Why is this not working, im tryingto get  a letter at he beginning of the game only.

i get the letter but when i open it nothing happens

quest start begin
	state start begin
		when login begin
		if pc.getqf("starter1") == 0 then
			pc.setqf("starter1",1)
			send_letter_ex("Hello", "ex,blink", "scroll_open.tga")
			set_state( starter )
		else
			return
		end
		end
	end
		state starter begin
				when button or info begin
say("blabla")
				end
			end
end

You don't need to set a new state to read the letter...

Bad quest name, bad indentation, bad idea to block letter send.

 

quest change_quest_name begin
    state start begin
        when login with pc.getqf("starter1") == 0 begin
            send_letter_ex("Hello", "ex,blink", "scroll_open.tga")
            ---IF DOESN'T WORK USE    send_letter("Hello")
        end

        when button or info begin
            pc.setqf("starter1", 1) --BETTER TO BLOCK WHEN THEY READ
            say("blabla")
        end
    end
end

Thanks for the quick reply! For some reason still the message doesnt pop up. The letter does come but when i click the letter the message doesnt pop up. Do you maybe know the reason why? No error while installing the quest

 

+edit Also the i am receiving the letter everytime i relog.

send_letter_ex bug

If you use send_letter() works?

Nope, still the same. I tried but im suing send_letter_ex for every other quest i have and it works fine

Anyone?

Check your syserrs, or use debug mode so an error pops up ingame, that way you know the reason, if you still can't fix it post the error and i'll help you.
