Quests for Multiple Players

[Volty]

I would like to create quests for each of my players in a multiplayer map, such that as each of them completes the quests independently their individual quest logs update accordingly. The GUI commands related to quests, however, don't seem to let me specify which player I'm talking about. In particular, the

Quest - Create Quest
Quest - Mark Quest As Completed

triggers don't let you specify a player or playergroup. Is there a way to have individualized quest logs?

Thanks in advance,
Volty

I'm sorry, but the quest log seems to be always global, no matter if controled directly using JASS or GUI.

Nooooo! What a shame! That's really too bad.

Best thing to do is to either rename the quest specifically for each player or to state which player the quest is directed to in quest messages. It can become pretty cumbersome though

I FOUND A WAY!
(just did not test it correctly in the earlier post )

Just add the following line before actions just to do for one player:

• Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == Player(0) then

Adjust the player number as you need it; always use the playernumber - 1 (so e.g. player 6 is Player(5) etc.).

After your actions add this line:

• Custom script: endif

If you should forget this, the WE may crash when saving!

Wow Waldbaer! Points for you! Nicely done. I tried that out and it seems to work just fine.

I'm glad I didn't implement the triggers for the "global" style of quests I was planning on yet, now I can go ahead and use this method to get the behavior I really want.

Thanks again!
