I'm wracking my brain trying ti figure this out. I just got back into modding, since a sizeable update is coming soon, and I wanted to do something with pets and quests. I want to make a quest reward the player with a filled capture pod that contains a specific pet that is already named and has its own description (through my own monstertype file), but I'm stuck at the quest part. I took a look at the generated quest "capture_pet.questtemplate", but it only lists the reward as a capture pod. The associated script for this questtemplate also doesn't make sense to me, so I can't figure out what to do. The quest I'm aiming to make goes like this; 1. Talk to a specific NPC 2. Go to another NPC 3. Return to original NPC 4. Collect item for original NPC 5. Trade item for pet 6. NPC disappears forever/until Universe is deleted I've got steps 1 through 4 done, and I'm sure I can figure out step 6 based on Outpost things like the bear miners, but I can't figure out how to make the reward a specific pet in a capture pod. Anyone have any ideas?
Currently, a filled capture pod with a generated monster has the following parameters: { name = filledcapturepod, count = 1, parameters = { tooltipFields = { objectImage = { 1 = { position = { 1 = 0.0, 2 = 0.0 }, transformation = { 1 = { 1 = 1.0, 2 = 0.0, 3 = -21.0 }, 2 = { 1 = 0.0, 2 = 1.0, 3 = -21.0 }, 3 = { 1 = 0.0, 2 = 0.0, 3 = 1.0 } }, fullbright = false, image =

Take a look at the code for the empty capture pod when it spawns the filled capture pod - that should give you an idea of how to generate your pod.
Man, I spent yesterday off and on trying to figure that out, but that's way over my head. I think I'll just forget about a quest-given pet, because quite frankly I'm too stupid to understand this. I checked the capture pod files, but I don't think I understood how it made a filled pod.
