It is possilble to add new (user defined) mission tasks to every level.
Following will add a new test task to the level "Hotel". The aim is to kill the hotel manager.

Steps:
0. Unpack the content of the archive levels.vfs and rename the file to levels.vfs.org (You need of course the unpaker for vfs... Can be found in this board.)

1. Add task string to "MissionText -Array.
kill_manager = "Kill the hotel manager.";

2. Add the following task definition to the end of the function "Level.OnLoaded:

Level.AddMissionTask( MissionText.kill_manager, 'id_km', "levels\\hotel\\km.txt" );
Level.AddActionHandler( Level.AH_ACTOR_KILLED , "HM03" , "OnKilledManager");

3. Create-Event-Handler (New Funktion) at the end of the hotel.lua

function Level.OnKilledManager()
Level.CompleteMissionTask( "id_km" );
Level.RemoveMissionTask('id_km');
end

4. Create a briefing textfile "km.txt" with text.

I've managed to add the new task to the mission but if I save and load the task gets duplicated every time. I had a look at the OnSave function but didn't know how to modify it. Could someone help me solve this problem?
