Quest problem
 

I'm trying to put this quest onto the npc Te`Anara in Surefall Glade. I named the file 3035.pl (her ID number, won't let me do it by name for some reason).

In the file it has

sub EVENT_ITEM
{
if ($itemcount{99219} == 1){quest::say("You...You were sent by Hierophant Trilawyth? Yes...it was going to [happen] someday...Very well.");
}

sub EVENT_SAY
{
if ($text=~ /What will happen/i){quest::say("The creation of the Staff of course. There aren't many left in this world that know the details of creating it. There is one person that I know of, Oartok the Truehearted, but unfortunately he left this world a long time ago. There are rumors, however, that his remains have been trapped within a beast gone mad. Seek out Oartok the Deranged in the place where time does not exist. If he is slain then maybe...just maybe...Oartok's soul will be freed.");
}

Can't find out why she won't respond to the item turn in or the text prompt. ANyone able to help me out here?

Just an option, but you should use the check_handins.pl plugin to check for handin success or failure.

Example:
Always end your EVENT_ITEM with:
and you won't lose items should something go wrong. You can do it the way you wrote it, too... but I think you might have a syntax problem around the $itemcount{###} <-- curlies instead of parens? Been a while since I've done it that way, can't remember if that's right.


Also, it is advisable in your EVENT_SAY to only check for exactly what you [bracket] in the previous text... while we're all used to having proper english conversations with our NPCs, it's likely they only cared about their [bracketed] word only.
