I'll be running the Dialogue System + ORK integration and Quest Machine + ORK integration through testing next week to make sure nothing in the latest versions of ORK broke anything with the integrations. I'm running a couple versions behind on ORK, and I want to make sure everything will run perfectly in the latest version.

I was able to finally start playing around with QM, and I have some questions, all ORK/QM related.
1) how can I have the HUD counter for kills/items gathered? I saw in your demo that you do it with {#coins} but how can I do it with ORK Items (gather 10 Wood for example). And the same for kills.
2) I use some strings in ORK like: #varstringplayerName# that gets the player name, is it possible to get those from QM?

Hi,
For the completion condition, you can either check the counter using a Counter Value Quest Condition or check the player's inventory directly using an ORK Has Item Quest Condition.
If that's not what you're looking for, would you please give me an example of how you'd want to use it?
Use the SetQuestCounter event step to keep a Quest Machine quest's counter in sync with the number of kills / items gathered. For kills, you may find it easier to set up the message system to send a message (e.g., "Killed":"Orc") that auto-increments the counter.
For the completion condition, you can either check the counter using a Counter Value Quest Condition or check the player's inventory directly using an ORK Has Item Quest Condition.
It will probably require a little scripting. To get the player's name as defined in its Quest Journal component:
Code: Select all
var questJournal = FindObjectOfType<QuestJournal>();
string playerName = questJournal.displayName.value;Re: ORK integration

Hmmm, I can't quite get how the event steps work, I mean where do I set the SetQuestCounter to sync the counter with QM? Would love a video tutorial with ORK and the workflow that you have in mind as the best with ORK/QM, or just a workflow graph/explanation here
for now I just use it like in your ORK demo, which is pretty straight forward and easy

I had in mind something like adding a SetQuestCounter step to GiL's Harvesting items event, but there's probably a better approach. I'll dig into ORK's gameplay source and see if there's a better way.

yeah that doesn't seem very handy, if you find any other way let me know

ORK's Inventory class has a "changed" event. I'll update Quest Machine's ORK Support package to hook into this event. I'll try to have it ready some time next week.

that sounds awesome! it would be pretty nit if you could call an ORK event from QM, as an alternative component so you could start an ORK event when a quest starts/finishes. Just a thought
