The function works otherwise fine, expect doesn't return anything on a dedicated server.
_state = toUpper (taskState _taskReal);
if (_state == "") then
{
_state = GET_DATA(_taskVar,STATE);
};
_stateThe if statement should be replaced with
isNil "_state"
as taskState doesn't return an empty string, it returns nothing.

_stateseems like it's issue with taskState not working/returning anything on dedicated server?
Why are you running this on dedicated server? The task commands are designed to work with local player and I would expect on dedicated these commands simply do not exist.
@Dwarden
The issue is the if statement, as it would need to trigger for the function to work on a dedicated server, but it won't as it checks for an empty string that taskState command doesn't ever return.
As for example BIS_fnc_taskCompleted works completely fine on a dedicated server as it's written simply like this:
/*
Author: Jiri Wainar
Description:
Return if a task has been completed.
Parameters:
0: STRING - Task name
Returns:
BOOL - True if the task has been completed, false if not.
Example:
["TestTask"] call bis_fnc_taskCompleted;
*/
#include "defines.hpp"
private ["_taskID","_taskVar","_state"];
_taskID = _this param [0,"",[""]];
_taskVar = _taskID call bis_fnc_taskVar;
if (isNil{GET_DATA_NIL(_taskVar,ID)}) exitwith {["Task '%1' does not exists.",_taskID] call bis_fnc_error; false};
_state = GET_DATA(_taskVar,STATE);
{_x == _state} count ["SUCCEEDED", "FAILED", "CANCELED"] > 0Of course don't know why on BIS_fnc_taskState the definition of _state isn't just written the same way as in BIS_fnc_taskCompleted.

Has been fixed with the new Apex release.
