Task

A task is a logical step in a schedule, it can be seen as a sequential set of steps the NPC must take in order to accomplish a schedule.

A task becomes latent if TaskComplete() or TaskFail() isn't called. Meaning the schedule will not procede to the next task until the current one has been taken care of.

If a task fails the schedule will fail and exit. It will NOT proceed to the next task.

ADDING A TASK TO A NPC CLASS

• Add the task to an enum declaration in your class :

enum
{
    TASK_ONE = BaseClass::NEXT_TASK,
    TASK_TWO,
    TASK_THREE,
}

• Declare the task below the AI_BEGIN_CUSTOM_NPC(...) using the DECLARE_TASK(...) macro.

• Add your case to the StartTask()

• Add your case to RunTask() ( needed if TaskComplete() not called in StartTask() )
