Yea... that sucks.. Ive tried every possibility I could with $zavious = undef;.. nothing would update... tried quest::setglobal ($zavious = undef); Ive tried undef zavious, undef $zavious, quest::delglobal ("zavious"); wiht no sucess.. It was originally at 0, I used a coommannd to make it to 1 and it was sat at 1, and wont update to two.. with the commands specified by the program. I didnt knotice the part about $variable = undef; but Id like to see some sorta example here. Once I learn this, since there is very vague descriptions in all of this.. and no examples or documentation... well documentation that id like.. so I can learn this stuff.. but Ive spent 8+ hrs a day on this with no luc.. it wont go from 1 to 2.. Id be more tan willing to post both of my examples in order to help future people that come along that dont understand the stull that I didnt... I think it would be very helpful. So far heres what Im tryin to do. Its my last real step before I finally figure out the jist of qglobal. anyway, heres what i got. id like for someone to point out what Im doin wrong here, and ILl post alot more that you guys have helped with as well that I think a lot of newer scripters like me that catch on fast. I feel like a noob for not readin those few lines about $variable = undef; however Im catchin on pretty fast. for only learning this for about 2-3 weeks, Ive come prett yfar.At any rate, Im working on a smaller one first. Its pretty filled up with qglobals:P But like I said, I have some complex scripts, that I will utilate qglobal in once I get it sorted, that Im willing to share with the community... once I figure this one darn command out properly... Ive searched websites.. even non emu ones.. and have come up with stuff that doesnt work.. Ive read every script in peq quest database.. with little success.. they dont use $variable = undef; they use quest::delglobal("Zavious"), however.. delglobal wont delete it! very strange to me..at any rate Id like to thank everyone helping me fix this I need it to go from 0 to 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 in one script... I know thats extensive, but i need to make this part to where a player can only do this quest once.. well any player only do this quest once.. IM gonna go ahead and post my code here in hopes of some soultion someone can give me, because I am at a lose here.. Ive spend 8ish hours tryin to figure this out.. it seems like most of the peq quests dont use this function.. I saw 2 that used globals.. are they for advanced scripters? or is it new? Problem is our old coder is mia.. he said he would play, but wasnt gonna touch coding etc etc... so I decided to learn. IM a quick learner when it comes to this.. I think Ive got everything down pat now when it comes to quest npc's. But when my servers done, your more than welcome to come in and test any that wants to. Ill let come in and look. But anyway, I really hope Im not buggin you guys, and actually consider me as a new programmer keeping eqemu alive. So let me know what you think here

Code:
sub EVENT_SAY
  {
  if ($text=~/hail/i && $zavious == 1)
  {
    quest::say("Have you retrieved the four books that the Ambassador requested
    from Crushbone?");
  }
  if ($text=~/hail/i && $zavious == 2)
  {
    quest::say("Are you [willing] to perform another task for the council?");
  }
  if ($text=~/hail/i && $zavious == 3)
  {
    quest::say("Have you discovered what else the orcs are doing in Crushbone?");
  }
  if ($text=~/hail/i && $zavious == 4)
  {
    quest::say("Good luck on your journey $name. May the Five light your path.");
  }
  if ($text=~/willing/i && $zavious == 2)
  {
    quest::say("Good, then you shall set off immediately to Crushbone. Some of
    the adventurers that returned reported seeing a log cabin holding someone of
    importance. We wish you to seek this person out and discover what else the
    Orcs are doing. #summonitem 69977");
    quest::setglobal("zavious",3,0,"M2");
  }
  if ($zavious == 0)
  {
  if ($text=~/Hail/i)
  {
    quest::say("Hello $name. I have been expecting you. Ambassador Dumont told
    me you would be arriving shortly. Do you have the four books that the
    Ambassador told you to retrieve from Crushbone? If so, hand them to me.
    #summonitem 51510");
    quest::setglobal("zavious",1,0,"M2");
  }
  }
}


  sub EVENT_ITEM
  {
  if (plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 51510 => 4) && $zavious == 1)
  {
   quest::say("Ahhh you have returned with the books. You say the humanoids call
   themselves Orcs?  Hmmm.. Interesting.. The council will study these books to
   decipher what is written within them. Ambassador Dumont thanks you as do I,
   brave $race. If your still [willing] they have another task for you.");
   quest::setglobal("zavious",2,0,"M2");
  }
  elsif (plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 69977 => 1) && $zavious == 3)
  {
   quest::say("What is this $name? It appears to be some kind of battleplan. Is
   that Felwithe?! This truly is an amazing discovery my friend. Take this to
   Councillor Elandilira. I think she may like to hear of this discovery. It is
   a quick translation of the battleplans.");
   quest::summonitem(1004);
   quest::setglobal("zavious",4,0,"M2");
  }
  else
  {
   (plugin::return_items(\%itemcount));
   quest::say("This isn't what I'm looking for.");
  }
}
}
Once again, any help would be appreciated, I know Im probably bugging you guys at this point, but if theres anything I can do to help anyone, let me know and I will. Just being able to update the variable from 0 to 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 would be good, and I heard its through use of $variable = undef; if someone could help here.. Id worship them:P Thanks in advance.
