[EO] Alatar's Quest System v1.2

[jcsnider]

@K722: That means that somewhere in your code you are defining Quest as w/e twice…. find "Public Quest  ..." (twice)  and remove whichever one does not belong.

[aaaron]

Ok thanks. I think I got it fixed.

[Grimnnak]

It means you probably have some other Quest system and your trying to overwrite it with this one.

[Athagekin]

I attack the quest giver NPC and nothing happens. Solution?

[dxxknight]

do you have a quest set to the npc?

[Athagekin]

Yes, I do.

Followed the exact instructions for the server. But when i try to compile the server.exe i just get Variable not defined at this line:

```
PlayerQuest(1 To MAX_QUESTS) As PlayerQuestRec
```

Are you sure you've added modSvQuests to your project, if yes, check if this :
```
Public Const MAX_QUESTS As Byte = 70
```Underneath
```
Public Const MAX_TASKS As Byte = 10
```in **modSvQuests**

Found a bug. If a quest is set to slaying a NPC, dying or killing someone completes the quest.

[Antisora]

I added this quest system, but when i attack the npc to get my quest, nothing happens. I set him to quest 1, and the first task is to talk to him.

Don't set the same NPC you got the quest from to end it.

I know, the problem was i wasnt adding HP to the NPC LOL.

[Ansonla]

[Antisora]

Add some health and attributes to NPC 21

Also, for others, I have problems with this piece of code, it isn't taking items when completing a quest :
```
Case QUEST_TYPE_GOGIVE 'Give X amount of X item to X npc.
            If TargetIndex = Quest(QuestNum).Task(ActualTask).NPC Then
                For i = 1 To MAX_INV
                    If GetPlayerInvItemNum(index, i) = Quest(QuestNum).Task(ActualTask).Item Then
                        If GetPlayerInvItemValue(index, i) >= Quest(QuestNum).Task(ActualTask).Amount Then
                            TakeInvItem index, i, Quest(QuestNum).Task(ActualTask).Amount
                            QuestMessage index, QuestNum, Quest(QuestNum).Task(ActualTask).Speech, 0
                            If CanEndQuest(index, QuestNum) Then
                                EndQuest index, QuestNum
                            Else
                                Player(index).PlayerQuest(QuestNum).ActualTask = ActualTask + 1
                            End If
                            Exit For
                        End If
                    End If
                Next
            End If
```
Does someone know how to get this working?

Hi folks, I just tried this… I may have missed something, I don't know. I can't seem to find anything, so, debug time.

I tried to compile and got... "Compile Error: Method or Data Member not found" with the following highlighted:

```
.scrlQuest 

```
It's part of the scrlQuest.Value = NPC(Editor line

**Steps taken**
I've checked my code in the client section and it all seems to check out. The server compiles fine.

When I run the debug I have the following line highlighted
Runtime Error '321' Invalid File Format
```
frmMain.optMOn.Value = True
```
**Steps taken**
Re copied and pasted the frmMain

The server side compiles fine.

Please please, can you detail the changes you have made in the other files so that I know what to tag as a mod.

[Antisora]

Got it.

How do I pull up the questlog? Is there a way I can make a button pull it up?

[erkro1]

@JayDee:

> How do I pull up the questlog? Is there a way I can make a button pull it up?

Yes, draw a button somewere on the screen, double click on it and add this in it :
```
UpdateQuestLog
            If picQuestLog.Visible Then
                ShowQuestLogPage 1
            Else
                picQuestLog.Visible = True
                picInventory.Visible = False
                picCharacter.Visible = False
                picSpells.Visible = False
                picOptions.Visible = False
                picParty.Visible = False
```

[JayDee]

I made another image button and made the index 7 but now I am getting a compile error (End if without block if)

what should I do.

[Antisora]

When i try to compile my client after adding this, i get MAX_QUESTS highlight and it says Variable not defined. This is in modtypes.

>! PlayerQuest(1 To MAX_QUESTS) As PlayerQuestRec

Did you add the quest modules to the client and server?

I added both.

[jcsnider]

He added the modules to the src folder but never added them to the project, I fixed it through teamviewer. Issue Resolved :D
