ok i got sub EVENT_SAY {
if ($text=~/hail/i && $flyer == 1) {
quest::say("May you travel with the Fives' blessing, $name.");
}
if ($flyer == 0) {
if ($text=~/Hail/i) {
quest::say("Ahh, hello young $race, what brings you to the Orders Library? You wouldnt happen to be responding to one of the [flyers] I sent out now would you?");
}
if ($text=~/flyer/i) {
quest::say("Ah good, good. Just give the flyer back to me and we shall begin.");
}
if ($text=~/ready/i) {
quest::say("Here. This item will return you to our fair city. It holds enchantments that will make you more powerful as well. Ill start you off on something simple.
The councils scouts have recently discovered a strange new race of humanoids dwelling in a place they call Crushbone. The council wishes to gain further information on the humanoids in Crushbone.
An Ambassador was sent a few days ago. He returned with a few missing body parts.
The scouts report seeing small books on a few of the more intelligent looking humanoids there.
Bring back at least four of these books for the council to study. The council does not care how you obtain them. Feel free to get them by any means necessary.
Upon your return, find my apprentice. He will handle the books accordingly.");
quest::summonitem(1002);
quest::setglobal("flyer",1,0,"M2");
}
}
}


To work but i was wondering now where the global is saved to check if someone did the quest or not

[jkennedy]

Ok i figured out how to check them just wondering why this quest right here will set the epic1.5 value 1 and not do the rest of the quest sub EVENT_SAY { if ($text=~/hail/i) {
quest::say("How Are you today, $name Bring me One Peice of Epic Weapon From Karnor for your epic1.5 quest?");
quest::setglobal("Epic1.5",1,0,"f");
} }
sub EVENT_ITEM {

if (($itemcount {1387} == 1)) && ($Epic1.5 == 1) {
quest::say("Now i need your third peice of your Epic1.5 From Netherbian");
quest::setglobal("Epic1.5",2,0,"f"); }

if (($itemcount {1001} == 1)) && ($Epic1.5 == 2) {
quest::say("Now i need your third peice of your Epic1.5 From Netherbian");
quest::setglobal("Epic1.5",3,0,"f"); }

if (($itemcount {1002} == 1)) && ($Epic1.5 == 3) {
quest::say("Now i need your fourth peice of your Epic1.5 From Dulak");
quest::setglobal("Epic1.5",4,0,"f"); } }

Yeah, sorry, but that is a pretty old quest I submitted. I have since learned how to use qglobals and such properly, and that way is not the proper way to do it. It should actually work most of the time, but can cause some nasty bugs that you don't want to have to deal with :P Your script would actually seem to work fine most of the time, accept you have some parenthesis in the wrong places in your EVENT_ITEM that is breaking that section of the script.

Anyway, the proper way to check a qglobal value is to write it like this:
if ($itemcount {1387} == 1 && $qglobals{Epic1.5} == 1) {
(also note that I removed the extra parenthesis that you had in the wrong places too)

Instead of the way you have it like this:
if (($itemcount {1387} == 1)) && ($Epic1.5 == 1) {

Also, you should use plugins for your item turn ins, so you can use the return item plugin to return a player's items if they turn in the wrong item or don't meet other requirements you might have set. Here is the same example as above, accept with the plugin:

if (plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 1387 => 1) && $qglobals{Epic1.5} == 1) {

You can find quite a bit on qglobals here from the wiki at the bottom of the page:
http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=QuestTutorial

There are 2 more things I think are worth mentioning in regards to qglobals:

1. Always make sure you enable the NPC to see qglobals by setting the qglobal field in the npc_types table to 1.

2. Check the wiki page above to understand the options field for qglobals. By setting it to 0 like you are, it means that only that particular NPC in that particular zone will see that qglobal for that particular player. If you wanted another NPC to check it, they would not see it.

[Lillu]

one more thing. In my experience, if the qglobal check happens after the item check, if the player doing the turn in has the proper item, but not the qglobal flag, the NPC will eat the proper item. Doing the qglobal check before the item check resolve this issue.

[jkennedy]

ahh thank you both so much ill try that later when i get a chance'

[trevius]

Yeah, I didn't want to get that far into explaining it just yet hehe. The reason that is, is because the ifs check from left to right and if it hits one that is false, it doesn't bother checking any of the others. So, that will let it return the items that were handed in, because the plugin will think that the items were not successfully turned in, I believe. By having them in the order I put them from left to right, it checks that the hand in is correct first, and so no matter what, the return items plugin won't return those items once the check_handin has been verified correct. So, in that case, if they fail to meet the qglobal, it won't reward them, but it also won't return their items.

I am basically just saying what Lillu had already said, but explaining the why of how it works so you can better understand how to write that type of check.

[jkennedy]

you all helped me alot and im grateful for it
