$race related

[Magoth78]

Hello,

I'm pretty new at quest scripting and i've looked for $race in the search forum but I did not find the solution at my problem.
I'm just trying to get a npc to say the race of the player that hails him... pretty simple you say me... probably not for me...


sub EVENT_SAY
{
if ($text=~ /Hail/i)
{
if($race == Erudite)
{
quest::say("Erudit");
}

if($race == Darkelf)
{
quest::say("Dark elf");
}

}
}


I've tested whit a human character, hailed the npc and he says me Erudit then Dark elf, even if I'm a human. I think it's due to the $race == xx.

Can someone help me please?
thx by advance

thx by advanceTry this code. I think all you need are quotes around the race and correct spelling (Dark Elf not Darkelf).sub EVENT_SAY
{
if($text~/hail/i)
{
if($race == "Human")
{
quest::say("You are a human.");
}
else
{
quest::say("FOOL! You are a $race not a human!");
}
}
}

and preferably use "aaa" eq $race for string compare (eq is better than ==)

Hello Cisyouc and thanks for your answer. I've tried your script but it always returns me 'Your are a human' even if I m an other race (just tested whit a dark elf)

Hello Cisyouc and thanks for your answer. I've tried your script but it always returns me 'Your are a human' even if I m an other race (just tested whit a dark elf)sub EVENT_SAY
{
if($text~/hail/i)
{
$xrace = ($race);
if($xrace == "Human")
{
quest::say("You are a human.");
}
else
{
quest::say("FOOL! You are a $xrace not a human!");
}
}
}Dont know if this will improve anything but try this?

[Magoth78]

Neither, but i've just got it to work. (tried eq as smogo said)

Here's my modified code:


sub EVENT_SAY
{
if($text=~/hail/i)
{
if($race eq Human)
{
quest::say("You are a human.");
}
else
{
quest::say("FOOL! You are a $race not a human!");
}
}
}


Now i'm gonna try whit composed name, like Dark Elf, Half Elf etc..

}
}

[Magoth78]

Ok, now for Dark Elf (example).

Here is the code:

sub EVENT_SAY
{
if($text=~/hail/i)
{
if($race eq Human)
{
quest::say("You are a Human.");
}
if($race eq Dark Elf)
{
quest::say("You are a Dark Elf.");
}
else
{
quest::say("FOOL! You are a $race not a human or a dark elf!");
}
}
}


Nothing happens when I hail the npc.
The error in the zone.exe is:
Message: Hail, evil side representant
[Status] Script error: qst76::EVENT_SAY - Perl runtime error: Can't locate object method "Dark" via package "Elf" (perhaps you forgot to load "Elf"?) at (eval 29) line 9.

Now, let's try
if ($race eq Dark_Elf)
I hail the npc (I'm a dark elf), he answers me: "FOOL! You are a Dark Elf not a human or a dark elf!"

Sigh... now, let's try
if ($race eq "Dark Elf")
And yeh, it works..

Thanks for the help guys,
