That or use elsif to process the Bind line.

[Cisyouc]

I dont think elsif would help here....

[solid11]

So just change-

if($text=~/bind/i)

TO
if($text=~/yes/i)

?

[Cisyouc]

yes. And people will have to reply 'yes' to get bound.

Actually the reason hes doing both is because HAIL, SoulBINDer blah...

both hail and bind are in the test the players send the NPC.

So, elsif would fix it.

That's the reason on eqlive you have to say the phrase "bind my soul". But Perl will misinterpret it if you just try to put the phrase in there with spaces.

Try to put backslashes in front of the spaces in the regex.

if($text=~/bind\ my\ soul/i)

This should work for you... It works for me perfectly...

sub EVENT_SAY {
if ($text=~/Hail/i)
{
quest::say("Greetings $name. When a hero of our world is
slain, their soul returns to the place it was last bound and the body is
reincarnated. As a member of the Order of Eternity, it is my duty to
[bind your soul] to this location if that is your wish.");
}
if ($text=~/bind my soul/i)
{
quest::say("Very well, you will return to this spot when you die.");
quest::selfcast(2049);
}
}


Ok now lets look over your quests...

sub EVENT_SAY {
if ($text=~/Hail/i){quest::say("Greetings $name . When a hero of our world is slain. their soul returns to the place it was last bound and the body is reincarnated. As a member of the Order of Eternity. it is my duty to [bind your soul] to this location if that is your wish."); }
if ($text=~/bind my soul/i)
{
quest::say("Very well. You will return to this spot when you die.");
quest::selfcast(2049);}
}

Its always best to clean up your quests and make sure all of the brackets ect are not so bunched up, like I marked in red, above... Although I am not sure why yours does not work, all I did was clean up how close everything was and it fixed...

"and the other one"


sub EVENT_SAY
{
if($text=~/Hail/i){quest::say("Greetings $name. When a hero of our world is slain their soul returns to the place it was last bound and the body is reincarnated. As a member of the Order of Eternity it is my duty to [bind your soul] to this location if that is your wish.");}
if($text=~/bind my soul/i)
{
quest::say("Binding your soul. You will return here when you die.");
quest::castspell($userid,2049);##quest::selfcast(id); is all you need...
}
}

Lexen, I copied your to the "T", making sure space were and were not where they were suppose to be. It doesn't work. Also, when I log in hail him he won't say anything until I #reloadpl on him. Then he just says the first line of text, but won't do anything when I say bind my soul. Only fix that REMOTELY works so far is Cisyouc's version and that one automatically binds me as soon as I first hail him, but I still have to #reloadpl first for him to say anything at all. This is Cisyouc's version again, maybe you all know why his works, somewhat, and the others don't, and why I have to do the #reloadpl command each time I log in. Is it because the server is technically down and your booting up the quests on the server when you bring it up? thats the only thing I can think of since Sony's servers are up all the time and they probably boot up all the quests when they bring it up from a patch. Grabbin at straws here, hehe.

sub EVENT_SAY {
if ($text=~/Hail/i){quest::say("Greetings $name . When a hero of our world is slain. their soul returns to the place it was last bound and the body is reincarnated. As a member of the Order of Eternity. it is my duty to [bind your soul] to this location if that is your wish."); }
if($text=~/bind/i)
{
quest::say("Very well. You will return to this spot when you die.");
quest::selfcast(2049); }
}

BTW, you asked why it seems they are bunched up and that's the way they came when I downloaded the PEQ quest pack. But the one above is exactly how I have it in the file and it will bind me, but without a request too. thanks.
