Often you will need to get a property of a quest script, and use it in a result script somewhere else. This is one of the more tricky things, but once you understand what's happening, it makes sense. First look at the example, then we'll describe what's happening. | Often you will need to get a property of a quest script, and use it in a result script somewhere else.

In the result script, we create a variable that represents the quest script that has the property we want (in this case MQ01Script's "DeadCount" property). Note our variable myQuest is declare as MQ01Script. This is because when we made our quest script "scriptName MQ01Script extends Quest" we've essentially created a new type of object... a MQ01Script object. GetOwningQuest returns a quest object (before we extended it). So we also need to ''cast'' the quest returned by GetOwningQuest AS that new object "myQuest = GetOwningQuest() as MQ01Script" so we have access to it's extended properties. If we didn't cast it as a MQ01Script it would only have the functions and properties of a Quest object, which wouldn't contain our deadCount property. | In the result script, we create a variable that represents the quest script that has the property we want (in this case MQ01Script's "DeadCount" property).
