NPC heading..

Using 30 seconds myself, but on Live it may have varied per npc but dont quote me on that.. Tried to find any quest npc's on zones that I havent touched yet, and no quest npc that I found, would return to original heading after hailed... Mobs with pathing would obviously return to path tho

Still playing with perl and "learning" so I wasnt aware of the methods you posted Trev.. mine are a bit sloppier and tedious to setup.. #loc of mob (with no interaction of course) then..

Portion of code.. With any possible dialogue outcome resulting in the quest::starttimer

sub EVENT_TIMER
	{
	if($timer eq "heading")
		{
		quest::moveto(-142.9,104.7,105.3,102.1);
		}
	}

sub EVENT_SAY
	{
	
	if($text=~/hail/i)
		{
		if($class eq 'Warrior' || $class eq 'Cleric' || $class eq 'Paladin' || $class eq 'Shadowknight' || $class eq 'Ranger')
			{
			if(quest::istaskactive(26))
				{
				$client->Message(7, "$NPCName whispers, 'I am sorry $name, but I cannot help you any further.'");
				quest::settimer("heading", 30);
				}
			else
				{
				$client->Message(7, "$NPCName whispers, 'Hello $name. I can craft you a set of $plate identical to the ones some of us wear, if you gather the materials.'");
				quest::settimer("heading", 30);
				}
			}
		}
       }

Heres another question.. Is there a way to start timer easier then what I have done? Possibly a...

sub EVENT_SAY
   {
   quest::settimer("heading", 30);
       {
        if($text=~/hail/i)
        }
    }

Yeah, you can simplify it a bit by doing this:

sub EVENT_TIMER
{
	if($timer eq "heading")
	{
		my $SpawnHeading = $npc->GetSpawnPointH();
		quest::moveto($x, $y, $z, $SpawnHeading);
	}
}

sub EVENT_SAY
{
	
	if($text=~/hail/i)
	{
		if($class eq 'Warrior' || $class eq 'Cleric' || $class eq 'Paladin' || $class eq 'Shadowknight' || $class eq 'Ranger')
		{
			if(quest::istaskactive(26))
			{
				$client->Message(7, "$NPCName whispers, 'I am sorry $name, but I cannot help you any further.'");
			}
			else
			{
				$client->Message(7, "$NPCName whispers, 'Hello $name. I can craft you a set of $plate identical to the ones some of us wear, if you gather the materials.'");
			}
		}
	}
	quest::settimer("heading", 30);
}

That way, you don't need to get the exact loc of each NPC, this timer should work for all without needing to adjust it. Then, you just add in the the settimer once at the end (or beginning) of EVENT_SAY and you are all set.
