Can there be more than one item turn-in per EVENT_ITEM?

[Neiv]

Some background to the quest:

A player finds an item and turns it into the ruler of one of four realms. Once he turns in the item, the npcid.pl belonging to the ruler rewards the player with full citizenship (faction), lots of plat, and enough exp to gain a full level at 32. Player is then given a note and instructed to travel to the fortress of the realm that is closest to the fortress of the enemy (opposing faction). That all occurs seamlessly in a different quest script.

(Concerning the script in question) Upon arrival, player hands in note (itemID 12854) to the Captain of the guard, and the turn-in rewards the player and spawns reinforcement guards along the wall and at the gate (preparing it for defense against the coming battle). The Captain of the Guard gives the player a different note (itemID 12855) and instructs the player to go and find the banished Commander to ask for help. Player turns in that note to the banished commander and is given a different note (itemID 12856) by BC to take back to the CotG. Upon receiving the note, the CotG spawns a second set of reinforcement guards, the king himself (who will eventually take refuge in the Keep), and announces to the server the impending NPC war that will follow (shout2). Here is the script for that:

I have commented out the second check_hasitem function because the quest breaks with it there. Is it not possible to have more than one item turn-in per quest EVENT; or am I just writing this script incorrectly? I need the npc to accept the first note (12854), give a second note (12855), and accept the third note (12866) for this quest to support the story line.

I should mention also that the second turn-in (elsif(plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount,12856 => 1)) actually rewards the player with cash, but does not do the rest of the quest:: commands (shout, say, spawn). Can't figure out why.

On a separate note, I would then like to set a timer that will (1) turn the sky red, then (2) make it rain, then (3) spawn the enemy npcs at the far zoneline, then (4) have all enemy npcs begin a march toward the fortress, (5) stop just short of aggro range of the fortress and wait, (6) then walk to the wall where they engage the first realm forces (both npcs and any players that show up for the battle). I have an idea about how to make all this work, but am not that far along yet in its development. If and when the enemy forces overwhelm the realm's forces, the players on the enemy side can find the king, hand in a drop from one of the key mobs they killed, and get the Item for themselves to give to the ruler of their own realm.

[ChaosSlayer]

yes you can have multyple items turns in single event. just make sure to get all the parentesis, semicolomns, etc right.
here is a workign exmaple you may want to check against.

sub EVENT_ITEM 
{

	if(plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 5056 => 4))
	{
	quest::say("Here are you coins as promised. Good work!
	One more thing, I belive I have spoted a large nasty rat outside of city gates!
	I belive the rat was infected with some sort of disease. This could be bad.
	If that rat passes the disease to the rest of the rodents, we up for realy big troubles!
	I tried to sent Lucy after it, but the rat managed to hid somewhere. If you see that big rat - slay it 
	wihout hesitation. Collect sample of its blood, so I can study it and what kind of disease it was
	carrying.");

	quest::faction(11,5);
	quest::faction(13,5);
	quest::faction(18,-10);

	quest::exp("1000"); 
	
	my $a = int(rand(5)+2);
	quest::givecash(0,$a,0,0);
	}

	if(plugin::check_handin(\%itemcount, 5057 => 4))
	{
	quest::say("Oh dear! What a smell! Where did you found those? In the sewer? Oh...
	Well, its better to have few less of those, than a few more I guess! Here, take these coins for your work!");

	quest::faction(11,5);
	quest::faction(13,5);
	quest::faction(18,-10);

	quest::exp("2500"); 

	my $a = int(rand(5)+2);
	quest::givecash(0,0,$a,0);
	}

}

So then, the second hand-in is an "if" and not an "elsif"?

well, I think I solved my own problem. I had "elseif" instead of "elsif." I changed the spelling and the quest now works.
