There seems to be some things missing, like the questList table.

 

[Ub Kenobi]

Where do I put that? It seems like the whole quest system on my map is built with this script. All chest got an uid and when someone click on them I got got the console error. I would like to fix it in an easy way. I hope I don't have to replace this script with something else.

 

[Evan]

Well, I don't know, it depends where you got your script from.
questList is just simply undefined, based on what you have shown me so far.
