Basic Overview
The new quest system is very similar to MIRC scirpting. It introduces if() statements, $vars and %variables, and EVENTS.With the new quest system you can set dynamic variables example: "%DynamicVariable = "Something";"."Something" can also be a $var or %variable.
Saving Quests
You have to save quests using the .qst file type. Which can be done by using note pad and using Save As. Then go to File type and select All Files . Quests should be saved in /quests/Zonename/NPCID.qst . You can use /quests/world.qst . to have that quest work for every npc.
%Variables
You can set custom %variables and use them in scripts.
Syntax: %variable_name = "Something here";
Example: %level = "$calc($mlevel + 3)";
