Questing Difficulties

[Drabstar]

Hi
I am pratically a n00bie to the editor (I do know the basics however like unit position, simple terraining ect.)

I am trying to learn how to use triggers correctly (But never truely understand them and how they work)

My question is how to do a simple quest (in trigger)
*Sorry but I just can't figure it out after trying for the past 3 hours so I said to hell with it and just ask*

I want it to be like this:
(Its quite simple because I want to understand how it works before I go into advance questing)

A footman lost his belt and he wants you to find it in the woods
If you find it the quest will tell you to bring it back to him
Once you do he gives you a Health potion.

here you go

Untitled Trigger 001
    Events
        Unit - A unit comes within 256.00 of No unit
    Conditions
    Actions
        Quest - Create a Optional quest titled Lost Belt with the description Find the belt, using icon path ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNAmbush.blp

Untitled Trigger 002
    Events
        Unit - A unit Acquires an item
    Conditions
        (Item being manipulated) Equal to (Last created item)
    Actions
        Quest - Change the description of (Last created quest) to Take the belt back ...
        Trigger - Turn on (This trigger)

Untitled Trigger 003
    Events

and change the "last created unit" or "no unit"

Unit - A unit comes within 256.00 of No unit

Where is this at in conditions?

 

[mad_man1983]

look in events not in conditions

 

[Hildagarn]

Where is this at in conditions?

Unit within region in events (but change no unit to your footman)

It's ok we all learn ....i am learning so much from TH

A slight problem...

Unit - A unit comes within 256.00 of No unit

This was used twice

When this happens to earn the quest, it gives me the potion before I even complete it

Any suggestions ?

use a boolean to set the quest active = true

next check if the quest boolean is true

then check if the unit has the belt , remove it and give him his potion .

make the second one not inintially on....then when you pick up the belt, turn it on using "trigger turn on"
