So, I am making an NPC quest system. I have finished the basic stuff, like NPC talking to you—basically, the chat function with the NPC is finished. But the problem is: How do I make the quest functionality work?
I want each NPC to have a quest, like:
- “Oh, go bring some boxes.”
- “Oh, go talk to the other NPC.”
So, I have three main scripts:
- A server script that sets up a
ProximityPromptfor each character in a folder and initializes quest data for each player. - When a player triggers the
ProximityPrompt, the server script sends a remote event to a local script.
-- here is the server script
local Characters = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Characters")
local Promixty = script:WaitForChild("ProximityPrompt")
local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("NpcTalk")
local Players = game.Players
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
local Folder = Instance.new("Folder",Player)
Folder.Name = "Quest_Data"
local Quest = Instance.new("StringValue",Folder)
Quest.Name = "QUEST"
Quest.Value = ""
local QuestStage = Instance.new("IntValue",Folder)
QuestStage.Name = "QuestStage"
local QuestFinished = Instance.new("BoolValue",Folder)
QuestFinished.Name = "QuestFinshed"
QuestFinished.Value = false
end)
for _,Character in ipairs(Characters:GetChildren()) do
if Character:IsA("Model") then
local CLonedPromixty = Promixty:Clone()
CLonedPromixty.Parent = Character
CLonedPromixty.Triggered:Connect(function(Player)
Event:FireClient(Player,Character)
end)
end
end
And the client simply calls a function in a module script when the event is fired.
-- here is the local script
local MoudleQuest= require(game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ModuleScript"))
local ScreenUI = script.Parent
local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("NpcTalk")
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local PlayerCharacter:CharacterAppearance = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded
local CharactersFolder = game.Workspace.Characters
local PlayerHumanoid:Humanoid = PlayerCharacter:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local function TurnOffAllPromixty(Folder,TurnOffOn)
local onOff = if TurnOffOn then "On" else "Off"
print("turn"..onOff.." the Promixty ")
for _,Character:Model in ipairs(Folder:GetChildren()) do
local prompet = Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("ProximityPrompt")
if Character:IsA("Model") and prompet then
prompet.Enabled = TurnOffOn
end
end
end
Event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(Character:Model)
local Promixty = Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("ProximityPrompt")
TurnOffAllPromixty(CharactersFolder,false)
local a = MoudleQuest:SetUpQuest(ScreenUI,Character,Player)
TurnOffAllPromixty(CharactersFolder,true)
end)
PlayerHumanoid.Died:Connect(function()
TurnOffAllPromixty(CharactersFolder,true)
end)
Here is the main module script that handles the conversation between the player and the NPC.

local tweeninfo = TweenInfo.new(0.5,Enum.EasingStyle.Back,Enum.EasingDirection.In)
