Tidloc's Questlog

Recommended Posts

Sorry if this has already been asked, but is there an easy way to make it so that it adds a quest to your quest log when you use a consumable item? I'm using this script as a codex, and I'd like for there to be a way for you to buy codex pages (quests) from stores, or have them drop from enemies. I'd also like to figure out how to make it so you gain a quest the first time you kill one of a certain type of enemy so that, for instance, the first time you kill a bat anywhere in the world, it adds the Bat entry to the codex.  Thanks in advance, sorry if this is a dumb question.

Hi!

I tried to implement something that can insert entries of enemies into the questlog, but so far I wasn't able to figure out how to trigger something when an enemy was killed... so no this isn't possible at the moment...
the second thing is possible anyways, follow this:

  • make an item consumable
  • create an on-use-effect
  • in the tab "other" choose a new common event
  • in this common event (with no trigger) enter the information you want to enter into the questlog

;)

That's very helpful, thanks! Now my only other question is: Is there a way to change the keys for text scrolling to the up and down arrows instead of the page up and page down keys?  Never mind. I realize that would make selecting different entries in a category more difficult.

I got this error message while putting in the script and was wondering anyone could help, so sorry I really don't know anything about scripting...

I've attached a picture of the error message.

erm, weird error, it's defined in that line, so why is it ranting it's not defined...? o.O
Are you using my header? Is the header placed above the questlog?

 

If this isn't helping, I can look into this deeper in ~3-4 hours.

I put your header script above the Questlog one but now I get this message:

 

script "Tidloc's Questlog" needs the script "HTML -tagging" in version 1.5.0 or higher to run!

Okay, thanks again! :)


I'm so sorry as the answer to my problem may seem quite obvious, but I'm quite new to your script and scripts in general...
When I was trying to implement a quest into my game I got this error message: Script "Game_interpreter" line 1411: SyntaxError occurred. unexpected ',', expecting ') ("Questlog", :call)
This is probably just my mistake, but I'm pretty sure that ("Questlog", :call) is what was put into the instructions, and I can't to find a way of changing the punctuation around in a was that it works.
Thanks a lot in advance.

 

I was stupid, I managed to fix this by myself.

Hi Tidloc.

 

So first off, I'd like to say that I saw your script in Novem's Custom Scripts Tutorial video on YouTube, and immediately fell in love with it. It is an AWESOME script and I really enjoy using it in my game.

 

However, I encountered a small issue with it the other day, and I've been looking through this forum to see if anyone else has this issue, but it doesn't seem so.

 

Basically, I was trying to have enemies randomly drop items when it came up with this message:

 

 

Script 'Questlog' line 1415: NoMethodError occurred.

 

undefined method 'name_html' for #<RPG::Item:0xc54b92c>

 

 

I was using the default items included with RPG Maker VX Ace, and a default system included in the database for enemy random drops. I have included pictures of the error, the items I was using, the mechanic/ function I was using and the script.

 

I'm sorry if this is a hassle, but what have I done wrong?
