If you have a new project, you can simply connect a ready-made character in your project! To do this, go to: //Project Settings/Maps & Mode/Default GameMode/ Here just select BP_GameMode and you will have a customized character.
Connecting your character
To connect the system to your character, simply add a component to the character BP_QuestComponent. The system is fully connected and ready to work!
Creating a new task
To create a new task, you need to create a child class from BP_MasterQuest. In the created task, you need to fill in the structure Quest Info and then, in the editor window, build the very structure of the task using the functions of the system. For example, 2 tasks have already been created in the asset BP_Quest_01, BP_Quest_02 which you can quickly get used to. Here is an example of creating a new task.
The task should require the player to visit 2 places in turn and then interact with the NPC.
Create a class - Creating a task BP_Quest_01 as a child of BP_MasterQuest and open it.
Adding a description - To the array Quest Stage let's add 3 cells of the stages of the task. The first stage will require the player to visit 2 places in turn. Inside the stage slot, we add 2 task slots Task Goal. We enter the names of each task and set the default values:
Update to update a stage task.
Show to display information on the screen. Also, for example, we make a description in step 2 and 3.
Updating a task - Adding an event to the graph Event Update Quest with switch and function Get Stage Current after that, we implement the code of each stage.
Stage 0 it has an input design for updating each task by number. Using a macro The Only Launch so that the task is updated only 1 time. We create a trigger with the required ID and delete it on the trigger event and run the next similar task after completing which we start updating the next stage and move on to the next stage.
Stage 1 also, when updating 1 time, creates an item in the world and uses its interaction event. After which the transition to the next stage is performed.
Stage 2 created simply for a separate description of the completed task and the transfer of the task to the completed status.
Completing a task - Adding an event to the graph Event End in order to display a message that the task has been completed. Here you can also give the player a reward
Quit the task - Also, in case the task is thrown, we add an event to the graph Event Trow and we remove the triggers of the task.
You can start the created task with the function Start Quest in which you need to specify the task class. Also attached is a video showing the implementation of this task
