I've moved this thread to RGSSx Script Support. Please be sure to post your threads in the correct forum next time. Thank you.


Evil, you've been around long enough to know script questions should go in the script support forum.


Please post a link to the script you're using, and state what exactly you're having trouble with, or how you want it to behave.

I thought this was the script area

sorry

 

[Shaz]

nope - you put it in VX Ace Support

 

[Evil]

sorry :03

This looks like it might be Modern Algebra's Quest Journal script, though you don't actually say which script you are using.

Can you be more specific about what you don't understand, which bit(s) of it?  At the moment your query is too general to be answered, as it's not possible to know where to start.

 

[Evil]

can you point me in the direction of a good script with good instructions for a quest log

 

[Andar]

Algebra's script is one of the best and has a very good description on how to do everything.

Everything else either has less options or is more complex - a quest log is never a trivial thing, because you have to mix scripting, eventing and quest definitions into one system.

Please provide better description where you have problems with it.

And if you don't even know where to start with that script, I don't think that you'll be able to find a better solution. In that case you might have to abandon the idea of a quest log for your game (there is a reason why many other RM-games either use that or don't have a quest log)...

is this algebra's script?

and is there no one who can write a tutourial on how to set this script up 

I'm not sure where or how to input my data for the quests I'm wanting to show up in the quest log

and does it use switches to tell it when to show quest data and when it is finished cause it seems to me it would be that simple

I mean I don't know much about scripting but it would seem after you have the log you should just be able to use switches inside events to tell it when to 

show the quests and when to show the completed quest text

is this algebra's script?

You are the one who got that script somewhere, and didn't give that link, only a short part of the script in a picture.
So you have to say whether this is Modern Algebra's script, perhaps by reading the header of the script where it's name is listed.

All texts needs to be put into the script, that includes the texts for script description. If that is Algebra's script, then he included examples and a very good description in the comments of his script, you have to read that part (the manual part) of the script.
And no, it is impossible to tell a quest log with switches when quests are complete and what texts to display - theoretically it might be possible, but that would require a lot more scripting knowledge to tell the script which switches to use.


So your last assumption is completely wrong - you need to know script calls to change the status of that journal's scripts, and Algebra used script calls because that solution is easier than programming the script for switches. Because that "programming for switches" could only be done by the game developer who defines the quests, not before that by the scripter.

 

[Evil]

it is algebra's script and I think I have found the place to input quests but I am not exactly sure how this screenshot is of the data layout section is this where I input my quests?

Can you give a link to the script itself? Don't make people guess based on screenshots that show snippets of the script. Give them the link to the page where you downloaded it - preferably a forum post, because he's probably given information and examples.


The second screenshot you gave is next to useless too. It doesn't show anything at all about inputting quests.


Don't give us a dozen screenshots. You can see that script is huge. Give us the actual link to the actual script to download.
