RPG Elements?

#1 There's no easy way to make a quest system. In one game I'm writing, I'm kind-of "brute forcing" it. The quests are objects that have variables in them. As the player gets to certain areas, I change the variables, like in this horrible, horrible example below...

$princessQuest = new ScriptObject();
$princessQuest.name = "Find the Princess";
$princessQuest.text = "You need to find the princess in the dungeon!";
$princessQuest.complete = false;
$princessQuest.playerHas = false;

...

function talkToGuard()
{
  guardSays( $princessQuest.text );
  $princessQuest.playerHas = true;
  putPrincessInDungeon();
}

...

function talkToPrincess()
{
  if( $princessQuest.playerHas )
  {
    princessSay( "Thanks for finding me!" );
    $princessQuest.complete = true;
  }
  else
  {
    // Princess is either in the castle or the dungeon.
    // Since we don't have the quest, she's in the castle.
    princessSay( "I'm going to explore the dungeon!" );
  }
}

That example is *very* rough... after you design all of your quests, you can build a system that fits your quests and is generic.

You can build dialogs with the GUI system or with the t2dTextObjects in your scene.

#2 you are way too hard on yourself William, thanks for the example!

#3 I have made an RPG NPC/chat system for TGB, but it's a bit too complicated to share :/ It uses multiple scene windows and scenegraphs. There may be an easier way to do it using the built in GUI system, I'm not sure.
