Another great plugin of yours I am using and have some more to add!  But I do have a question.  This is quite possibly due to a setting I am missing (been through your WiKi numerous times and looked at all settings in the plugin) but I am having two 'issues':  In the Quest Log when looking at a Quest it shows only one Objective first, then shows the first and second after completing the first objective and then shows all three (there are three objectives in this particular quest) objectives.  It does show completed objectives as being complete but I was wondering how to get all of the objectives to show once the quest has been discovered/started.  I believe I see that in the second screenshot down on the left on your site.

Secondly, it is showing the objectives in reverse order.  Once the first objective is completed and are working on the second it will show the first with the completed icon and the second objective then shows above it.  After completing the second objective the first two show as completed with the third above them.

Once I can show all of them upon starting the quest it would be important for them to show in the proper order (first on top then on down) as the events are coded to be done in a certain order and if a player tries to follow the order the objectives show they may get confused because the events won't allow them to proceed without following the proper order.

The only way I could get them to show in order was to reverse the order in the objectives panel of the plugin but since I am auto tracking each objective with a variable then the quest would complete after the first task as it was listed last to get them to show in the proper order.

Greatly appreciate any help.  I may even do some kind of in-depth tutorial eventually once I have a better hang of it.  But also greatly appreciate your contributions through plugins!

Hi, I am glad you enjoy the plugins😁!

The objectives display by quest stage, it sounds like you might have some objectives on stage 1 and others on stage 2? If you want all objectives to show on the first stage, make all of your objectives have 1 for their stage parameter. I think that will also help out with getting them to display in the order you want.

Yes! That did it!  Clearly I misunderstood the goal of stages.  I had set each objective to a separate stage believing that THAT established the order of the objectives when in fact it did the opposite.  Thank you so much for the prompt response and that is another reason that I will continue to use/buy your plugins!

No problem, the idea behind stages is that you might want to have stage 1 be collect 10 raw slimes, then stage 2 be to create a campfire and then cook 10 raw slimes, then stage 3 might be to turn the cooked slimes in to an NPC, with the idea being that people may want to only display the objectives for the stage the player is on. Of course if you want to display them all at the same time that is fine too 😁

This is actually a very helpful feature as one or two quests which I had already coded events for before adding your quest system have plot twists so this will help not give the away twists by showing those objectives immediately.  I figured out the use of stages when I read the text in the stages box.  I mistook stages for the order I am suggesting objectives be completed.  Fully understood now haha
