You can use qglobals in order to do this, but you must make sure the NPC has its qglobals set to 1.

Here is an example of qglobals being used to limit people from setting skills and wiping out any skill over 100.

sub EVENT_SAY
{
my $skill = quest::saylink("skills");
if($text=~/hail/i)
{
plugin::Whisper("Welcome to the tombs $name. You have access to a few commands to help you through your journey type #help to see them. Read the MOTD I can also give you [$skill] and spells (say links are broken, will fix in AM)");

}
if($text=~/skills/i && $qglobals{skills} == 0)
{
quest::setallskill(100);
quest::scribespells(65);
quest::traindisc(65);
quest::setglobal("skills",1,7,'f');
}
elsif($text=~/skills/i && $qglobals{skills}>= 1)
{
plugin::Whisper("You're trained");
}
}

[Trubles]

Did you source in all the database updates that comply with your source revision?

[warkid]

yep and all was working fine... untill.... i added a damn NPC to Tutorial....
i made the NPC fine no problems.... but when i set it to spawn with server ... i got problems and i can no longer use tutorial.... POK etc works fine

[vsab]

In the npc_types table, check that the NPC's "Special_abilities" is not null (it can be empty though), and that the slow_mitigation is not null too.

[warkid]

that worked thanks VSAB i put 0 in both and i also changed Qglobals to 1

[Trubles]

which is why i asked if you had sourced in all the required stuff

slow_mitigation_fix.sql was added recently.

[warkid]

ill take a look for that... i made quest script (or i think its fine) then i saved it as npcname.pl into tutorialb quest folder but the npc uses tutorial default quest... any idea?

[Trubles]

Remove the old quest first, then make sure the extension is actually .pl in the tutorialb folder.

I'd use NPCID personally.

[warkid]

how i find npcid? and it iS .PL i used.... and i cant remove old file as its currently using tutorial defult quest file so if i do remove it will stop all turtorial quest working (i all ready tried this )

[Trubles]

To find the npcid of any npc you can do this multiple ways:

1. #npcstats with the npc targeted
2. SELECT 'id' FROM 'npc_types' WHERE name = 'npcname';
3. Any sort of editors, EoC, GeorgeS' tools..

You can PM me if you need help at any time.

You don't need to remove the default.pl from tutorialb.

You just need to name your .pl the npcid or the npc name:

Ex: npcid=999216
npcname=Test_Ring

If you don't include the _ in the name it will not work correctly.
