Summoning an item every x hours

[Bandor]

Wasn't sure what to title this so I guess its self explanatory lol. Currently using the following,but it doesnt appear to be working.

sub EVENT_CONNECT {
    quest::settimer("Reward", 14400);
}
}

sub EVENT_TIMER {
    if ($timer eq "Reward") {
        quest::stoptimer("Reward");
        $client->AddAlternateCurrencyValue(43942, 1);
        $client->Message(315, "You have received AMOUNT CURRENCY for staying online for four hours!");
        quest::settimer("Reward", 14400);
    }
}

AddAlternateCurrencyValue takes two parameters, currency ID and value. Not item ID and value. So find your currency's ID in the alternate_currency table and use that. Also, you have a random right curly after the end curly for EVENT_CONNECT.

So should look like

sub EVENT_CONNECT {
    quest::settimer("Reward", 14400);
}


sub EVENT_TIMER {
    if ($timer eq "Reward") {
        quest::stoptimer("Reward");
        $client->AddAlternateCurrencyValue(4, 1);
        $client->Message(315, "You have received AMOUNT CURRENCY for staying online for four hours!");
        quest::settimer("Reward", 14400);
    }
}

Yes, assuming the currency ID is 4.

So have been messing around with this for a couple days trying to figure out whats up, but it refuses to work for me. It is currently in my global_player is this the correct location or am I missing something?

I would use EVENT_ENTERZONE for the start of the timer. Other than that it looks fine

[Bandor]

If I use EVENT_ENTERZONE would I have to define the zone? Was hoping to be able to set it up where it just started as soon as a player is logged in.
