Quest Objective

torontodave

The current quest objective is displayed in-game inside the quest tracker in yellow text.
- Sometimes official quests have white text here
- Or a chain of events

Is there any way I can input my own custom white text?

In my shore map I have a lot of 'ambiguous' objectives that move the story along. The player must read the text, and complete a 'non-objective' task before moving to the next NPC..

Problem is, when people just follow the path and don't read any of the NPCs, it breaks the quest chain. They get confused/lost/too far ahead. I need to give the player more info either as a sub-objective, or with admin messages. =/

I don't want to do the latter, so I was hoping for the former?

About the only option I think you can do is to have perhaps long descriptive quest objectives to speak to an NPC or interact with something, etc. You could put them all side-by-side if they don't need to be done in any particular order, but they all must be completed before continuing the story objectives.

For instance, in mine, I've got investigating three different underwater caves -- they can do them in any order they want, so I have all three story objectives side-by-side, but they must complete all of them before advancing.​​

I had no idea I could have objectives side-by-side .. in the storyboard you mean eh?

Hrmm.. may take some re-working, but I think that may be feasible.

Yep. Only thing to remember is they ALL have to be completed - it's not an OR situation. And they all show up at once on the players quest tracker.

That's actually perfect.. I'm going for a "Town Completion" kinda thing. Do all the quests for the people in the 'area', whose rewards give you the ability to move to the next 'area' =D
