Stendhal Quest Coding: Difference between revisions

As you probably know NPCs can say words in blue, words that they expect to be repeated by the player. We want to add such words for "beer" and "tavern". As we have done before, we will add npc.addReply lines for those words.

So, how do we get the words colored blue? Simple, add a "#" in front of them. If you actually want to include a #-character, you need to repeat it.

<source lang="java">

public void prepareQuestStep() {

// get a reference to the Hayunn npc

SpeakerNPC npc = npcs.get("Hayunn Naratha");

// ask for a beer and explain it

npc.addReply(ConversationPhrases.QUEST_MESSAGES,

"Please bring me a #beer.");

// explain blue words

npc.addReply("beer", "Margaret sells beers in the #tavern.");

npc.addReply("tavern", "If you don't know where the inn is, you could ask old Monogenes.");

// an example for escaping #

npc.addReply("trading", "http://stendhal.game-host.org/wiki/index.php/StendhalFAQ##Trading");

}

You know the drill: Compile, restart and try it out.
