Hi Tony

Is there a way to get the Quest Log Window (QLW) (in my case an adaption of the NGUI example from your 3rd party support) to automatically update? What's happening is if I open the QLW, select a quest and then close the window the next time I open the QLW the same panel remains even if that quest has changed state.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks Again for the amazing program!

Hi Nathan,

Use the newish SetQuestState() Lua function to set quest states in conversations. For example, set the Script field to this:
instead of the older method:
This Lua function was introduced so it can also tell Quest Log Windows, etc., to update, in addition to just setting the quest state.

There's also a corresponding CurrentQuestState() Lua function that you can use in Conditions fields, such as:
instead of:
Both functions are described here.

And there's also a new ShowAlert() Lua function if you want to use that instead of setting Variable["Alert"]:
It behaves slightly differently from setting Variable["Alert"] because it shows the alert immediately, whereas Variable["Alert"] is only checked at the end of the conversation.
