Possible Kill counter?

[Randymarsh9]

and Since no trade is disabled on my server, I can see someone just chain hailing the mob for the reward for alts, so is there a check I can do so he doesn't respond if they have done the quest already?

I am not sure what you referign to.

If reward is given after 10 mobs have been killed - then "just hailing" the npc won't do you any good

[Randymarsh9]

Ok, this is basically what I want the quest to be like. An NPC gives you the quest to kill 20 guards and Carson McCabe. I want it to be that everytime you kill a guard it will give you 1 point of credit until you hit 20 credit, then you have to kill Carson McCabe to get the last credit. Once you have 21 then you can hail the original NPC for the reward. If that's not possible, tell me please.

[ChaosSlayer]

very posible.
just like I said in the begining.
you need 1st global variable couting 20 kills
and 2nd global checking if you have killed Carson

when you go to quest npc he will check that 1st variable is atleast 20 and then 2nd variable is non 0 and give you a reward


now I call upon one of our quest experts to write all this out

[Randymarsh9]

Alright, thats probably a much better plan to have two variables instead of making some complex restricrions and what not. Thanks, I'm going to get to work on this tomorrow.

Much easier to just write a task.

Yeah, I'd use the task system for that. It has more of an initial learning curve than quests, but it has proven to be far more powerful. Once you get the hang of it, and use KLS' awesome editor you'll find it is easier than writing quests! In this case, using globals as a counter is just plain ugly. I hate the practice myself, and am often required to do so for lack of a better alternative. Since your server is custom you can take advantage of the task system, since you're not bound by what's Live Like.
