Change Text in a Quest item(a book) YurOTS 7.6 engine

[kingkashez]

So basically I'm doing a quest where you click the body and you get the book so far so good,. I want to know how I can change the readable portion to give clues about the continuing the quest . . I know this is an ancient xml engine but any support is appreciated

Found this..

So presumably when you create the item, you could also set it's text?

local book = doPlayerAddItem(cid, book_itemid, 1)
doSetItemText(book, "text")

Xikini Thanks for your help! ill keep working till it works.​

I tried it but i couldn't get it to work. I think it might have something to do with the book Im using
doPlayerAddItem(cid,prize,1)
doSetItemText(book, "Tell My wife Alice I love her.")

simple quests based on uniqueId

function onUse(cid, item, frompos, item2, topos)
prize = 1966

if prize > 1000 and prize < 5000 then
queststatus = getPlayerStorageValue(cid,prize)

if queststatus == -1 then
doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid,22,'You have found a ' .. getItemName(prize) .. '.')
doPlayerAddItem(cid,prize,1)

doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid,22,"His pockets are empty.")
end

return 1
