portal quest scripts, TFS 1.4.2

[bravespiritz]

I have this script, that im trying to this with. I need help with the quest system. Spawning the monsters works great. they should be linked together.


- when a player steps in a magic forcefield with the unique id "1000",

• quest start when entering the portal
• a timer starts of 5 min. also the player needs to kill 15 monsters.
• inside the quest area the monsters 2 monsters should spawn, and after you kill one, two more should spawn. (this works in my script)
• when a player kills a monster, a message will show progress
• both needs to be completed for the quest to complete, time needs to reach 5min and creature kills 15.
• on completion the player is teleported to position(1000, 1000, 7)
• if timer runs out and the player has not killed 15 monsters, the player is teleported to position(1000, 1000, 7)
• the player who has completed the quest will receive randomly a item in a array. the items are "2457", "2509", "2465", "2478", "2511"
• when the player has failed or succeeded the monsters should be reset to like on startup.

Here is the script below, any thoughts on how I can solve this?

local monsterIndex = 1
local spawnPosition = Position(999, 974, 7) -- this is the monster spawn position
local monsterList = {
    "rat", "cave rat", "troll", "rotworm"
}
local requiredKills = 15
local completedPlayers = {} -- To track completed players

local creatureevent = CreatureEvent("SpawnRandomMonstersOnDeath")

function creatureevent.onDeath(creature, corpse, killer, mostDamageKiller, lastHitUnjustified, mostDamageUnjustified)
    for _ = 1, 2 do
        local rand = math.random(#monsterList)
        local monster = Game.createMonster(monsterList[rand], spawnPosition)
        monster:registerEvent("SpawnRandomMonstersOnDeath")
    end
    return true
end

creatureevent:register()

local globalevent = GlobalEvent("SpawnRandomMonstersOnStartup")

function globalevent.onStartup()
    for _ = 1, 2 do
        local rand = math.random(#monsterList)
        local monster = Game.createMonster(monsterList[rand], spawnPosition)
        monster:registerEvent("SpawnRandomMonstersOnDeath")
    end
    return true
end

globalevent:register()

local function resetMonsters()
    for _, creature in ipairs(spawnPosition:getCreatures()) do
        creature:remove()
    end
end

function onStepIn(creature, item, position, fromPosition)
print("Player stepped into the magic forcefield with ID 1000")
    if item:getId() == 1387 and not completedPlayers[creature:getName()] then
    print("Quest started for player:", creature:getName())
        creature:teleportTo(position(1000, 986, 7))
        creature:sendTextMessage(MESSAGE_EVENT_ADVANCE, "Quest started! You have 5 minutes to kill 15 monsters.")
        
        local kills = 0
        local timer = 5 * 60 -- 5 minutes in seconds
        local questTimer
        
        questTimer = function()
            if kills >= requiredKills then
                completedPlayers[creature:getName()] = true
                creature:teleportTo(position(1000, 1000, 7))
                local rewardItems = {"2457", "2509", "2465", "2478", "2511"}
                local rewardItem = rewardItems[math.random(#rewardItems)]
                creature:addItem(rewardItem, 1)
                creature:sendTextMessage(MESSAGE_EVENT_ADVANCE, "Congratulations! You've completed the quest and received a reward.")
            else
                if timer > 0 then
                    creature:sendTextMessage(MESSAGE_STATUS_WARNING, "Quest progress: " .. kills .. "/" .. requiredKills .. " monsters. Time left: " .. timer .. " seconds.")
                    timer = timer - 1
                    addEvent(questTimer, 1000)
                else
                    creature:teleportTo(position(1000, 1000, 7))
                    creature:sendTextMessage(MESSAGE_STATUS_WARNING, "Quest failed! You ran out of time.")
                end
            end
        end
        
        addEvent(questTimer, 1000)
    end
    return true
end
