Okay I don't get it…

[dragonlord52]

Can some tell me why this simple little code isn't working? If I take the Type out of the () part of the sub it works fine but when I insert it back in it doesn't work and i can't figure out why. I have reload the scripts, restarted the server, double checked the very small amount of work I have done (I like to make sure things are working step by step, not one gaint step at a time) and for some reason it wont display the message. If someone could explain this to me it would make my day.

> '\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ QUEST SCRIPT /////////////////////////////////
> Sub QuestScript(Index, Type)
> Call PlayerMsg(Index, "rawr", 14)
> End Sub
> '//////////////// END QUEST SCRIPT \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Here is the call command I'm using

> ' Executes whenever a scripted NPC does an action.
> Sub ScriptedNPC(Index, Script)
> Select Case Script
> Case 0
> Call QuestScript(Index, 0)
> Exit Sub
>
> Case 1
> Call QuestScript(Index, 1)
> Exit Sub
>
> Case 2
> Call QuestScript(Index, 2)
> Exit Sub
>
> Case Else
> Call PlayerMsg(Index, "No NPC script found. Please contact an admin to solve this problem.", WHITE)
> Exit Sub
> End Select
> End Sub

Thanks for helping!

yea i think you need to leave out "Type" and you need to
Call PlayerMsg with the correct case # you want it to be in not in the sub you shouldn't need a sub if you're making a simple quest script… youre using EE 2.7 right?

I'm going to need "Type" in there for later so I can't just take it out.

What do you mean call PlayerMsg with the proper case #?

I am using EE 2.7

When this script is done it will be able to make 1 of 3 different .ini files depending on the "Type" you input and that is why I'm making a sub for it.

No that should work, try putting the number for type in ""'s…example, Call QuestScript(Index, "2")

did you want it to say "rawr" when you activate Quest index 0,1,2 etc? if so im pretty sure you want it to look like this

Case 0
        Call QuestScript(Index, 0)
        Call PlayerMsg (index,"rawr" 14)
        Exit Sub

if not sorry i keep wasting your time lol

@Nubbs, not thats not what he wants.

I'm not sure why this doesn't work. I'll keep looking through it for the next 5 min.

EDIT:

Try replacing the word "Type" with something else. Like car, or whatever.

I don't really see any issues with the code.

The Call PlayerMsg(Rawr) stuff is there to show him that it works BEFORE he works anymore on his new Sub, I do the exact same thing AND the exact same playermsg XD

Alright I changed "Type" to "Dude" and now it works fine. Not sure why that would be, lol.

Thanks for the help!

Type is a reserved/ keyword in vb6 though.

Yeah, np

Rage explained why you had an issue, I just didn't feel like typing it out at the time.

I see, I'll have to keep that in mind
