Quest Triggers

[Secret Assasin54321]

Alright... i think i can make do with the making and discovering of the quests in my current project WoW Extreme. But since this is a WoW like game i need to make a trigger that will make the special effects (Exclamation point and Question mark) appear and disapear for only that player. At the moment i dont believe it's possible but there's got to be a way to do it right? Also i may have some trouble with the discovering of the quests and stuff but as i said earlier i may be able to do it.

That was a little confusing...

i dont think that its possible to show created effects only for a specific player... wouldnt it be much easier and less lagg to show the effect to everyone, but only if the one player talks to the unit, the trigger fires.

and maybe if another player wants to talk it only say kinda: "why should i talk to you?"

dont waste much time to make it look 150% perfect. The players wont find that other method not negative. Decide what is usefull and doable and the rest WAS only an idea.

I don't think it's possible creating a special effect only for one unit. And I agree with Sunny; people won't find that negative. Just create a variable of type Player (name it VariablePlayer for example), and when someone receives the quest;

"Hi mon! Can you help me? The bandits did this and that and blablabla"

Before all this, set VariablePlayer to the Owner of Entering Unit. I never tryed, but I think the trigger still runs if you turn off the trigger as soon as it fires. This is supposed to prevent the trigger from getting confused if another player enters the area while the trigger is still running.

Also, If you guys know what trigger makes it so it counts how many kill of one type a layer has (I.E. for all of you WoW players, when a guys asks you to, for example, go kill 10 Kobold Vermin) how do i make it do that so it counts it? Well, now that i think about it i guess i could use a multiboard that is hidden but i want peoples preference. In addition, i dont know how to make a random drop only when a player is on a qeust (lets say player one is on quest Get My Necklace Back and i want it to be a random drop [the necklace] only when the player is on the quest how do i do this) I have a few more questions (i want to get it all out in one post) more question, how do i extend the capasity of a hero's normal inventory because his normal inventory isnt enough for equiping weapons and armor let alone items, what would u guys suggest i do. Also how do i make it so that when a player picks up for example chest armor he can only equip one type of chest armor (it makes it more realistic). Also how do i extend the maximum level of a hero from 10 to 60? thanks for all the help guys.

-NOTE: if this triggers dont work ty using triggering unit instead of entering unit-

TRIGGER 1:
<<variable CountDeadVermins: integer>>
EVENT   a unit dies
COND    unit-type of dying unit eqal to vermin
ACTION  set CountDeadVermins = CountDeadVermins + 1

TRIGGER 2:
EVENT   a unit comes within range of (quest giving unit)
COND    owner of entering unit has quest discoverd (you have to search the exact i dont have WE at mom)

        then
            quest-quest done....
        else

6) max hero level

go to advanced-menu on top and goto gameplay constants section. there u should find the maximum hero level.

[Sunny_D]

always glad to help . and its ok if you save me small, small area in your credits .

Hmm... i dont know.... Sunny_D for the Quest code instead of creating a quest (because the game would just keep making the same quest over and over again) Would it work if I had the unit discover the quest. If so how exactly would i do this?

 

[Sunny_D]

(because the game would just keep making the same quest over and over again)

well, i didnt say you have to copy the trigger i offered 1-to-1 - i just gave you the basics, because i actually havent WE to give you exact fuction :? , so if it creates something again and again, create for example a boolean AlreadyDoneQuest1 and use some if-then-else to fire the trigger only once...
or you put at the end of trigger a trigger-turn off this trigger and the trigger runs only once too.
