Scripts

Even the progress stages cannot be endless; if you start a map from the beginning, all progress for all tasks will be reset to zero, but if you load saves, the values of script variables will also be saved, right?

I just don't understand, you're talking about restarting the map, but in Shades of Darkness, does the progress of tasks persist after restarting the map? No, of course not. So, what kind of storage of local data in tasks can we be talking about?
