Help with item turn in quest

I need help with a simple turn in.

In the script below you can give npc one out of many possible items, and then I want npc to give it right back to you.
If this would be just 1 item, it would be easy...
Suggestions?

Code:

sub EVENT_ITEM 

{





        if(plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 1060 => 1) || 

        plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 1189 => 1) || 

        plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 1190 => 1) || 

        plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 1191 => 1) || 

        plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 1192 => 1) || 

        plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 1193 => 1)        )

        {

        quest::say("Yes I recognize this item");





        }





        else 

        {

        plugin::return_items(\%itemcount);        }



}

In your if check, don't use the plugin and it won't eat the item.

Remove the else block and just have the return_items line after the if block. It will return everything. Inside your if, you can do your special processing for the checked item id's.

I got you! Thank you =)

I got one more question - what If I want npc to report which item specifically was given to him? I do not want to make 100 IF statements, so is something like this possible:

Give item to npc > item id stored into $a > npc says "you gave me item id $a"

or close to that?

From the Quest Tutorial Wiki Page:

http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...=QuestTutorial

Code:

$item1 - The item# in the first slot.

$item2 - The item# in the second slot.

$item3 - The item# in the third slot.

$item4 - The item# in the fourth slot.

Just use those variables for your script.

I didn't test this, but maybe something like this?

Code:

sub EVENT_ITEM

{

        if($item1 > 0)

        {

                $itemName = quest::getItemName($item1);

                quest::say("Thank you for the $itemName");

        }

        if($item2 > 0)

        {

                $itemName = quest::getItemName($item2);

                quest::say("...and thank you for the $itemName");

        }

        if($item3 > 0)

        {

                $itemName = quest::getItemName($item3);

                quest::say("...and thank you for the $itemName");

        }

        if($item4 > 0)

        {

                $itemName = quest::getItemName($item4);

                quest::say("...and thank you for the $itemName");

        }

        if($platinum > 0)

        {

                quest::say("Thank you for the $platinum Platinum");

        }

        if($gold > 0)

        {

                quest::say("...and thank you for the $gold Gold");

        }

        if($silver > 0)

        {

                quest::say("...and thank you for the $silver Silver");

        }

        if($copper > 0)

        {

                quest::say("...and thank you for the $copper Copper");

        }

        quest::say("...but I'm not interested.");

        quest::emote("gives back your stuff");



        plugin::return_items(\%itemcount);

        if($platinum != 0 || $gold !=0 || $silver != 0 || $copper != 0)

        {

                quest::givecash($copper, $silver, $gold, $platinum);

        }

}

AWESOME!! Thank you very much guys, you saved me a week of work! =)

one final question - for Item# corresponds to specific item slot- top to bottom? Let say players puts his 2 items into 1st and 3rd slot, will script read them as item1 and item3 or as 1 and 2?

Yeah, I am pretty sure it is top to bottom, so 1st and 3rd slot would be $item1 and $item3.
