Task/Quest Syntax help request

This is probably a simple fix but I have been all over the Wiki and forums and I am still missing what needs to be done here.

I keep Getting the below error when a task is enabled. I created the task through the EoC and it works fine, except for this request error:

Code:

Unable to find NPC to send EVENT_TASKACCEPTD to. Report this bug.

Below is the npc.pl code

Code:

sub EVENT_TASKACCEPTED

{

quest::say("You accepted task $273");

quest::say("You accepted task $274");

}



sub EVENT_SAY

{

if ($text =~/Hail/i)

 {

quest::say ("[test]! [testE]! Listen to this [song] .");

 }

 if($text=~/test/i)

{ 

plugin::AssignTask("solo", 273); #::: This will enable task 273

plugin::MM("test " . $name . "!"); #::: This will push a client side Yellow message in the screen

} 

if($text=~/testE/i)

{ 

plugin::AssignTask("solo", 274); #::: This will assign solo Kill task 274

quest::say ("test");

plugin::MM("test"); #::: This will push a client side Yellow message in the screen

} 

#The below statement will play a song to the client. "

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

$client->PlayMP3("compton.mp3");

}

}

#The below setion handles how a character hands in the items for the task.  This will grant a small amount of exp and give grp currency on turn in

sub EVENT_ITEM

{

if(plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 132492 => 1))

  {

  quest::say("test!");

  quest::exp(20);

  quest::summonitem(132491);

  }

}

You're probably going to need to show the database entries for the task and activities.

Activities Table:

Code:

taskid        activityid        step        activitytype        text1        text2          text3          goalid        goalmethod        goalcount        delivertonpc        zoneid        optional

273        0                 1          1              test        diamond                132492              0                 100                 24307                  24        0

Task Table:

Code:

id        duration        title        description                                  reward        rewardid        cashreward        xpreward        rewardmethod        startzone        minlevel        maxlevel        repeatable

273        0                test3   [1,Kill guards, Bring me 100 diamonds]        testitem        132493                 0                4000                 0                 24                  0                   0                  1

I created a new custom diamond so that is 132492

What does it say in yellow just before this error? "Task Giver ID is"...

'Task Giver ID is 0' There must be some code or table I need to enter the npcID I guess but I cannot find where. Unless my thinking is way off?

Quest_Globals table?

It gets the NPC ID from the npc_types table. So, yes it does need to be entered and the NPC ID cannot be 0. The normal format starts at the zone id * 1000. So in PoK, for example, the NPC IDs usually are 202xxx. The editor will help sort in that format.

This NPCID=24307 in NPC_Types table there are no npcs with 0. Do I need to define it in the .pl file somewhere?

Oh, using the plugin, you must specify the NPC ID.

EDIT: plugin::AssignTask("solo", 273, $npc->GetID());

Ah, Awesome! A million thanks for the help on this one!

Should probably update the wiki on the plugin use
