setPedTaskStores a "task" for a ped in a chosen layer, e.g.primary="enterVehicle", together with any data. It is a mechanism for scripts (e.g. your own NPC AI): the game does not carry out stored tasks by itself, but other scripts can read them withgetPedTask,getPedTasks,isPedDoingTaskandgetPedSimplestTask. Passingnilas the name clears the task from the layer.isPedDoingTaskChecks whether any of a ped's task layers holds a task with the given name (stored bysetPedTaskor by functions such assetPedEnterVehicle, which storeenterVehicle).
