Why? Are you unable to see my example screens?

PS :thx a lot ... i'm saing this in avance )

 

[alexia]

Actually, Nidhogg and Ccoa's ideas have been implemented in the tutorial and the changes have already been made to the first post. If you have a specific question, I could address it but you will have to be patient because it will probably not get done until this weekend.

@alexia:
Very simple and easy to understand. Good job!

@moltrex:
You're just using self switches just like an ordinary quest would - and yes, there are quite a few tutorials here on how to do that. Your idea may work for picking 5 apples, but it doesn't for killing 40 monsters. The point of the tutorial is how to do quests that require variables, not how to get around it with a specific example.

ahamz .... well it seems i din't get the right ideea ... well i hope the tut is good ^_^

I cmpletely understand collecting the items and such, I've already made a demo with that and I was able to make a successful quest for collecting items.....

I've tried but I still can't figure out how to make it so you have to kill so many monsters before it will let you continue.....

I think I could make it work by making the monsters appear on the map, but I don't want them to be an event, is there any way to do this with random battles??

 

[alexia]

I've actually never tried this with random battles. (I try to avoid random battles like the plague.) Perhaps someone else here can answer that question for you. Sorry.

 

[lunarea]

There are two ways to go about it:

1) A common event that stores the number of monsters killed in a variable.
In this case, the conditional branch in the quest would check if the variable is of a certain number.

2) Making a monster have a 100% chance to drop a "proof" item.
You can add to this a common event that checks if you have a particular number of that item and then teleports you back to the quest NPC.

its a very nice your tutorial and easy :#

 

[shiroun]

Those are good, but wouldn't you rather her give you another quest after that? I have a randomize system in my game I was tweaking, not releasing, its reference only. Anyway, I put in the cmd
> Conditional Branch: Variable [0001: 5 apples] == 0
> Text: Famer's wife: congrats
: Else
> Text: You need \V[1] more apples...
: Branch end

in text i used game_system.name_window=true
Text: \nm[Farmers Wife] Can you pick 5 apples for me?


After you get the apples, and close the script (using game_system.name_window=false
game_system.name="")
She gives you a hunting quest. I may upload it later.

 

[alexia]

This is just a tutorial to use as a guide for creating other similar events. You are welcome to create your own tutorial in your own thread.

 

[dtected]

If its an enemy, hwo do you make the enemy appear dead?

 

[iamwoody]

For some reason she's tell me "You still need -1 apples???????

What's wrong?  Any ideas?


***Fixed it myself, My apple codes didn't match......DUH

                                    :crazy:

 

[napoles3]
