This is working great but if I may, just one more quick brain pick. I don’t want this running all the time, only when there is an active quest. to do this, i created a quest marker that spawns when a quest is active. its the same exact thing like what you have in your videos, the only difference is it is created at runtime.
Also, I am creating the widget when the quest begins.
I get the following error:
I thought maybe I need to spawn the widget and then the quest end location actor in a certain sequence. I’ve been playing around with it a lot but getting nowhere. What funny is that if i start the quest, save, and then restart the game (the quest still active because that saves too), it works on restart.
Hopefully that’s a good enough explanation. Below is my logic (i got rid of tick because it scares me haha):
This one should be familiar to you -
Here is how i add/remove the widget itself -
Finally, and promise you won’t laugh, here is how I am handling quests -
as you can see in the third pic, I spawn the quest destination actor, activate the event timer from the first pic, and then call the create widget in the second pic. All three of these images are in the character BP.
I suppose it bears some importance to show you how the quest destination actor operates:
Essentially, once you overlap, it calls the “remove indicator” event in the second pic, closes the branch that allows the event timer from the first pic, and then destroys itself (i tried pause/resume timer but it is buggy). it does not increment the quest number variable, because I’m just pointing people to destinations in the persistent level. the actual event to increment the next quest and start everything all over again happens in a sub-level and is probably another issue for another day.
Sorry for the novel. I hope it’s not too much and I appreciate your excellent help thus far!
