What can I use flags for?
Flags are usful for a variety of different things. Triggers and Quests mostly. This lesson will show you how to make a basic flag quest, and will touch on usingMapQuest.txt.
Simple Item Quest
[@Main]
#IF
#SAY
I collect Bones if you bring me some and I'll pay you well!\
I buy in 10's\
< Where can I find them?/@wherebone>\
< Here I have some!/@givebone>\
< I'm good../@Exit>
[@wherebone]
#SAY
You can get Bones by killing mobs in BoneCave\
< back/@Main>
[@givebone]
#IF
checkitem Bone 10 <<checks the amount of bone you have
#ACT
take Bone 10 <<takes the amount of bones you have
give gold 10000
#SAY
Thanks, here take this!\< Thanks!/@Main>
As you can see in the above, this is a repeatable Item Quest, there are no triggers or flags to say once its done that you cannot do it again. But that is ok for a repeatable quest. These would proberly be good for basic town quests or whatever you feel is necesery.
IF you need a bigger advance system,say you want a Job type system where once you have done a quest you don't want the user to be able to do it again. But you would like to keep track of what you have and haven't done. this should help give you an idea of how to go about it.

Using flags. Above is an example of a Job Quest system. Everytime you complete a quest you will see 'Completed' next to it in the Job List Menu. Quests done this way can only be activated once. Once you get the hang of it you can add more Jobs quickly and others easily.
if u do decide to make a quest script, start small and simple to get the hang of it, and create it from there
good luck to all
