[HOWTO] How To: Create Custom Actions

[Tony Li]

Quest Machine lets you define your own quest actions that appear in action dropdown menus just like the built-in actions (Audio, Alert, SetQuestState, etc.).

It's easy to add your own actions. In this example, we'll add an action called "Win Game". It assumes you have a manager script named GameManager defined roughly like this:

Code: Select all

public class GameManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    public static GameManager Instance {get; set;}
    
    public void WinGame()
    {
        // Your code here to set the game to the winning state.
    }
    ...

To add a "Win Game" action:

• Duplicate the file QuestActionTemplate.cs located in the Templates folder. Move it into your own scripts folder and rename it to WinGameQuestAction.cs.
• Open the script and rename the class to the same name (WinGameQuestAction).
• Configure the Execute method to call the GameManager's WinGame() method. Example:

  Code: Select all

  public class WinGameQuestAction : QuestAction
  {
      public override void Execute()
      {
          base.Execute();
          GameManager.Instance.WinGame();
      }
  }

• Now you can select your new Win Game action from the dropdown menu in your quests' Actions sections.
