The Lost Trinket

Sadly, that did not work :(

Did you make the changes while the server was still running? If so, make sure you #reloadpl
Is your check_handin plugin in the proper plugin folder?

[Loftus]

Woot! That did it!

Thank you so much, J.

Now with my test GM character, the experience that was returned was a value other than 2500. It was 356875 - how do I account for that?

Also, where do I get the plugin "plugin::return_items(\%itemcount)"?

You don't really get experience as a GM so you can pretty much ignore that value. I've never looked at the code to see why it spits out those numbers though. They can be pretty huge.

Thanks Andrew! Any guidance on the return_items plugin?

I believe it is part of the check_items plugin. It's part of one of them. I looked it up once but don't recall which one it is in. You can search for it in the plugin folder if you check for contents(ie grep).

Oh gotcha.

So as long as I have the handin plugin I do not need to add a 5th file in the plugin directory for this?

Also, someone else noted in another thread that they prefer to NOT put the return_items in an else statement, but rather at the end as stand-alone. This apparently would return any unused/incorrect items if at least some of the items were what the NPC was looking for?

So,

sub EVENT_ITEM
{
if(plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 54001 => 1))
  {
  quest::say("Alas, my poor Sethena! Thank you for this trinket, $name. Please, take this as a token of my gratitude.");
  quest::faction(264,100);
  quest::exp(18000);
  quest::summonitem(54002);
  }
}

plugin::return_items(\%itemcount);
