Quest Help

[elfin8er]

I'm making a game, and I want a quest where the player has to destroy three farms. I want it to be in a region, so the player doesn't go off, and destroy other farms. How would I make this in the trigger editor?

• Untitled Trigger 010
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Region 000 <gen> contains (Triggering unit)) Equal to (==) True
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to (==) Farm
  • Actions
    • Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • i Equal to (==) 2
      • Then - Actions
        • *complete quest*
        • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
      • Else - Actions
        • Set i = (i + 1)

Make the trigger initially off, turn it on when you get the quest. i is an integer variable. This completes when you kill three farms.

I'll give it a try

• Untitled Trigger 010
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Region 000 <gen> contains (Triggering unit)) Equal to (==) True
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to (==) Farm
  • Actions
    • Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • i Equal to (==) 2
      • Then - Actions
        • *complete quest*
        • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
      • Else - Actions
        • Set i = (i + 1)

Make the trigger initially off, turn it on when you get the quest. i is an integer variable. This completes when you kill three farms.

Ok, I'll give it a try.

I sort of get it.

I sort of get it, but I'm a bit of a noob, so can you explain it better?

Can you post the trigger you got now? So they can be compared.
Just use ''copy as text'' on your trigger, and paste it here: [trigger ] ''text'' [/trigger ].

I don't have anything in my trigger yet. I'm a bit of a noob, so maybe I'm looking at the wrong thing. I do have a trigger that gives you the quest.

• Quest 1
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Quest - Display to (All players) the Quest Discovered message: Kill three peons
    • Quest - Create a Optional quest titled Just Starting Out with the description Kill 3 Peons, using icon path ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNPeon.blp

Hello elfin8er,

You seem kinda new here? Just a few things. Try not to double post, use the "Edit" button instead. Also, if you are still new to triggers why don't you try some simpler stuff. Play around with the editor and see how things work. Or you can check out the Tutorials page here on the hive.

Also, Quest - Create only creates the UI in the Quest Dialog, (The dialog next to the Menu tab on the top left) To actually make a quest you need to trigger it.

Do you know how to use variables?

First off, when did I double post? Second, I've already played around with triggers, and made a few things with them. I know what a variable does, and kinda how to use it, I just can't figure out how to add to a variable, only set the variable. Lastly, I know Quest - Create only creates the UI in the Quest Dialog. I just put that to show the user their quest.

I just can't figure out how to add to a variable

When setting the value, select Arithmetic from the function list.

Look at post #3 and #4, they are both yours.

• Quest 1
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Quest - Display to (All players) the Quest Discovered message: Kill three peons
    • Quest - Create a Optional quest titled Just Starting Out with the description Kill 3 Peons, using icon path ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNPeon.blp

1. Don't create a quest at map initialization, it can cause bugs (like disconnects in multiplayer games) Replace the event by

• Time - Elpased Game Time is 0.00 seconds.

2. Like some peoles said, you need to store the quest into a variable.
3. The quest creation trigger :

• Quest 1
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed Game Time is 0.00seconds.
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Quest - Display to (All players) the Quest Discovered message: Kill three peons
    • Quest - Create a Optional quest titled Just Starting Out with the description Kill 3 Peons, using icon path ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNPeon.blp
    • Set Quest_KillPeon = (Last created quest)

4. Now you need to use the Maker's Trigger :

• Untitled Trigger 010
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Region 000 <gen> contains (Triggering unit)) Equal to (==) True
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to (==) Farm
  • Actions
    • Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • i Equal to (==) 2
      • Then - Actions
        • Quest - Mark Quest_KillPeon as Finished
        • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
      • Else - Actions
        • Set i = (i + 1)

Just a tip :
For create a new variable, you need to go in the Variable Editor. (by making Ctrl+B in Trigger Editor or clicking on the cross in the toolbar of the Trigger Editor. And in the little window, you can configure variables, create new variables, change variables types, etc...

Oh. Sorry. People do it all the time on other forums.
