Task System
DCG's task system consists of two categories. Primary tasks (P) are involved scenarios that require a group of players to successfully coordinate; while secondary tasks (S) are smaller endeavors that can be accomplished by a single player.
These categories allow the task system to accommodate a range of player counts. The system also adjust the number of AI units per task based on the current player count.
The requirements of a task may be affected by the mods enabled on a server. For example, ACE3 changes several ARMA features such as the repair system, so please take your mod settings into account.
A server admin can cancel a task at any time through the action menu (or self interaction menu if ACE3 is enabled). A new task will spawn shortly after cancelation.
Completing or failing a task influences the region's approval value if dcg_approval is enabled; this affects how players interact with civilians in the area.
