Just to give you a quick example of how i did some quests in one of my rpgs I'll post this here for you.

I did it quick to begin with and didnt remove unitgroup or playergroup leaks but im sure you know how to do that..

This is an example of you talking to 1 soldier and getting a job then completing the job and returning for your reward:

This is the text in the first transmission:

Hello starting hero. I have a job for you to do. To the |cff7777aaEast|r is a group of |cff7777aaHelpless Dreanei Guardians.|r Although I could send out some of the guards we need them positioned north. Go now and kill 20 of them.

This is the text in that last transmission:

Thanks, we should now be able to move freely from here to the Desert without the dreanei in the way.
|cff7777aaReward : 150 xp (all heroes)|r

Hope I helped

Also theres other ways to do this that dont stop all players from doing stuff but this is a pretty typical way of doing things.. Also i has another trigger that is turned on when these are player to warn player not to press esc during them, they have 1 warning then if they keep pressing Esc they are kicked from the game, reason i did this is because the way i made the transmission if they pressed esc the spoken text would go away but the scene would keep talking with nothing to read, it was lame. That fixed the problem fast needless to say xD

(for your situation just give the reward or xp and/or gold to the owner of triggering unit that returned *not to all picked player* also i was lazy so didnt bother to clean the group leaks lol)

GunSlinger · Jul 4, 2010

sorry but thats not what i wanted but +rep for trying to help me.
What i wanted was this:
a unit buys a quest at a shop then the quest will appear at the quest tab but can only be completed by the owner of the buying unit.

Bond009 · Jul 4, 2010

Ok i'll get back on that, you want it to not be available to anyone else after he buys it? and only he can do the mission alone?

GunSlinger · Jul 4, 2010

yah thats it

Bond009 · Jul 4, 2010

I wasnt sure if you want it to be a multi unit kill mission or not, but if so its much easier than the middle trigger i send you. You just make a trigger that if that guy dies missions over.. etc.

Edit: Oh btw the item acquired is the actually quest in the quest givers selling list

GunSlinger · Jul 5, 2010

ok both of you are correct but for bond after I bought the quest then my friend also bought the quest but my friend can't do the quest because i already have it, i need the quest to be doable by other players who bought it even at the same time. as for infinate when i bought the quest but he didn't he can still complete the quest, i need the quest to be only completed by the buying unit and doable by other players who bought it, at the same time.
if you still don't understand me try playing twilight's eve with your friends.

InfinateAnswers · Jul 5, 2010

Well if your willing to create a few variables. First make an array variable for all the players in the game. It will require a few multi actions.

Actions
- If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  - If - Conditions
    - PlayerVariable[1] Equal to 0.00
    - Owner of (Unit of item being manipulated) equal to Player 1
  - Then - Actions
    - Game - Display to Player 1 the text: |c0000ff00Quest add...
    - Item - Remove (Item being manipulated)
    - Quest - Create a Optional quest titled Scientists Shopping... with the description Gather 5 Wolf brain..., using icon path ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNPhoenixEgg.blp
    - Set QuestVariable = (Last created quest)
    - Set PlayerVariable[1] = 1.00
    - Set QuestCount[1] = 5
    - Else - Actions
      - Item - Remove (Item being manipulated)

You have to recreate this for each player with an array +1 for the different players this should fix the choosing a quest and it being seperate. But you also have to change the other triggers to match this one with the arrays.

Owner of (Killing unit) equal to Player 1-10(or whatever players u have)

Is needed in the second one as seperate multi actions so just add that into the multi action in the second trigger and reproduce it for each player
Is need and youll need a new variable for the completion with an array and mutli actions in the 3rd to give the reward to only the completer. If you dont know what to change to array just post what you made so far with what i gave you and ill tell you what to change.

GunSlinger · Jul 6, 2010

uuumm pls check if what im saying is correct:
i have to create 1 1st trigger(with the changes in your last post) for each player.

InfinateAnswers · Jul 6, 2010

1 of those first triggers and a multi action stating what i posted earlier for each player.
