Hi,

Thanks for using Quest Machine! Use Quest Machine message system.

Your quest presumably has a quest node named something like "Read Book". Add a Message quest condition. Set it to Message:"Read", Parameter:"Book" (without quotes).

When the player reads the book, use PixelCrushers.MessageSystem() to send that message. In C#:

Code: Select all

PixelCrushers.MessageSystem.SendMessage(this, "Read", "Book");

If you don't want to do any scripting, you can add a Quest Control component to the scene. It has a method SendToMessageSystem that you can hook up in the inspector -- for example, to a UnityEvent such as a UI Button's OnClick event. Set its string field to "Read:Book" (without quotes).

Thank you, I got it working using the script method. Thanks for the quick reply.
