Quest Globals check... Am I doing it right???

**trevius** · #1 12-18-2008, 05:53 AM

One thing I notice right off is that when the mob dies, the first check you do is to check if the global is not defined, then you are checking under that what the global is set to. If it isn't defined, it won't be set to anything :P

Try changing this:

Code:

	if (!defined($qglobals{emoush})){

to this:

Code:

	if (defined($qglobals{emoush})){

well that helps, but I still can't get it to work... I must be missing some stupid monday detail...

new code...

Code:

sub EVENT_DEATH
{
        if (defined($qglobals{emoush})){

                if ($qglobals{emoush} == 1)
                        {
                        quest::delglobal("emoush");
                        quest::shout("deleted");
                        quest::setglobal("emoush", 2, 5, "F");
                        quest::shout("1");
                        }
                elsif ($qglobals{emoush} == 2)
                        {
                        quest::delglobal("emoush");
                        quest::shout("deleted");
                        quest::setglobal("emoush", 3, 5, "F");
                        quest::shout("2");
                        }
                elsif ($qglobals{emoush} == 3)
                        {
                        quest::delglobal("emoush");
                        quest::setglobal("emoush", 4, 5, "F");
                        quest::shout("3");
                        quest::signal("342052");
                        }
               }
}

I woke up and thought I had the code that would work... guess not... any thoughts???

TIA... now back to bed.

You have the wrong option set in your global for what you are wanting to do. Option 0 can only be seen by the exact NPC that created the global. You probably want option 3 or so.

Change this

Code:

quest::setglobal("emoush",2,0,"F");

to this:

Code:

quest::setglobal("emoush",2,3,"F");

Here is the list of options from the wiki quest page:
http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...=QuestTutorial

Code:

-----------------------------------------
|  value |  npcid  |  player |   zone   |
-----------------------------------------
|   0    |  this   |   this  |   this   |
|   1    |  all    |   this  |   this   |
|   2    |  this   |   all   |   this   |
|   3    |  all    |   all   |   this   |
|   4    |  this   |   this  |   all    |
|   5    |  all    |   this  |   all    | 
|   6    |  this   |   all   |   all    |
|   7    |  all    |   all   |   all    |
-----------------------------------------

I also think you might need to add a heading to your spawn2:

Code:

quest::spawn2(1230, 0, 0, -136, 1993, -3);

Code:

quest::spawn2(1230, 0, 0, -136, 1993, -3, 0);

Well, I have narrowed it down to the line in red... whats wrong with that?

Code:

sub EVENT_DEATH
{
        if(defined($qglobals{emoush})){

                if ($qglobals{emoush} == 1)
                        {
                        quest::delglobal("emoush");
                        quest::shout("deleted");
                        quest::setglobal("emoush", 2, 5, "F");
                        quest::shout("1");
                        }
                elsif ($qglobals{emoush} == 2)
                        {
                        quest::delglobal("emoush");
                        quest::shout("deleted");
                        quest::setglobal("emoush", 3, 5, "F");
                        quest::shout("2");
                        }
                elsif ($qglobals{emoush} == 3)
                        {
                        quest::delglobal("emoush");
                        quest::setglobal("emoush", 4, 5, "F");
                        quest::shout("3");
                        quest::signal(342052, 1, 0);
                        }
               }
}

could it be something with this code for the other mob???

Code:

#Emoush_the_Destroyer
sub EVENT_SPAWN
{
	quest::setglobal("emoush", 1, 5, "F");
	quest::shout("Who has AWAKENED ME!?!?!, You shall die for interupting my slumber!");
}

sub EVENT_SIGNAL
{
        if (defined($qglobals{emoush})){

        if ($qglobals{emoush} == 4)
        {
        quest::spawn2(1230, 0, 0, -136, 1993, -3);
        quest::delglobal("emoush");
        quest::shout("depoped, respawned");
        quest::depop();
        }
        }
}

sub EVENT_DEATH
{
	quest::delglobal("emoush");
        quest::shout("global deleted");
}
