Quest::Bug Collection

[shaznito]

First off I want to say that this quest on live took way to long to do for one reason, the giant wasp wing that was also needed took over 752 kills to get.
anyways there is one missing item from the database "vial of Spider Venom"
I need that for the random rewards and for this to be complete, I would have done it myself but didnt know how.

Is this it? http://lucy.allakhazam.com/item.html?id=14015

[shaznito]

Ah, thats it! :) just named diffrent.

[shaznito]

ok this looks about right.
$random = quest::ChooseRandom(14010,13281,13280,14015);

[AndMetal]

ok this looks about right.
$random = quest::ChooseRandom(14010,13281,13280,14015);

Just one thing to add: you'll probably need to add the following for the reward to actually be given :)

quest::summonitem($random)

You may also want to use my with $random, so it doesn't affect any other scripts:

my $random = quest::ChooseRandom(14010,13281,13280,14015);

Other than that, looks good to me :)

[cavedude]

I normally use:
quest::summonitem(quest::ChooseRandom(14010,13281, 13280,14015));Simply because it's one line, without a need to declare a variable. My feeling is the fewer variables we have, the better off we are. Now, if the reward is going to appear multiple times, then yes use a variable. That's part of the reason why they exist, for the lazy coder ;)

[shaznito]

I was to tired to test this last night, and for some reason even if I wanted to I couldn't because blixkin entopop refuses to respond. Not sure why but oh well no matter I'll figure it out sooner or later.

You had a closing bracket in the wrong spot. It should have been after the item return plugin.
