If you have questions, comments, etc. regarding my Quest script, you can contact me directly or post to this thread (which I recommend because I read the posts in the forum more actively than my Store account).
Video about the script:

Description:
This script creates a flexible alternative for a Quest system.
Features:
- 5 Quest types (Get, Give, Bribe, Kill, Destroy)
- 5 Rewards (Weapon, Admission, EXP, Gold, HP)
- 4 RPG compatible AI:s for Kill Quest (Character, Creature, Taurus, Zombie)
- 5 FPS compatible AI:s for Kill Quest (Character, Creature, Taurus, Zombie, Soldier)
- NPC character that tells player's Quest status
- Bonus: 2 Objects with EXP threshold (Weapon, Door)
Getting started:
1) Place a character entity into your map with AI System:Main set to moshroom_quest_begin.lua. ("Initiator")
2) Change the name of the entity to a number between 1 and 9999. This will link together all the parts of a certain Quest.
3) Place an entity into your map with AI System:Main set to moshroom_quest_bribe.lua, moshroom_quest_destroy.lua, moshroom_quest_getitem.lua, moshroom_quest_giveitem.lua or moshroom_quest_kill_N.lua.
4) Change the name of the entity to a number between 1 and 9999. Make sure that this is the same number you used previously.
5) Make sure that Static Mode -boolean is set to No.
Setting a reward - Option 1:
6) Place an entity into your map with AI System:Main set to moshroom_quest_reward_door.lua or moshroom_quest_reward_weapon.lua.
7) Change the name of the entity to a number between 1 and 9999 as previously.
Setting a reward - Option 2:
6) Change the Strength value of the Initiator (entity with moshroom_quest_begin.lua) to set the amount of the Reward.
7) Reward type will depend on other RPG scripts in use. If there is RPG AI on the map, reward will be EXP. If there is RPG Shop in the map, reward will be Gold. If there are no RPG scripts on the map, reward will be Health.

NPC : Quest Overview

Misc : Quest Door
The door is locked until player accepted certain Quest (use number in the Name field of the doors like previously).
Misc : EXP Door
The door is locked until player has collected the amount of EXP defined in the Strength parameter of the EXP Door.
Misc : EXP Weapon
The weapon is uncollectable until player has collected the amount of EXP defined in the Strength parameter of the EXP Door entity.
How to customize:
1) Create Quests folder (Game Guru\Files\Quests\)
2) Create dat file to Quests folder to override a default dialogue (eg. Game Guru\Files\Quests\request1.dat)
3) Write text to your dat file.
Data files (X = Quest number):
nameX.dat - Name of the
target entity. Works with every Quest type. If there is no name set, the name of the entity will be "???" and the Initiator will use vague terms when speaking about the target (e.g. "There's something I want you to destroy."
initiateX.dat - Two first lines of this file are read.
First line will be used as the
name of the Initiator (entity with moshroom_quest_begin.lua). Second line will be the conversation initiation line of the character. If these aren't set, the name of the character will be "???" and the initiation line will be "Hey you! Got a minute?".
requestX.dat - The Initiator will speak these lines before the Quest has been accepted. Each line in the file represents a sentence the character will speak between player pressing E.
activeX.dat - The Initiator will speak these lines after the Quest has been accepted but before it's finished. Each line in the file represents a sentence the character will speak between player pressing E. If there is only one line and there are multiple targets, the amount of remaining targets will also be shown.
completedX.dat - The Initiator will speak these lines after the Quest is finished. Each line in the file represents a sentence the character will speak between player pressing E.
bribeX.dat - The target character of the Bribe Quest will speak these lines after the Quest has been accepted. Each line in the file represents a sentence the character will speak between player pressing E.
giveX.dat - The target character of the Give Quest will speak these lines before the Quest has been accepted. Each line in the file represents a sentence the character will speak between player pressing E.
killX.dat - The target character of the RPG Kill Quest will speak these lines before the Quest has been accepted (Note that the target of the FPS Kill Quest will be active even before initiating the Quest and therefore never talks these lines). Each line in the file represents a sentence the character will speak between player pressing E.
destroyX.dat - This will be shown when player approaches the target of the Destroy Quest. First line will be shown if player approaches the entity before the Quest has been accepted and the second one after the Quest has been accepted.
itemX.dat - This will be shown when player approaches the target of the Get Quest. First line will be shown if player approaches the entity before the Quest has been accepted and the second one after the Quest has been accepted.
doorX.dat - This will be shown when player approaches a Quest Door or Reward Door before the Quest has been initiated.
