Well, I must confess that I didn't understand a damn thing about it. :o
I made a test mission with, of course, a bow and some crystals. I gave the crystals the NVUnusableUnlessQVar script. I won't annoy you with all the trials I made after that. I just don't know what to do.
Is anyone so kind and patient to explain step by step how to set up this thing?

You put the script on the arrows. And you have to use the archetypes* rather than objects in the mission. When you pick up a crystal, it gives you an arrow then deletes itself.
* You could probably use the Projectile archetype, then you only have to set things up once.

What about the design note? Where I have to put it, and how to trigger the fact that I get a bow? Sorry, as I said, I didn't understand anything....

The design note also goes on the Projectile archetype.
NVUnusableUnlessQVar="foundbow"
Create a bow object in your mission. Give it the script TrigWorldFrob, and Engine Features > FrobInfo: WorldAction: Script,Delete.
Give it a CD link to a QuestVarTrap
Quest Var property:
=1:foundbow

I don't think it's actually documented anywhere, but NVUnusableUnlessQVar will default to using the qvar "HasBow", if it exists. e.g. if you use that qvar name, you don't even need a design note.
You can also save an object with the bow by having it use NVTrapSetQVar with NVTrapSetQVarOn="FrobWorldEnd".

:cool:
Is that how Mission X was set up, too?

I can't remember, but the script might have been written for Mission X.

It works perfectly on arrows, but it doesn't work on crystals.
I wished the player to find crystals rather than arrows. Is there any way to do it?
Thanks. :)

Crystals should just be converted into arrows; did you put it on the related arrow archetypes?
