With the quest chests do you mean so that they just can take one item?

In mapeditor:

ActionID = 2000.
UniqueID can be any number, but has to be different from others.
Click on the black squares and select the items.

so you mean like:
Item One.
Aid= 2000
Uid= 50017
And then Select x Item in the black squers.

Item Two
Aid= 2000
Uid= 50018 or shoud this be the same as the one above?
And then Select x Item in the black squers.

Correct, it shouldn't be the same, it should be different.
If you want to do something like the annihilator, it's gonna take a little bit longer to do, I can't be arsed to make a tutorial on that.

 

[nystrom]

one question how are your server suppose to know that you alredy have taken one of the 4 items?
do i maybe need any kind of script for the chests?

 

[freaked1]

Yes you need a script for that ;P
I will see what I can do to find one, hang on

No you don't, ugh, I guess I will make a tutorial on that.

put this into data/actions/scripts/anni as annichests.lua

function onUse(cid, item, frompos, item2, topos)

   	if item.uid == 50017 then
   		queststatus = getPlayerStorageValue(cid,50017)
   		if queststatus == -1 then
   			doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid,22,"You have found a Demon Armor.")
   			doPlayerAddItem(cid,2494,1)
   			setPlayerStorageValue(cid,50017,1)
   		else
   			doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid,22,"It is empty.")
   		end
   	elseif item.uid == 50018 then
   		queststatus = getPlayerStorageValue(cid,50017)
   		if queststatus == -1 then
   			doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid,22,"You have found a Magic Sword.")
   			doPlayerAddItem(cid,2400,1)
   			setPlayerStorageValue(cid,50017,1)
   		else
   			doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid,22,"It is empty.")
   		end
   	elseif item.uid == 50019 then
   		queststatus = getPlayerStorageValue(cid,50017)
   		if queststatus == -1 then
   			doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid,22,"You have found a Stonecutter Axe.")
   			doPlayerAddItem(cid,2431,1)
   			setPlayerStorageValue(cid,50017,1)
   		else
   			doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid,22,"It is empty.")
   		end
   	elseif item.uid == 50020 then
   		queststatus = getPlayerStorageValue(cid,50017)
   		if queststatus == -1 then
   			doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid,22,"You have found a Thunder Hammer.")
   			doPlayerAddItem(cid,2421,1)
   			setPlayerStorageValue(cid,50017,1)
   		else
   			doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid,22,"It is empty.")
   		end
	else
		return 0
   	end

   	return 1
end

And add this line into data/actions actions.xml

	<action actionid="50017" script="anni/annichest.lua"/>

And use actionID 50017 on all the quest chests and UniqueID 50017-50020 on the chests

No you don't, ugh, I guess I will make a tutorial on that.

Oh I can't wait, I would like to know an easier way then this ^^

Go to data/actions/quests/system.lua:

Look for something like this at the top:

local specialQuests = {
	[2001] = 30015 --Annihilator
}

Add a new quest to it:

local specialQuests = {
        [2001] = 30015 --Annihilator
	[2002] = 45010 --New quest
}

Note: the first number is the actionID, every quest like this must have different actionID,
the second number is the storage value, ofcourse like the actionID, every quest like this must have a different storage value.

Save and close system.lua

Now go to actions.xml and add:

<action actionid="2002" event="script" value="quests/system.lua"/>

Note: The actionID must be the same as the actionID you set in system.lua

Save and close actions.xml

Now open your mapeditor and set all the chests in the quest to have the same actionID.
So, in this case, if the actionID you set in actions.xml and system.lua is 2002, then all the chests in the quest on the map must have actionID 2002.
Then you can select the items by clicking the black square. ALSO, leave the uniqueID space as 0 for all of them as well.

Then you're all done, it should work perfectly fine!

PS: This is MUCH easier and MUCH better than what freaked1 did.

Ah I see! I did like that on my server about a half year ago, but I never got to start the server :/ Thank you! Now you reminded me of that way, I had totally forgot it.
