Acheivement Progress option?

Post by supadupa64 »

If I want to have lets say 30 achievements where the player can look at them and keep track of them. I assume I would just make them all active at the start of the game and set them to untracked. I could just make them quests and have them all smashed in with all the other quests in the "completed" area, but it would be cool if there was a separate tab to show achievements. Is this already a function or no?

I guess I could just copy the quest log window or something to make another section for this?

Sure, or you could put them in a quest group named "Achievements". This way they'll be grouped together under a heading.

Maybe someone else on the forum has ideas, too?

I've got a couple quests in a group, but I don't really see that it does anything. What are groups supposed to do besides arranged them in the list?

That's all groups do. They just arrange quests into lists.

It sounds like making a copy of the quest log window script will be a good approach for what you want to do.

You could add a custom Boolean field titled something like "Achievement". Set it True for achievements, False for regular quests.

In your custom quest log window, when you're showing the achievements section check the Achievement field of each quest. If it's True, add the quest to the display list. This will require a bit of scripting.
