Forum :: EO Server Building :: My Quest Hates me D:

This is an old quest I wrote for my server a while ago. I recently decided to rewrite a few pieces and use it in another project I am working on. The problem is it will not for the life of me work... it gets stuck in the "Begin State" and will not display the npc chat or move to any other state. It shows up in my quest history and says n/a at the end. I know it is getting stuck in the "Begin State" because of my desc. in that state. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit - The actual script is a bit cleaner. This post jumbled it a bit. I also fixed every error that showed up in the Eoserv Error Log, so there are no problems there

Quest ID referenced can't be higher than 253 (I think). Set the NPC's quest ID to something lower and change the ID in the quest to match. 

It's been a while since I quested so I don't remember exactly but I thought the action  AddNpcText(264 referenced the npc you click on, not the quest id. If npc 264 has a quest script 1 and the quest it is calling is 00001.eqf it should work shouldn't it? Or are you just saying your can only give quests to npcs who's number is lower than 253?

the npc txt is the script ID, and in the pub file you give the npc the quest script number. so if

{

action  AddNpcText(2, "Hello young lad, Could I interest You in some chocolate?");

the 2 is the quest script number itself.

you dont use the actual NpcID its the ID of the quest script you assigned to the npc in the pub file.
