Is there a reason this doesn't work? (I want to exclude the pure melee classes from scribing discs).

Code:
sub EVENT_SAY
{
if ($text=~/Hail/i && $ulevel <= 50 && $class != 'Warrior' || $class != 'Rogue' || $class != 'Monk'){ 
quest::say("Hello, $name.  If you would like, I can [scribe] all of your spells up to level 50.  After that, you will have to find any remaining spells on your own!"); }

if ($text=~/Hail/i && $ulevel >= 51) { quest::say("Hello, $name.  You are too high to have any spells scribed!"); }

if ($text=~/scribe/i && $ulevel <= 50) { quest::say("Very well, here you are $name!");
quest::scribespells(); }
}
the above actually breaks the script entirely, no one is able to trigger the hail event.

Change != to ne and it should work fine.

Perl is a little ... different with string comparisons (especially compared to PHP). Check out this page for the specifics.

Also, you'll probably want to put all of the checks for classes in parentheses, otherwise your order of operations might cause some problems:
Code:
if ($text=~/Hail/i && $ulevel <= 50 && ($class != 'Warrior' || $class != 'Rogue' || $class != 'Monk')){
Hope this helps

Though, this is something you shouldn't really have to worry about. Pure melee classes learned from the spell scriber don't actually work ask a disc. They either need to turn the tomb into their class GM the same as live or you would have to enable the #traindisc command. The spell scriber won't train any real discs, but it will train spell versions of some discs for hybrids.

Hm, still doesn't work. Not a big deal though since they don't actually learn anything from it like you said trevius.

Thanks

can try using quotation marks instead of '.... "Warrior" instead of 'Warrior' for example
