Tasklist Task (Flowgraph Node)

- **Node Name:** `Tasklist Task`

Overview

  • Node Name: Tasklist Task
  • Category: once_instant
  • File: extensions/flowgraph/nodes/ui/tasklistTask.lua

Shows a task/goal entry in the Tasklist App UI. Each task has a label, optional subtext, and status flags for done/fail/active states.

Note: The message app does not handle labels that start directly with a number - always prepend a string.

Pin Schema

Input Pins

PinTypeDefaultDescription
labelany-Display label for the goal
subany-Subtext for the goal (hidden, tasklist only)
identifierstring'flowgraph'ID for the goal; only one message per ID shown
doneboolfalseWhether the goal has been fulfilled
failbool-Whether the goal has failed (hidden)
clearbooltrueEnable to clear the goal (hidden)
activebooltrueWhether the goal is active (hidden)
attentionbooltrueWhether the goal blinks in UI for attention (hidden)

Output Pins

Standard flow output only.

Key Methods

MethodDescription
workOnce()Triggers SetTasklistTask guihook with all pin values

How It Works

  1. On execution, workOnce() fires the SetTasklistTask guihook with a table containing clear, label, subtext, done, fail, active, id, type, and attention.
  2. If no identifier is provided, defaults to "__" .. self.id.
  3. The type field is always "goal".

Usage Example

-- Trigger a tasklist task via guihooks directly:
guihooks.trigger("SetTasklistTask", {
  label = "Reach the checkpoint",
  subtext = "Drive to the marked location",
  done = false,
  fail = false,
  active = true,
  id = "checkpoint_1",
  type = "goal",
  attention = true,
  clear = false,
})

-- To clear a task:
guihooks.trigger("SetTasklistTask", {
  id = "checkpoint_1",
  clear = true,
})

Key Dependencies

  • guihooks.trigger("SetTasklistTask", ...) - sends task data to the tasklist app UI
