I'm hoping someone can help me with this, as I'm not toooo savy with triggers. I'm working on a very basic questing script. One problem, I have about 100 triggers for this one script (One for each area/place).

I need to know if I can condense it down to about 4 different triggers using the if/then statements (One for item, one for location, one for retrieval, one for bad quest areas)

I've already got the bad quest areas taken care of (There's not too many, so I used Area|Area|Area etc, already got item and retrieval taken care of, so, this is what I need to do (100 triggers is causing it to lag juuuust a little)

If you can cut down triggers drastically yes...
^(*) says 'Look in the general area of Forbidden Forest for (*)!'$

20 south, 10 east, get %2, recall,
#if (%1 = "The High Priest of Arkane") {go back to quester1}
#if (%2 = "The High Priestess of Divine") {go back to quester2}

pq complete

Use Quotes for it to work correctly....

#if ("%1" = "The High Priest of Arkane") {go back to quester1}
#if ("%2" = "The High Priestess of Divine") {go back to quester2}

Ok, so I would use for example....

For the Prompt from the mud, what I used to have as this
^The High Priest of Arkane says 'Look in the general area of Forbidden Forest for A Boulder Strewn Field!'$

I could change to :
^The High Priest of Arkane says '(*)'$
#IF ("%1"="Look in the general area of Forbidden Forest for A Boulder Stren Field") {directions to quest item}
Would that work? Or does the coding require anything else for the long quote ?

I actually made something similar, what you do is store everything in paths, first areas, then specific rooms. From the entrance of the area. If you have the areas mapped though, this could be done easier by making it walk you to the specific room as listed on the map.

then trigger:
^The High Priest of Arkane says 'Look in the general area of &q_area for &q_room!'$

#exec {.@q_area}
#walk short room name

*nod* With the help, I reduced 100 trigs to 9, runs *MUCH* faster now.
