Stop switching to new active quest

[cptscrimshaw]

Hi Tony,

I'm hoping this is super easy and I just couldn't find it in the documentation or forum

Is there a way to not immediately set a newly-obtained quest as the current quest in the HUD and Journal when it becomes active?

The goal would be something like the Witcher 3 where if you get a new quest it doesn't change your current quest, but you can hit a button (after seeing a popup on the screen) to activate it if you want to.

Thanks!

Hi,

If you untick "Show In Track HUD", then it will not show the quest in the HUD as soon as it becomes active.

The player can go into the journal UI and turn on tracking for the quest, or you can write a script that turns on tracking:

Code: Select all

quest.showInTrackHUD = true;
QuestMachineMessages.RefreshUIs(quest);

The quest journal UI doesn't automatically show the quest that just became active. It remembers the quest the player last viewed.

Thanks!

I definitely tried that before and it didn't work, but this time it did. So I'll count that as a win

Glad to help!
