Finishing our NPC
We'll need a few "If/Then" blocks
The NPC needs to react to you finishing their quest
Watch him react to the player picking up his treasure
Here's how it's done
First, we program the quest item
We have to make sure the treasure doesn't appear until we accept the quest!
Create a variable to determine if the player has gotten the treasure
It should start out as False because the player doesn't have the item when you start the game
The variable switches to "True" when the player picks up the treasure
Make sure you make the treasure disappear when the player picks it up!
Now for the NPC
The NPC has to know when you picked up the treasure
We can program this with an If/Then/Else Block
Task
☐Finish programming the quest parameters. The NPC should give the player a quest, and react to them finishing it
