TriggerHappy:

Could be useful.

MortAr · Nov 2, 2009

Post the triggers into the discription.

Anachron · Nov 2, 2009

And tell us the features of the system.

Vengeancekael · Nov 2, 2009

That's not very original, since i already made such a system with less than 5 actions(not sureXD)

Hanky · Nov 2, 2009

You got some leaks in your triggers. Please fix them.

deathdoorway · Nov 2, 2009

Anything with mulitboard isnt much orginal anymore but people if your gonna give him advice like please fix or you have leaks state what he leaked.

Ill help you out once i leave school and open the triggers

X-OMG-X · Nov 2, 2009

Yay finally u uploaded it :xxd:

mjllonir · Nov 3, 2009

Updated map. All triggers in first post, as well as features. I have added some nice coloring so it all fits in well, and I'm sure you guys will like it better

As for the leaks, yes people please tell me where the leaks are, as I probably don't know where they are. Also, if they are for the Player groups and Unit Groups, I'm currently working on getting that fixed...somehow...

Anachron · Nov 3, 2009

Really badass, but I don't know how to do it else with GUI. I would simply stick to an vJass hook at item pickup and such, but yeah, GUI is really awful for quests.

mjllonir · Nov 4, 2009

Am I supposed to take that good or bad? Anyways I dont know anything about Jass, no matter how much I tried it.

Azsure · Nov 11, 2009

Yeah, i was looking for something like this! 4/5

mjllonir · Nov 13, 2009

Well at least one person likes it...But I would like to know what the mods think of this...So there could be things to fix and such.

real138 · Nov 25, 2009

i like it mjllonir useful for many ppl who are lazy to make their own or cant.
gj 5/5 as i havent seen any other quest system on hive.

X-OMG-X · Nov 27, 2009

Okay my other comment wasnt that helpful but i will try again

I didnt see any leaks, so that should be fine.
I dont think the system is MPI as it is using waits a few times.
Try to make it work without the waits, and it will be MPI.
I didnt find any other things in the coding and it seems fine ingame, as it is used in dalanar rpg.

mjllonir · Nov 27, 2009

Updated to v0.3

Fixed a small bug I noticed while looking at it...it would actually cause the game to crash, well it's fixed now so it's no problem.

It uses waits because the floating text would actually go one on top of the other otherwise. And sadly I found another bug in this system that I am currently trying to fix...I just found out about it actually.

hellburke · Nov 28, 2009

This is very interesting and helpful (GUI yay!), I sincerely hope you're able to make it as perfect as possible :xxd:

mjllonir · Nov 28, 2009

Yeah well it's getting there

...slowly but surely.

Menag · Dec 3, 2009

it's ok for GUI user
well i still dont like to use it
2 things,
i dont like group-shared-quests
and i dont like GUI-trigger^^
still 3,5/5 i'll round up

mjllonir · Dec 3, 2009

Well sadly, I don't know Jass for one, and two, you don't need to like them. Otherw may find a use to it

. Anyways, I' still working on single player quests and a few other bugs I found.

Menag · Dec 5, 2009

i didn't want to say it's bad
still one more suggestion
as i saw it in your map itself (i mean dalanar rpg) it's really annoying that u see in the multiboard "Gnoll Pelt" - "0" and you can't read anywhere where to give the quest back
so in my opinion it would be good if you still add those quests to F9 to read what exactly to do + where + for who

PS: i also made a multiboard questlog for me now, just in jass and that every player has his own quests
you want credits for "stealing the idea" =O?

mjllonir · Dec 6, 2009

Bah you know what, the quest multiboard is not just my idea, I mean, everyone can make one and can make their own. It's nit necessarily my idea

. So no, you don't need to give credits for it

Menag · Dec 6, 2009

well ok
but i still give you +rep

mjllonir · Dec 6, 2009

Awesome

. Thank you very much.

real138 · Dec 6, 2009

hmm will you be updating this??

mjllonir · Dec 7, 2009

Man I wish I could, I've been so busy lately I havn't had time to actually work on anything I have...I will be updating asap though

Anachron · Dec 7, 2009

Could you please remove the awful colors at the description?

mjllonir · Dec 7, 2009

You think they're awful :O! I think they're pretty cool, they add a bit of coloring into the whole thing

Glorn2 · Mar 8, 2011

2 years later...

I am trying out this system, and found a pretty crippling bug...

Lets say you have:
======================
Current Quests
Quest 1 1 text
Quest 2 2 text
Quest 3 3 text
Quest 4 4 text
======================
Then you turn in quest 1, so the scoreboard turns into:
======================
Current Quests
Quest 2 2 text
Quest 3 3 text
Quest 4 4 text
======================
Lets assume Quest 2 is to kill 20 guys... what happens when you kill a guy for the quest is...
======================
Current Quests
Quest 2 2 text (wont change)
Quest 3 2 text (Change to what quest 2 should be)
Quest 4 4 text
======================

This system works for doing 1 quest at a time; but to have multiple quests going at once that can be completed in any order... doesnt seem to be working.

mjllonir · Mar 11, 2011

Oh boy, you're absolutely correct >.>

Unfortunately, I don't work with WC3 anymore (Working with SC2 now).

I'll take a quick look at it though, see if I can find the fix for this. (Considering I must be at least 3x better at triggering than I was when I made this)

Glorn2 · Mar 11, 2011

Using your system as a base; I actually kinda remade the entire thing; and honestly, it looks a little neater; but I didn't clean any of it, so it is dirty.

I set my own quest level requirements in there. On map init I set the custom values of QUEST_DIFFICULTY, so that players who are above or below a certain level cannot partake in the quest activity. This is a nice addon, but not required in any way.

Ive tested the above with a variety of 9 quests, being activated and completed and turned in, in many different orders. I have had no problems at all with it.

- I'm too stubborn to learn vJASS or to move on to SC2 yet. Gimme a couple of months...
