It allows for the registration, tracking, and completion of quests, with various events and callbacks to handle quest-related activities. Quest here is a set of tasks that player needs to complete the quest. Just trigger in a required place a function call like `quest.event("collect", "coin")` and all logic will be handled automatically. ## Features - **Quest Management** - Create, start, and complete quests with ease. - **Quest Progress** - Track the progress of quests and their tasks. - **Quest Events** - Listen for quest-related events and adjust it for your needs. - **Quest Configs** - Flexible quest config system which allows to use quests in various ways. ## Setup See the [**Defold Quest**](https://github.com/Insality/defold-quest) repository on Github - [Setup](https://github.com/Insality/defold-quest?tab=readme-ov-file#setup) - [API Reference](https://github.com/Insality/defold-quest/?tab=readme-ov-file#quick-api-reference) - [Use Cases](https://github.com/Insality/defold-quest/blob/main/USE_CASES.md) ## Basic Usage In Quest library, you have to create a config for quests and start quest system. After that you can trigger events for quests and subscribe to events to handle them for your needs. ```lua local quest = require("quest.quest") -- Fill the quests config and start quest system quest.init({ ["quest_01"] = { autostart = true, autofinish = true, category = "quests", tasks = { { action = "intro_completed" } }, }, ["quest_02"] = { autostart = true, autofinish = true, category = "quests", required_quests = { "quest_01" }, tasks = { { action = "collect", object = "coin", required = 10 } }, }, ["quest_03"] = { autostart = true, autofinish = true, category = "quests", required_quests = { "quest_02" }, tasks = { { action = "kill", object = "enemy", required = 5 }, { action = "kill", object = "boss", required = 1 } }, }, }) -- Throw events for active quests quest.event("kill", "enemy") quest.event("kill", "enemy", 2) quest.event("collect", "coin", 3) -- Subscribe to quest events to handle them for your needs quest.on_quest_event:subscribe(function(event_data) print("Type", event_data.type) -- "register"|"start"|"progress"|"task_completed"|"completed" print("Quest ID", event_data.quest_id) -- Quest ID print("Quest Config", event_data.quest_config) -- Quest Config table print("Delta", event_data.delta) -- Progress delta (for "progress" type) print("Total", event_data.total) -- Total progress (for "progress" type) print("Task Index", event_data.task_index) -- Task index (for "progress" and "task_completed" types) -- This is a queue and we have to handle event by returning true -- If we don't return true, the event will be fired again return true end) -- Check if any quest is active for specific action and object local quests = quest.get_current_with_task("kill", "boss") ``` Read [Use Cases](https://github.com/Insality/defold-quest/blob/main/USE_CASES.md) for more examples. ## ❤ Support project ❤ Your donation helps me stay engaged in creating valuable projects for **Defold**.
