Handicap-I-Must-Be(merchant help)

Okay yet again I have dumb questions because im lazy and cant find it where to read it ,

So say im in POK and I want to make a MERCHANT HOLD TONS OF GOODIES

#spawn Noob_Gear <-- that being the name of the MERCHANT I would like for the first one ... and also do I have to #permaspawn ??

Riiiiight ....

So how do I turn this Regular S/O/B into a merchant where my MERCHANT EDITOR will recognize him and pick it up as a ID#

or for better yet can anyone explain to me a GOOD way of doing it

ALSO if you have time to answer this question MAYBE you can help me set up a (*SPELL SCRIBER*) as well and help walk me through it :)

Make sure that their race is set to 41. I remember that confusing me for awhile.

So can you type it out how it SHOULD be :) like

# _____ __ ____ ___ ??

please ...

Code:

INSERT INTO npc_types VALUES (202373,'Recruiter_Lauren','Spell Scriber',70,1,41,1,800000,1,1,0,6,500,500,0,999999,0,0,200,1000,'ABH',50,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,96,0,2,150,150,150,150,150,1,1,0,1600,0,0,-33,0,150,150,150,150,150,150,150,1,0,1,0,1,0,0);

INSERT INTO spawngroup VALUES(99999,'Recruiter_Lauren1',0,0,0,0,0,0,0);

INSERT INTO spawn2 VALUES(99999,99999,'poknowledge',-19.9,61.9,-157.2,157,0,0,0,0,0,1);

INSERT INTO spawnentry VALUES(99999,202373,100);

This is a set of queries I use to add a custom vendor to PoK. (She also functions as a spell-scriber and a few other things.) She's currently set to use merchantlist 999999 (so I don't have to change the IDs every time PEQ releases a new database).

If there's a way to create a merchant via #spawn, I've never tried it. However, if you're looking for a permanent one, you're free to use the queries above to add this one. Customize it as you'd like.

Im confused which is the merchant and which is the Spel Scriber and how do I make the scriber work

Sorry if im taking up your time I just wanna do it right

Forgive me for adding confusion to it. Her first name is Recruiter Lauren and her last name (the that displays in <> tags) is Spell Scriber, so I wanted to explain that she was being used for that on our server is why she was named as such. She won't scribe spells unless you have a quest file in place for her.

The query I gave will put her in as a simple merchant NPC in PoK, very near to where #zone takes you for that zone. It's next to a nearby tree. You can put any items you'd like on her so long as they're in merchantlist #99999:

Code:

INSERT INTO merchantlist VALUES (999999,1,17403);

INSERT INTO merchantlist VALUES (999999,2,75844);

INSERT INTO merchantlist VALUES (999999,3,29066);

The third column is the item ID, and you can change it to whatever you like. Just use these as a template if that's what you're looking to do.

Hopefully that helps clear up the confusion. Sorry for not explaining it clearly the first time!

As for the spell scribing script, figured I'd share. This is the script I use on our server. Some of it pertains to only us, but I commented a few of the lines and you're welcome to use whatever you'd like.

Two things that might need explained -- I use custom hails for certain characters to get a personal response. So the hail check checks for character names and gives a special response if the character name matches =)

The second thing is that every class (except mages) can have their spells scribed up through 51. Mages are the exception because I didn't want them getting a free epic. As you can see in the script, she points mages to Progression Status when they hit 45. He's a custom NPC I use so players can check what landmarks for progression to the next expansion have been unlocked and which remain. In addition, he's been flagged as a vendor with mage spells on him from 45-51. If you don't mind mages having a free epic, you can take out the exceptions that I put in place.

Hopefully you find some use for either parts or all of this =)

Code:

sub EVENT_SAY {

 if($text =~ /hail/i && $name =~ /Greenmist/) {

  quest::say("I love you! <3");

 }

 elsif($text =~ /hail/i && $name =~ /Tissirja/) {

  quest::emote("waves at Progression Status.");

  quest::say("Yes, I'm sure you're tired of being a retard who can't speak proper English. Have a lesson!");

  quest::setlanguage(0,100);

 }

}



sub EVENT_ITEM { #This portion allows her to cast GM haste on players who give her 1 platinum, 3 gold, 3 silver, and 7 copper. However, she has a 10% chance to DT players who do so and shout their name across all zones.
