Help, please!

I've been having problems... I'm relatively new to Mapping, and I've been trying to do some quest triggering for a campaign I'm working on. But, see, here's my problem - I can't get the triggers to work! I can make a quest, but, only as far as showing up in the log. Finishing the quest, and/or marking off quest requirements, doesn't seem to work. I've Googled several tutorials, but they haven't been extremely helpful. I've only really learned to apply the Variable to the main quest.
I'd also like a little help with campaign triggers... but for now, I'm really focused on quests...

Thanks a TON in advance!!

You should try making a Boolean variable to make your quest "active"..
so make 1 variable that is Boolean and name it Quest1 then when quest is picked you just set Quest1 to be True... and then you should make a variable that is Integer and call it Goal1 and set it to 0 when quest is picked.. Then make another trigger that will be update for quest..
Example: u have to kill 5 wolves...
Update trigger will do:
When wolf dies and if Quest1 is True Goal 1 will be (Goal1 +1)
and make trigger that will complete the quest like:
When wolf dies and Goal1 is greater than or equal to 5 Quest1 will be False and Quest will be completed...
Hope i helped you

It would help if you posted your map or your triggers. For the triggers, in case you don't know, right click the trigger title and "copy as text" and then put it on here between trigger tags.

I know how to post triggers ...

Look at how quests are done in the blizzard campaigns. To do this you may need to extract them from the data MPQs WC3 uses found at its install path.

@aki15, I think I got what you said. I've been making all my quests "Quest" variables, so, from what you've said I guess you mean to choose a "Boolean" variable, right? Well, hmm. I am slightly confused... I've always had difficulty with just reading instructions, always done really well with visual examples.
@GoGoTauren, I know. I apologize, I deleted it by accident, my computer got really buggy, so I un-installed Warcraft, and I re-installed it, and got it working again. But, my map was gone when I got it back... sometimes I can be really careless. I'll see if I have the time to re-make the triggers sometime later. If it helps, I was using about 3-4 triggers for the quest, (1 to discover, another for requirements, and another for completion). Also, I was intending to do a Build-A-Base quest. The buildings, and units, were all custom.
@Dr Super Good, yes... well as I said, I'm a newb with mapping... How would I go about extracting these maps from the MPQ's?

In any case, thanks for all the help, everyone! It's much appreciated. (Also, aki - I believe GoGoTauren was asking me to post my map/triggers.)

Dr Super Good, thanks a ton! I found an MPQ extractor, and have been looking at the triggers. It's helping a ton, hopefully I'll have my campaign finished sometime in the next month. Again, thanks!
I'll credit you guys when I upload it,
+Rep to all!
