-====== Scripting Commands ======
-There's a lot of cool scripts (functions) available in Modules.pbo - especially under "Functions" and even an multiplayer Framework in "MP".
-Since ArmA 2 you must first initialize a variable before you reference it in your scripts. In ArmA, it was not a problem, at least for conditions.
-<code cpp>
-// this will error if myBoolean was not previously defined.
-if (myBoolean) then { hint "test" };
-</code>
-Usage of isNil is still valid.

-====== taskHint.sqf ======

-How to make task hints
-taskHint is relatively useless itself (because it requires too much effort), but there is a script that makes it easier to use. So instead of executing a hint, do this:
-<code cpp>
-[objNull, objNull, tskExample1, "SUCCEEDED"] execVM "CA\Modules\MP\data\scriptCommands\taskHint.sqf";
-</code>
-The first 2 arguments are useless so i just send objNull, the 3rd is the task that you've created, and the 4th is the status.
-Supported task states: "CREATED", "CURRENT", "CANCELED", "SUCCEEDED" and "FAILED".
-  * This command does not set the state of the task, so you still need to do this command, and the setTaskState command in your trigger.
-  * It creates the hint in the middle of the screen, not at the right side (this means that taskHint and hint can be used at the same time).
