gah! i'm no programmer, or 'more quest problems'

[clomaka]

why is it that even though something's set up logically enough, if doesn't work?!? ok, /rant.

here's what i'm trying to do:
1-if you encounter the garthans while carrying an item, they tell you to take it to their homeworld.
2-when you reach their homeworld with said item, you can give it to them, and they will love you forever.

seems simple enough:
PAGE 0
encounter notfriendly garthan at nothome and with item,
TEXT go to gartha
FRND garthan

PAGE 1
encounter garthan at home and with item,
TEXT welcome to gartha, trade?
(then give a trade window, etc; probably set a variable so garthan remain friendly)


anyone see what's not working? my results are generally so unpredictable that i have trouble trouble-shooting it - things don't fire off, or they do on your second visit, and/or they go off twice! nur:\

That is similar to the 'Centauri Eye' quest.

You will need to set conditions similar to these:

CONDITION 0
TYPE encounter
STR0 centauri
END CONDITION

CONDITION 1
TYPE haveitem
STR0 it_centaurieye
END CONDITION

CONDITION 2
TYPE homeworld
STR0 centauri
END CONDITION

CONDITION 3
TYPE nothome
STR0 centauri
END CONDITION


Those will work.
(This information is in the alws_centauri.ini file, in the 2.60 version of the Babylon Project mod.)

yeah, just before i left work tonight i took a second look at it and decided to copy it over and work with that, extra conditions and all

if i get this working i'll be 90% of the way a release of my mod

Cool.

[clomaka]

blech! even that's not working! it just does NOT want to do anything on the garthan homeworld. I changed them to neutral in their race file to match the centauri, and all landing on gartha does is the default actions for a race encounter (hostile=fight, neutral=choose, friendly=trade).

i'm starting to run out of walls to bang my head up against

Attach the file and I will take the time to review it.
