Quest

Send the player on a quest. Complete any number of quests and get rewards! This relies heavily on Scriptable Objects to create a flexible quest system. Each quest will retain its state, and each quest does not have to be completed in the level where it was accepted. Thus, you can easily design quests that can span across multiple game levels.

QuestInventorySO

This Scriptable Object will create quest objects - QuestSO - and will store them in a list where you can modify them in the inspector. To create a new QuestSO, simply name it and press the Create New Quest button. The new QuestSO will be placed in the AssetsFolder/Quests/QuestSO folder. If you want to delete them, you must do so manually.

To create a QuestInventorySO, right click in the project window and go to Create/FlareEngine/QuestInventorySO.

QuestSO

This object is in charge of storing all the quest information. Press the add button to add as many rewards as necessary. Press the delete button to delete the saved data.

Property
Title	The name of the quest. This name must be unique across the entire game. Press the reload button if the name has been changed to update the asset name as well.
Goal	The number of things the player has to accomplish. This can be one or greater. For example, the player can be tasked with collecting three rare gems.
Icon	The quest’s icon. This sprite will be displayed in QuestUI.
Description	Describe the requirements of the quest. This will be displayed in QuestUI.

Property	Quest rewards.
Name	The name of the reward.
Reward	The value of the reward.
World Float SO	Set the reference to the world float that will have its value incremented by the reward value once the quest has been completed. This can be left empty if not required.
Inventory Item	Set the reference to InventorySO and ItemSO. Once the quest has been completed, the inventory will have the specified item appended. This can be left empty if not required.

Quest

This component exists in the scene. It has two jobs. It will activate a quest if the user accepts the quest. In this case, place it on an npc or an object that can trigger the accept method. And, it will check for progression of the quest, in which case place it on an item that needs to be collected or an enemy that needs to be destroyed. These objects will need to trigger the progression method.

If the quest component has a 2D collider set to “Is Trigger” and the player has the PickUpItems component, the quest item can be automatically accepted by the player.

Property
Quest SO	Choose the quest that needs to be activated.
Quest UI	The reference to QuestUI, which will display quest information. This is optional.
Add To Journal	If the item is found, it will be added to the specified journal if it exists in the scene.
OnQuestAccepted	The Unity Event invoked when the quest has been accepted.
OnQuestCompleted	The Unity Event invoked when the quest has been completed.

Property	Methods
OpenQuestWindow()	If QuestUI exists, it will be opened.
AcceptQuest()	Call this method to accept the quest. This will invoke OnQuestAccepted, and the quest will be considered active.
ProgressQuest()	Call this method to progress the quest. For example, if the player is tasked with collecting three coins, then each coin should call this method when it’s collected. Each time this method is called, it will increment the quest towards the goal, and once it’s of equal value to the goal, the quest will complete. This will invoke OnQuestCompleted.
