Task/Quest Syntax help request

[Warking]

This is probably a simple fix but I have been all over the Wiki and forums and I am still missing what needs to be done here.

I keep Getting the below error when a task is enabled. I created the task through the EoC and it works fine, except for this request error:

Unable to find NPC to send EVENT_TASKACCEPTD to. Report this bug.

Below is the npc.pl code


sub EVENT_TASKACCEPTED
{
quest::say("You accepted task $273");
quest::say("You accepted task $274");
}

sub EVENT_SAY
{
if ($text =~/Hail/i)
{
quest::say ("[test]! [testE]! Listen to this [song] .");
}
if($text=~/test/i)
{
plugin::AssignTask("solo", 273); #::: This will enable task 273
plugin::MM("test " . $name . "!"); #::: This will push a client side Yellow message in the screen
}
if($text=~/testE/i)
{
plugin::AssignTask("solo", 274); #::: This will assign solo Kill task 274
quest::say ("test");
plugin::MM("test"); #::: This will push a client side Yellow message in the screen
}
#The below statement will play a song to the client. "
if($text=~/song/i){
$client->PlayMP3("compton.mp3");
}
}
#The below setion handles how a character hands in the items for the task. This will grant a small amount of exp and give grp currency on turn in
sub EVENT_ITEM
{
if(plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 132492 => 1))
{
quest::say("test!");
quest::exp(20);
quest::summonitem(132491);
}
}

You're probably going to need to show the database entries for the task and activities.

Activities Table:

taskid activityid step activitytype text1 text2 text3 goalid goalmethod goalcount delivertonpc zoneid optional
273 0 1 1 test diamond 132492 0 100 24307 24 0


Task Table:

id duration title description reward rewardid cashreward xpreward rewardmethod startzone minlevel maxlevel repeatable
273 0 test3 [1,Kill guards, Bring me 100 diamonds] testitem 132493 0 4000 0 24 0 0 1


I created a new custom diamond so that is 132492

What does it say in yellow just before this error? "Task Giver ID is"...

[Warking]

'Task Giver ID is 0' There must be some code or table I need to enter the npcID I guess but I cannot find where. Unless my thinking is way off?

Quest_Globals table?

[joligario]

It gets the NPC ID from the npc_types table. So, yes it does need to be entered and the NPC ID cannot be 0. The normal format starts at the zone id * 1000. So in PoK, for example, the NPC IDs usually are 202xxx. The editor will help sort in that format.

[Warking]

This NPCID=24307 in NPC_Types table there are no npcs with 0. Do I need to define it in the .pl file somewhere?

[joligario]

Oh, using the plugin, you must specify the NPC ID.

EDIT: plugin::AssignTask("solo", 273, $npc->GetID());

[Warking]

Ah, Awesome! A million thanks for the help on this one!

Should probably update the wiki on the plugin use
