How to make a quest which gives any item to the player?

[HisaoShou 3]

I want to make a quest which gives the player any item they want by input.

But I have an issue...

the "vnum" from give_item2 does not work with my local input variable.

The quest I have tried to make looks like this:

quest giveItm begin 
	state start begin 
		when login begin 
			say("test")  
			local itm = input()
			pc.give_item2(itm, 1)
			say("test2")
		end 
	end 
end

quest giveItem begin 
	state start begin 
		when login begin 
			say("test")  
			local vnum = tonumber(input());
			if (vnum == nil or vnum == 0) then
				return say_reward("Invalid input.[ENTER]");

			elseif (mysql_direct_query(string.format("SELECT vnum FROM player.item_proto WHERE vnum = '%d';", vnum)) == 0) then
				return say_reward(string.format("The item %d doesn't exist in the database.[ENTER]", vnum))
			end -- if/elseif
			
			pc.give_item2(vnum, 1);
			say(string.format("The item %d (%s) has been received.", vnum, item_name(vnum)))
			say_item_vnum(vnum);
		end -- when
	end -- state
end -- quest

I get this on compile:

Calls undeclared function! :
mysql_direct_query
Abort (core dumped)

We are almost in 2018 man, don't you know you have to add that to the quest_functions file first?

Uhm, i did. But the quest does nothing in game. After I put the item number, nothing happens afterwards

Apparently, you don't have the mysql_direct_query functions on your server, sigh.

Just remove it from the quest.

Yes, this still does not work:

quest giveItem begin 
	state start begin 
		when login begin 
			say("test")  
			local vnum = tonumber(input());
			if (vnum == nil or vnum == 0) then
				return say_reward("Invalid input.[ENTER]");
			end -- if/elseif
			
			pc.give_item2(vnum, 1);
			say(string.format("The item %d (%s) has been received.", vnum, item_name(vnum)))
			say_item_vnum(vnum);
		end -- when
	end -- state
end -- quest

fix your server ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, unless you are using a wrong vnum that's impossible.

Bruh, don't you have an workaround or something? (;￢＿￢)

I have no idea how this would be a server issue

The question is, why?

Why would you do that on a quest?

Just change the command /item (do_item) command from GameMaster into player and done, player will be able to do for example:

/i 19 or /item 19

to get a sword+9.

 

And if you dont want players to have to know the items id, change the item function and have it read names from the proto, then gettin corresponding vnum and voilá.

[PACI 911]

you can't use any kind of quest function that sends the player into a suspended state (e.g: wait(), input(), select()) with a login statement.
if you want to use it that way, add a quick timer, and then do the stuff.
