Nice!

Okay lemme try to lay something out.

So first I’d suggest having a ModuleScript to uh make and hold quests like this for example:

local Quest = {}
Quest.__index = Quest

function Quest.new(player)
   local self = setmetatable({}, Quest)
   self.__index = Quest
   self.Player = player
   return Quest
end

function Quest:Complete()
   -- how you’d handle stuff here
end

Then you should store the amount of quests completed by the player in a datastore.

Now you’re gonna have to do the above of use another method because quests are usually not completable again (in a lot of games) like a cutscene that only shows up once.

Or an item you can only use once… so you can’t just do some verification like that

I don’t have a lot of experience but I’ve just been using the dialog choice to trigger certain stages in progression. I use a table to indicate what dialogs are left in the quest.

I use that of 5uphis, to put all the Quete accomplished I must give it a name as well as put it in a table (in the dataBase)

Just had a question, the “player” is to assign the quest to the player?
