Multiple Quests

[JCL]

I decided to add another quest to an NPC.

Now I was curious for spawn scripts, do I use multiple for one npc or do I fit it all in one. I could not get either way to work and allow for multiple quests. This is the same was if the a target conversation NPC already has a script.

Use only one spawn script per spawn. You can easily set up conversations that give different quests based on the players selections.

I usually handle NPCs who interact with you on more than a single quest like this:

Let's say:
quest1 id = 1
quest2 id = 2

my spawnscript would look something like this:

Code: Select all

function hailed(NPC, Spawn)
   if HasCompletedQuest(Spawn, 1) then
      if HasCompletedQuest(Spawn, 2) then
         -- completed both quests
      elseif HasQuest(Spawn, 2) then
         -- completed quest 1, has quest 2
      else
         -- completed quest 1, does not have quest 2
   elseif HasQuest(Spawn, 1) then
         -- has quest 1
   else
      -- has no quests, has not completed either
   end
end

Hmm, yeah that way seems good, I'll give that a try.

Edit: That way gave quite a few "end" errors at "elseif" that I couldn't fix.

I did find a way to get the second quest in though.

Lol ya sorry I forgot the second "end" in the nested if statement. Leave it to me to forget ends or parenthesis's.

I am submitting a patent for what I call "ScatScript".

These are scripts that usually have a beginning, a middle, but no end.

Thanks for the second End lol.

Yeah I said I got it working, then I remembered I forgot to make it so the quests completes when you turn it back in after the step updates. I added that in and got more end errors near "else" and "if". It's really fun trying to fix that :/... LUA is kind of annoying.
