Quests will not work.

[malice987]

Hello all!
I have came across a problem when I try and use quests on my server.
All of the quests on the server that where coded (using actions.xml, etc etc) works; however, if a quest is put in using the action ID as 2000 - such as the DHQ, the quest fails to work. All that happens is that you can open the chest, and physically take the item <- which only one person can take the item.

If this means anything, I'm using SQlite and TFS 4.0.

Thank you for your time and I will repp,
Malice.

Do you have the quest system luascript on your actions folder?

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

local questsExperience = {
	[30015] = 10000
}

function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)

	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

Don't forget that you need to have the action entry registered with actionid="2000".
Obviously in the chest, you will need to put 2000 in action id, storage/itemID on unique id and item inside-container.

Yeah I have the system lua script.

And I am putting the action ID as 2000, making up a random unique ID with the item in the chest ...

Is there anything else that I need to add into the actions.xml folder or do I need to add the quests into a lua file?

local annihilatorReward = {1990, 2400, 2431, 2494}
function onUse(cid, item, fromPosition, itemEx, toPosition)
	if item.uid > 1000 and item.uid < 10000 then
		local itemWeight = getItemWeight(item.uid, 1, FALSE)
		local playerCap = getPlayerFreeCap(cid)
		if isInArray(annihilatorReward, item.uid) == TRUE then
			if getPlayerStorageValue(cid, 30015) == -1 then
				if playerCap >= itemWeight then
					if item.uid == 1990 then
						local container = doPlayerAddItem(cid, 1990, 1)
						doAddContainerItem(container, 2326, 1)
					else
						doPlayerAddItem(cid, item.uid, 1)
					end
					doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_INFO_DESCR, 'You have found a ' .. getItemName(item.uid) .. '.')
					setPlayerStorageValue(cid, 30015, 1)
				else
					doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_INFO_DESCR, 'You have found a ' .. getItemName(item.uid) .. ' weighing ' .. itemWeight .. ' oz it\'s too heavy.')
				end
			else
				doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_INFO_DESCR, "It is empty.")
			end
		elseif getPlayerStorageValue(cid, item.uid) == -1 then
			if playerCap >= itemWeight then
				doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_INFO_DESCR, 'You have found a ' .. getItemName(item.uid) .. '.')
				doPlayerAddItem(cid, item.uid, 1)
				setPlayerStorageValue(cid, item.uid, 1)
			else
				doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_INFO_DESCR, 'You have found a ' .. getItemName(item.uid) .. ' weighing ' .. itemWeight .. ' oz it\'s too heavy.')
			end
