quest::givecash problem

[McFox666]

Hi there
I just wrote the Rat quest of the exterminator in South Qeynos and I have a "display" problem with the quest::givecash(1,1,1,0);
It works, cuz I give me the money but look :

sub EVENT_SAY
{
if ($text=~ /Hail/i)
{
quest::say("Hello $name, have you seen these pasky rodents? They are everywhere and I simpli cannot stand them! If you are willing to do a little cleaning up of the pests here I will reward you for every four Rat Whiskers you bring me.");
}
}

sub EVENT_ITEM
{
if ( ($item1=13071) && ($item2=13071) && ($item3=13071) && ($item4=13071) )
{
quest::say("I am very impressed $name, a few more cleaners like yourself and wa could have a rodent free Qeynos in no time!");
quest::exp(200);
quest::me("Your faction standing with Guards of Qeynos got better.");
quest::me("Your faction standing with Antonius Bayle got better.");
quest::me("Your faction standing with Merchant of Qeynos got better.");
quest::me("Your faction standing with Corrupt Qeynos Guards got worse.");
quest::me("Your faction standing with Circle of Unseen Hands got worse.");
quest::faction(135,7);
quest::faction(9,5);
quest::faction(217,5);
quest::faction(33,-5);
quest::faction(53,-7);
quest::givecash("1","1","1","0");
}
}

And the quest::me work as a quest::say... :(


[EDIT]

Here is my default.pl :

sub EVENT_SAY{
$plugin::debug && quest::say("[debug]in qstdefault::EVENT_SAY");
#plugin::showvars();
plugin::dispatch();
}

sub EVENT_ITEM{
plugin::dispatch();
}

plugin::dispatch();
}

sub EVENT_ATTACK{
plugin::dispatch();
}

sub EVENT_SPAWN{
plugin::dispatch();
}

sub EVENT_TIMER{
plugin::dispatch();
}

sub EVENT_SLAY{
plugin::dispatch();
}

sub EVENT_WAYPOINT{
plugin::dispatch();
}

#now lookup the routine, and return after first match.

# whatever you set as a global category for the mob
# If guild behaviour is more important (or more specific)
# than race or job, for example, move the line up.
# zone usually comes last, as it allows to reproduce the genuine
# 'default.pl' behavior.
# returning ensures you don't get 2,3 or 4 answers for an event

#eventually revert to the standard per-zone default.pl

I think the things below for faction are unnecessary:
quest::me("Your faction standing with Guards of Qeynos got better.");
quest::me("Your faction standing with Antonius Bayle got better.");
quest::me("Your faction standing with Merchant of Qeynos got better.");
quest::me("Your faction standing with Corrupt Qeynos Guards got worse.");
quest::me("Your faction standing with Circle of Unseen Hands got worse.");
not entirely sure though, i bet Cisyouc could help

probably argument are not given correctly or the function does not take them correctly.

the code that prints that stuff out was rewritten a while back (not by me), and was never tested, and obviously dosent work....

so it will get fixed when one of the devs gets annoyed enough by it to fix it... if somebody were to fix that method in questmgr.cpp and post the fix, it would be much more likely to get fixed faster...
