This is likely caused by my re-spawning of NPCs or something wrong in the Item script; if the latter, I will have to fix it myself as there is no Item Script editor yet.

[Jakkal]

What's the procedure to fix this? I've never messed with the quest stuff.

[John Adams]

First thing I'd do is go into New Telon and see if it truly does not work, or if the client was having a connection issue/lag. I was pretty sure I changed all the IDs to the new ones, but we can check again.

After you reproduce the bug, go to the DBE->Quests list, find "Drive Them Back" I believe is the quest. In another window, find that Mature Gataro Podling so you have it's spawn_id. Make sure the ID is correct at the top of the script.

Oops, in looking it up for you, I already think i see what's wrong.

Code: Select all

function Init(Quest)   
	AddQuestPrereqQuestGroup(Quest, 7441, 7445, 7446, 7447) -- Need prereq group (7441, 7445, 7446, 7447 are all ok as prereqs)	
	
	AddQuestObjectiveKill(Quest, 1, "Marsh Dwellers Slain", 5, 10206)
	AddQuestObjectiveUseItem(Quest, 2, "Mature Gataro Driven Back", 3, 1422009)
	AddQuestObjectiveObtainItem(Quest, 3, "Gataro Repellant", 1, 1422009)		
end

This is supposed to be the podling's spawn_id (the last number, this line means objective #2, 3 of (spawn_id) must be sprayed with repellant)

Code: Select all

AddQuestObjectiveUseItem(Quest, 2, "Mature Gataro Driven Back", 3, 1422009)

It's working for me on New Telon. I guess you fixed it Good job, John. I knew you could do it!

[John Adams]

er, I didn't fix nothin so perhaps it was an invalid bug report.

Actually, I think I lied. That is not a "Kill" Objective, so it should _not_ be the spawn_id, but apparently the ID of the item to Use (triggers the Item Script) that dings the quest forward.

As luck would have it, I am absorbing Zippy's document he sent me on how Quests all come together, so I might have a better understanding of these things before the night is over.

Yes, it is the item to use.

When you activate the item, it will check for the appropriate target as part of the item script, and go from there.

I have been very backed up getting ready for Christmas so I haven't had much time to get involved lately.

When testing this quest on 12/22/15, I noticed that the step was already marked as complete (green indicator) even though I did not right-click the item to use on a mature Gataro yet. When I did right-click the item on a targeted gataro, I did get a message about the gataro being burned or something. I will run through the IOD quest-line again today for more testing.

[Jakkal]

The only one that should give you a green dot is for the repellent, as in you have it. Part of that quest was to get the repellent, which it gives you automatically when you take the quest. I don't know why they made that a quest objective since you complete it from the start (Unless your bags are full, I suppose). Was the whole quest listed as complete, or just that one objective?

When I ran it just now it was working as intended. Other than screaming Gataros.
