Empty Chest Issue

[Jaffstern]

The chest is empty even if I've already set an UniqueID on it from the map editor, I've tried pretty much everything. Does anyone have a clue? I'm using TFS 0.3.6 Crying Damson V.3.

Maybe you don't using the right quest system.
Try putting 2000 / 2001 on action id, in unique id the storage (whatever), and put the item in the container. In the map editor. If you don't have the system, here's it:

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

local questsExperience = {
	[30015] = 10000
}

function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)
	if(getPlayerCustomFlagValue(cid, PLAYERCUSTOMFLAG_GAMEMASTERPRIVILEGES)) then
		doSendMagicEffect(getCreaturePosition(cid), CONST_ME_POFF, cid)
		return true
	end

	local storage = specialQuests[item.actionid]
	if(not storage) then
		storage = item.uid
		if(storage > 65535) then
			return false
		end
	end

	if(getPlayerStorageValue(cid, storage) > 0) then
		doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_INFO_DESCR, "It is empty.")
		return true
	end

	local items = {}
	local reward = 0

	local size = isContainer(item.uid) and getContainerSize(item.uid) or 0
	if(size == 0) then
		reward = doCopyItem(item, false)
	else
		for i = 0, size do
			local tmp = getContainerItem(item.uid, i)
			if(tmp.itemid > 0) then
				table.insert(items, tmp)
			end
		end
	end

	size = table.maxn(items)
	if(size == 1) then
		reward = doCopyItem(items[1], true)
	end

	local result = ""
	if(reward ~= 0) then
		local ret = getItemDescriptions(reward.uid)
		if(reward.type > 0 and isItemRune(reward.itemid)) then
			result = reward.type .. " charges " .. ret.name
		elseif(reward.type > 0 and isItemStackable(reward.itemid)) then
			result = reward.type .. " " .. ret.plural
		else
			result = ret.article .. " " .. ret.name
		end
	else
		if(size > 20) then
			reward = doCopyItem(item, false)
		elseif(size > 8) then
			reward = getThing(doCreateItemEx(1988, 1))
		else
			reward = getThing(doCreateItemEx(1987, 1))
		end

		for i = 1, size do
			local tmp = doCopyItem(items[i], true)
			if(doAddContainerItemEx(reward.uid, tmp.uid) ~= RETURNVALUE_NOERROR) then
				print("[Warning] QuestSystem:", "Could not add quest reward")
			else
				local ret = ", "
				if(i == 2) then
					ret = " and "
				elseif(i == 1) then
					ret = ""
				end

				result = result .. ret
				ret = getItemDescriptions(tmp.uid)
				if(tmp.type > 0 and isItemRune(tmp.itemid)) then
					result = result .. tmp.type .. " charges " .. ret.name
				elseif(tmp.type > 0 and isItemStackable(tmp.itemid)) then
					result = result .. tmp.type .. " " .. ret.plural
				else
					result = result .. ret.article .. " " .. ret.name
				end
			end
		end
	end

	if(doPlayerAddItemEx(cid, reward.uid, false) ~= RETURNVALUE_NOERROR) then
		result = "You have found a reward weighing " .. getItemWeight(reward.uid) .. " oz. It is too heavy or you have not enough space."
	else
		result = "You have found " .. result .. "."
		setPlayerStorageValue(cid, storage, 1)
		if(questsExperience[storage] ~= nil) then
			doPlayerAddExp(cid, questsExperience[storage])
			doSendAnimatedText(getCreaturePosition(cid), questsExperience[storage], TEXTCOLOR_WHITE)
		end
	end

	doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_INFO_DESCR, result)
	return true
end

<action actionid="2000" script="system.lua"/>
	<action actionid="2000" script="system.lua"/>

Okay so I tried it, this time it just appears smoke instead of opening it.

Ok, I just found this on my 8.60 datapack server, it must be working now.

<action actionid="2000" event="script" value="quests/system.lua"/>
<action actionid="2001" event="script" value="quests/system.lua"/>

Is exactly how I have it. (In UniqueID I put the ItemID/storage that's inside the chest).

Did you try to use the chest with your GM account? Then that's the reason there was "smoke" from the chest.
You need to use the chest with a regular player.

Try this : http://otland.net/f81/chest-system-110178/ Much more easy

Thanks for the replies, I managed to fix it. Like Mesmeroo said, the smoke occured because I was on my GM character.
