Quest System won't print?

I am trying to make a quest system, but first I got help at hidden developers their answer wasn’t very correct, but they got me somewhere in the middle. The script is located in an NPCs head within a dialog.

The script does not print the choice name, it only does one line (line 1)

I have tried other solutions such as scripting helpers and youtube, but got no good results that worked.

local dialog = script.Parent
    
    dialog.DialogChoiceSelected:Connect(function(p, choice)
        
        print(choice.Name)
        
        if choice == dialog.acc then
            
            p.Stats.questA_active = true
            
        end
        
        if choice == dialog.cancel then
            
            p.Stats.questA_active = false
            
        end
        
    end)

The issue is not clear here, is print(choice.name) not printing?

Sorry about the delay, is this in a local script or server script? You may have them confused.

#5

Its a server script. 30charsss

#6

That’s the issue. Move it to a local script and if you want to change data values (Like a Shop gives weapons and takes money) use RemoteEvents.

#7

I knew it, but you can only use the DialogChoiceSelected function in a server script.

I guess todays just opposite day, well, I’ll try this and reply with what happens.

#10

Someone probably already mentioned this, server isn’t in local. Don’t worry pretty simple to chane.

#11

Didn’t work, doesn’t even print anything.
I can’t tell what’s going on anymore.

local dia = script.Parent
local evn = game.ReplicatedStorage.SendQuest

print("test")

dia.DialogChoiceSelected:Connect(function(p,choice)
	
	print("second test")
	print(choice.Name)
	
	if choice == dia.acc then
		
		evn:FireServer("coco","accept")
		
	end
	
	if choice == dia.cancel then
		
		evn:FireServer("coco","cancel")
		
	end
	
	
end)

Strange, ill try to find the issue for this.

#13

Sorry about the EXTREME delay my computer crashed and when I got it working I had forgotten about your issue. So “test” nor "second test’ is printing? Check Output for errors.

Also is this inside a dialog?

#14

Make sure the localscript is in a place it can actually run as well.

Can it run inside of a character or inside of a dialog?

#16

Yes it is within a dialog. :slight_smile: chars

#17

does “test” print? Is this your full LocalScript?
If test does print and this is not your full localScript;

Then something is messing up your script that is above “print(test)”

If test does not print and this is your full localScript;
Look in the console for errors

#18

Yes it can…
…

#19

There are no errors and test does not print and it is my full local script.

#20

We’re going to need the above of the script. It could indicate why “test” hasn’t printed. It could be because a loop hasn’t broken etc. Or as @Syclya mentioned, it could be because the script might not be in the right place.
