Task completes only if other task complete

[clydefrog]

Yes I tried

{_x in thisList} count units alpha > 0 and {_x in thisList} count units bravo > 0 and !alive cache;

instead of

{_x in thisList} count units alpha > 0 and {_x in thisList} count units bravo > 0 && destroy;

That worked, now I can only complete the task if the condition to complete the previous task (which is destroy the cache - an ammo boxed named "cache") has been met.

I wonder why I can't get it working with && destroy though? Have you actually tried doing that yourself and know it should work? For some tasks it would be a lot easier to just say the condition && TaskName instead of saying condition and condition of other task.

Becose that destroy should be in if i remember task6 but in on act:
in condition: not alive cache
on act: destroy=true

[clydefrog]

I thought saying destroy=true meant that destroy is now the current task, that's what I was told.

so in my destroy objective complete trigger, it says rv=true meaning rv is now the current task

ahhh that is probably where i was going wrong, I've now tried it with:

{_x in thisList} count units alpha > 0 and {_x in thisList} count units bravo > 0 && destroy;

after setting the destroy cache trigger to condition: !alive cache and on act: destroy=true; task6 settaskstate "SUCCEEDED"; [task6] call mk_fTaskHint; player setcurrenttask task7;

and it works

Thats way its better to use for that obj1=true, obj2=true for that in task1, task2 etc its all clear and you should not make any mistakes when you use names like this

[clydefrog]

So obj=true definitely means objective is complete? I must have remembered something wrong from the tutorials I used.

I just rechecked the example mission for the tutorial i used and it is from somebody good at mission making, and on the trigger to complete the objective it says next objective=true in the on act

e.g. for obj1, in the trigger it says obj2=true, not obj1=true.

Ok new problem with this lol

now that i use =true this way, my task hint thing comes up twice saying the task is accomplished

task6 settaskstate "SUCCEEDED"; [task6] call mk_fTaskHint; player setcurrenttask task7; destroy=true;

task7 settaskstate "SUCCEEDED"; [task7] call mk_fTaskHint; player setcurrenttask task8; rv=true;

both make the task accomplished hint show up twice for each one.

You dont have to use words obj1=true or obj2=true in on act window. You can use whatever word you likie for all tasks: cat=true, frog=true that is not importent, You only must remember to use correct words if you use them leter in triggers (cat && frog etc).
Ps: can you write code from your conditions from both triggers (task6 and 7), maybe there uis something wrong?

Yeah I know that, I'm not using ojb1, obj2 etc. i'm using words that describe the task e.g. rescue, destroy, rv etc.

here's the code that I'm using since you said to put the =true thing for the completed objective and not the next one.



task6 destroy cache trigger:

condition: !alive cache

on act: task6 settaskstate "SUCCEEDED"; [task6] call mk_fTaskHint; player setcurrenttask task7; destroy=true;



task7 rendezvous trigger

condition: {_x in thisList} count units alpha > 0 and {_x in thisList} count units bravo > 0 && destroy

on act: task7 settaskstate "SUCCEEDED"; [task7] call mk_fTaskHint; player setcurrenttask task8; rv=true;


and I also have a trigger to call up those taskhints e.g for rendezvous.

condition: rv

on act: [task7] call mk_fTaskHint;


As I said the guy who's tutorials I saw would have say objective 1 called obj1, and then in the trigger for completing objective 1 he would put "obj2=true" which is not the way you are using it.

I checked your conditions etc, and this script pack for Taskhints that you use, and all look good. Sorry but now i dont know whats wrong . Maybe later i find something.
Maybe you dont ned that rv=true and rv trigger i dont know really.

Seems I have it working now, the those extra task hint trigger things i have e.g.

condition: rv

on act: [task7] call mk_fTaskHint;

it's actually meant to show the next task's taskhint so I've put them all up one, so now it would read (as i haven't done it for this task yet because i don't have task8 yet):

condition: rv

on act: [task8] call mk_fTaskHint;

I've done this for all other tasks and now they work. Hopefully no more problems with that stuff now heh. Btw is there a way to do Not in thisList as well as in thisList? I'd like a different way to detect when units are out of an area other than the distance thing. And it has to be 2 named units so I can't use blufor not present or anything like that. Or can you use not present together with thisList so that when they move out of the trigger area the trigger is fired? I'll give that a try.
