Quest Help

Post by cooper37 »

Hi. I'm new using sandbox, and I pretty much have everything down, except making a quest. I don't know how to make the spawns have text, or start, or rather create a text. I don't know how to create enemies or make them respond to the player's presence. I also need help on how to create my own spells. Finally, when I calculate the light, everything is dark. I would like shadows between my buildings and in allies. If anyone can help me with these problems, that'll be awesome. :D

I recommend to take a look at sandbox tutorials page... which can be found here: http://sandboxgamemaker.com/wiki/index. ... =Main_Page
If you select tutorials there, then you will find some about making NPC-s and other stuff... Also I will add tutorials there almost every day!

To make spells take a look of the rpg.cfg , there can put spells and i think you can put the level_trigger and the guis to make conversation and to enemies too, but if not run the trigger in the rpg.cfg try it in the mapname.cfg are in packages/base but if u not put there find the platinumarts folder in program archives.
I think this can help
PD: if i said wrong please excuse me! Because i don't try it.
PD2:i don't try it because im busy in one thing of PAS :P

Thanks for the help. But what about my light problem? Is it that I don't place enough light particles?

Can be a lot of motives the light fail, and one can be because you got any bug in the cfg,
or place bad lights, or no know make lights good, or... you can see are a lot of possible problems!
See good and find the problem
