The best way to solve a quest issue is to copy your entire quest into notepad so you don't lose it and then start with just 1 very small section at a time to make sure they work. Eventually you will get to a point where it doesn't work at all and you will know that the last thing you added is what caused it.

Try just using this from your code as the entire quest:

Code:

sub EVENT_ITEM {



if (($class == 'Beastlord' || $class == 'Druid' || $class == 'Monk') && ($class ne 'Warrior' && $class ne 'Cleric' && $class ne 'Bard' && $class ne 'Paladin' && $class ne 'Shadowknight' && $class ne 'Berserker' && $class ne 'Rogue' && $class ne 'Ranger' && $class ne 'Shaman' && $class ne 'Enchanter' && $class ne 'Magician' && $class ne 'Necromancer' && $class ne 'Wizard')) {

  if (plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 16350 => 1)) {

    my %rewards = (

"Beastlord" => 1196, "Druid" => 11281, "Monk" => 11146

    );

    

    if(defined($rewards{$class})) {

      quest::summonitem($rewards{$class});

$client->Message(6, "Sheley Courilan works to make a piece of armor from the instructions you provided to her." );

      quest::exp(10);

      quest::say ("Here you go, $name.");

    }

}

else {

             plugin::return_items(\%itemcount);

        }

}

}

Test that and see if it works. If it doesn't, the I think you probably have a plugin problem. You will need to make sure that you moved your plugins from the quests/plugins folder into your eqemu/plugins folder. Without the plugins in the right place, these item exchanges can't work. Also, you might want to run the check syntax button on GeorgeS quest editor tool to verify that you aren't missing any brackets. Remember that a single extra bracket or quote missing or in the wrong place can break the entire quest.

Moving the plugins is what worked, thank you =)

Trev, can't

$class == 'Warrior'

be replaced with

$class == 1

?

Since that quest, I have refined our armor scripts that use Arrays a bit to make them cleaner and a bit easier to manage. If done properly, I don't think the whole "if $class" stuff needs to be checked at all. Here is an example of the new format we use on Storm Haven for a bit more advanced Arrays for armor quests:

Code:

Of course, this script takes it a step further and defines the armor type for each class and then uses that to find which classes should get which piece of armor. This script could be simplified to just map each piece of armor to a specific class, which shouldn't be too hard to figure out for people wanting to do that.

looks interetsing, but you not answering my question though =P

I have looked at the quest wiki, and it doesn't say anywhere if numbers instead of class names can be used for the IF check - you know like 1 (warrior), 7 (monk) etc

Technically, it should have been "$class eq 'Warrior'", not "$class == 'Warrior'", but I could never get it to work that way for some reason. My best guess is that it is automatically replacing the class name with the number. If so, then I don't see any reason why using the numbers wouldn't work. It might be a bit harder to reference what is going on in your scripts though if you do.

The reason I mentioned the new code I am using is because checking for which class it is should not have to be done with an array, since $class already does that. You just have to do things in the right order for them to work properly. It can make scripts much easier to manage. I am probably going to try to work up some more similar variations to the script above that I just posted. I will try to get one up that also has arrays for turn ins. It should make dealing with armor quests or epic quests considerably cleaner and much less scripting.

Actually, it should be $class eq "Warrior" with double quotes. Using single quotes is an array of char's, while double quotes is used for strings. Maybe why it didn't work. I like the way you do it now with the hashes. That's pretty slick. I love perl.

Perl is fairly type agnostic, but C++ is not. To answer your question you'd have to look at what $class represents. My guess is the answer is no as the $class variable holds a string with a value of "Warrior" and not a numeric value. And that is exported via the C++

If you really had a reason to use numbers for classes, it would be easy to make a hash to do it. But, it would just be extra work that isn't really needed unless you needed numbers to do a random or something. Here is an example:

Code:

%ClassConvert = (        #Convert each Class Name into a Number

        "Warrior" => 1,

        "Rogue" => 2,

        "Monk" => 3,

        "Berserker" => 4,

        "Shadowknight" => 5,

        "Paladin" => 6,

        "Ranger" => 7,

        "Bard" => 8,

        "Beastlord" => 9,

        "Cleric" => 10,

        "Druid" => 11,

        "Shaman" => 12,

        "Wizard" => 13,

        "Magician" => 14,

        "Enchanter" => 15,

        "Necromancer" => 16

);

Note: These numbers are in no particular order and are definitely not the normal order EQ knows these classes as.

