Task Parameters

A variable or placeholder that allows roles and props to be generically specified without being tied to specific characters or props. For example, if there are a group of guards who should all be able to do a certain set of actions, a task parameter would allow you to create content that can be used by all of the characters. Without task parameters, you would have to create the same content over and over again for each of the individual characters.

Creating a New Task Parameter

The process required to create a new task parameter is quite simple. There are two places in the task editor that you can create a new parameter:

1. Sidebar workflow

1. Inline when creating a new step

You can either create all necessary task parameters before you add your content, or you can add the parameters as you go. Whichever workflow you choose, the process is the same.

• When you add a new task parameter, there are three required fields to fill out:

  • Type — There are two options to choose from: role and prop_type.

  • Select Role / Prop Type — Use the drop-down or keyboard to find the role or prop you'd like to select.

  • Name — This field will automatically populate depending on what you choose for role / prop type. You can edit the name to something of your choosing.
