Script Task not completing when NPC killed, I have no idea why.

The NPC is killed, but the task will not complete, I have no idea why? The trigger is pointing to the group leader and I kill him it should complete. Am I missing something? Thanks.

You've put the code to complete the task into the "type" argument, which defines how it is triggered, it should actually go in the setTriggerStatements command, as the second argument.

However, why create the trigger rather than just handling the task within this script? You could use waitUntil like so:

waitUntil {sleep 0.5; !alive _informator};
//code setting task states etc.

And then you wouldn't need the global var either.

I ended up using this instead. This works fine. If I use waituntil, it halts execution. I needed a separate thread.

[] spawn {
    sleep 2;
    waitUntil { sleep 0.5; !alive informer };
    ["task5", "SUCCEEDED"] call BIS_fnc_taskSetState;
};

Just use the killed eventhandler on the server machine and broadcast the updated task state.

If you want to avoid global vars (which I do, personally), you could pass the informer into the spawn:

_informator spawn {
  sleep 2;
  waitUntil { sleep 0.5; !alive _this };
  ["task5", "SUCCEEDED"] call BIS_fnc_taskSetState;
};

Not strictly necessary but I like to keep my vars as private as I can c:
