Yeah, but sadly that script is for specific players. But after looking at your script, it gave me an idea. This would work as long as $name can't be used for an npc name. I wonder if this would work and thus would allow the words like bend work in my script.
Code:
sub EVENT_SAY {
if($text =~ /hail/i && $name =~ $name) {
quest::say("I'm a stupid NPC");
It's it is doing is hail and then checking name to equal name. Well, the only way to know if this word work is a stronger understanding of the code which I lack. So yeah, I definitely have a lot more questions including the one I forgot earilier. So here they go.
1. Can $name =~ $name be used to check to make sure it's a player name and not an npc name?
2. What does ~ tell the script to do?
3. What does /i tell the script to do?
4. When you update a script, will the new script work right away without doing anything to the server? Or do you have to #repop, restart the zone, or do you always have to restart the server?
5. When you add a new npc to the database, to have him spawn, do you have to #repop, restart the zone, or do you always have to restart the server?
6. When you change specific values in a table regarding a specific npc, again, when do the changes take affect?
Well there they are, I'm asking those last three b/c it's a real pain in the butt to restart my server. I could always just figure them out on my own through trial and error. However, if someone knows that would be great, in addition, I'm a bit weary of such trial and error as the last time I did that, I somehow screwed up my server and caused my zone.exe to crash everytime someone connected. And to this day, i have no idea what I did.
