[General] Question about moving quest requirement downwards on log

[tulee]

Hi guys,

Sorry for bothering you all. I tried to search up on hive for key words relating to this, but nothing came across with a relevant answer so I am posting here. Basically, I have a situation with a main quest that has 3 quest requirements, A, B and C. A and B are quest related objectives, while C is "this hero must survive".

In my quests, A is of course revealed at the map's start, but B is only revealed after A is "completed". C of course is with A at the start, so it will show A at the top, then C below A on the quest log at the start of the mission. But when B is "discovered", it appears below C (which is correct in the chronological sense). But it is very "un-Warcraft-like" for the "this hero must survive" to NOT be at the bottom of the requirements.

There is no example from the bliz campaigns that I can learn from, since every mission I have studied avoids this issue by simply having multiple main quests, as posed to adding more than two quest requirements on non-RTS missions (the ones where hero dying = fail).

So, while I can avoid this issue I am facing by simply destroying the old "this hero must survive" and making a new fourth quest requirement "D" so it follows after B, I was wondering if there is another way around this since I would essentially be destroying the old requirements on all my maps.

Sorry if I did not explain this clearly

Create all the quests as undiscovered quests from the start. So Quest A, B, C.
Then when you want a quest to be discovered you simply tell it to be.

Should make the quests appear in the order you want them to.

Yes, but the issue is I need to have the "this hero must survive" requirement after the 1st quest requirement, but then when the next quest requirement comes up it will be below the "this hero must survive"

Ah well, just delete the old quest requirement and recreate them with the new one in the order you want it to be when you get the next quest requirement.
