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
