preLaunchTask to build using cmaketools in settings.json

I’ve tried using a build task but I couldnt get it to work. Is there any way to do this currently?

	"configurations": [
		{
			"name": "RelWithDebug",
			"type": "cppvsdbg",
			"request": "launch",
			"program": "${workspaceFolder}/Program/Etterna-release-symbols.exe",
			"args": [],
			"stopAtEntry": false,
			"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
			"environment": [],
			"externalConsole": true
		},
		{
			"name": "Release",
			"type": "cppvsdbg",
			"request": "launch",
			"program": "${workspaceFolder}/Program/Etterna.exe",
			"args": [],
			"stopAtEntry": false,
			"cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
			"environment": [],
			"externalConsole": true
		}
	]
}

This is what i currently have for settings.

If you are using the CMake Tools debug feature (via the status bar or the command), a build will be triggered by an out of date state. If you use a launch.json then no.
