Description: Kill the Bats - Repeatable Quest on Timer
Denizen 0.9.3 (build #1417)
Citizens 2 (build #1045)

To assign to an NPC, type:
/npc assign --set "Bat Killer"

This will ask the player to kill a few bats and will reward them for doing so.

It uses the "listen" command to determine whether the player has killed
any bats, but unfortunately doesn't allow control over WHERE the bats have been killed.

The quest repeat timeout constant value controls how often the player can repeat the quest.

Your scripts are awesome, I love all of the included stuff! However, Quest Repeat Timeout needs to be changed to QuestRepeatTimeout, or else it will just keep giving you the reward script. Here's a copy with changes: http://pastebin.com/WkFBYp2n

Sorry, apologies for that! Instead of changing the the name I simply had to add quotes. Thank you
2013-07-30 19:07:57 - hunter_rich:

this looks great but I cant get it to work, the quest begins ok but does not count the bats killed, or zombies as I have changed it to zombies.
2013-07-30 19:14:35 - hunter_rich:

I tried again without changing anything and its still not counting bats killed. Any idea what could be causing this?
2013-08-01 18:50:21 - Kussie:

Having the same issue as the person above sadly. It's not registering when i kill the bats :/
2013-08-18 09:11:26 - mythanical:

Hi guys! Yes, there are currently issues with Listeners in Denizen. The devs know about it, just need some time to fix it up. I have logged a job for item (craft) listeners not working, but there are about 3 other listener types that aren't working either. https://github.com/aufdemrand/Denizen/issues/325
2013-09-10 11:20:21 - mythanical:

Kill listeners should now be working again! Please let me know if there are still any problems.
2013-12-17 10:00:06 - cubebix9000:

because im using 2 listeners im tring to create a quest stage check that check for 2 flags in one line but i cant seem to get it to work am i doing somwthing wrong? "slayer quest stage check": type: task script: - if "" == "none" runtask "script:slayer class 1" else if "" == "stage1" chat "oh, , you have not completed your tasks yet." else if "" == "stage2" chat "oh, , you have killed the requierd amount of zombies but you still need to collect flesh." else if "" == "stage3" chat "oh, , you have collected the amount of flesh needed but you still need to kill the zombies." else if "" == "stage2" && "" == "stage3" run "script:slayer stage three complete" else if "" == "stagefinal" runtask "script:slayer stage final complete" else runtask "script:slayer class 1"

whoops seems the tags did not paste in my bad here is a paste bin http://pastebin.com/481GrsMp
2014-02-10 00:29:10 - djbeauchamp:

I'm not sure but I think the listeners are not working again? Here's my tweaked version of the script (modded for zombies) if anyone wants to look over my changes... http://pastebin.com/M26rFFc6
2014-02-18 16:16:04 - djbeauchamp:

Found the listener actually is working after reviewing the server logs My question now is, how do I modify the script so that the player receives feedback as they kill their target?
2014-06-10 23:01:20 - thor54:

this is the script of yours im canablizing for my privet 5 player server the bat killer kill quest in trying to change reward type to give the player 400xp any idea what that command line would be? changed qty of bats to 10 changed all chat lines from npc to a more interesting story about vampire bat killing her family... anyway im trying to give the player 400 XP but cant figure out the command line to do that any help would be greatly appreciated.
