Can someone please explain to me in plain English and by exact example and where (accounts?) to make 2 differant server entries.

1) Item that can used only once per day.
ie: whatever the place visited once per day.

2) Item that can be used more than once but with a number limit.
ie: quests

I know an entry for the user and newday also need to be made and is not a problem.

Thank you very much.

Thank you lonny,
sorry but understanding techtalk about this area is not our strongest point - we can make the entires but they need to be spelled out in plain english.

Question:  the "length 2 or more" you refer to, does that set the total amount of uses?  
ie:  quests = 5     so the server entry would be:
quests int  5  no null default value 0
AND IF
ie:  searches = 20   so the server entry would be:
searches int  20  no null default value 0

Is this correct?

Robert, I might be able to save you some time as well. DID you install the "Special Vars" mod into your server?
