Displaying quest globals

I am having difficulty in getting any quest to use the quest global values that I enter. I used an example script from the site to set the value to ensure I was doing it right, however I can not under an circumstances write a line of code that will display the value, or even use it to trigger an event.

If I get mysql quest global file though, it is infact in there.... So how do I get it out so I can use it?

Quote:

sub EVENT_SAY {

if ($text=~/hail/i) {

quest::say("Hail to you, lesser being!");

} elsif ($text=~/Set/i) {

quest::say("Setting your stupid var human !");
quest::delglobal("AVAR");
quest::setglobal("AVAR", 1, 7, "Y50");

} elsif ($text=~/Get/i) {

quest::say("Here is your results $qglobals{AVAR} " );

}

}

Every time I do get, it just reads the line and omits the value.

I have tried linking it to conditions like

Quote:

if($qglobals{AVAR}) == 1)

or

if(defined($qglobals{AVAR}))

I am not sure what I am doing wrong at this point.

try this one...

Code:

sub EVENT_SAY

{

        if ($text=~/hail/i)

        {

                quest::say("Hail to you, lesser being!");

        }

        if ($text=~/Set/i)

        {

                quest::say("Setting your stupid var human !");

                if (!defined $qgobals{AVAR})

                {

                        quest::delglobal("AVAR");

                        quest::setglobal("AVAR", 1, 7, "Y50");

                }

        }

        if ($text=~/Get/i)

        {

                my $avar = $qglobals{AVAR};

                quest::say("Here is your results $avar");

        }

}

PS: not sure if that red semicolon should go there or not.. thats why i made it red.

No luck

Tried your code, same problem. Its set perfectly in the mysql file but it will just not display it in the text when retrieved. Semicolon was needed btw.

I understand the code so it just doesn't make sense why it isn't working. Seems simple enough.

using your original code, try this:

Code:

sub EVENT_SAY {

    if ($text=~/hail/i) {

        quest::say("Hail to you, lesser being!");

    }

    elsif ($text=~/Set/i) {

        quest::say("Setting your stupid var human !");

        quest::delglobal("AVAR");

        quest::setglobal("AVAR", 1, 7, "Y50");

    }

    elsif ($text=~/Get/i) {

        quest::say("Here is your results $AVAR");

    }

}

Thanks Conglar,

But still no luck. I really don't know why it isn't displaying. Again the variable is in the global file I just can't use it.

don't know if this has anything to do with it, but sometimes i forget to set the npc's global to 1... you have to do that to get the globals to work.

Hmm maybe, how exactly do I set an NPC's global to 1?

Cripp

ah ya thats it.. the sql syntax UPDATE npc_types SET qglobal=1 where id=npcID; (qglobal or qglobals, not sure which)

Congdar

find the npc in the npc_types table in the database and set the qglobal value to 1
