Quest commands as of 2-17-2003
 

Lots of folks have had quest related questions lately, so I wanted to post a list of commands here that's up-to-date:

TRIGGERS
TRIGGER_ATTACK - When the NPC attacks
TRIGGER_DEATH - For when the NPC dies
TRIGGER_KILLED - For when the NPC kills someone
TRIGGER_FLAGS - Triggers a set of npc flags and resets them to 0
TRIGGER_ITEM - Works when an item is turned in
TRIGGER_TEXT - Works by either hailing, or saying a specific text

SCRIPT COMMANDS
%CHARNAME% - Says the characters name
%CHARLEVEL% - Says the characters level
%CHARRACE% - Says the characters race
%CHARCLASS% - Says the characters class
FACTION_CHECK - Checks faction, can assign values of 1-6
SAY - NPC will say text
EMOTE - NPC will emote(does NOT do an animation), you can also tie text into this as one line instead of making a seperate say
TEXT - Text will show up after the trigger when this is used
SHOUT - NPC will shout
ADD_HATELIST - NPC will aggro the person triggering when this is used
DEPOP - Causes the NPC to depop
SPAWN_NPC - Spawns an npc, format is SPAWN_NPC npcid
LEVEL_CHECK - Checks the persons level that is triggering
CUMULATIVE FLAG - Works in coalation with TRIGGER_FLAGS
NPC_FLAG - For item turn-ins, format is NPC_FLAG flag# flagvalue
PLAYER_FLAG - Works much like NPC_FLAG in how you assign the flag
EXP - Gives the player exp, format is EXP expvalue
LEVEL - Raises the player to a certain level, format is LEVEL levelvalue
SAFEMOVE - Moves the player to the safepoint of the zone
RAIN - Turns rain on
SNOW - Turns snow on
GIVE_CASH - Gives the player coin in copper amounts, format is GIVE_CASH coinvalue
GIVE_ITEM - Summons the player a specific item, format is GIVE_ITEM itemid itemcharges(for item charges, it's how many of the item you want summoned)
CAST_SPELL - Causes the npc to cast a spell, format is CAST_SPELL spellid
PVP - Changes the players pvp flag, format is PVP ON
CHANGEFACTION - Changes faction, format is CHANGEFACTION factionid factionvalue
DO_ANIMATION - Causes npc to do an animation
FLAG_CHECK - Checks for flags set by the PLAYER_FLAG function
CHANCE - Sets a chance value, so the script only has a chance of running

Some examples:
That was an example of quite a few of the triggers and commands. The item id's were just whatever popped into my head, so this may or may not work on your server. :P But it's to simulate giving a player a stack of 10 food in return for them collecting rat fur for this NPC.

That was an example of giving an npc things to say when they're in combat, etc.

That's an example of multiple item types being needed. I still haven't figured out how to use CUMULATIVE_FLAG and NPC_FLAG in conjunction.

Nice clean list.

question
 

What would i type if i wanted a npc too SET my Skill. This is what i have. >>>>>>>>


NPC_SCRIPT 100896{
TRIGGER_TEXT:Hail:{
SAY:Greetings %CHARNAME%, I can Set all your skills too lvl 180 if u wish? [okay]
}
}
TRIGGER_TEXT:okay:{

SAY:Gratz Your skills are now all 180 Thx. have fun. %CHARNAME%,!
}
}

thanks that was just what I was looking for.

Unfortunately I think ADDSKILL is only for one skill, so you would have to put in ADDSKILL for each skill you wish to raise(I'll test this and confirm it in a bit).

It would look something like this:
Then just save it as "100896.qst" if you're using notepad to edit it.

Okay I just tested this. ADDSKILL does NOT work correctly. So I'm gonna remove it from the list above to avoid confusion.

k

question

SWEET AWSOME THX>

question
 

what do i type too make a npc flag me 20?

Can't. There aren't any quest commands in the code atm to change status - if that's what you mean anyway.

Thats a very nice list, but I'm missing something a little more basic:

Say I have an idea for a quest and I type up the text for it and it's all correct ... what do I do then ?

How do I save it, into what file format, if I smack it into the quests folder in eqemu will it work automatically ?

Stuff like that.
