[Trigger] Quest trigger

xFiReFoXx · Sep 27, 2009

I know the basics of the quest triggers, i just can't figure out how on some RPGS and stuff that when you right click or w/e on a computer's unit that has a giant yellow ! on the top of it, it will give you a quest and do the quest and when you come back click him again and it will finish quest and give you xp/gold

how can this be done?

Maker · Sep 27, 2009

First create the exclamation mark and save it to a variable.

Untitled Trigger 038
- Events
- Conditions
- Actions
  - Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the overhead of Paladin 0142 <gen> using Abilities\Spells\Other\TalkToMe\TalkToMe.mdl
  - Set Temp_Effect_Array[0] = (Last created special effect)

Then use this trigger for getting the quest:

Quest Give
- Events
  - Player - Player 1 (Red) Selects a unit
- Conditions
  - (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Footman
- Actions
  - Set Temp_Loc_1 = (Position of (Triggering unit))
  - Set Temp_Group_1 = (Units within 512.00 of Temp_Loc_1 matching (((Matching unit) is A Hero) Equal to True))
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - (Number of units in Temp_Group_1) Greater than 0
    - Then - Actions
      - Quest - Create a Optional quest titled asgasgf with the description adfAFD, using icon path ReplaceableTextures\CommandButtons\BTNAmbush.blp
      - Quest - Enable (Last created quest)
      - Quest - Mark (Last created quest) as Discovered
      - Quest - Flash the quest dialog button
      - Quest - Display to (All players) the Quest Discovered message: drhdfh
      - Special Effect - Destroy Temp_Effect_Array[0]
      - Trigger - Turn on Quest Coplete <gen>
    - Else - Actions
  - Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Temp_Group_1)
  - Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Temp_Loc_1)

When the quest giver is selected, it checks if there are heroes near it. It sets up quest requirments and stuff, and removes the exclamation mark.

Then you do the quest, like kills some baddies. You could detect when everything is killed and then create the exclamation mark again.

Quest Complete
- Events
  - Player - Player 1 (Red) Selects a unit
- Conditions
  - (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Footman
- Actions
  - Set Temp_Loc_1 = (Position of (Triggering unit))
  - Set Temp_Group_1 = (Units within 512.00 of Temp_Loc_1 matching (((Matching unit) is A Hero) Equal to True))
  - If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    - If - Conditions
      - (Number of units in Temp_Group_1) Greater than 0
    - Then - Actions
      - Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
      - Quest - Mark (Last created quest) as Completed
      - Quest - Display to (All players) the Quest Completed message: fcjcjh
      - Special Effect - Destroy Temp_Effect_Array[0]
    - Else - Actions
  - Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Temp_Group_1)
  - Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Temp_Loc_1)

And this copletes the quest. BTW, don't use "last created quest", save the quest into a variable. You could use "unit enters region" instead of selecting the quest giver.

How would i go without the units near the quest giver, and also how would i add on a leaderboard for quests how make is killed and left? And is there a way to make it only in 2 triggers insted of 3?

also could you maybe help me out with this too? http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/triggers-and-scripts-269/kill-command-hero-selector-144820/

Maker · Sep 27, 2009

Create a region at the quest giver, then use "unit enters region" event.

I'm sure you can find leaderboard tutorials in the tutorials section.

You can create a boolean, "quest x discovered", and then do IF/THEN/ELSE thingy where you check the boolean. Copy the stuff in the Quest Give trigger to THEN branch, and the stuff in Quest Complete to ELSE branch. Use "quest x discovered" equal to false in IF.

xFiReFoXx · Sep 27, 2009

Ughhh okay. I just can't figure out how you got "(Number of units in Temp_Group_1) Greater than 0" I can't find a Number of units shit in the conditions

Maker · Sep 27, 2009

Select integer comparison, and there it is. It defaults to that.

xFiReFoXx · Sep 27, 2009

OHH omg.. i looked everywhere but that -.- i feel so supid now, Thanks.

xFiReFoXx · Sep 28, 2009

Are the custom scripts required for this trigger, cause im getting about 5 errors when i try to save from the custom scripts.....

edit: i removed the custom scripts, and when i selected my hero, and went to the guy he has no ! mark on him and as soon as i got near him the quest started, i wanted it when you had to click him or w/e then the quest would start.

Maker · Sep 28, 2009

More or less yeah. If you don't use them, you cause memory leaks.

You're propably failing because of

*capital letters
*not using udg_ with the custom script.

Post the trigger if you can't get it to work.

xFiReFoXx · Sep 28, 2009

and also how do i make it so that players have to click the unit insted of getting near him...?

Maker · Sep 28, 2009

You might want to change the condition to unit comparison, "(triggering unit) equal to *quest giver*"

That unit type comparison was not such a good idea, sorry about that.

Custom scripts are case-sensitive. Use capital letters in variable names if you are using them in custom script. There's a difference between

temp_loc and Temp_Loc

xFiReFoXx · Sep 28, 2009

Alright done, but now there is still no ! over the head of the quest giver, and the quest doesn't work anymore if i click on him or go near him

    - If - Conditions

Set temp_group_1 = (Units within 512.00 of (Center of (Playable map area)) matching (((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True))

->

Set temp_group_1 = (Units within 512.00 of (temp_loc_1) matching (((Matching unit) is A Hero) Equal to True) and ((Matching unit) Not equal to (Triggering unit))

Untitled Trigger 038
- Events

  - Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the overhead of Paladin 0142 <gen> using Abilities\Spells\Other\TalkToMe\TalkToMe.mdl
  - Set Temp_Effect_Array[0] = (Last created special effect)

^Creates the exclamation mark.

Woot it works exactly how i wanted it, thank you man!

now just to find a better way of doing the hero selections on the other thread >< and how to add models xD

xFiReFoXx · Feb 5, 2010

Well...it works fine other then the fact that someone across the map can make the destroy effect happen. but it doesn't accept the quest, how do i make it so the person has to be IN RANGE for the special effect to be destroyed?

Maker · Feb 5, 2010

Add "owner of matching unit equal to triggering player" to the unit group pick.
