quest::QGVarDuration? quest::timeleft? Do these work?

Trying to track a timer independent of any zone. However I am having trouble extracting the time remaining in a global or a task, either of which would work.

Take a look at these examples and tell me what I am doing wrong, neither will export the variable $Check.

sub EVENT_SAY {

quest::setglobal("vxed_Instance_Flag", 1, 5, "D3");
my $Check = quest::QGVarDuration($qglobals{vxed_Instance_Flag} );
quest::emote("Duration is : $Check");

}

sub EVENT_SAY {
#Used within the zone the task is set.
#quest::assigntask(50);
my $Check = quest::timeleft(50);
quest::emote("$Check");
}

Never used those before, but did you enable globals on the NPC you are testing this on?

Yes, globals are enabled.

$qglobals{vxed_Instance_Flag} should return the value of the global, not the global object. Maybe try quest::QGVarDuration("vxed_Instance_Flag")

EDIT: Maybe not. It looks like (according to the wiki) that function will only return the amount of seconds based on a duration input. For example: quest::QGVarDuration("D3") should return 259200.

Figured it out at least the task one.

The correct function is

quest::tasktimeleft(id);

It's just incorrect in the wiki.

I found this saved on a random notepad file.

Code:

void quest::taskselector(int taskcount, int *tasks) { -

void quest::enabletask(int taskcount, int *tasks) { -

void quest::disabletask(int taskcount, int *tasks) { -

bool quest::istaskenabled(int taskid) { -

void quest::tasksetselector(int tasksetid) { -

bool quest::istaskactive(int task) { -

bool quest::istaskactivityactive(int task, int activity) { -

void quest::updatetaskactivity(int task, int activity, int count) { -

void quest::taskexploredarea(int exploreid) { -

void quest::assigntask(int taskid) { -

void quest::failtask(int taskid) { -

int quest::tasktimeleft(int taskid) { -

int quest::enabledtaskcount(int taskset) { -

int quest::firsttaskinset(int taskset) { -

int quest::lasttaskinset(int taskset) { -

int quest::nexttaskinset(int taskset, int taskid) { -

int quest::activespeaktask() { -

int quest::activespeakactivity(int taskid) { -

int quest::istaskcompleted(int taskid) { -

int quest::activetasksinset(int taskset) { -

int quest::completedtasksinset(int taskset) { -

bool quest::istaskappropriate(int task) { -