Then, to get that class number, you could just do this:

Code:

my $classnum = $ClassConvert{$class};

You would want to do that conversion inside the EVENT you are using it on, so it does the conversion each time that something triggers that event so it can be accurate for the current class doing it.

Then, you can do:

Code:

if ($classnum == 1)

  quest::say("You are a Warrior!");

I am sure there are other ways to do it, but if that is something you were needing, this way should work fine for you.

There might be a $client->GetClass() type of command also. I know when I was working on $client->GetBaseRace(), it gives an integer rather than "Erudite".

I'm just curious but can this code be used to summon more than one item for a specific class? For example if I need to summon 2 weapons for a class who dual wields. I've tried a few things but I couldn't get anything to work.

Code:

sub EVENT_ITEM {



if (($class == 'Beastlord' || $class == 'Druid' || $class == 'Monk') && ($class ne 'Warrior' && $class ne 'Cleric' && $class ne 'Bard' && $class ne 'Paladin' && $class ne 'Shadowknight' && $class ne 'Berserker' && $class ne 'Rogue' && $class ne 'Ranger' && $class ne 'Shaman' && $class ne 'Enchanter' && $class ne 'Magician' && $class ne 'Necromancer' && $class ne 'Wizard')) {

  if (plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 16350 => 1)) {

    my %rewards = (

"Beastlord" => 1196, "Druid" => 11281, "Monk" => 11146

    );

    

    if(defined($rewards{$class})) {

      quest::summonitem($rewards{$class});

$client->Message(6, "Sheley Courilan works to make a piece of armor from the instructions you provided to her." );

      quest::exp(10);

      quest::say ("Here you go, $name.");

    }

}

else {

             plugin::return_items(\%itemcount);

        }

}

}

For classes that get more than 1 reward as their epic 1.0, I just had to make sections for each of them:

Code:

    if (($class == 'Warrior') && ($class ne 'Shadowknight' && $class ne 'Paladin' && $class ne 'Ranger' && $class ne 'Bard' && $class ne 'Beastlord' && $class ne 'Cleric' && $class ne 'Druid' && $class ne 'Shaman' && $class ne 'Wizard' && $class ne 'Magician' && $class ne 'Enchanter' && $class ne 'Necromancer' && $class ne 'Rogue' && $class ne 'Monk' && $class ne 'Berserker'))

    {

      if (plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 1384 => 1, 1385 => 1, 1387 => 1)) {

        quest::summonitem(10908);

        quest::summonitem(17859);      

        $client->Message(6, "Brendor Lan'ise diligently fashions the pieces together with great skill and precision." );

        quest::exp(45000);

        quest::say ("Take care of this, $name, and it will take care of you.  You will need it for future Epic Quests.");

      }

      else {

        plugin::return_items(\%itemcount);

        #quest::say("I have no use for this item, $name.  Take it back.");

      }

    }

Though, it probably wouldn't be all too hard to rewrite it to use hashes and some IFs to make a single block like this handle rewards and turn ins for all classes.

Thanks, that got it. I was trying a few things to do it in one block but I'm not knowledgeable enough in perl to do so. Using if, elsif, statements worked flawlessly.

[QUOTE=Andrew80k;171254]Actually, it should be $class eq "Warrior" with double quotes. Using single quotes is an array of char's, while double quotes is used for strings.QUOTE]
This solved another problem of mine. Thanks Andrew80K.

no idea how, but double post.. sry ><
