Anyone know whats wrong with this?

Here is the code I'm trying to use:

Code:

sub EVENT_SAY 

{

 {

  if ($text=~ /Hail/i) { quest::say("You look like a strong adventurer. Possibly you could take on this [problem] that ails our citizens of late.");} 

  if ($text=~ /Problem/i) { quest::say("You see, a brooding Dragon is in the sewers of Freeport.  I need you to find him and slay him. If you bring me one of his teeth I will reward you greatly.");} 

 }

  if ($item1 == 00001){ quest::say("Ah yes, I heard the screeches. Congratulations $name!");

  quest::summonitem("21820");

  quest::shout("All praise $name!");}

}

I can get the mob to do the summon item and shout, but only after I hail them after i do the turn in. Obviously thats not what I wanted.

You have an extra bracket set around each one. it should be this.

Code:

sub EVENT_SAY { 

if ($text=~ /Hail/i) { 

        quest::say("You look like a strong adventurer. Possibly you could take on this [problem] that ails our citizens of late.");

} 

if ($text=~ /Problem/i) { 

        quest::say("You see, a brooding Dragon is in the sewers of Freeport. I need you to find him and slay him. If you bring me one of his teeth I will reward you greatly.");

}

if ($item1 == 00001){

        quest::say("Ah yes, I heard the screeches. Congratulations $name!"); 

        quest::summonitem("21820"); 

        quest::shout("All praise $name!");

}

}

Also make sure you have at least 2 blank lines after the entire script.

Relocate your if($item ...) block to a new sub, EVENT_ITEM.

Code:

sub EVENT_SAY

{

   if [text x] then do action y

   etc.

}



sub EVENT_ITEM

{

   if [item x] then do action y

   etc.

}

Probably the $item variable is getting pushed to your script when it attempts to run EVENT_ITEM, but since the sub does not exist, there is no effect, other than assigning the variable a value inside the module. Upon the next hail, EVENT_SAY is triggered again, and the $item variable now has the expected value assigned.
