Need help... Bot quest...

[c0ncrete]

your logic was a bit convoluted, had redundant checks, and at least one part was never going to be triggered (see highlights). also, when you were incrementing $botcount, it wasn't updating the qglobals, which it seemed to appear what you intended.

        elsif($text=~/companion/i)

            plugin::Whisper("Very well, 'Insert info about bot 2'");
        }
        
        
        ##End Product
        elsif($completed == 1)

            # this is not updating the qglobal

        }

    }
    else
    {
        plugin::Whisper("Please return when you have acquired enough knowledge.");
    }
}

This is the current code we have, it doesn't work. I've changed the plugin::Whisper to $npcwhisper as well, I can't seem to figure this out, is it something I'm doing wrong in the Database? As, when I tried copying over the Bazaar way of obtaining Bots to a random NPC in Nexus, it STILL didn't work... What's going on with the script, any help would be great.

try this:

    {
        if ($ulevel < 10)
