Function - Checking faction name ?

KhaN · #1 04-13-2004, 10:51 PM

Im starting to write quests (Thx smogo for all your tutorials btw), I was wondering if a function exist or a way to do PERL quest that will check value of player faction.
Example : "Faction is ally, NPC will speak with him" ?

There's the $faction variable, it returns a number corresponding to the current faction level. See the sticky on Perl Quest guide at the top.

Ah yes, thanks Monrezz like always.
Look like i have skipped the identifier part.

It is mainly used for if statements, so you can check the player has a high enough faction before the quest continues:

Code:

sub EVENT_SAY
{
  if(($text =~ /Hail/i) &amp;&amp; ($faction >= 3))
    {
      quest::say("Do you think I ave time to talk to people like you?.");
    }

  elsif(($text =~ /Hail/i) &amp;&amp; ($faction &lt; 3))
    {
      quest::say("Greetings, $name.");
    }
}
