Task/Quest Syntax help request

[Warking]

This is probably a simple fix but I have been all over the Wiki and forums and I am still missing what needs to be done here.

I keep Getting the below error when a task is enabled. I created the task through the EoC and it works fine, except for this request error:

Unable to find NPC to send EVENT_TASKACCEPTD to. Report this bug.

Below is the npc.pl code

sub EVENT_TASKACCEPTED
{
quest::say("You accepted task $273");
quest::say("You accepted task $274");
}

sub EVENT_SAY
{
if ($text =~/Hail/i)
 {
quest::say ("[test]! [testE]! Listen to this [song] .");
 }
 if($text=~/test/i)
{ 
plugin::AssignTask("solo", 273); #::: This will enable task 273
plugin::MM("test " . $name . "!"); #::: This will push a client side Yellow message in the screen
} 
if($text=~/testE/i)
{ 
plugin::AssignTask("solo", 274); #::: This will assign solo Kill task 274
quest::say ("test");
plugin::MM("test"); #::: This will push a client side Yellow message in the screen
} 
#The below statement will play a song to the client. "
if($text=~/song/i){
$client->PlayMP3("compton.mp3");
}
}
#The below setion handles how a character hands in the items for the task.  This will grant a small amount of exp and give grp currency on turn in
sub EVENT_ITEM
{
if(plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 132492 => 1))
  {
  quest::say("test!");
  quest::exp(20);
  quest::summonitem(132491);
  }
}

You're probably going to need to show the database entries for the task and activities.

[Warking]

Activities Table:

taskid	activityid	step	activitytype	text1	text2	  text3  	goalid	goalmethod	goalcount	delivertonpc	zoneid	optional
273	0	         1	  1	      test	diamond                132492	      0	         100	         24307	          24	0

Task Table:

id	duration	title	description	                          reward	rewardid	cashreward	xpreward	rewardmethod	startzone	minlevel	maxlevel	repeatable
273	0	        test3   [1,Kill guards, Bring me 100 diamonds]	testitem	132493	         0	        4000	         0	         24	          0	           0	          1

I created a new custom diamond so that is 132492

What does it say in yellow just before this error? "Task Giver ID is"...

[Warking]

'Task Giver ID is 0' There must be some code or table I need to enter the npcID I guess but I cannot find where. Unless my thinking is way off?

Quest_Globals table?

[joligario]

It gets the NPC ID from the npc_types table. So, yes it does need to be entered and the NPC ID cannot be 0. The normal format starts at the zone id * 1000. So in PoK, for example, the NPC IDs usually are 202xxx. The editor will help sort in that format.

[Warking]

This NPCID=24307 in NPC_Types table there are no npcs with 0. Do I need to define it in the .pl file somewhere?

[joligario]

Oh, using the plugin, you must specify the NPC ID.

EDIT: plugin::AssignTask("solo", 273, $npc->GetID());

[Warking]

Ah, Awesome! A million thanks for the help on this one!

Should probably update the wiki on the plugin use
