Item Recovery Quests ( with Stacking )

[Gray_Fox]

So i am trying to make an item recovery quest where the player needs to find 4 items in order to complete the quest. I have an item stacking system and so am not sure how to do this trigger, normal item recovery with only 1 item works fine however.

Here's what i got so far.

Obtain Quest

• Cold Nights
  • Events
    • Unit - Ballista Engineer 0160 <gen> Is selected
  • Conditions

Item Counter

• Cold Nights Count
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
  • Conditions
    • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Brown Bear Pelt
  • Actions
    • Set BearPeltCount = (BearPeltCount + 1)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • BearPeltCount Greater than or equal to 4
      • Then - Actions
        • Quest - Mark Find_BearPelts as Completed
        • Quest - Display to (All players) the Quest Update message: Objective Completed...

        • Set Return_To_Engineer = (Last created quest requirement)
        • Trigger - Turn on Cold Nights Complete <gen>
        • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
      • Else - Actions

Complete Quest

• Cold Nights Complete
  • Events
    • Unit - Ballista Engineer 0160 <gen> Is selected
  • Conditions
    • (Charges remaining in (Item carried by Player1 of type Brown Bear Pelt)) Greater than or equal to 4

Hey there,
in your second trigger when he requires all 4 try adding a boolean.

• Set ExampleBoolean = true

Then check if in the final trigger, but also instead of charges remaining do it this way, its more ifs. But it will help

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • ExampleBoolean equal to (==) true
  • Then - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Charges remaining in (Item carried by Player1 of type Brown Bear Pelt)) Greater than or equal to 4
      • Then - Actions
        • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
        • Game - Display to (All players) the text: |c0000FF40Ballista ...
        • Quest - Mark Return_To_Engineer as Completed
        • Quest - Mark Cold_Nights as Completed
        • Quest - Display to (All players) the Quest Completed message: Quest Completed
        • Hero - Add 500 experience to Player1, Show level-up graphics
        • Else - Actions
  • Else - Actions

Its okay,
Just never be afraid to ask a question.
Lately i've been watching these forum topic, so im always around.

Hmm, is there some kind of law that i can only use that Boolean trick just once?
I made another item recovery quest, the trigger is identical excpet ofcourse different variables, different items needed and such.
But it just doesn't work :S

Well if you want you can index the boolean,
But is your quest do-able by one person, or all people at once,
If it is all people at once. Then you can just one variable and index it like so

• Set ExampleBoolean[1] = True

or if your doing for each player

• Set QuestnameBoolean[(Player number of ([Triggering Player))] = true

Well if your doing per player, Would be a good idea to set a TempVariable to playernumber.

• Set TempNumber = (Player number of (Triggering Player))
• Set QuestnameBoolean[TempNumber] = true

It's Single Player game so it doesn't really matter ^^

Ohh okay
What you can do is set Prefixs to certain quests
1 = A quest
2 = another
so it would be

• Set ExampleBoolean[1] = True
• set ExampleBoolean[2] = False

So each quest has a different number, so now we put it in a trigger

• Conditions
  • ExampleBoolean[2] = True
• Actions
  • Game - Display Message to (Player) bla bla bla.
  • ------ Obviosuly you would change the two to what ever number you want, but make sure to make it true once the quest requirements are met. -----

Sorry for Necroposting but i don't wanna make a thread bout the same thing.
Anyway the triggers worked for a while and now they just stopped working O.O
I have no idea what i did or whats causing this, i used an array like you said.
A different array nr. for each quest.
Here's but one of many item recovery quests that stopped working.

trigger

• Delicous Rockberries Count
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Acquires an item
  • Conditions
    • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Delicous Rockberry
  • Actions
    • Set Rockberry_Count = (Rockberry_Count + 1)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Rockberry_Count Greater than or equal to 6
      • Then - Actions
        • Set B_ItemRecovery[1] = True
        • Quest - Mark Gather_Rockberry as Completed
        • Quest - Display to (All players) the Quest Update message: Objective Completed...
        • Quest - Create a quest requirement for Q_Delicous_Rockberries with the description Return the berries ...
        • Set Return_Alchemist = (Last created quest requirement)
        • Trigger - Turn on Delicous Rockberries Complete <gen>
        • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
      • Else - Actions

Anyway that's the Counting trigger, only showing this hence i figured it's the most important one.
