[Help] Easy way to make quests

[HtotheN]

Im having problems to find a working guide of how to make a quest useing TFS 0.2.14 (9.60).
The quest itself is made, mapping way. But I'd like the player able to choose one out of 3 items.
I've tryed diffrent ways of doing it.

• A guide by Evan, making me put the same action id along with coding in system.lua and more. -- Didn't work.
• Put the same unique+ 2000 as action id. -- Didn't work either.

Suggestions?
Thanks from someone who haven't been working with OT's since 2008.

So you are using TFS 0.2.14 and didn't changed the actions?

 

[HtotheN]

Well, Im useing TFS 0.2.14 with a custom map. The old scripts doesn't work, since the map is from 2007. The server map itself has been converted, but the quest system isn't the same anymore.
And I did try useing actions, but can't really get things to work.

There are two chest rewarding systems:
#1
You give the chest the itemid you should get as uniqueid. If you want to get multiple items, backpacks, etc. you have to write a special script.
#2
You add the item(s) you should get in the map editor and write actionid 2000 and a quet specific uniqueid

Which one are you using?

 

[HtotheN]

Second one. It works like anni, you choose one out of 3 items. But can't manage to get it work.

Edit:

Turns into this ingame, when doing as mentioned in the mapeditor:

Just put an action ID on the chest and use a script similar to this.

<action actionid="11001" event="script" value="chest.lua"/> 
<action actionid="11002" event="script" value="chest.lua"/> 
<action actionid="11003" event="script" value="chest.lua"/>

function onUse(cid, item, frompos, item2, topos) 
       if item.actionid == 11001 then 
       queststatus = getPlayerStorageValue(cid,12345)
        if queststatus == -1 then
        doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid,MESSAGE_INFO_DESCR, "You have found a gold coin.")
            doPlayerAddItem(cid,2148,1)
            setPlayerStorageValue(cid,12345,1)
        else
             doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid,MESSAGE_INFO_DESCR, "The chest is empty.")
        end 
       elseif item.actionid == 11002 then 
       queststatus = getPlayerStorageValue(cid,12345)
        if queststatus == -1 then
        doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid,MESSAGE_INFO_DESCR, "You have found a platinum coin.")
            doPlayerAddItem(cid,2152,1)
            setPlayerStorageValue(cid,12345,1)
        else
             doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid,MESSAGE_INFO_DESCR, "The chest is empty.")
        end 
       elseif item.actionid == 11003 then 
       queststatus = getPlayerStorageValue(cid,12345)
        if queststatus == -1 then
        doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid,MESSAGE_INFO_DESCR, "You have found a crystal coin.")
            doPlayerAddItem(cid,2160,1)
            setPlayerStorageValue(cid,12345,1)
        else
             doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid,MESSAGE_INFO_DESCR, "The chest is empty.")
        end 
    else 
        return 0 
       end 
       return 1 
end

        end 
    else 
        return 0 
       end 
       return 1 
end

Still wont work. Having 30051-53 in chests as action ids.

Change action ID and Unique ID to the same. Then report back!

 

[Evan]

I should have mentioned in my thread that it was for 0.3, I apologize.

Create a new file into actions folder called system.lua

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

	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))

		for i = 1, size do
			local tmp = doCopyItem(items[i], true)

				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)

	doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_INFO_DESCR, result)
	return true
end

In actions.xml:

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

So in the map editor something like this:

If isn't working with 2001, just try with 2000, only remember removing all quest systems from actions.xml just before doing this.
