I'd like to create an NPC that rewards players with an item after they have provided certain other items. The idea is that all players on the server can collaborate to gather the items and once the NPC has received one of each item any player can receive the reward from the NPC, once.
I'm very new to Denizen so I was hoping that you could point me in the right direction on how to approach this and which commands would come in handy. Is this possible at all with Denizen? How can I keep track of which items the NPC has received? Can I assign tags to players to keep track of whether they received the reward? Are these persistent across server restarts? Thanks!

first off, welcome to denizen! second off, reading the guide will definitely give you a better understanding of denizen, it’s syntax, alongside some of what it can do. as far as what you’ve described there, it is certainly possible.

@glass yew how can I run a step if the player has a certain item? I have seen this example using an item defined in denizen:

my_item_quest_item:
    type: item

click trigger:
    # If the player has the item,
    1:
        trigger: my_item_quest_item

However Id like to use regular items that the player has found in the world. I tried this but that doesn't seem to work:

click trigger:
                1:
                    trigger: crying_obsidian
                    script:
                    - chat "You've obtained the Crying Obsidian! Well done!"
                    - take item:crying_obsidian
                    - flag server gave_crying_obsidian:true
                2:
                    script:
                    - if <server.has_flag[gave_crying_obsidian]>:
                      - chat "Well done. You have brought all of the materials."
                      - narrate "Talk to the NPC again to receive your rewards."
                      - flag server wem_quest_solved:true
                      - zap all_items_turned_in
                    - else:
                      - chat "Looks like you didn't bring me any of the materials that I have requested."

I would expect it to take my crying obsidian if I have it and then advance to all_items_turned_in, but the NPC just says "Looks like you didn't bring me any of the materials that I have requested."

ah I had to hold it in my hand
looks like everything is working, thanks again for pointing me in the right direction :)

#

you're flagging the server with the player specific quest

#

thats a huge problem

#

flag the player instead

ruby junco
#

thats the point, I want everyone to work on it together and if anyone completes it everyone gets a reward

pulsar quartz
#

oo then sorry mb yeah thats the way to go

^ you can use this if you want to not make them hold it in their hand

#

also, no need to use :true when applying flags, that's just the default state

#

just use
- flag server gave_crying_obsidian if you want to do that
