How to have NPCs detect if certain switches are on?

[masterbrady7]

As above, im having trouble trying to figure out how to make NPCs react accordingly to if you have certain 'quests' or not.

Basically what im asking is if you accept a said 'quest' can you have them detect it (Instead of turning the switch On/Off or toggling ON/Off) so it responds accordingly.

Or should I use variables instead?

I'm not sure why you wouldn't want to use switches here. If all you need is for them to react differently depending on whether or not a certain quest is active then a switch is perfect. However, if you want them to act differently depending on which stage of a certain quest you're on (if you have a multi-part quest) then variables would be better.

You can make a event where it checks switches using conditional branches if Switch 1 is ON then this.. IF off then this etc? Variables would be a good solution also. NPC talks to old man, accepts Quest this then enables a switch by doing so, then you can just use conditional branches to detect if ON or OFF on your quest events etc it works fine.

Alright, ill give that a try. Ill get back to you if it works.

Also you can set preconditions on the left side of event pages.
