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.getPedSimplestTaskReturns the name of the most recently set task (across all layers), i.e. what the ped is doing right now according to scripts.
