= Myriad Lite BAM Adventure Giver NPC =

All quests start and end with an NPC. The first quest NPC would be fictional task 100, and each step of the quest would be 101, 102, etc, and when done, the player returns to the quest NPC to claim the prize.

== Setup ==
There are a number steps and configurable items for a BAM Adventure Giver NPC:
# Create your quest NPC item.
# Drop in the BAM Adventure Giver NPC script.
# Edit the "Adventure Specific Configuration" section at the top of the script. The variables are explained next.
## Set MSG_NPCNAME to the NPC's game name
## Choose a hovertext color for the NPC - http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Category:LSL_Color
## Choose an alpha/transparency - 0.0 is totally clear, 1.0 is totally visible.
## ADVNAME: Adventure Name - set a short name for this adventure. Example: "Red Salt Quest"
## ADVTEXT: Adventure Description - set a short one-line description for this adventure. Example: "Find the rest salt for the baker"
## ADV_ATTRACT: Attract Message - Set a message for the NPC to attract player help. Example: " can you help me find some red salt?"
## MSG_OWNER_STARTADV: Message to owner that player started adventure. Example: " has started Red Salt Quest"
## ADV_ALL_TASKS: list of all task numbers that MUST be completed to get the prize. Example: "101, 102" NOTE: This list is a comma-separated values list, so there should be a SPACE after each comma. If the adventure does not finish when the player has performed all tasks, check this first!
## MSG_ADV_INCOMPLETE: what NPC should say if player comes back with not all tasks complete. Example: " Not done yet?"
## MSG_OWNER_DONEADV: message to quest owner when player finishes a quest. Example: "has completed Red Salt Quest"
## ADVDONETEXT: message from NPC to player that the quest is done. Example: "Thanks for finding red salt for me!"
## ADVDONEUUID: uuid key of a sound to play when player is successful on the quest, like a fanfare. Example: a "TA-DA" horn sound Can be the name of a sound effect file in the NPC object inventory too.
## PRIZENAME: name of a prize object in NPC object inventory to give to the player when they finish the quest. Example: Sweet roll or NONE. Put the Prize object in the NPC's object inventory. The key value NONE means do not give a prize at the end of the quest.
## ADVTASKTDNUM: the task to-do number of the NEXT TASK. Example: 101
## ADTASKTODO: a text description of the NEXT TASK the player should do. Example: "Find the Red Salt Mine."
## ADVTASKTODOHINT: a hint for the player on how to complete the NEXT TASK they are being given. Example: "You think the Red Salt Mine is northeast."
## TRIGGERWAIT: how long in seconds before a player can re-trigger this NPC or goal. Example: 60
## PRIZEWAIT: how long in seconds between when player can re-do quest and get the prize again. Example: 3600 (= 1 hour, or 86400 = 1 day)
## EVENTTIMER: how long between timer events, the smaller the number, the more lag. Example: 15.0 The timer processes the trigger and prize given lists to expire old entries - too long a wait between timers means longer before players can retry the quests.
# Save the script and let the NPC restart.
# Move on to creating the quest goals for this NPC's quest.
