What is the EntityType Saver for?

And this one? Added: QuestGeneratorEntity.StartDialogue methods that generate quest first if necessary.

It's for procedural quest generation. It's now possible to change an EntityType's drive values at runtime. EntityTypeSaver saves the current runtime values of an EntityType's drives. It came up in the context of this forum post.

Use it if you're using the procedural quest generator.

If you call QuestGiver.StartDialogue, the quest giver will only show dialogue about quests that are already in its quest list.

If you call QuestGeneratorEntity.StartDialogue, the quest giver will try to make sure it has at least one quest before starting dialogue. If it doesn't have a quest, it will try to generate one first.

Thanks

Hi Tony,

I have been able to use Quest machine to create & completed quests. But there is one problem,
I don't know how to assign rewards in QM, therefore not able to receive rewards into my inventory.

By the way, I'm using Gameflow, you already integrated it into Dialogue, do you have to do the same to QM as well?

Thanks Don

Hi,

I hope to add Gameflow integration in a future update as time allows.

For quest rewards, what inventory system are you using? If you're using Inventory Engine, Inventory Pro, ORK, uMMORPG, uSurvival, etc., you can use the Quest Actions provided in their integration packages. Typically you'll add this to the Success state of the last node in the quest (e.g., the "Return to NPC" node).

If you're using your own inventory system, you can write a custom Quest Action by copying the QuestActionTemplate.cs file in Quest Machine's Templates folder. This requires a little familiarity with C# scripting. Edit the script and add the code to work with your inventory system. Alternatively, you can use one of the built-in actions such as Set GameObject Active Quest Action to activate a GameObject with a Gameflow component. The Gameflow component can then give the player rewards when it's activated.

Hi Tony,

I am trying version Questmachine trial version 1.0.5
There is a bug, here is how to reproduce :

Player accepted a quest from NPC, abandon the quest, the NPC's head has no exclamation mark, wait for quest cool down to run out,
exclamation mark still not show up. But player can again take same quest from NPC.

Thanks

Hi,

I'll add that in version 1.0.9, which will be released soon. You won't need to do anything extra; it will just work.
