Details

This component evaluates the condition every Frequency seconds. Checking quest states, and especially arbitrary Lua code, may be time-consuming. Use the largest interval that works for your gameplay needs, and keep the Lua condition to a minimum.

The Only Once checkbox only works during the current scene. If you want this functionality to persist between level changes or saved games, include it in the condition instead.

This component updates the quest tracker if you've configured one.
