So, you got admin at whatever server and want to start making quests? Good for you.
Will first thing's first lets start with some simple quests...


Packs | | Bots

Packs:

Well we can't just start off into questing. First you need to learn the basics. And how to use those Admin Commands from the other page. We'll begin with Packs, packs are basically what they sound like. You can put almost anything inside one from SP, Exp, LCK to any item you want. Great for prizes. But, you can also put a bot or group of bots inside a pack, we'll leave that for a bit later though.

How to spawn a pack.

(After admining yourself to atelast lvl 3) Type this in the chat box.

#spawnpack test | * * COINS 1
This will spawn a pack on your crosshairs with one coin in it.(The | character is typed by useing shift with your backslash key) Now, lets say you want to spawn a pack at a specific place on the map. You do that by typing in the coordinates of the place you want it to spawn.

#spawnpack test 200 100 100 | * * COINS 1
This will spawn a pack at position 200, 100, 100.(x, y, z) with one coin in it.Good, now lets say you want to give the pack a name. All you have to do is replace the first star with what you want to name the pack.

#spawnpack test 200 100 100 | bob * COINS 1
Now it will say "You have found Bob's pack." when you pick it up. Lets say you only want the player named Bob to be able to pick up the pack then you replace the second star with bob's name.

#spawnpack test 200 100 100 | bob bob COINS 1
Now only bob can pick up that pack. This is good for protecting if your in danger of another player taking it before Bob has time to.
#spawnpack test | * * #call block ^victimName
Now we can have some fun with that one. A block is a set of commands that can be executed and re-executed as many times as you want, buy just calling the block name. This pack will spawn the block and sends the name of the person that picked it up…The ^victimName, section will be explained later.

Bots:

Spawning bots is also one of the most common used Admin Command for making quests. You can create a custom bot to your likeing. It can be whatever type you choose, whatever lvl you want and have whatever items you allow it. Making fairly strong bots with a good item is nice way to make a fast quests. A player can come, engage in that dramatic trpg battle we love so much (swing at eachother until the player or the bot falls). If the bot dies, the player gets the item as well as a decent amount of experience points. If the player loses, well maybe he should get his LCK back just for trying.

How to spawn a bot.The raw code is simply

#spawn botType displayName loadout [team] {x} {y} {z}
This won't do much on its own, but if you fill it in you can be in bot heaven. We'll go slow for the new kids.
botType: Is the kind of bot you want, in a basetrpg mod there are 30+ classes you can set this too, unfortunately most look the same. You can find these classes in eneyarmor.cs in scripts.vol, it too many for me to list here.
displayName: This is the name you'll see if you put your crosshair from on the bot, it can be anything you want. Hence the break down of it... Display Name = name displayed.
loadout: This is the name for the set of items this bot is carrying. I'll explain it before I get done with Bots, but hold your horses, theres still 2 more things to go over.
[team]: The team you want your bot on.The [ ] symbols are not included. There are 8 Teams, the most common one is used is team 1 it is called Team Enemy. I'll be using that, its good to have all your bots on the same team, unless you want them attacking eachother. (Fun but sometimes they leave the players out of the action.)
{x} {y} {z}: Again leave out the { }. This is optional it tells the bot where to spawn if you don't put anything here it will spawn on your crosshairs. These numbers are just like those on the pack.

Knowing this we can begin.
