The create task module has many options to customize tasks

Description

Although a briefing is fully optional, it is the first thing a player sees when playing your mission and there is no second chance for a first impression. There is no *default* briefing in Arma 3, but usually a briefing consists of:

  • Mission
    • What is the mission about, tasks and goals.
  • Situation
    • Some background story, why does the mission happen, what's the big picture?
  • Execution
    • Steps the player is supposed to do chronologically sorted.
  • Signal
    • Call signs of the HQ and groups.
ⓘ
Make sure that your briefing and task texts are free from spelling errors. If in doubt, let someone else proofread them!
