Timer issues

[Ozzara]

Is it possible to use summonitem(); inside a sub EVENT_TIMER routine based on a sub EVENT_ITEM routine? It just wont summon the item i want after the timer has expired.

Example:

 sub EVENT_ITEM 
 {
       if(($itemcount{16905} == 1) && ($itemcount{13006} == 1) && ($itemcount{12018} == 1)  && ($platinum >= 80)) {
      
      quest::say("Text goes here");
		$theclienteid = $client->GetID();  #store client id
		$thename = $name;		   #store client name
		$theclient = $client;		   #store client
		quest::settimer("1",10);
 
     }


	else {
                 plugin::return_items(\%itemcount);
                 quest::say("text goes here ");
    }

}

sub EVENT_TIMER {

	if ($timer eq "1") {
		quest::say("text goes here $thename.");
		quest::stoptimer("1");
		$theclient->summonitem(5555,$theclienteid);
	}

}

Pretty sure $theclient needs to be either declared such that it is accessible from EVENT_TIMER.

This totally works if i use:

$theclient->CastSpell(26,$theclienteid);

But when i try to use:

$theclient->summonitem(5555,$theclienteid);

Everything works, except it never summons an item. So if the CastSpell is working would'nt that mean $theclient has been declared?

My mistake, I haven't done much work with perl yet.

The functions are case sensitive, it could be SummonItem() as opposed to summonitem().

You are using the Quest Object wrong. See this wiki page for the full list:

http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...a=QuestObjects


And here is the SummonItem() Object usages from that page:

SummonItem(item_id, charges= 0)

So, you are supposed to set charges in the second argument, not the client. You also have the S and I in lowercase, and Quest Objects are case sensitive and will not work if you don't use the correct case. I think this is probably how you would use it (though I have never tried it myself):

$theclient->SummonItem(5555, 1);

It seems that while using Georges Tools, Quest Editor it changes my SummonItem to summonitem as soon as i step off the line of code.

I even tried

quest::SummonItem(5555,1);

again step of the line of code and it reverts it to

summonitem(5555,1);

just open your .pl file in ur quests folder and edit the quest to the uppercase version

I fixed the program to correct the case. Thanks for reporting it.
