i have literally tried running your quest log script numerous times but i keep coming up with an error. I've read over and over again about the parameters and what not but I don't actually get what is up with my coding. The only thing I changed at first was the name of the quest and different objectives but that didn't work so i tried using the default quest (the fetch quests) and even that didn't work...
what do you suggest? I've been thinking of just using conditional branches even though that's going to be hard to keep track of. :'(
This would have been better in the actual thread for the script.
Firstly, what is the error? The error message that comes up, whilst not looking very important, often tells a big story.
The problem is, we have no idea what you're doing or what is happening. It's working for everyone else, so it's likely to be something you've done (probably inadvertently). Error messages can tell us what isn't working, or most often than not, what the compiler tried to do and couldn't.
oh yeah, i get what you mean. so i'ma just show you. I put the script back into my game and ran it so i could get the error screen. its in the picture below
Well, usually if it's a problem with the script itself, it says as much. Something like "Error occurred in x script at line y." This is pretty generic. I get these kinds of errors through use of a script in an Event.
Have you tried:
using a fresh, new copy of the latest version of the Quest Log script? Don't make any changes to the script, just put that in (instead of what you have) and run the game.
If you still get an issue, it's going to be something else and not the quest log. If you don't get any issues it might be the version you have (or still something else completely). But let's just figure out if it's Quest Log first.
thanx (^_^). currently re-reading. will try that as soon as i'm done and post back here if i'm lost in utmost despair.
An error like that occurs when either evaluating string in the script editor or running a script command through an event. In that case, you're calling a method on an object that doesn't exist, so it's throwing that error.
When are you receiving this error? If it's during an event script call, tell us what's in the command.
will do. just let me try and get my head around this first. (this site has amazing support. you guys are one radioactive hit away from being superheroes)
I've got a new curiosity. I included the a Paragraph Formatter script before the Quest log and it just occurred to me that could be the reason why simply because i am unsure as to whether or not I was suppose to edit the paragraph formatter and change its default settings...
There are default settings in Paragraph Formatter? I have v2.0 and it has no settings to change.
It's more of a tool for scripters to use for displaying long strings in a proper formatted style (so it doesn't look silly). It doesn't need any changes made to it, though.
oh okay then, cool. thanks. :-)
