TaskManager for Games

[abhi_shekv]

Hello All,

Just wanted to know what is the most common methodology of implementing a Task Manager in Games... something like asking the player to do a task and then another in a sequential order. Any pointers to any tutorials? Any common ways to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Abhishek

Do you mean something like goals to complete a level/quest by tasks? In that case you may want to look into triggers. Basicly a trigger is something that can be... well triggered.

A trigger has conditions and effects. Conditions are the conditions that need to be met, before the trigger actually triggers. When a trigger triggers the effects are applied.

If an effect can be to create another trigger, you can effectively have a series of quests follow each other. I've used a similair system in my Marshmellow prototype.
