Making a Npc Despawn

Writing a code for a simple quest trying to make the npc despawn and start respawn timer when item is turned in. Currently the npc wont despawn. Any clues what I missed?

Code:

sub EVENT_SAY {

        if($text=~/hail/i) {

                quest::say("Free me!");

        } 

        }

        

        

        

        sub EVENT_ITEM { 

        if(plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 19697 => 1)) { # Key

                quest::say("Thank you $name!");

        $mob->Depop(StartSpawnTimer);

                }

                        plugin::return_items(\%itemcount);

}

        }

For the '$mob->Depop(StartSpawnTimer);' portion try this:

Code:

$npc->Depop(1);

quest::depop(npc_type_id) # A single mob will de-spawn and not start the spawn timer.

This command will also work. The quest command happens to be the one I use for the depops I've worked with on my server.

Alternatively:

quest::depop_withtimer(npc_type_id) # A single mob will de-spawn and start the spawn timer.

This one will apply the timer if you ever need it to.

Worked perfectly KK ty sir flawless as always. Ty for the suggestion Leet,was going to give those a shot first but was worried as I have about 10 total mobs all with different ID's and really didnt feel like making a quest for each one,and was worried applying quest based on name could make wrong npc despawn,or all of them.

One more question. How can I make the turn in update a task? Was looking at the wiki but theres not a whole lot of break down on this.

Try this:

Code:

sub EVENT_ITEM { 

    if(plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 19697 => 1) && quest::istaskactivityactive(TASKID, ACTIVITYID)) { # Key

        quest::updatetaskactivity(TASKID, ACTIVITYID, 1);

        quest::say("Thank you $name!");

        $npc->Depop(1);

    }

    plugin::return_items(\%itemcount);

}
