Hey everybody, this is a HARD ONE (well for me it is) I can't seem to find any info on making a special NPC.

the NPC will Collect a certain item, from any player, and after the NPC gets a count of 500 of the items it will Unlock a doorway permanantly.

Kinda like Euro when they did the pumpkin event with OKS.
The NPC had to collect a total of 500 Pumpkins after that it set the Doorway to oks to open to people. The Items were NOT stackables and anybody could contribute to the opening of the doorway.

Any clues how this is set up guys? I'm lost here when searching the forums.

Can be done using Global Variables.

Envir->Market_def->CaveNPC:
Code: 
[@main]
#IF
CheckVar Global ItemCount > 499
#SAY
Congratulations you have unlocked the cave! \ \
<Move to cave/@move>
BREAK
#ELSESAY
Give me the items! \ \
<Give item/@check> || <Exit/@exit>

[@check]
#IF
Checkitem <item> 1
#ACT
GOTO @give
BREAK
#ELSESAY
You do not have the item. \ \
<Exit/@exit>

[@give]
#IF
CheckVar Global ItemCount > 498
#ACT
CalcVar Global ItemCount + 1
SaveVar Global ItemCount ../QuestDiary/Variables/Integral.txt
TAKE <Item> 1
#SAY
Congratulations you have unlocked the cave! \ \
<Move to cave/@move>
#ELSEACT
TAKE <Item> 1
CalcVar Global ItemCount + 1
SaveVar Global ItemCount ../QuestDiary/Variables/Integral.txt
#ELSESAY
Thanks! \
The server has curently collected <$Global(ItemCount)>/500 items. \ \
<Exit/@exit>

[@move]
#ACT
mapmove <mapname> <x> <y>
give townteleport 1
BREAK

Envir->MapQuest_def->QManage.txt:
Code: 
[@login]
#IF
#ACT
Var Integer Global ItemCount 0
LoadVar Global ItemCount ../QuestDiary/Variables/Integral.txt

Knocked that up in 2mins so sorry if theres any bugs, but should give you a rough idea.

I'm sure this might be possible, I remember Massacre server doing something similar for one of their events - although they were using the 1.9 files. :)

Also I put the Script to collect only 50 items from me as a test instead of 500.

Have you got your Variable folder setup? Go to Envir/QuestDiary/ and see if theres a folder there called "Variables". If there isn't create one and then create a txt file inside called "Integral.txt".

EDIT: Just tested it on my server and it works fine.

I had those errors after I've created the Variables Folder and inside that folder I created the Integral.txt file

Is there anything Else you can think of?
Do I have to put anything inside the integral file?
maybe Pumpkin 0 or something??

Yea there are quite a few NPC commands that make them very versitile. Take a look at my NPC thread for some more ideas: Link

Only other thing i can think of is that you haven't setup you QManage file correctly. Make sure you don't have two [@Login]'s or somthing.

Other than that i can't help i'm afraid, as i said it pasted straight in and worked first time on mine. :(
