random quest
« on: October 30, 2011, 08:08:00 pm »


               what im tryin to do is  this

you goto an npc to get a quest and he gives you a random quest.
just so we have some paramiters lets say the npc can choose 1 of 10 quests to give you
i can bang out the converstations and quests just need the script to randomize the quests.
and if it is possible to get it where it does not give the same quest back to back would be nice

               I'd imagine a imple way is to have each quest set a variable on the PC so that the NPC knows that player did the quest. Then in the conversation, call a script that rolls a 1d10 and uses case/if clauses to initialize each quest depending on the roll results - prompting a reroll if the quest is already done for that PC would be neat, too.

Although I haven't played much with it,  Vuldrick's Random Quest Generator sounds like what you're looking for:

This system will allow a module designer to add random generated quests/jobs to their module. The Task Master NPC will spawn in five (5) randomly generated quests at a time. All quests must be completed before he will spawn in new quests. DMs have special conversation options with the Task Master that allow them to destroy all current quests or spawn new quests etc. 

Mutiple Task Masters can be set in the module (see below) thus allowing the module to have as many quests spawned as the builder desires.
