Task System need Perl?

[Derision]

I tested them both, changing the Task IDs to 9000 and 9001.

First one works fine. For the second one, I needed to change the zoneid to 61 (felwithea) for it to work.

I also noticed the General gave back the Orc Skull. This is because in the PEQ quest repo he has a sub EVENT_ITEM and as the Orc Skull is not checked for in there, he gives it back.

You could add:

elsif(plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 16174 => 1))
{
# Quietly eat the Orc Skull
}

If you had more activities in the task, you could use quest::istaskactivityactive to only eat the skull if the player is doing the task, however in this case, the task is already marked complete by the time the Perl sub EVENT_ITEM is called.

I'll try the things mentioned here...but...do you have to use perl to get the task started? Is there a non-perl way to get one going?

No, the only way to bring up the task selector window to allow a player to accept a task, or to forcibly assign a task to a player is via Perl.

Well...everything does work fine now. The 2 test tasks I made worked...as I changed the NPC from the General to a Guard (who had no ITEM event in their perl script). Thanks for all the help...this task system is pretty cool.
