Tasklist Message (Flowgraph Node)

- **Node Name:** `Tasklist Message`

Overview

  • Node Name: Tasklist Message
  • Category: once_instant
  • File: extensions/flowgraph/nodes/ui/tasklistMessage.lua

Shows a goal entry in the Goal List (tasklist) app. Each goal has a label, optional subtext, an identifier for uniqueness, and active/clear states.

Pin Schema

Input Pins

labelany-noGoal label text. Bug: cannot start directly with a number
subany-yesSubtext for the goal (only works with tasklist app)
identifierstring"flowgraph"noUnique ID - only one goal per identifier can be displayed
clearbooltrueyesEnable to clear the goal
activebooltrueyesWhether the goal is active

How It Works

  1. workOnce() - Triggers guihooks.trigger('SetTasklistTask', data) with:
    • clear - whether to clear this goal entry
    • label - the goal display text
    • subtext - optional secondary text
    • active - whether the goal is currently active
    • id - unique identifier (defaults to "__" .. self.id if not set)
    • type - always "message"

Lua Code Example

-- Add a goal to the tasklist:
guihooks.trigger('SetTasklistTask', {
  clear = false,
  label = "Reach the checkpoint",
  subtext = "Drive to the marked location",
  active = true,
  id = "myGoal_01",
  type = "message",
})

-- Clear a specific goal:
guihooks.trigger('SetTasklistTask', {
  clear = true,
  id = "myGoal_01",
  type = "message",
})

Key Dependencies

  • guihooks.trigger('SetTasklistTask', data) - Adds/updates/clears a goal in the tasklist UI
