does this still work ?
im trying to add a cne to an existing task.

it works fine adding it into the tasks init function
but not from the module init function.

was the code removed that checked the superclass for more cnes ?

Code:
function wim.ModuleInit()

  ke_ntcne = ml_element:create( "ntcne", c_ntcne, e_ntcne, 28)

  ffxiv_task_assist.add(    ke_ntcne, ffxiv_task_assist.process_elements)

end

ffxiv_task_assist.add vs ffxiv_task_assist:add

i had it ffxiv_task_assist:add

Code:
function wim.ModuleInit()

  d(TableSize(ffxiv_task_assist.process_elements)) -- prints 0

  ke_ntcne = ml_element:create( "ntcne", c_ntcne, e_ntcne, 28)

  ffxiv_task_assist:add(    ke_ntcne, ffxiv_task_assist.process_elements)

  d(TableSize(ffxiv_task_assist.process_elements)) -- prints 1

end

it is added.
but its never checked or used?

im guessing this is where it checks the cne list:

Code:
function ml_cne_hub.eval_elements(elementList)

    for k, elem in pairs( elementList ) do

        if (gLogCNE == "1") then

            ml_debug( "Evaluating:" .. tostring( elem.name ) )

        end

        elem.eval = elem:evaluate()

    if (gLogCNE == "1") then

            ml_debug( elem.name .. " evaluation result:" .. tostring( elem.eval ) )

        end

    end

end

i dont know Lua at all but it looks to me
this function is called once only with the instanced version of the object.

Code:
function ml_task:Process()

    if (TableSize(self.process_elements) > 0) then

        ml_cne_hub.clear_queue()

        ml_cne_hub.eval_elements(self.process_elements) --  <<< here

        ml_cne_hub.queue_to_execute()

        ml_cne_hub.execute()

        return false

    else

        ml_debug("no elements in process table")

    end

end

in this thread a dev said he added specific code. i dont see it ?
Is there a new way to do it ?

EDIT:
btw i used to add it like this

Code:
init_ntcne = false

function wim.doPulse( Event, ticks )

  if ml_task_hub:CurrentTask() and not init_ntcne then

    ke_ntcne = ml_element:create( "ntcne", c_ntcne, e_ntcne, 28)

    ml_task_hub:CurrentTask():add(ke_ntcne, ml_task_hub:CurrentTask().process_elements)

    init_ntcne = true

  end

end

which is basically waiting for a task to be created ( by press bot enabled etc.. )
and then add it to that.
but i would much rather have the solution the dev mentioned in this thread

Are you making sure that your module.def has FFXIVMINION as a dependency? It sounds like your module is loading before the FFXIVMINION, because if you look at ffxiv_task_assist, it has something like 8 or 9 process elements.

i want to put cne into a task.
i can only put it in there, once the task is instantiated.

the tasks are coded into an array as class files.
a)bot gets initiated
b)the modules get initiated << here i want to add cne
c)bot starts running / bot sets the mode / instantiates the task << here only can i add cne

and so as a workaround the dev said
"instead of adding it to the instance you can add it to the class file
and the code now looks there for cne's too"

so yes the class file has 0 elements <<< im adding my cne here.
and the instantiated object has 9 or so <<< cant add it here cause it doesnt exist on mudule init.

For what you're trying to do, you need to override the ffxiv_task_assist:Init() function with a copy of your own in your module, with your cne added.

When your module gets loaded, the modified version of the function in your module will be the Init() that gets run.

if they change that function, i would have to reflect that in my copy.
i dont like that. i rather add it at runtime then.

It is what it is. :)
