Starting quest from cutscene or no quest giver

[Reed237]

Hi, I'm trying to start a quest from a conversation, where there is no accept quest option. the quest will require you to kill two bandits and it will activate a Trigger upon Quest completion. your tutorials only explain how to accept the quest from NPC's can you explain how to do it without them?

Hi,

Here are some ways to do that:

- You can add the quest to the player's Quest Journal and specify Autostart Conditions. The quest will become active in the player's Quest Journal when the conditions are true (e.g., "# bandits killed" counter is >= 2).

- Or you can create an empty GameObject and put a Quest Giver component on it. Use this GameObject to give the quests to the player's Quest Journal, for instance by configuring an event to call the Quest Giver's QuestGiver.GiveAllQuestsToQuester() method.

- Or you can use a script to activate the quest. See: How To: Start Quest From Script

Hey I'm stuck I'm using the Top Down engine and I've implemented the integration, but I can't seem to get the enemies to send the kill message I've looked at the Top Down demo but the onDeath component is missing can you tell me what component the enemy needs to send kill message

[Tony Li]

Hi,

Make sure you've imported both "TopDown Engine Support.unitypackage" packages. One is in Common/Third Party Support and the other is in Quest Machine/Third Party Support.

Then add an OnDeathEvent component to your enemy. You can also add a QuestControl component, and configure the OnDeath() event to call QuestControl.SendToMessageSystem. (Don't connect it to QuestControl.SendMessage.)

See the KoalaNinjaPatrol GameObject in the TopDown Engine Example scene for an example.

hey I'm getting these types of Errors

Assets\Pixel Crushers\Common\Third Party Support\TopDown Engine Support\Scripts\OnDeathEvent.cs(20,36): error CS1061: 'Health' does not contain a definition for 'OnDeath' and no accessible extension method 'OnDeath' accepting a first argument of type 'Health' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Hi,

Does your project perhaps have another script named "Health" that's not in a proper namespace?

[Reed237]

it does.
