I have updated the collector spawn script PaulaMarx.lua in queens colony in the webeditor, so that collections may be turned in for there rewards there
via the webeditor once eq2emulator server respawns, i will test it on that server


i will be updating more collector NPC's as i see them

are there a spawn scripts you can apply to specific NPC's ie apply to all collectors, or apply to all mendors, or do thaey all have to be done individually

Well you can share a spawn script with many spawns. There is a general folder or something of the like, there you will find plenty of scripts shared between spawns.

ok that would probably work with all the collectors except the one in queens colony then, since that one actually uses his spawn script to make it look like she is collection shinies and wandering around, all the other i know about just stand there

But that script was already there, the one where she collects. In fact the majority of the zone is already scripted.

yes she was there collecting, but she was not written to turn in collections i had to add more conversations to look like live and also check if player has collections to turn in, and add the part that actually turned in the collection

on a another note about the collector, how can i turn on the quest completion book above her head

i figure it what be in spawn script as well

i would check if player has collections to turn in and if they do the book would show up if they dont then the book would not show up,
not sure of the timing on that but it would need to check oftenso for instance if i am near the collector already and i am adding collection items and complete the collection then i would want the book to show up soon after i completed the collection

I would think that would be in the Quest script. You mean for a quest completion?

its the quest completion book, but on live the book shows above head of the collector when you have a collection completed and its ready to turn in, so in it is not technically a quest completion turn in

I was kind of thinking you were going to say that. Maybe Jabantiz knows, I am not sure this has been implemented.

For the spawn scripts you can make one generic script to handle all the collection related stuff and then include it in the actual spawns script so you don't have to repeat the collection stuff for all the collectors the are slightly different and this will also keep it in one place.

For the quest complete icon above the head I am not sure, I thought there was a way to flag a spawn as a collector so that would happen but I am not seeing it so it might have been something planned to be added but never made it in.
