Code:
mob
    NPC
        Quest1
            icon='QuestPeople.dmi'
            name="Bob"
            New()
                ..()
                for(var/mob/m in world)
                    if(!m.quest1&&m.client)
                        var/obj/questmark/l=new /obj/questmark
                        var/image/i=image(l,src)
                        m<<i
            proc/endquest(mob/M)
                for(var/i in M.client.images)del(i)


Problem description:
I didn't bother testing out the help that Mysame gave me till now, and it doesn't work. Anybody know what the problem is?

The NPC is created before you're technically in the game ... Let it sleep(50) or something before it checks for what mobs in-game need to do his quest.

But doesn't for() loop constantly? I will do it anyway and see.


EDIT: That actualy worked, Thanx man.

Another problem, sorry. I did some test verbs to see how it would work.
mob/verb
    endq()
        src.quest1=1
        for(var/i in src.client.images)del(i)
    q()
        src.quest1=0

For some reason the for() is not looping, and re-adding the mark when i put qyest1 back at 0. I'm not really worried about that much, but what if i put another quest on him that doesn't appear till say, lvl 20?, if its not looping, how will that work?


EDIT: Also, i just logged in on a diff key, and it wouldn't add. So it definitly isn't looping.

Would something like this work?
mob/proc/quest1
    for(var/mob/m in world)
         if(!m.quest1)
              var/obj/questmark/l=new /obj/questmark
              var/image/i=image(l,src)
              m<<i
    spawn(10)
        quest1()


Then under New() on the npc, put quest1().

for()=/=while(). I think you should look it up, a for() doesn't loop constantly. It just loops 'till it's finished.

Actually a for() with no arguements inside it would never finish, so it's a loop. :P
