CreateQuest

Defines a quest - its name, description, kind and objectives.

Nobody has the quest yet: give it to players with StartPlayerQuest or SetPlayerQuest. Refused for a definition without a name, a name over 96 characters, a description over 2000, more than 16 objectives, an objective text over 160 characters, a diary line over 400, an unknown kind, a marker that is not one, or a key that is not 1-64 letters, digits and _ . : - or is another quest’s already; the 1024th quest is the last.

Syntax

CreateQuest(definition)

Parameter	Type
definition	table	{key =, name =, description =, kind = "main" | "side" | "task", objectives = {...}} (the intro above)
