Help With Modern Algebra Journal

[TartanTerror]

I am having a problem with the Modern Algebra Journal Script. I have the quest system set up and everything works fine. I have my reward set to give XP and I have set an icon for the give XP reward as shown in the instructions. However when I go into my game to test it. The quest reward in the menu shows as a bag as the icon and the text Hand Axe next to it. I have not set these in any of the settings so I cant figure out why they are showing as rewards?


This is my Quest Line


    when 0
      q[:name]              = "Old Sailor's Beer."
      q[:icon_index]        = 725
      q[:level]             = 1
      q[:description]       = "An Old Sailor has asked you to buy him a drink."
      q[bjectives][0]     = "Buy a Beer."
      q[bjectives][1]     = "Give the Old Sailor his Beer."
      q[rime_objectives]  = [1,]
      q[:custom_categories] = []
      q[:banner]            = ""
      q[:banner_hue]        = 0
      q[:client]            = "Sea Captain"
      q[:location]          = "Westray Pub"
      q[:rewards]           = [:exp, 15,]
      q[:common_event_id]   = 0


I have included a screenshot of the reward the quest shows,

Spoiler

    #   q[:rewards]           = []
    #    [] - In this array, you can identify particular rewards that will 
    #       show up. Each reward should be in its own array and can be any of
    #       the following:
    #          [:item, ID, n],
    #          [:weapon, ID, n],
    #          [:armor, ID, n],
    #          [:gold, n],
    #          [:exp, n],

This part, you need to tell which kind of reward it is.


Edit: Which you have, this is actually a bit weird. Let me have another look at the script.


The only thing I can find about that is on line 358:


    # reward_exp: Text to identify exp rewards
    reward_exp:       "",


Is this set to Hand axe perhaps?

 

[TartanTerror]

thank you for a speedy reply dude.


although it is blank on the lines you suggested.


    # reward_exp: Text to identify exp rewards
    reward_exp:       "",


Edit: Maybe if i actually input some text into that line the hand axe and icon will go away. I will try that.


Edit 2: the hand axe and sack icon still show.

Might be a problem with another script then. I tested it out in my project and it shows as a blue text if you add reward text for Exp.


Test it out in a new project and see if it works there, if you get the same you know that It's something with the quest script (which is highly doubtful, since :Exp, amount of exp should only show Icon and the amount).

 

[TartanTerror]

I have multiple yanflyt scripts and also some crafting scripts. its possible its on of those. thanks for your help .

 

[TartanTerror]

I copied the script over and it still shows the hand axe but it displays an actual axe icon as its using the default iconset.

I copied the script over and it still shows the hand axe but it displays an actual axe icon as its using the default iconset.

Then we have established that It's something wrong in the actual Quest journal script. You tested it in a completely new project right?


Not sure what else could be wrong, do you have multiple inputs of same quest and trigger the wrong one when revealing it?


Not sure how I could help without actually seeing the whole script and the inputs you have done to it. Are you able to send a project with the script setup?

 

[TartanTerror]

I can created another instance of the map and quest for you to try. Or if you would like you could test my demo for me and give me some feedback on it?

 

[bgillisp]

You have to start a new game. If that quest had a default set up to hand axe and you saved with that set up, it will be hand axe until you start a new game, as you cannot change quest setups mid-way in a game. Start a new game and see what happens.

 

[TartanTerror]

I start a new game eveytime i test something new dude.

Here is a small instance of the quest. with the script.

@TartanTerror, your line for the rewards is wrong, it's missing the external array.


See the original example:


q[:rewards] = [
[:item, 1, 3],
[:gold, 500],
]


Even if you have only one data line, you still need the external [ ]

correct:    q[:rewards]           = [[:exp, 15],]
your version:    q[:rewards]           = [:exp, 15,]

 

[TartanTerror]

awesome!!! thank you Andar. I have not done any progress on my game for hours becuase this has been bugging me. I can get back to work now!! Thanks again.


Edit: Where can I post a demo for feedback?  A larger demo than what I posted for my script fix.

 

[Dark_Metamorphosis]

Haha well that was an easy fix! Great going Andar, finding the small things that we miss!
