qglobals not working for me

hive searched the froums a few time and been playing with the code for around 5 hours and still cant figure out whats wrong i even went into the database and made sure the npc was able to use quest globals

basic idea im trying to do is this
i have a mob that sets the variable
(and indeed it makes it i checked database)
and another to check it and say one thing if its set and another if its not

E.G.

Code:

sub event_say 

 {

   if ($qglobals{var_name} >= 1)

    {

      if ($text =~/hail/i)

        {

          quest::say("blah blah blah");

        }

    }

   else

    {

      if ($text =~/hail/i)

        {

          quest::say("blah2 blah2 blah2");

        }

    }

 }

the prob is nomatter it the variable is set or not the NPC still says the "blah2 blah2 blah2 part anyone have anyidea what im dooing wrong
thank you in advance for any help

I would check to make sure you are setting the right option during setting the global.

Try this modified version:

Code:

sub event_say 

        {

        if (defined($qglobals{var_name})) 

                {

                if ($qglobals{var_name} >= 1)

                            {

                              if ($text =~/hail/i)

                                {

                                  quest::say("blah blah blah");

                                }

                            }

                }

        else

                    {

                      if ($text =~/hail/i)

                        {

                          quest::say("blah2 blah2 blah2");

                        }

                    }

         }

The npcs also have to be set to use globals in the DB, qglobal = 1 in npctypes.

Upon reflection, shouldn't this be rewritten to something like this?

Code:

sub event_say 

        {

        if ($text =~/hail/i)

                {

                if (defined($qglobals{var_name})) 

                        {

                        if ($qglobals{var_name} >= 1)

                                    {

                                  quest::say("blah blah blah");

                                }

                            }

                else

                        {

                          quest::say("blah2 blah2 blah2");

                        }

                    }

        }

Trevius, you would have thought so...but then I wasted another 15 minutes this afternoon trying to figure out what I did wrong with a replacement for the setglobal function. I didn't flip the bit again...
