Design Traps
Watch out for the following:
- Visibility Issues - The character can't be seen by the NPC. Use the "if cansee" check to iron out wrinkles. For example:
>greet_prog 100
if iscarrying($n) == 25413
or iscarrying($n) == 25414
or iscarrying($n) == 25415
or iscarrying($n) == 25416
if cansee($i) == ($n)
look $n
say Ah, good. You caught something. Give it to me.
else
mpecho $I sniffs the air and then scratches his chin.
say I can't see you, but I can smell you. And whatever you caught.
say Make yourself visible, and give it to me.
endif
endif
- Give Fails: The character can't be given something. May be related to the above or caused for other reasons like notake. An example which checks that the NPC still has the item after the give attempt:
mpoload 25412
give net $n
if iscarrying($i) == 25412
tell $n Got too much in your hands.
drop net
endif
- Give Cheats: For fetch quests, make sure that the character doesn't give the NPC an illusionary object. This can be avoided by checking the material. Example:
>give_prog talon granite drake
if material() == stone
(GIVE A REWARD)
else
esay 'sneers' You think I'm stupid, do you?
mpfaction $n 36 -100 1
mpkill $n
endif
Design Tips
Make quests more polished and integrated into the setting by doing these things:
- Rumors: Minor, low-level quests don't need these. But when characters complete challenging quests (or fail in notable ways), add a rumor. Example:
>all_death_prog 100
if ispc($t)
if name($n) / yorna
mpvalueset rumor I heard that $T got just a little too cozy with a yorna!
if isevil($t)
mpvalueset rumor $T thought he could romance a yorna--but the fangs got him in the end!
endif
if isgood($t)
mpvalueset rumor Poor, innocent $T fell victim to a yorna on Alensha, I heard.
endif
mpaddrumor "$I" %rumor
endif
endif
- Factions: Include faction adjustments where possible to make factions more useful. See the fetch quest example above.
