Quest It?! - Quest/Dialog/Inventory Editor - Released!

Hi Sven,

That was exactly the issue. I had mistyped the QuestIt directory with a capital "I". Working perfectly now. Thx!

-Neal

 

Glad it helped Neal!

BTW the new update should come soon, i am just a bit busy with some jobs right now.

Greetings,
Sven

 

Great! cant wait for the next update, also do you plan on adding on to the inventory system you have in place? maybe adding a character sheet so you can equip items and such?

 

I second that : a character sheet would be great

Another suggestion (though it might not be easy ?):
Item categories would be nice (things like weapons, armor etc.) It would be useful to have some classification for the items database.
Also for the dialogs maybe ? (by npc, by area, etc. ?)

 

has anyone actually gotten this to work with mysql? and if so how? it just locks up and i can't figure it out. i get this error

cool but cost a lot

 

Hi Sven,

I'm trying to modify the spawnItem script so that OnTriggerEnter will result in the item being picked up. This will be functionality added to the existing mouse click option.

I see that when the spawnItem script runs a Coroutine

Code (csharp):

1. IM.Ins.CreateItemByName(itemName, amount, transform.position)

but I'm having some trouble finding the code that creates the clickable properties of the cloned items, which is what I would like to change to allow for the player to pickup with OnTriggerEnter.

 

It's located in the GM.cs and called "scanForItems()".

The best would probably be to add a trigger collider to the item prefab and change the item.cs and add the OnTriggerEnter function, and call:

if (IM.Ins.addItemToInventory(itemPtr))

(And add an "Destroy(gameObject)" afterwards)

Let me know if that helped

 

Yes, that was it. I put the extra code you suggested in item.cs and now OnTriggerEnter pickups work like a charm! Thanks again.

 

I'm having the same problem as gamerdad in that I can mouseover and the item turns green, but it won't pickup. I tried the suggestions given to him, but I must be doing something different than what he did.

Here's a screenshot of what I have so maybe you can see where I'm going wrong.

 

Hi,
i see you have the "ScrapMetal" Prefab dragged into the scene.

You need to spawn items using the itemSpawner or via script so it can get registered by the item manager.

I might change that behaviour in future updates.

Let me know if that helps

 

I looked through the manual and didn't see any reference to an "itemSpawner" so that must be what I'm missing.

I'm just doing a quick demo to be sure I understand how everything works. I also sent you a pm for some custom work if you are available for work.

Here are the manual steps...
To create a new item, drop the itemSpawner into the scene drop your item model into the scene and attach following components:
- collider: to be able to click on the item to pick it up
- item script: It's locatedin "QuestIt/Scripts/Inventory/item.cs"
- rigidbody: gets added by default

So where does the itemSpawner come in? Do you put in an itemSpawner for every new prefab? So I don't put the model into the scene then?

Also curious about "Stack". In your demo, you have all the swords showing up multiple times. They don't pile over each other and a number changing each time a new sword of the same modelname is added? Or does that "Stack" mean something different.

 

Add an empty to your scene, attach the itemSpawner script to it, and in the name field type the name of the item that you want spawned. the name being whatever you named it in the item creator. as far as stacking goes, you just change the number to how many you are able to stack of that item from the inspector.

 

Wrong thread sorry.

 

Very nice Sven! This might be worth the money.

And is Sven a reference to Sven Yorgen, an Alliance questgiver in Duskwood? [/isawowhead]

 

We recently purchased QuestIt! - and I keep having it crash the Unity Editor- If I de-focus the quest-it window (ie- open another window, internet browser or such) then when I click back inside the quest-it editor i get the following errors:

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

IsD3D9DeviceLost() || g_D3DInsideScene

(Filename: ..\..\Runtime\GfxDevice\d3d\D3D9Context.cpp Line: 696)

Then if I press a button in the Editor - unity crashes.

This is just opening up the demo scene.

Im running dual screen Win7 64bit.

 

So the crash is something to do with the onGUI failing. Have you encountered this before?

 

Ok I fixed it - simple fix. Seems when you defocus from unity and come back to QuestIT it looses a variable reference somewhere.

Anywho - comment out these lines (they appear 3x) to resolve issue:

// GUI.skin = questItSkin;
//GUI.Label(new Rect(30, focusedWindow.position.height - 150, 128, 138), "");

Its the redrawing of the questit logo that causes the crash ^_^

 

Can you give new discount code i will buy it right away .

And if you can make a character creation script will eb amazing i mena lik emakin teh character more muscle , tall hthi jaw big ears and stuff ... i will definitely buy that for shure for a decent price as well
cheers!

 

I don't know why but somehow i don't get notifications about PMs and new posts on threads anymore, so i just saw the latest posts now.

No it's actually my name lol. And btw, for the horde!


@shotgunk1w1,
sorry i didn't see your problem earlier but glad to hear you solved it! I've never had that problem but i will check it out to prevent it from crashing for other people as well. Thanks for sharing!


@smiljan66,
unfortunately the discount is not available anymore.
Right now i don't have any plans for a character creator but it would be cool to have one Unity actually offers some kind of character creator in their tutorial or projects section, take a look!

 

Hi! I purchased QuestIt yesterday and first of all, thanks for making it, it's really user friendly and good (and saved my lazy arse from alot of coding xD sch.)

Anyways, I'm trying to change the scale of the inventory window as well as adding a new box above the "stack-item" box where I later want to add some functions to equip items to my player character. I'm not too familiar to working with GUI things and changing the sizes and what not in the GUISkins/InventarItem properties doesn't seem to work I wonder if the size and layout information is inside one of the scripts?

Or are you planning on adding these function I'm currently working on to an update that'll be released within a near future so I'm wasting my time?

