Oh hell, this could open up some things for me.....damn I am in the middle of doing spells too.

Love this!

I could not figure out what the issue was getting this working, we might need to think about removing the hailed event.

we might need to think about removing the hailed event.

Not going to happen for the official emu server. All you need to do is target the mob and /say something, hailed is on a different channel then /say so if you wanted to run up and hit h this won't work.

Can we not just hard code button h to mean /say hail?

Yeah after doing some testing I see that, hail is rather hard coded. But if you do /say hail it works fine.

This is client side so out of our control.

resolved, thanks though!

Jabantiz did something great here. It is the small things that can make a huge difference. You made my quest 100 times simpler and more fitted for my server. I figured out how to get rid of the hail event and remap it, it was super simple. The bigger thing you did though was make my life easier. I cannot stand the design of the quest system as it was, sorry but I did not like it. Too many places to have things, the database, lua, etc. Then having a quest lua and your spawn script lua, too much for me to make one quest. So I introduce EQEmu style questing, brought to you buy Jabantiz's changes...

Of course, there is a return trip and such to finish the one I pasted, and formatting does not convert over well, looks perfect in Notepad++ on my screen. You get the idea
