Problems with "Rock Knife" Quest
Posted: 19 Oct 2009, 17:31
I'm working on this Rock Knife quest to experiment with scripting. I've ran into some basic problems though. I manipulated "Alan" and "Jack" for "ngus" (soon to be "Angus") and a "Chest". The problem is when the character says "No way! Snakes are dangerous!" the Chest still recognizes that I have talked to ngus, thus responds as if the character has received the key, but the character hasn't. Returning to ngus, he responds as if the character had been sent to find the chest, but hasn't found it yet. This locks the character out from completing the quest. What am I doing wrong? Note: "ngus" is also taking part in the "noh mask" quest, so those parts have been kept, I think, though I haven't tested it to see if it works. Also not sure if I have hanging scripts that shouldn't be there.
Also the coordinates I've entered are for the sake of testing the quest without warping around on my private server.
