Get quest status by ID - getQuestStatus(..) - not working?

[pumbatoo]

When using the getQuestStatus with the ID of the quest (line 2), the return value is "not accepted". Although the quest is accepted and complete (not "closed").

Code: Select all

1: RoMScript("CheckQuest(420174)");
2: getQuestStatus(420174);
3: getQuestStatus("Aslan Essence");

Line 1 is returning 1 (means: you have accepted the quest but have never completed it); line 3 returns "complete". After completing the quest line 1 returns 2 and the 3th line returns "not accepted". All what I expect, except line 2.

Tried in a waypoint file (in the onLoad area and inside a waypoint)

Looks ok.

It implies a problem with GetIdName(420174) when trying to get the name but it would have shown an error message I think. Maybe try

Code: Select all

print(RoMScript("GetIdName(420174)"))

and see what it prints.

Are you sure you didn't put quotes around the number?

Ok. I think I've found the problem.
Times ago I posted about problems with umlauts in the questname: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=2718

The function getQuestStatus(_questname) in the functions.lua first resolves the id into its name and after, it checks the status of the quest by its name:

Code: Select all

function getQuestStatus(_questname)
	-- Used when you need to make 3 way decision, get quest, complete quest or gather quest items.
	if (bot.IgfAddon == false) then
		error(language[1004], 0)	-- Ingamefunctions addon (igf) is not installed
	end

	if type(_questname) == "number" then
		_questname = GetIdName(_questname)
	end

	if type(_questname) == "string" then
		return RoMScript("igf_questStatus(\"".._questname.."\")")
	end

	error("Invalid id sent to getQuestStatus()")
end

The problem:
GetIdName(_questname) returnes the quest name with hieroglyphs instead of ä, ö ,ü (e.g. the picture below is representing our ä).
Sounds like a problem about encoding/charset.

So GetIdName returns the name with one character set and the in game functions use another?

I don't know about this stuff. I think you need Administrators input.
