Quest help

[hayward6]

Well I worked out all the talking... but for the life of me I cant get the person to react at all to any type of money even using the script taken directly from the guide. Has something changed?

[hayward6]

It's quite possible that this quest will be the death of me... here's what I have so far, it works all the way up untill time to turn in money. the npc im placing this on simply will not respond to money turnins... yes I know the pet summon wont work anyways, but he should at least be saying his responce phrase to the money right? any help would be appreciated.

#Hired Hand's Quest

sub EVENT_SAY { 
if($text=~/Hail/i){
    quest::emote("Looks around carefully");
    quest::pause(2);
    quest::say("Hail. $name!  I had to be sure you were alone, this type of (buisness) is not always accepted among the people here.");
}
if($text=~/buisness/i)
  {
    quest::say("What! you don't know of my trade? Have you not heard of the Freeport Hired Hands? Oh come now, don't tell me you haven't come to hire an (Adventurer) from me.");
  }
  if($text=~/adventurer/i)
  {
    quest::say("Yes, an adventurer! I have some of the finest (cleric's), (Warrior's) and (Wizard's) Norrath has ever seen. If hired they will fight at your side for the day.");
  }
  if($text=~/cleric's/i)
  {
    quest::say("Yes the cleric's I have are very experienced and will help to keep you alive in combat. Trade me 2 Gold for the services of a Cleric for one day.");
  }
  if($text=~/warrior's/i)
  {
    quest::say("Yes the Warrior's I have are very experienced in battle and will protect you well. Trade me 4 Gold for the services of a Warrior for one day.");
  }
  if($text=~/Wizard's/i)
  {
    quest::say("Yes, the Wizard's I have are very experienced in battle and will assist you well. Trade me 6 Gold for the services of a Warrior for one day.");
  }
}




sub EVENT_ITEM
{
if($copper == 2){
    quest::say("Thank you, this Cleric is among my finest and, will serve you well.");
    quest::givepet(npcid);}
}

    quest::say("Thank you, this Warrior is among my finest and, will serve you well.");
    quest::givepet(npcid);}
}

#END (Quest writing Sucks!)

If it's like your sample above, you have Multiple Sub EVENT_ITEM's. You should only have one

sub EVENT_ITEM
{
	#Cleric
	if($gold==2){
		quest::say("Thank you, this Cleric is among my finest and, will serve you well."); 
		quest::givepet(npcid);
}
        #Warrior
	elsif($gold==4){
		quest::say("Thank you, this Warrior is among my finest and, will serve you well."); 
		quest::givepet(npcid);
}

        #Wizard
	elsif($gold==6){
		quest::say("Thank you, this Wizard is among my finest and, will serve you well."); 
		quest::givepet(npcid);
}
}
#end of quest

Ok, it's working as written below. All I need to do now is make the actual pet summon work, make sure the pets are able to cross zone lines and set a check to make sure the player doesn't already have a pet... and add some text for an invalid turnin lots to do, good thing the weekend is coming.

#Hired Hand's Quest

sub EVENT_SAY { 
if($text=~/Hail/i){
    quest::emote("Looks around carefully");
    quest::pause(2);
    quest::say("Hail. $name!  I had to be sure you were alone, this type of (buisness) is not always accepted among the people here.");
}
if($text=~/buisness/i)
  {
    quest::say("What! you don't know of my trade? Have you not heard of the Norrath Hired Hands? Oh come now, don't tell me you haven't come to hire an (Adventurer) from me.");
  }
  if($text=~/adventurer/i)
  {
    quest::say("Yes, an adventurer! I have some of the finest (cleric's), (Warrior's) and (Wizard's) Norrath has ever seen. If hired they will fight at your side for the day.");
  }
  if($text=~/cleric's/i)
  {
    quest::say("Yes the cleric's I have are very experienced and will help to keep you alive in combat. Trade me 2 Gold for the services of a Cleric for one day.");
  }
  if($text=~/warrior's/i)
  {
    quest::say("Yes the Warrior's I have are very experienced in battle and will protect you well. Trade me 4 Gold for the services of a Warrior for one day.");
  }
  if($text=~/Wizard's/i)
  {
    quest::say("Yes, the Wizard's I have are very experienced in battle and will assist you well. Trade me 6 Gold for the services of a Warrior for one day.");
  }
}

sub EVENT_ITEM {
	#Cleric
	if($gold==2){
		quest::say("Thank you, this Cleric is among my finest and, will serve you well."); 
		quest::givepet(npcid);}
        #Warrior
	elsif($gold==4){
		quest::say("Thank you, this Warrior is among my finest and, will serve you well."); 
		quest::givepet(npcid);}

        #Wizard
	elsif($gold==6){
		quest::say("Thank you, this Wizard is among my finest and, will serve you well."); 
		quest::givepet(npcid);}
}
#end of quest

for your item turn in..

sub EVENT_ITEM {
	#Cleric
	if($gold==2 && $class eq "Cleric"){
		quest::say("Thank you, this Cleric is among my finest and, will serve you well."); 
		quest::givepet(npcid);}
        #Warrior
	elsif($gold==4 && $class eq "Warrior"){
		quest::say("Thank you, this Warrior is among my finest and, will serve you well."); 
		quest::givepet(npcid);}

        #Wizard
	elsif($gold==6 && $class eq "Wizard"){
		quest::say("Thank you, this Wizard is among my finest and, will serve you well."); 
		quest::givepet(npcid);}
}

would go with this so other classes cant get the wiz/war/cler pet

[hayward6]

I don't think I understand this... I don't want it restricted to certain classes at all. I want anyone to be able to go hire a pet and use it to fight with them. Like a Cleric may want to hire a fighter, a Bard may want to hire a wizard... like that. Did I misunderstand what your offering here?

Also remember that this is a huge work in progress. I have no idea right now how I will get the cleric pet to buff and heal a player. It works in eq live with the vet reward pet... so it is possible, but how we can do it here is all together different

[Cripp]

oooh i understand, misunderstood your quest
my bad
