Non-Repeatable = No speak

[Expletus]

If I assign a task and complete it, the npc goes through the whole text up to the point of assigning the task. If I've already done it, and I don't want to make it repeatable, how do I disable that?

[ChaosSlayerZ]

put a check point in the script before entire dialog to see if task was completed

O... :oops:

So I've tried to add

if(!quest::istaskactive(223) && !quest::istaskcompleted(223))

I've added that above the initial hail, and not quite sure how to set that up. I've looked at other code, and they use the taskset along with it, which I don't want to do... Should it be seperate from the event_say section?

sub EVENT_SAY {
my$war = quest::saylink("war");
my$willing = quest::saylink("willing");
if ($text =~/Hail/i){
quest::say ("Hail, $name! I am here to warn you, the [$war] has spilled over to crushbone."); }

if ($text =~/war/i){
quest::say ("The invador is a Sarnak named Xalgoz who seeks to enslave the orcs. Please I beg of you, help my beloved Emperor Crush.. he has been taken prisoner deep within his castle. There is a scout atop the great pillar, seek him out if you are [$willing]!"); }

if ($text =~/willing/i){
quest::say ("Excellent! Please hurry up, time is most precious!");
quest::assigntask(223);
}
}

I think (not real strong at quests yet) this is what you want
sub EVENT_SAY {
my$war = quest::saylink("war");
my$willing = quest::saylink("willing");
if (($text =~/Hail/i) && (!quest::istaskactive(223) && !quest::istaskcompleted(223)){
quest::say ("Hail, $name! I am here to warn you, the [$war] has spilled over to crushbone."); }

if (($text =~/war/i) && (!quest::istaskactive(223) && !quest::istaskcompleted(223)){
quest::say ("The invador is a Sarnak named Xalgoz who seeks to enslave the orcs. Please I beg of you, help my beloved Emperor Crush.. he has been taken prisoner deep within his castle. There is a scout atop the great pillar, seek him out if you are [$willing]!"); }

if (($text =~/willing/i) && (!quest::istaskactive(223) && !quest::istaskcompleted(223)){
quest::say ("Excellent! Please hurry up, time is most precious!");
quest::assigntask(223);
}
}

Didn't work, gets disabled w/that script. Tried to move some stuff around, unfortunatly i suck at coded (and spelling ha ha)

[joligario]

Could be the my variables are messed up and the parenteses are not matched.

I think this should work:

sub EVENT_SAY {

my $war = quest::saylink("war");
my $willing = quest::saylink("willing");

if (quest::istaskactive(223) || quest::istaskcompleted(223))
{
quest::say("I have already told you all that I can.");
}
else
{
if ($text =~/Hail/i)
{
quest::say("Hail, $name! I am here to warn you, the [$war] has spilled over to crushbone.");
}

if ($text =~/war/i)
{
quest::say("The invador is a Sarnak named Xalgoz who seeks to enslave the orcs. Please I beg of you, help my beloved Emperor Crush.. he has been taken prisoner deep within his castle. There is a scout atop the great pillar, seek him out if you are [$willing]!");
}

if ($text =~/willing/i)
{
quest::say("Excellent! Please hurry up, time is most precious!");
quest::assigntask(223);
}
}

}

Also, if you don't want a task to be repeatable, there is an option to in the DB (or in the Task Master tool) to disable them from being repeatable if you set it.

Thanks Trev ill check this when I get home. I got the taks down with kls system and the peq editor. I just suck at the quest system and where things go in the script. Task sets I'm sure will be the next issue.

[ChaosSlayerZ]

yeah the Trev's way is how I would do it.
Not tested thought, I don't have access to my tools atm

[Expletus]

worked perfectly! Thank you Trev!
