[General] How to make it so quests are only visible to a certain player?

[sethmachine]

Hi,

How do I make it so a quest is only visible in the F9 log to the player who unlocked/started it?

I'm looking at the API for making quests but there's nothing that takes a Player or pid as an argument...

I believe you can use GetLocalPlayer block.

I believe you can use GetLocalPlayer block.

I have no idea what that is. Could you clarify?

Say I have some quest q. Only player n should be able to see it. How would I go about this?

When you create the quest, just disable it globally:

local quest q = CreateQuest()
call QuestSetEnabled(q, false)

You can locally enable it:

if GetLocalPlayer() == Player(0) then
    call QuestSetEnabled(q, true) // enables only for player(0), a.k.a. Player 1 (Red)
endif

For whichever players you want. You'll also probably want to set a boolean, depending on the player you enable the quest for:

if GetLocalPlayer() == Player(0) then
    call QuestSetEnabled(q, true)
endif
set qenabled[0] = true // the index will be the player ID

That way, you can just check qenabled[GetPlayerId(p)] when you need to check if a player "has" a quest. If you use IsQuestEnabled, it may return different values for different players and you'll run into some strange errors.
