Quests... oh the joy.... I rarely use quests in maps, but then again I never make single player maps where quests would be involved anyways.

Step 1: Initialize your quest(s)

Make your Quests
    Events
        Map initialization
    Conditions
    Actions
        Quest - Create a Required, undiscovered quest titled First Quest with the description The Description, using icon path ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNAmbush.blp
        Quest - Create a quest requirement for (Last created quest) with the description Requirement for the...
        Quest - Create a defeat condition with the description Defeat condition de...
        Set quests[0] = (Last created quest)
        -------- REPEAT FOR OTHER QUESTS --------

Now you should have ~3 triggers per quest that relate to that quest. These include:

Discovery (triggered by the discovery event, uses "Quest - Mark Quest as Discovered") (you may also want to flash the quest discovery icon at that point)
Completion (triggered by completion event, uses "Quest - Mark Quest as Completed")
Failure (only if the quest can be failed, usese "Quest - Mark Quest as Failed")

Also, if it is a required quest, the Failure trigger should include a line that defeats the player at that time.

Oh thx. Anyway, its not a single player map, its an rpg. Thx tho

Oh, be careful then if you have to make the quest available to multiple people... Also I forgot to mention, I used an array of quests so that you can access them later on after they've been initialized... but I'm guessing you picked up opn that anyways.

Although obvious, declare all your variables in one trigger. That way, you dont get errors.

What are you talking about? Variables can be set anywhere you want...

 

[ChrisH36]

It just makes life easier if all your declarations are in one spot. So you don't have to scramble through triggers looking for variable type problems. Because, if you have like 100+ triggers and its a small problem. Then you don't want to scramble through your triggers finding your variable values.

I know they can be declared anywhere. Just saying it makes life easier on heavy triggered maps to do that.

I'll write you up a guide when I get home from school, in about 2 and a half hours.
