Can this trigger be simplified? (I don't think it can)

Help with quest-making (trying to make one like the black road rpg)

I'm looking for a good tutorial for creating quests for my rpg the way that 'The Black Road' has their quests

i.e. If it is a 'kill x number of monsters' then it will show on the left side of the screen each time you kill that monster like 1/5, 2/5, etc

any quest system you feel is the best one you've come across I'd appreciate if you linked me to learn.

This system I created is meant to work for multiplayer, where player A clicks on a chain quest from an npc (Theodus) and only players within 250 AOE of the npc will also get the quest, if not they have to go click on him on their own and they have to do the quest separately (creep kills from player A wont count for player B if player B didnt get the quest at the same time as A).

My issue: Once the first quest is done (killing satyrs), the next quest (killing kobolds) wont trigger for some reason.

I have many arrays and booleans and I believe I need them all in order to make the kind of complex questing system I have here. ANy help?

In your first trigger (Theodus Quests), you're using Number of (Owner of (Triggering Unit)). -This won't work.
If, for example, Player 1 (Red) owns this unit - the number will be 1. If, more likely, Neutral Passive owns this unit the number will be something like 14 or 15. -For ALL players.
I suggest you change it to (Triggering Player), like this:

Trigger:

Set HasSatyrQuest[(Player number of (Triggering Player)] = True

In your second trigger you've got a crazy Player Group and Unit Group -action.
Instead of displaying to Player 1 (Red), Player 2 (Blue), Player 3 (Teal), etc, try this:

Trigger:

Unit Group - Pick every unit in KillSatyrs_PlayerGroup[(Integer A)] and do (Actions)
- Loop - Actions
- Game - Display to Player Group - (Picked Player) the text: (Satyrs Killed + ((String(SatyrKills[(Integer A)])) + ( / + 10)))

Trigger:

Unit Group - Pick every unit in KillSatyrs_PlayerGroup[(Integer A)] and do (Actions)
- Loop - Actions
- Quest - Display to Player Group - (Owner of (Picked unit)) the Quest Update message: You have shown your...
- Quest - Mark Quest1[(Player number of (Owner of (Picked unit)))] as Completed

Same thing in the third trigger.
Fix these errors and post your new triggers (if it still doesn't work). Then, at least, it will be easier to find out what's not working properly.

I havent tested it in multiplayer yet but I'm able to do the first quest and then the second one like a chain (the way I wanted it to be). And I cant' do the second one without doing the first one first.

Can I get some suggestions on additional features I can add?

I don't know the capabilities of quest systems I'm really new at everything here.

Things I had in mind:
- Showing players how much of the current quest they've done ?

I just noticed this:

Trigger:

Kill 10 Satyrs
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Dies
- Conditions
  - And - All (Conditions) are true
    - Conditions
      - (Unit-type of (Dying unit)) Equal to Satyr
- Actions

Might as well be this:

Trigger:

Kill 10 Satyrs
- Events
  - Unit - A unit Dies
- Conditions
  - (Unit-type of (Dying unit)) Equal to Satyr
- Actions

>Showing players how much of the current quest they've done
-You can do this by adding:

Code:

Quest - Display to (Player group((Owner of (Picked unit)))) the Quest Update message: (SatyrKills[(Integer A)]) + / 10 Satyrs killed.)

in the 'Kill 10 Satyrs' trigger.

Notice: You must also add a 'Unit Group' - action to actually pick units.

-I expect it's because of you mixing loops with unit and player groups.

Probably the same as above, move it outside them loops of yours.

Okay I understand that the loop is the problem here because it's creating x many satyr quests according to how many people are within 512 units of the npc. The problem with moving it out of the loop means that its going to keep creating the same quest as many times as you click on the npc...

-Unless, of course, you put it in an 'If / Then / Else', and add a condition to it.

marvey323 · Feb 23, 2009

I got the part fixed where its showing the quest multiple times but now another issue came up where the second quest can be spammed unlimited times.

Well I'm grateful for you spending time with me but I think after over nearly 10 hours of trying to figure this out it is just is way beyond me. I'll just scrap the idea of having quests on my map.

marvey323 · Feb 23, 2009

oKAY SOMEONE has to know how to fix this !!! I can't create any quests right now if I can't fix this issue!

