Potime quest Check please?

can anyone look at this and tell me why it would work one day and then the next day, it does everything except move the PC to the locs...didnt change a thing

i think it may have to do with instanced version and default versions of potimeb...suggestions?

Code:

sub EVENT_SAY {





if ($text =~/Hail/i)

 { quest::say("How could YOU defeat ME, $name? I have no choice but to send you to the next battle! Perhaps, you will taste death soon! Which way would you like to die? [Fire], [Water], [Undead], [Air] or [Earth]?"); }



if ($text =~/Fire/i)

 {

quest::shout ("$name , go forth and DIE!!");

quest::movepc(-60,565,494); 

 }

if ($text =~/Water/i)

 {

quest::shout ("$name , go forth and DIE!! ");

quest::emote ("waves his boney finger in a circle...");

quest::movepc(-60,852,494);

}

if ($text =~/Undead/i)

 {

quest::shout ("$name , go forth and DIE!! ");

quest::emote ("waves his boney finger in a circle...");

quest::movepc(-33,1107,494);

}

if ($text =~/Air/i)

 {

quest::shout ("$name , go forth and DIE!! ");

quest::emote ("waves his boney finger in a circle...");

quest::movepc(-54,1344,494);

}

if ($text =~/Earth/i)

 {

quest::shout ("$name , go forth and DIE!! ");

quest::emote ("waves his boney finger in a circle...");

quest::movepc(-53,1630,494);

}

}



sub EVENT_SPAWN

{

        quest::settimer("depop",3600); 

}



sub EVENT_TIMER

{

        if ($timer eq "depop")

        {

                quest::depop();

        }

}

any idea why the quest::movepc is not functioning? the npc does everything..even shouts "go forth and Die" but then you just sit there listening to *crickets*..it worked 2 days ago and now nothing

You are using the wrong command or the wrong arguments.

Quote:

quest::movepc(zoneid,x,y,z,[heading]) - Moves the user that triggered the Event to the provided zone and loc. Heading is optional.
quest::gmmove(x,y,z) - Moves the user that triggered the Event to the provided loc.
quest::MovePCInstance(zoneid, instanceid, x, y, z) - Moves a player to an instance

Is your NPC already in PoTimeB? If so use quest::gmmove.
If they are not, then you can not just move the plaver to an instance with quest::movepc as it does not take an argument for instance id. That is what questMovePCInstance is for. I added the instance logic and put it in the fire response as an example for you. Otherwise I changed the rest to be gmmove.

Code:

my $InstID = 0;



sub EVENT_SAY {

  $InstID = quest::GetInstanceID("potimeb",0);

  if ($text =~/Hail/i) {

    quest::say("How could YOU defeat ME, $name? I have no choice but to send you to the next battle! Perhaps, you will taste death soon! Which way would you like to die? [Fire], [Water], [Undead], [Air] or [Earth]?");

  }

  elsif ($text =~/Fire/i) {

    quest::shout ("$name , go forth and DIE!!");

    quest::emote ("waves his boney finger in a circle...");

    quest::MovePCInstance(223,$InstID,-60,565,494); 

  }

  elsif ($text =~/Water/i) {

    quest::shout ("$name , go forth and DIE!! ");

    quest::emote ("waves his boney finger in a circle...");

    quest::gmmove(-60,852,494);

  }

  elsif ($text =~/Undead/i) {

    quest::shout ("$name , go forth and DIE!! ");

    quest::emote ("waves his boney finger in a circle...");

    quest::gmmove(-33,1107,494);

  }

  elsif ($text =~/Air/i) {

    quest::shout ("$name , go forth and DIE!! ");

    quest::emote ("waves his boney finger in a circle...");

    quest::gmmove(-54,1344,494);

  }

  elsif ($text =~/Earth/i) {

    quest::shout ("$name , go forth and DIE!! ");

    quest::emote ("waves his boney finger in a circle...");

    quest::gmmove(-53,1630,494);

  }

}



sub EVENT_SPAWN {

  quest::settimer("depop",3600); 

}



sub EVENT_TIMER {

  if ($timer eq "depop") {

    quest::depop();

  }

}

thank you for the response!

the npc pops after you kill the p1 bosses so that the player can be ported to the next appropriate location, (fire, water, undead, etc)

i cant wait to try your suggestion out..thanks !

yeah, I would use gmmove then.
