Help with a return item quest.

[cannon]

hands in item 1
receives item 2

item 2 is LORE

tries to hand in item 1 while already having item 2 in inventory which is LORE

npc eats item and the you already have a LORE item message appears.

How would I go about having item 1 returned if the player already has the LORE item?

sub EVENT_SAY{
if($text=~/hail/i){
if(plugin::check_hasitem($client, item2)){
quest::say("You already have this item!");
}
if (plugin::check_handin(\%item1, ($item{$class}) => 1))
my %giveitem= (warrior"item2);
else {
plugin::return_items(\%item2);
# quest::say ("You already have a LORE item, $name.");
}
}
}

Looking for a way to check if the returned item is already present on the player and then issue back the item that was turned in.

The above has syntax errors and doesn't look complete, sorta like you copy/pasted only what you felt was relevant. Which is ok mind you, however; the below may not do all you wanted it to do as a result:


sub EVENT_SPAWN {
plugin::SetProx(20,20);
}

sub EVENT_ENTER {
quest::say("How are you enjoying your ".quest::varlink(1111)."?") if plugin::check_hasitem($client, 1111);
}

sub EVENT_SAY {
if($text=~/hail/i) {
if (plugin::check_hasitem($client, 1111)) {
quest::say ("You already have a ".quest::varlink(1111)."!");
} else {
quest::say ("Oh, hello $name, so have you come to claim your ".quest::varlink(1111)."?");
}
}
}

sub EVENT_ITEM {
if (!plugin::check_hasitem($client, 1111) && plugin::check_handin(\%item1, 2222 => 1)) {
quest::say ("Congratulations $name! Enjoy your ".quest::varlink(1111)."!");
quest::summonitem(1111);
} else {
plugin::returnitems(\%itemcount);
}
}
