Hi All!!,

There is some great information here and I have to thank GM Ocean for their awesome beginner guides. Alas, I am stuck. I've been working on a script based on rachel sanc + some of the newbie trade guides to collect a set amount of coins, save the number, and once the number is reached, it'll increase the rates of the server. If I reset the npc, it'll work just fine but when I reset the server, it'll remember the last number saved but won't continue to update.

// Script is supposed to take an instance item from player.
// Once a set number of that instance item is accumulated
// Rates will increase temporarily 
//
//= - Variable in use: have_donated_g (0 no/1 yes)
//= - Variable in use: $rate_donate (max 10000)

if (have_donated_g == 0) {
	mes .@npc_name$;
	mes "Give me";
	while ( .@i < getarraysize(.required_items)) {

			mes "Stingy!";
			break;
	}
close2;
end;
}

		next;
		}
				
		if ($rate_donate > 9999) {
			mes .@npc_name$;
			mes "Thanks so much for";
			mes "your donation!";
			return;
		}
		else {
			.@remaining = 10000-$rate_donate;
			mes .@npc_name$;
			mes "Thank you so much!";
			mes "we need "+.@remaining+" more donations!";
			next;
			mes .@npc_name$;
			mes "Come back and donate more!";
			return;
		}
	}
	else {
		mes .@npc_name$;
		mes "You don't have all the required items.";
		return;
	}
close2;
end;

OnInit:
	setarray .required_items[0], Ancient_Gold_Coin;
	setarray .required_amount[0], 1;
	end;
}

Any help is appreciated

p.s. I already have the rate increase coded but I want to get the counter working before putting them together.

**edit**

Turns out it works, I was just not shutting down the server correctly so nothing was saving /swt
