Objective System

An objective is a high-level game mission represented by a hierarchy of different components:

Objectives
    Objective 1
        Step 0
            Task 0.1
            Task 0.2
            Verifications
                Infrastructure Request 1
                Required Resorces
        Step 1
            Task 1.1
            Task 1.2
        ...
    Objective 2
        ...
    ...
---------------------------------------------
Infrastructure Requests
    Infrastructure Request 1
        Piping 1
    Infrastructure Request 2
     ...
---------------------------------------------
Pipings
    Piping 1
    Piping 2
    ...

Navigating and Troubleshooting

Use Find in project to navigate the objectives / infrastructure requests lists.

Use Links Validator to ensure that all cross-links in objectives and infrastructure requests are valid.

Use Debug UI to test your objectives.

Term	Description
Objective	A high-level mission that consists of smaller steps.
Step	Steps are the objective stages that should be completed consecutively, for example: Find and deliver Object 1. Collect additional resources. Build something that requires Object 1 and collected resources. Steps consist of tasks and/or verifications.
Task	Task is the smallest unit of the objective system. Tasks within the same step can be completed in any order. There are several types of tasks: go to the location, find an object, bring an object to the location, and so on. Warning Every task must have a corresponding TaskBasedVerification, otherwise, the task completion would not be tracked.
Verification	Verification is used to check the state of game events or the player's inventory, for example: Has the task been completed? Has an Infrastructure Request been completed? Does the player have enough of some resource?
Infrastructure Request	Special request to fix something: conduct electricity, build a road, fix the piping. Warning Every task must have a corresponding Verification, otherwise, the request completion will not be tracked.
Actions	Actions can be triggered: on start of an objective, on finish of a step, as a reward. Examples: give money to the player, spawn a truck, unlock a bridge.
Rewards	XP, money, resources that the player can get for completing a step or an objective.
