[EO] Quest system - edited

[Robin]

The amount of references to '.ini' files in this thread is making me cry.

Do you lot learn _nothing_ from using Origins?

Apparently not heh. Ummm… What's a better (or easier) way to go about making quests do you think? It would be nice to not have this headache from trying to figure out how to send .ini information from the server...

Stop saying .INI you're gonna make Robin shoot himself xD

Origins doesn't use .INI files because they are slower, and more insecure, when compared with the types that Robin has come up with.

No they're not. xD

Stable abuses them far too much. If you want to add something to the player data, add it to the damn player data. Don't make a whole new array which you just dump into a new set of files.

The reason this is done so much is because of inherent restrictions on the scripting system from Stable, and it's obviously been carried over when people start editing the source code.

Origins is a brand new slate. You should all wipe your memories clean of what you've done with Stable and Evolution in the past and learn anew.

> If you look at the code, it's easy to see that it's just a basic "Give item" quest system. You attack a quest NPC to start the quest, you attack them again when you have the item they want, you receive reward.

You missed something somewhere, or placed code in the wrong place. I suggest you double check ;)

[Robin]

Delete your source code, go back to the backup you made and try again.

Open NPC_Edit form  ;D That should help you

[Bafoon]

Fixed it, but now I get an error on

```
.txtLevel.text = Npc(EditorIndex).Level
        .txtDamage.text = Npc(EditorIndex).Damage
```Method or Data not found. Any ideas?

[Guest]

Means its not there, so add it. Im guessing those are in the new editor he supplied.

[Wheezy]

It is all ok, but when I hit NPC it does nothing when I am admin. When I am a player and I hit NPC I kill him… Whats wrong?

Find Sub CanPlayerAttackNPC in modCombat. In this sub find this code:

```
If NpcX = GetPlayerX(attacker) Then

                End If