And again thanks for a great extension.

 

Kiyaku im interested if you can make the character generation script for me please send me an email to smiljan66@yahoo.es and say hwo much it will cost me if you can do that lets talk i need that and i think you are the perfect perosn to do it for a decent price count on me.

 

My toher question is i ca n change th eui _ for displaying quest i want to make the excat thing as age of conan quest you click on the guy and it opnes the quets displayed with a black background and the quest in white letters and it give you three posibilities ot choose and the ohte rpart fo screen shows the player that are saying th e quest is that possible with your script?

 

Is quest it functional with V.3 of Unity or we have to make scripts modifications ourselves ?

Everyone who already purchased QuestIt should receive an update email soon.

 

Yes it is fully functional with Unity 3.


@Everyone who asked for GUI changes, i will work on a more technical documentation soon so you can easily change parts of the code. Just be patient!

 

Was this ever revised? I never was able to get it to work.

I don't know if you have completed the update (it's 5 days since your last post), but I haven't received my update email.

 

getting the below error

Assets/QuestIt/Scripts/GM.cs(154,72): error CS0246: The type or namespace name `enemyControl' could not be found. Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?

Fresh project, terrain in scene and that is all, U3 pro version

 

Hello Kiyaku

Quest it support android?

 

I still don't receive emails even when im subscribed, i don't get it...

Did you still not get any update email? Please let me know what your email is and i will check this out asap.
And yes in the last update you can actually place objects into the scene without the itemSpawner.

Hm it sounds like i've forgot to include the script to the latest build, i will check this out!

To fix it fast, create a new enemyControl.cs and copy paste this code into it:

Code (csharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class enemyControl : MonoBehaviour
5. {
6.     public int questID;
7.     public Projector shadow;
8.  
9.     void Update ()
10.     {
11.         if (QM.Ins.HasQuest(questID))
12.         {
13.             renderer.enabled = true;
14.             shadow.enabled = true;
15.         }
16.         else
17.         {
18.             renderer.enabled = false;
19.             shadow.enabled = false;
20.         }
21.     }
22.    
23.    
24.     public void Die()
25.     {
26.         if (renderer.enabled)
27.         {
28.             QM.Ins.OnDeath(transform);
29.  
30.             Destroy(gameObject);
31.         }
32.     }
33. }

Not sure, i don't have an android and no android license so i can't try it out. If i ever get one, i will make sure that it's going to run on the android as well!

 

Kiyaku thanks for your answer

 

I sent you a pm, Kiyaku.

 

it appears Quest It is written in C#, @Kiyaku, would mind confirming that?

Also, do you have a twitter account?

 

Yes it is written in C#.

My twitter account is https://twitter.com/Captain_Kiyaku.

 

Hello Kiyaku

have you updated the package ? so i can red/l it from the link?

thanks

Hans

 

Hi,

you actually should receive an email when a new update is available with a new download link, not sure if the old one works as well.

I actually updated the current version so it includes the enemyControl again, but that's it.
And i realized it doesn't work with 2.6 correctly right now, so i am creating a second .unitypackage in the same download file for users who want to use 2.6. Should be up in a few hours.

Greetings,
Sven

 

I have the same Error, I do not found a solution on this thread! Can somebody help me please?

 

Hi,

I bought Quest-it some weeks ago. Again, thank you Sven for your great work.

I wonder if someone in the community can help me.
I would like to make a cutscene using camera switch after a quest is done. I am new to javascript and C#.

I am using the following javascript in my game to do it using collisions:


function OnTriggerEnter(other : Collider) {

if (other.tag == "Player") {
cam_to_use.active=true;
}

}

How can I do the same with questit after a quest is done. I imagine I need to refer to the quest database using quests ID and the done variable. But since I don't understand c# syntax yet, it is quite difficult to do and to know where to plug it into the Game Manager.
Can you please help me?

Thank you

Marie-Pier Auger

I would also do the same after all my quests are done.

 

Your webpage is not working for me... the buy now link sends me too svenparoth.com and the webbroswer freezes once it gets there also, if i try to type svenparoth.com into the webbrowser it freezes up as well

 

I want to buy this sooooo bad... Hoping it's working soon

 

mellow991: the Demo is working at http://windmillgames.com/questitdemo/questitdemo.html

But i have a problem with the QuestIt files not being exported when building a window client...

 

Yes the demos, and manual are working but the buy now link sends me to svenparoth.com which then freezes up my web browser also if i just type svenparoth.com or blog.windmillgames.com into the web browser it freezes up as well

 

I have considered buying this as well, however for me as well the purchasing side is unavailable due to a constant looping back to the svenparth.com site

 

I think the site is in revision right now. It worked fine a few days ago and probably will be up soon. Btw. my problem with the quests not working in the deployed version is gone.
BUT, is there any way to reset the quests on startup of the game?

 

Sorry guys, the server moved but the site is up again!

Thanks for your interest in it

 

$49,99 usd ! Wtf !

 

Hey i am loving this, definitley worth the fifty! one problem though, the quest chains are not appearing in the dialog when i talk to the npc but the rest of the dialogue as well as quests that aren't chains (no @ + number) do. I am constantly getting an error that i think is related to the fact that the quests aren't appearing:

IndexOutOfRangeException: Array index is out of range.
questItEditor.DisplayDialogEditor () (at Assets/Questit stuff/Editor/questItEditor.cs:1130)
questItEditor.OnGUI () (at Assets/Questit stuff/Editor/questItEditor.cs:1277)
System.Reflection.MonoMethod.Invoke (System.Object obj, BindingFlags invokeAttr, System.Reflection.Binder binder, System.Object[] parameters, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)

 

According from the line the error is occuring i'd assume that your questname is too long.

 

No that can't be it
