clicking either True or False will have your character say
says 'True'
says 'False'

What am I missing to have the elsif listen to the True or False? Can it be done from an item?

sub EVENT_ITEM_CLICK {
	if($itemid == 147498){
		EVENT_SAY();
	}
} 


sub EVENT_SAY{
	if($itemid == 147498){
		$client->Message(15, "Pick True or False [" . quest::saylink("True") . "].  or [" . quest::saylink("False") . "].");
	}	
	elsif ($text=~/True/i) {
		$client->Message(15, "You picked True.");	
		quest::ding();	
	}
	elsif ($text=~/False/i) {
		$client->Message(15, "You picked False.");
		quest::ding();
		
	} 
}

You need to remove the event say and put it in global_player.pl or the player.pl in the specific zone folder you want this to work in. Its best to make the saylink silent and make a fake command for it.

	# quest::saylink("#pick true",1,"True");
	# quest::saylink("#pick false",1,"False");
	if($text=~/#pick/i) {
		my @arg = split(' ', $text);
		if($arg[1] eq "true") {
			#do something
		} elsif ($arg[1] eq "false") {
			#do something different
		} else {
			#do something else entirely
		}
	}
