That should fix it based on what I saw.
t was merely an indentation error because you didn't keep the if() procs under the switch() proc.

mob
    Luke_Sky_Walker
        icon = 'male.dmi'
        verb
            Talk()
                set src in oview(1)
                switch(alert("Would you like to do a quest for me?","Quests","Yes","No"))
                    if ("Yes")
                        usr.asked1 = 1
                        alert("Thanks, go and find my light laber. I last saw it in a tusken raider came to the east of here")
                    if ("No")

I don't really see anything wrong with it, but you might want to include a way for you to give it to him if you have it....I can't think of a way right now, anybody else know?

                    if (usr.asked1 = 1)

Remember the () I'm pretty sure DM requires them.

Somehow, I didn't catch that, but there was still an error. Your supposed to use == in an if statement like that, because = is used ot set a variable.
#6 Jun 6 2005, 3:56 pm
Use if(var) instead of if(var==1) & if(!var) instead of if(var==0)

I answered that in the post above...>_>
                    if (usr.asked1 == 1)
                        alert("Were is it?")

in an if() proc, you use ==, because = is used to set a variable.

Try this:

        icon = 'male.dmi'
        verb
            Talk()
                set src in oview(1)

                set src in oview(1)
                if (usr.asked1 == 1)//I moved the if() proc to here
                    alert("Were is it?")
                else
                    switch(alert("Would you like to do a quest for me?","Quests","Yes","No"))
                        if ("Yes")
                            usr.asked1 = 1
                            alert("Thanks, go and find my light laber. I last saw it in a tusken raider came to the east of here")
                        if ("No")
                            alert("Well thanks anyways")
                        if (usr.asked1 == 1)
                            alert("Were is it?")
//I moved the if() proc.
                        
    
        
mob/var
    asked1 = 0
    lightsab = 0
    quest1done = 0

If that doesn't work, I don't know.

Once again, you have to have a ==, not an =