The problem: Satyr quest involving killing 10 satyrs causes all players on the map to do the quest at the same time. I know why this is happening but i dont know how to resolve it. So say Player A goes afk for 10 minutes and then comes back and player B is done that quest. When player A clicks on the npc to start it, he's already finished it because quest1ticker is working the same for both players. How can I fix this?

Somewhere in that second trigger I need to add something like this: Killing unit is in unit group KillSatyrs_PlayerGroup[x] but I can't find the options to do it.. is it even doable?

Please and thank you... I've been spending toooo much time on just this.

marvey323 · Feb 23, 2009

How do you create a quest for ONLY the person clicking on the npc ?

Whenever I add

Trigger:

Quest - Create a Required quest titled Invasion of Satyrs with the description Satyrs have invaded..., using icon path ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNAmbush.blp

It is creating the quest for every single player on the map regardless if they are near the npc or not...

Full trigger:

Trigger:

Theodus Satyr Quest
- Events
  - Unit - Theodus 0108 <gen> Is selected
- Conditions
- Actions
  - Set PositionofTheodus = (Position of Theodus 0108 <gen>)
  - Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
  - Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 512.00 of PositionofTheodus matching (((Owner of (Matching unit)) Not equal to Player 11 (Dark Green)) and (((Owner of (Matching unit)) Not equal to Neutral Hostile) and ((((Matching unit) is A Hero) Equal to True) and ((HasSatyrQuest[(Player nu and do (Actions)
    - Loop - Actions
      - Set MyPlayerGroup = (Player group((Owner of (Picked unit))))
      - Unit Group - Add (Picked unit) to KillSatyrs_PlayerGroup
      - Sound - Play QuestNew <gen>

      - Set HasSatyrQuest[(Player number of (Owner of (Picked unit)))] = True
      - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        
        If - Conditions
        
        And - All (Conditions) are true
        
        Conditions
        
        HasSatyrQuest[(Player number of (Owner of (Picked unit)))] Equal to True
        
        HasSatyrQuestStarted[(Player number of (Owner of (Picked unit)))] Equal to False
        
        Then - Actions
        
        Quest - Create a Required quest titled Invasion of Satyrs with the description Satyrs have invaded..., using icon path ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNAmbush.blp
        
        Set Quest1[(Player number of (Owner of (Picked unit)))] = (Last created quest)
        
        Set HasSatyrQuestStarted[(Player number of (Owner of (Picked unit)))] = True
        
        Trigger - Turn on Kill 10 Satyrs <gen>
        
        Else - Actions
  - Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_PositionofTheodus)

Before you say that it's because I have it in a unit group loop I know this isn't the case because players are getting the quest even if they are not within 512 range of that npc.

Cheesy · Feb 23, 2009

The action has nothing to do with the rest of the loop. Creating a quest does so for all players, regardless of where you place it.

As far as I know that is...

marvey323 · Feb 23, 2009

So player A clicks on Theodus.. player A gets quest to kill Satyrs.

5 min later player B comes back from being AFK and clicks on Theodus.

Now player A has 2 quests of killing Satyrs... Ugh.

How come this problem doesn't exist in other RPG maps I've been in? I think I have to somehow disable the quest if it has been triggered more than once or something ?

mgsfan18 · Feb 24, 2009

You need to do is add a trigger making sure that the player activating the quest is the only player activating this action

Quest - Create a Required quest titled Invasion of Satyrs with the description Satyrs have invaded..., using icon path ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNAmbush.blp

I KNOW what to do.

I DON'T KNOW how to do it !

And what you said right there didn't really explain much. 'Create a Required quest is creating it for every single player'.

Thanks for trying.

mango · Feb 24, 2009

couldnt you create a seperate trigger for each character? :

event - player owned unit enters region
actions - create quest for player

or am i missing something important...?

Redeamed · Feb 24, 2009

for some reason quests are not player individual (from what I've found)...I think you can create the quest for everyone but hide it from players that have yet to discover it...if not make a variable that must be active to complete the quest this way the quest would exist for everyone but when they click on the quest giver they get the variable activated to allow them to do the quest. Ill play around with it a bit and see what else i can come up with.

Exide · Feb 24, 2009

>Killing unit is in unit group KillSatyrs_PlayerGroup[x]
You can't have a unit in a Player Group. However, you can check if the Owner of that unit is in the Player Group.

I suggest you change your quest triggers so that players can't share kills. No matter how close they are to the quest giver, when another player clicks on him.
-Easier to code that way.

Can this trigger be simplified? (I don't think it can)
