Task Scripts in detail

Task scripts are just a simple list of Script Commands. They are called by either the RUNTASK command or the TASK activity. nodes.

General layout of a Task Script

'Name of script':   # Name Node
  Type: Task        # Type Node
  Script:           # Script Node
  - COMMAND1
  - COMMAND2
  - etc...

Using a Task Script with RUNTASK

Imagine a scenario where you'd like to check a single outcome from multiple sources. Say, for instance, you have multiple 'quests' that all have the same outcome. You could check the completion for each quest, or, you could have all the quests call a Task Script and check against that.

This is a very basic example for something that can in theory be very complex. Imagination, hoooo!
