Creating a new NPC

[kameko]

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to make a new npc in Halas and am having some trouble getting her to respond to hails etc.

I added her to the database, and spawn her on entering the zone.

I made a script file for her but it's not working.

Her name is Sabrina nightingale, and the script file is called Sabrina_Nightingale.pl

here it is:

## Sabrina_Nightingale.pl
##
## Buffer NPC. This character will allow the player to get all spells scribed for the players
## current level

sub EVENT_SAY{
my $spells = quest::saylink("spells");

if($text=~/hail/i){
plugin::Whisper("Why hello there $name! I have heard many great things about you! I am new in town
and specialise in $spells. If you're interested I can teach you what I know.");
}

if($text=~/spells/i){
plugin::Whisper("Great... just give me a moment to gather what spells I can for you.");
quest::emote("flips through the pages of her spell book...");
quest::pause(10):
plugin::Whisper("Ok! found all the spells I can teach you....");
plugin::scribespells():
}
}

Am I missing something? I thought I could just write a file with the name of the npc for it to work

Thanks for any help here :)

EDIT: I found the problem.... typos!

note sure if it'd break the quest but should:


quest::pause(10):


be


quest::pause(10);


that's all I've got for why it wouldn't work.

You said your NPC name is "Sabrina nightingale", but I assume you mean "Sabrina Nightingale" If the last name isn't capital on the NPC, but it is on the script, that will probably cause it to fail.

Also, scribespells() requires a level argument, and you have a colon there as well, so change that to this:

plugin::scribespells($ulevel);
