Giving quest to a single player

[Etzer]

Hi.
I am making a map, as you can see everywhere, and i will make tons of quests, i just have a problem, the quest is given to ALL players. Is it possible to give it to (Owner of unit (triggering unit))?

 

[Pharaoh_]

I will try to make a non-desync-able way, although it's not tested, so try this out. I will actually make the string name local, not the quest itself, so

• Set Q_Name = Quest Title
• Set Q_Description = Quest Description
• Set Q_IconPath = ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNAmbush.blp
• Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit())
• Set Q_Name = <Empty String>
• Set Q_Description = <Empty String>
• Set Q_IconPath = <Empty String>
• Custom script: endif
• Quest - Create a Required quest titled Q_Name with the description Q_Description, using icon path Q_IconPath

For the "<Empty string>", just press Enter (=type nothing).

Thanks for quick answer. Will test it now, although i understand nearly nothing.
Is Q_Name a real, integer or is there a Quest variable?

 

[Pharaoh_]

It's a String variable. The Q_Name variable will replace the Quest Name of the Quest - Create Quest action. The Q_Description will replace the "Description" of this same action and the field that requires the icon path will be given through the Q_IconPath variable. All of them are Strings.

Theres a missing "then" after (GetTriggerUnit())
It should be:

• Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()) then

 

[Pharaoh_]

• if GetLocalPlayer() == GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit())

I'm sorry, you need to add a "then" there, I forgot so.

• if GetLocalPlayer() == GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()) then

MortAr- found it already

 

[Etzer]

Ahhh haha.
Well, tested, and the quest did in fact show up BUT, with a green icon, no title, or description, but it is a start

I thougth myself that i should change empty string to my things?

 

[Pharaoh_]

Hm, Use this:

• Quest - Create a Optional quest titled Journey to Honor Hold with the description Travel to Honor Hold and deliver Durons Report to Marshal Isildor, using icon path ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNTomeOfRetraining.blp
• Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()) then
• Quest - Enable (Last created quest)
• Custom script: endif

 

[Etzer]

Will that still give to one player?

 

[Pharaoh_]

This is how you do it with Multiboards too. You crate a global multiboard and then hide it for the player you want. Try it; if it doesn't work, let me know and I will add an "elseif" to disable the quest for the rest players.

 

[Etzer]

OK.
Just a thing i thought.
The special effect. That is removed during the trigger. Is it possible to remove THAT for the player itself.
And i now understand that it is the Custom Script that is the trigger, not the Quest - Blabla
And in the end it is turned off. Is that for one or all players?

A special effect? Well, you can't destroy handles for players due to desyncs.

You can "kind of" do it by creating the effects locally:

And then just destroying them normally.

For the second part, if the quest is disabled at the end it will disable it for everyone unless you do something like:

• Custom Script: if GetLocalPlayer() == GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()) then
• Quest - Disable (Last Created Quest)
• Custom Script: endif

Just be careful with these blocks. They are very prone to desyncs, but you can avoid most if not all of the problems if you thoroughly read this thread:
http://www.thehelper.net/forums/showthread.php?t=89207

I updated it recently for 1.24 (when they fixed the return bug and added GetHandleId()) as well as fixing some confusing stuff.

 

[Etzer]

i meant the TRIGGER is disabled in the end.

 

[Pharaoh_]

• Custom script: call DisableTrigger (GetTriggeringTrigger())

A simple Trigger - Turn off (This trigger) is the same thing though.

You can also

• Custom script: call DestroyTrigger (GetTriggeringTrigger())

The first one will "Disable" it, while you can still enable it via

• Custom script: call EnableTrigger (gg_trg_TriggerName)

, while the second one will permanently destroy it.

Could Anyone Explain to me how this actually works?

for example, how do you Acquire the quest with these triggers? or do you need seperate triggers for that?

(sorry, im just a basic triggerer, and desperately need help with induvidual quests)

 

[ikillforeyou]

• Hide (Quest)
• Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == Player(number-1) then (number-1, so player 1 red would be 0)
• Show (Quest)
• Custom script: endif
