Tutorial - Implementing a Basic Quest
Contents
Overview
This tutorial will provide an overview of all the steps necessary to implement a quest in a standalone campaign from scratch. It will not delve into any one area in great detail, the goal is to provide a 'big picture' walk through of some of the more commonly desired components in a quest. I will keep adding to it as time permits and when community feedback indicates additional areas of need. The current plan is to cover at least the following issues:
- Creating a new project and getting your first terrain testable.
- Placing and modifying an NPC
- Creating a default dialog for an NPC
- Creating a quest journal
- Enhancing dialogs to reflect quest progression
- Dealing with locked areas and containers
- Creating NPC Vendors
The end goal is to provide both video and written guides for each section. The video will be done first, followed by written guides.
