Task System Inquiry.

Hello everyone. I've gotten a few tasks to work, but for some reason this one is just failing. I'm not quite sure what I did wrong...

The perl text is this (I'll attach pictures of the Task//Goal//Activities).

Code:

##Leveling assistant

##ChambersE

##Made by Sinclipse



sub EVENT_SAY

{

        

        $npcname = "Level Assistant";

        

        if($text=~/hail/i)

        {

                $client->Message(315, "$npcname whispers to you 'Greetings $name. I am here to help you level. Please accept the task and return to me once you've completed it. Remember, if you're above the level said in the task, I will not accept the quest back.'");

                quest::assigntask(225);

        }

}

Adding in level restrictions later...

is what it looks like, I edited out the desktop view and all that stuff. I've looked over other tasks and I have the same input and what not as they do... I just don't know what I did wrong.

The 54014 is the bat ID in Gfay that I found.

The 999400 is the Leveling Assistant to return it too.

Did you reload your tasks or restart your server since adding that? You can use "#task reloadall" to reload all tasks from the DB.

Also, you can try the TaskMaster tool which might make task editing easier for you. You can get it here:

I am almost done with a new task editing tool as well that is web based, but it probably won't be released until we have more tools added. Here is a preview of what it looks like so far:

I did indeed reload all as you can see on the top line...

So, I refreshed it, and downloaded Task Manager, after finding out that I'm a bit of a rere for thinking Progression as the host instead of Localhost, I got the TM running... I've checked other quests and checked my quest... I can't see what I'm doing wrong... I'll post pictures in a minute, maybe someone else can figure it out.

I tried editing post it told me no... So... this is what I get, still after checking everything over and over again. I know it's something simple and when someone points it out, I'm going to want to shoot myself, but I'm willing to take that risk!

Did you actually reload tasks? It looks like you're just reloading rules. I don't remember the command exactly, but it's like #task reload all

Sinclipse

11-24-2012 05:39 PM

Aye, I just tried #task reloadall. hailed the assistant same thing, said it's not a valid taskID

I can't see anything obviously wrong with your task, but search your zone logs for the word TASK to see if there are any error messages when loading them.

Also you could add the line:

Code:

TASKS=on

to the log.ini file in the same directory as your executable files are located (create the file if it doesn't exist), and restart your server.

This should write detailed information to your zone logs as the tasks are loaded from the database. You should see task 225 being loaded, or an error indicating why it is not.

Thank you Derision, now is it normal to open the log.ini file and have it be completely blank... I added TASKS=on inside the file, I'll check what error it gives me and post back...

Sinclipse

What the... It doesn't show 225... At all, nor 224 (Which was a test quest I did a while ago that failed, as well)... O.o

Bull crap...

Not necessarily, that task editor gets really funky with saves. You will probably need to reload the application and check again.

Or just look right at the database, the logs aren't going to lie about sequential activities.

All times are GMT -4. The time now is 08:51 PM.
