Four walkthroughs in one: the quest server, custom quest items, the quest giver, and then a whole quest built from an empty form.
Drakkhis goes through the SL Colonies quest system properly β what each piece is for, and how they fit together once you actually sit down to write a job for your players.
π THE QUEST SERVER holds your rewards. Second Life objects go in through its contents and can be given out as often as you like; in-game items go in from your own inventory and are counted down as they are handed over.
π± CUSTOM QUEST ITEMS invent actions the game does not have. Drop the scripts into any object, give it a name and an action β pet a cat, read a tome β and it becomes something a quest can ask for. Built-in actions are refused outright, so you cannot redefine gathering by accident.
π§ THE QUEST GIVER goes in any object you like, and there is a reason it is not animesh: animesh makes people right-click and choose Touch, and a quest giver should answer a plain left-click. Set its reach in metres, then tick GIVE and TURN IN β a giver can do one, the other, or both, so a job can be taken in one place and handed in somewhere else.
π§± THEN THE QUEST ITSELF, step by step: who may take it, by profession, profession level or stat. What they must already be carrying. What they are handed on the way in. What they have to DO β cook, gather, mill, plough, plant, or an action you invented β and how many times. What gets taken at the end, and what gets given.
π‘ CXP and coin rewards are worked out by the system from the quest's own complexity. Ask for little and it pays little; ask for a week's work and it pays accordingly.
