The [`task_complete`] event is fired when an asynchronous task completes. This is usually handled inside the function call that queued the task; however, functions such as [`commands.execAsync`] return immediately so the user can wait for completion.
## Return Values
1. [`string`]: The event name.
2. [`number`]: The ID of the task that completed.
3. [`boolean`]: Whether the command succeeded.
4. [`string`]: If the command failed, an error message explaining the failure. (This is not present if the command succeeded.)
5. <abbr title="Variable number of arguments">&hellip;</abbr>: Any parameters returned from the command.
## Example
Prints the results of an asynchronous command:
```lua
local taskID = commands.execAsync("say Hello")
local event
repeat
event = {os.pullEvent("task_complete")}
until event[2] == taskID
if event[3] == true then
print("Task " .. event[2] .. " succeeded:", table.unpack(event, 4))
else
print("Task " .. event[2] .. " failed: " .. event[4])
end
```
