Folks on the PEQ team or anyone else with experience in LUA can help in the #scripting help channel
Thanks for the quick response Akkadius, but I have also tried this in Perl to no avail. I can do it in perl or LUA, I just need to know what works.

Hell, if there was an easily readable/understandable tutorial somewhere that I could read on tasks (of this type) I would be more than happy to read them to try to teach myself, but for the most part I have only come across pages of code with no explanation as to what they do, and most of the time (90%) of the time its been unrelated scripts.

Normally I dont ask for help. I only ask for help as an utmost last resort. If anyone who knew how to fix this for me or tell me how to fix it myself were here standing in front of me, i'd PAY for that information. I know we all have lives outside of this and we dont have time to spend on here every moment of every day fixing everyones problems. Thats why I have been trying to be patient. But when I was getting home every night I was developing my server, and now - I just look at my PC and walk away. I am THAT frustrated. I know this is all me, I do - but it's who I am and I cant stand leaving loose ends. Especially when its my work I am talking about.

I am one of those "teach a man to fish and he will never go hungry" kind of guys. If someone could just point me to an online resource thats easily readable and understandable and covers what I am trying to do in either LUA or Perl I would be most gracious and you would probably never see me asking a question again! (I DID say "probably"! lol)

I will try the discord later, as I am on lunch now and dont have time to devote to talking about this on discord, so we will see where this goes.

I have a question for all server admins: Did you ever make a TASK where you kill an NPC as part of the task and it updated when the NPC died and completed the task? And if so, how did you do it? Is there a script already in the /Quest/ folder that I can use as a template? If so, where?

I would have to go through all the scripts in all the zone folders, which I don't have time for right now. I might be able
to take a look through this shortly after new years, unless you find something yourself before then.

PERL would be sub EVENT_DEATH_COMPLETE.

I can't remember if I ever attached a script to update a task.

It might be a problem with the actual task.....

Seeing as I used to use Task for Nagafen's lair until I found that QGLOBALS were a ton more efficient.
