Task/Objective types

Detailed explanation of the currently available task types

Everywhere you see the your_task_id text, you need to replace that with some unique text. Do not use the same IDs in the same quest file! Task placeholders are also generated based on this ID.

If you want to match any type, use types: [] or don't even write types in the args section. If you want types to be a blacklist, add mode: blacklist to your args.
