New and need a little help with a quest.

[Mylz17]

Hi all. First off, I just want to say THANK YOU for everything. This site, the wiki, and all the work put into this project is amazing. I have learned so much, and have been able to do a lot on my own using the wealth of information that is available.

I'm reaching out for some help here. Maybe it's too late and I just can't find what I am looking for. Anyway, I am working on making a simple quest/task. I have already created the task in the tasks and activities tables of my database and now I need to implement the task into the game, but I don't want the task to just show up on a hail, I want it to only start when an item is handed in, and most importantly, given back to the player.

So basically its...
Hail NPC.
NPC responds that they won't speak with you unless you hand in a item.
Hand in item.
NPC returns item.
Task pops up.

Can someone please point me in the right direction? Also, is there a tool that simplifies creating tasks, because editing the task and activity tables to create a new task (and hopefully those are the only 2) was painful. I can only imagine making 1 error and having to go back to figure out what it was!

Thanks.
