There is no #newbie unless you set it.
example script:
prontera,150,150,5<tab>script<tab>name<tab>99,{
if(#newbie != 1 && BaseLevel < 21) {
getitem 512,1;
set #newbie,1;
}
end;
}
the script demonstrates how a person below the level of 20 will receive item 512 (apple I think) if they haven't already talked to the npc, if they attempt to click it a second time nothing will happen
