Turn in 3 items for a class-specific weapon

[Randymarsh9]

Ok, I added the return item thing to see if he would return items, but he doesn't even do that.

sub EVENT_ITEM {

  if (plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 51624 => 1, 1563=> 1, 1568=> 1)) {
    my %rewards = (
"Warrior" => 1569, "Rogue" => 1581, "Monk" => 1579, "Berserker" => 1577, "Shadowknight" => 1577, "Paladin" => 1577, "Ranger" => 1569, "Bard" => 1569, "Beastlord" => 1579, "Cleric" => 1582, "Druid" => 1582, "Shaman" => 1582, "Wizard" => 1581, "Mage" => 1581, "Enchanter" => 1581, "Necromancer" => 1581
    );

    if(defined($rewards{$class})) {
      quest::say("My mind can be at ease knowing those fiends are no more.");
      quest::emote("pulls a gleaming weapon out of a bag.");
      quest::summonitem($rewards{$class});
      quest::say("Take this weapon. I am sure you will be able to make use of it.");
    }
  }
 else {
 	    plugin::return_items(\%itemcount);
    	quest::say("I have no use for this item, $name.  Take it back.");
	}  

}

Did you try running it on the command line to see what you got back?

I don't know where I need to type it in. I did perl Vinius_the_Benevolent in cmd.exe and it said it couldn't find it, but I also ran it for another quest which I know works and said the same thing, so I know i need to change directory, but I don't know to what.

Your quest file should be located in your C:\eqemu\quests\zonename folder, where zonename is the name of the zone your NPC is located in.

Also, there is a plugin folder in the C:\eqemu\quests\ directory that has the plugin files, but those files need to be moved directly to your C:\eqemu\plugins folder. Some older quests don't use the plugins, so maybe that is why you see others as working even if your plugins might not be in the correct place still.

I already did that when I set up my server

[Randymarsh9]

wow, lol. I had the plugins folder inside another plugins folder. I just moved them out and it worked. I don't know how all of my problems are always something so stupid

[trevius]

The best solution to testing what the problem is, is to simplify the quest as much as possible and then add in stuff one by one and test it after each time you update it until you have it completed the way you want to. So, try just running this script and see what happens:

sub EVENT_ITEM {

  if (plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 1568 => 1)) {
      quest::say("I got your turn in.  Here is your reward.");
      quest::summonitem(1001);
  }

}

If that works, then your script itself is just written wrong. If that doesn't work, then you have an issue with plugins or perl.

It is always best to double and then triple check stuff like that!

Thanks for all the help. I learned A LOT more about questing. Maybe in a couple more threads I will actually not be completely talentless.
