Basic Quest System

#Visibility of quest log on map
$questlogvisibility = true

Perhaps set that global variable to false in a script call.

That did it, thanks!

Hey was just wondering how I would go about making a multi-task quest and only get the next part to show up after you complete the first part.

Example:
A quest that has you go to a man in a specific town is Obj. 1
After you talk to the man Obj. 2 comes up and you do whatever you have to do, so on and so on.
Also would this work with the global save script i am using?

 

[Roninator2]

After you talk to the man Obj. 2 comes up

That is correct, but you event it. It says in the script ...

show_obj(:questid, :objectiveid)

and the example for the quest is...

:obj_id1 => ["string", id]
:obj_id2 => ["string", id, boolean],

You just have to have all of the objectives configured in the script when you start a new game.

I don't know if this will be a problem with your global save script.

Hey guys wanted to get some help with this:
When I got to get the quest it works just fine, but when i have multiple rewards the rewards get cut off at the bottom like this. How do i fix that?

 

[Roninator2]

the rewards get cut off at the bottom like this.

when I played your game it was because you have the screen size to low for the height. at 640x480 it looks fine. Correection, it does have a small screen. I'll check it out.
Of course you could not put many rewards in the quest

i have 2 rewards, how would i go at fixing it?

Line 706

    super(Graphics.width/8,10,Graphics.width/5*4,Graphics.height-Graphics.height/9*2)

I just played with the numbers and values to get something looking good.

Was wondering if I might be able to get some help with this script, I can't seam to find where to change the volume of the sound effects and things like that in the script. Where would that be and if it is not in the script then would it be possible to put it in?

If you removed sound effects all together, you could use the script calls that check if you accepted/failed/turned in a quest to play a sound effect from the event page. and from there, you can make it any volume and/or pitch you want

Hey all, hopefully easy question here.

For the quest log that can appear on the map (when you are tracking quests) does anyone know how to put a slightly dark background to it? As is, its a little hard to read at times.

 

[Roninator2]

know how to put a slightly dark background to it

No sure about a dark background. I know it can be done, but just not off the top of my head.
But on line 705 it says opacity. maybe if you set it to a higher number you will see a background?

class Window_QuestLog < Window_Base
  def initialize
    super(Graphics.width/5*3,0,Graphics.width/5*2,Graphics.height)
    self.x = 0 if QUEST_LOG_POSITION == 1
    self.x += QUEST_LOG_OFFSET_X
    self.y += QUEST_LOG_OFFSET_Y
    self.opacity = 0
    self.contents.font.size = 18
  end

 

[slickdeath97]

Ok so I am having a bit of a problem with the script and need to know how to fix it. Whenever I finish a quest and go to turn it in, if I hit cancel instead of complete the quest gets locked and nothing can be done. How do I fix this without taking the cancel part out.

 

[Roninator2]

How do you have the event set up? What command did you use to do the turnin?

    self.x += QUEST_LOG_OFFSET_X
    self.y += QUEST_LOG_OFFSET_Y
    self.opacity = 0
    self.contents.font.size = 18
  end

Hey, just wanted to say thanks, and this actually worked! Just had to edit the graphic.height as well, or else the quest log would take up the whole side of the play area.

class Window_QuestLog < Window_Base
def initialize
#~ Orginal super(Graphics.width/5*3,0,Graphics.width/5*2,Graphics.height)
super(Graphics.width/5*3,0,Graphics.width/5*2,Graphics.height-180)
self.x = 0 if QUEST_LOG_POSITION == 1
self.x += QUEST_LOG_OFFSET_X
self.y += QUEST_LOG_OFFSET_Y
#~ Orginal self.opacity = 0
self.opacity = 180
self.contents.font.size = 18
end

This is how the completing event looks like.

 

[Roninator2]

This is how the completing event looks like.

That should work. Can you try repositioning the script in another location up or down to see if there is a conflict?
I've tested the script with the defaults quest and works fine. Hit cancel, the quest is still there.
It is also interesting how you set up the conditional branches.
$game_player.direction == 8 ???
Why not Character player is facing up? (conditional branch - third tab).
And
Why check if the quest is completed when you are turning in? After the quest is turned in the event should not be running again. Unless you have this somewhere else as well.

There is no conflict. When I go to turn the quest in and I hit cancel this happens:
The guy moves,self switch a is turned on, but the quest is still there and I can no longer turn it in.

Sorry. Got it.
You need to do this instead. No issues with the script, just your eventing.
