Quest Giver

[jporter917 0]

I have using a quest script in my game, however it is hard to tell rather a NPC has a quest for the player. So I figure I would add a '!' above NPC's with quest to give and '?' above those who you have quest completed. I have the quest script and I rather not have to edit the thing to death for this effect. I was thinking a simple script that would display a picture above an event when the event has the comment Quest Giver in it, which would display a '!' and the comment Quest Turn in would display '?'. Seems easy enough can anyone help me script this?

I found this script, only problem is that is doesn't work if you set the event to repeat or parallel process can anyone help me edit it so that I can make the the emoticon repeat?

Try to do this:

Set the quest event to "Player Touch". When it's activated, put a balloon icon over the event's head.

That way, once the player is in contact with the event, they will know if it's a quest or not.

 

 

P.S.

You should edit your posts from now on. Don't want another double post incident.

But RG you would still have to talk with npc no matter the sign so not much of a difference

Ya, I want it to work using parallel process then the animation would be going above an NPC's head all the time until the player takes the quest. Reason being is so that players would know who has a quest and who doesn't by just looking at the NPC's not having to talk to them.
