npcs saying things on a timer

how do you make npcs say something every xx minutes?

Code:

sub EVENT_TIMER

{

quest::say("Where did I put that darn cloth??");

}

#############

{

quest::say("If I can't find it..");

}



#############



sub EVENT_SPAWN

{

quest::settimer(1,300);

quest::settimer(2,400);

}

That should make the NPC say "Where did I put that darn cloth??" every 300 seconds, and also say "If I can't find it..." every 400 seconds.

I think the sub EVENT_TIMER will need a TimerID put in somewhere . If someone can verify this? My PERL is abit rusty, been a while ;)

doesnt that need to be somewhere?

Quote:

quest::settimer(timerID,seconds) - Starts timer for use with EVENT_TIMER You can have multiple "timerID"'s that trigger every "seconds".

-shrug- Try that ... the best I can recommend.
