Create A Quest System
This guide provides instructions for setting up the Quest system. In the sample app, the trigger area is outlined in blue. Once the avatar enters into the blue area, the Quest system starts. The 1st task informs the avatar to fly. Once the avatar flies and reaches the trigger area in the air, the 1st task is complete and the Quest system updates. The 2nd task directs the avatar to fly through the rings. Each ring the avatar flies through adds progress to the Quest system. Once the avatar flies through all the rings, the 2nd task is complete and, which completes the quest.
The avatar is outside the blue trigger area and the Quest system has not started.
The avatar has entered the blue trigger area and Quest system is visible.
The 1st task instructs the avatar to fly.
Once the avatar enters the trigger area, the 1st task is complete.
The avatar passes through the 1st ring and progress is added to the 2nd task.
The avatar passes through the final ring and that completes the 2nd task of the quest.
A. Click the plus sign beside the Add quest field.
B. Give the quest a name in the Quest name field.

A. In this example, a trigger area is created and when the avatar enters the trigger area, the Quest System starts. Any object can be used as a trigger, as long as the object has a Collision component. Because this specific example creates an empty area that the avatar and other objects can pass through, a simple entity with a box shape is used instead of a 3D object. The entity does not have a RigidBody component added. Right-click in the Hierarchy and select New Entity > Entity. Click the "Add Component" button. Select Physics > Collision to add a Collision component.
B. Resize the collider to the desired size. In this example, the Half Extents field has been set to (2.5, .5, 2.5) for X, Y, Z.
C. The entity itself is currently set to Position (0, 0, 0) for X, Y, Z. In this example, the values for Position Offset are set to (0, -2, 0) for X, Y, Z to lower the collider to the ground.
