Displaying Quests
Now that we've created our quest, we want to display it to the player. First, we need to track the quest.
Quest Tracking
Tracking a quest is for displaying the quest progress to the player. Other entries can use the tracked quest to display information to the player.
:::warning Important While many quests can be active at the same time, only one quest can be tracked at a time. :::
You can manually track a quest with the /tw quest track <quest_id> command.
Or with the Track Quest Action entry.
Additionally, Typewriter will automatically track quests when the quest becomes active. Or when a objective becomes active and has a higher priority than the currently tracked quest.
Placeholders
There are a few custom placeholders that can be used to display information to the player.
| Placeholder | Description |
|---|---|
%typewriter_tracked_quest% | The name of the tracked quest. |
%typewriter_tracked_objectives% | A list of the objecteves of the tracked quest joined by a comma. |
Sidebar
If Typewriter is managing your sidebar, you can use the Objective Lines Entry to display the objectives of the tracked quest.
A possible setup for the sidebar could be:
- Quest Display Manifest
This is an interactive graph of all the entries in the selected pages.
You can view different pages by clicking on the tabs. Each page contains a view of the entries in that page.
Click on an entry to view its details.
Quest Status Changes
You can also display when a quest becomes active or is completed. Maybe by showing a title or particles.
A possible setup for this could be:
- Quest Display Sequence
This is an interactive graph of all the entries in the selected pages.
You can view different pages by clicking on the tabs. Each page contains a view of the entries in that page.
