked around in multiple posts and have come across info that was close to where I think I want to go but I do not have the base knowledge of this material to pull it together.

I added a few things to your mission. Mind you that all of it will work fine in SP. For MP you need to use a completely different setup.  You will ahve to use addPublicVariableEventHandler and then publicVariabel in your trigger. I recomend  not worrying about MP  until you have the basics down in SP.

I basically just changed the marker text and color when the mission was complete, the task state as succeded, one trigger I used regular hint and the other I used taskhint.

there are numerous things you can add to make it nice looking.
