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.
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.
