PC input into quest

Is there a way I can use and item number spoken by a pc as the input for quest::summonitem() example:

Code:

sub EVENT_ITEM
{
   if ((itemcount, 99999 = 1))
    {
      quest:say("Very well, tell me the item you desire")
    }
      quest::summonitem(this is where I want the PC input));
    }
}

Hmm. Interesting concept. You could try quest::summonitem($text); carefully nested inside an if(condition) since I believe "$text" holds the value of what you /say to the targetted NPC... Try it, let us know.

Code:

  sub EVENT_SAY {
    if($text=~/.*/i) {
  	quest::summonitem($text);
    }
  }

Awesome, thanks guys... will try it out after I get home from work.

Next question is can I lock this inside an item turn in? I only want the PC to be able to trigger this after they turn in an item.

Code:

sub EVENT_ITEM
{
   if ((itemcount, 99999 = 1))
    {
      quest:say("Very well, tell me the item you desire")
sub EVENT_SAY {
    if($text=~/.*/i) {
  	quest::summonitem($text);
    }
}

Would this lock away the EVEN_SAY behind the EVENT_ITEM, or is this wrong all together on having both sub events in there?

no, you can only have one event_say in the file.

you can set a temporary variable to have the npc summon the item when whatever key item is handed in..

Code:

sub EVENT_SPAWN {
  $variable = 0;
}

sub EVENT_SAY {
  if ($variable == 1) {
	if ($text=~/.*/i) {
	  quest::summonitem($text);
	  $variable = 0;
	}
  }
  elsif ($text=~/hail/i) { #all other dialogue
	quest::say("hello");
  }
  elsif ($text=~/something else/i) {
	quest::say("more dialogue");
  }
}

sub EVENT_ITEM {
  if (plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 1001 => 1)) {
	quest::say("blah blah give me an item id number");
	$variable = 1;
  }
  plugin::return_items(\%itemcount);
}

Holy crap. You mean I was right? Damn, I must have accidentally learned something.

Thx Ylosh!

Code:

  sub EVENT_SAY {
    if($text=~/[0-9]+/i) {
  	quest::summonitem($text);
    }
  }

would be more accurate, as quest::summonitem("joe") or quest::summonitem("Hail, Slut"), etx arnt all that meaningful
