Quest Globals Question.

All right, I have a question about quest globals, if I wanted it to be an account global would it be like below?:

Code:

quest::setglobal(SpellReset$actd, 0, 5, "F");

Check at the bottom of http://www.eqemulator.net/wiki/wikka...=QuestTutorial

5 = this player (aka character)

If you have extra code to get acct id, I'm sure you could get it to work.

So if I have this below I should be able to do it, 5 = NPC and Zone all.

Code:

my $actd = $client->AccountName();

almost. you're not concatenating your string correctly in your first example.

you want something like this for the varname field of the qglobal:

Code:

#interpolation

my $aName = $client->AccountName();

my $qGlobal = "SpellReset$aName";

Code:

# concatenation

my $qGlobal = "SpellReset" . $client->AccountName();

you don't have to save the varname first. you could do it all in a single line like this:

Code:

quest::setglobal('SpellReset'.$client->AccountName(), 0, 5, 'F');

it's a style choice, really... but you likely want to save it if you intend to use it more than once for the same client in the script.

It is a style choice, however if you can get in the habit of doing it like the above, you will be better off.
