Quest (targeting a group of people)

[Skyviper086]

I looked at some quest tutorials and read some stuff and its still all very greek to me. I'm still trying though.

 

Okay. I'm working on a little project mainly for myself but because some are interested in it I might (when I figure out how) upload it to the nexus as a resource. The big thing holding me back is that its not a new worldspace (that drove me crazy too trying to figure it out) so I leveled off a mountain somewhere on the other side of an invisible wall and made a big plateau. No worries everything is okay with LOD.

 

Anyhew. Can someone make this simple for me.

 

I want to make a quest where the quest is given by a HAM radio and not a person. Then once the quest is given and is underway. I'd like a trigger box to display the message IP Acquired Proceed to strike raider group (or whatever the target may be.)

 

Is there like a website of scripts or something laying around that I could use? How can I do this?.

 

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Ham radios are activators anyway?

 

Pretty sure you could throw a Begin OnActivate straight onto one.

You can call SetStage and/or StartQuest from the onActivate block of your radio's object script.

 

To show a message, you need to create a Message form and call showMessage when it's time for it to be displayed.

 

To display quest objectives (For example, after your message form pops up), you want to use setObjectiveDisplayed. Here's where you can read more than you ever wanted to know about Quest Objectives

 

Finally, for scripting, this is a page you never want more than two clicks away. And this is good once you've got the basics. If you haven't got the basics, here, here, and here are where you want to be.

 

EDIT: Because linking works much better when you close your dashed tags.
