This is actually a lot easier than it seems.

Since we are using Perl, we have the benefits of all that Perl offers, including time & localtime.

If you wanted to define a variable $timestamp to have the current time, you could add this to your quest:

$timestamp = localtime(time);

Simple as that. Then, you could add it to your output file:

quest::write("bossdeaths.txt","[$timestamp]: $mname was killed by $name the $class.");

Sweet! That worked perfectly!

Here is a test quest:

#test quest

sub EVENT_SAY {

$timestamp = localtime(time);

if ($text =~/Hail/i) {
quest::say ("Why, hello there $name!  Pleasure meeting you here.");
quest::write("test.txt","[$timestamp]: $name, the $class, hailed $mname"); }

}

It put the following output into my test.txt file:

[Fri Jun 27 21:41:56 2008]: Trevazar, the Warrior, hailed Larren000

Now, if I could only get it to add guildname in somehow, since $uguildid doesn't seem to work. Not a big deal though. Getting that timestamp working was what I wanted the most. Thanks again AndMetal!
