In zMUD you could use * as a wildcard for as much text within limits, how do I use it in cMUD...

Example..

#trigger {^The Powers accept your sacrifice of the *} {#t+ temp}

This is supposed to turn the temp class back on after sacrafcing the corpse of the mobile you killed. Any help would be thankful!

the wildcard is really unneccary here, at there is no further text after for it to catch

#TR {^The Powers accept your sacrifice of} {#T+ temp}

I see no reason why yours wouldnt work either though... what is the problem?

Because ther IS text after that. I wouldn't post some stupid question if there wasn't text after it.

My point is... ending in a wildcard is unneccary.. according to the trigger you posted there is nothing after the wildcard, which makes the wildcard redundant.

You still have yet to say what is wrong however.

#T+ and #T- work fine for me.

hykou - We're here to help, but we can't see your monitor. Please explain what happens when you try your example trigger. What behavior is different than what you'd expect? I think we can tell what you'd like to have it do.

shalimar - I believe hykou is asking specifically about the wildcard. He provided an example for illustration, but he may not care about that particular trigger only. #T+ and #T- don't seem to be what he's asking about. I don't have CMUD installed right now, or I'd try to address his issue. Are you able to use the '*' wildcard successfully in situations where there might be redundant text after the part you'd like to capture?

I know how to work the #t- and #t+. Thats not the question, read the title of the fourm.

#trigger {^The Powers accept your sacrifice of the *} {#t+ temp}

That's exactly how you use it in CMud, though like Shalimar said the * is unnecessary as it will match anything all the way to the newline (well, assuming there are no special characters before then) AND you are not doing anything with the matched text specifically.

If the absence of the wildcard still doesn't produce any result, you are simply suffering a logical problem OR are suffering from the lingering effects of corruption or bugfix (neither of which would really apply if this is a new settings file created in 1.24). For instance, are the trigger options set correctly? If it's set to trigger on prompt it probably isn't going to fire, and if neither trigger on prompt nor trigger on newline is checked it's never going to fire at all. The same thing if the trigger is in a class that is disabled.

And it could also be that triggers themselves are turned off. People have made that mistake before.

They are on and still no response. I realize that with a new program comes bugs, or maybe it is my computer. Just tell me if my syntax and usage is correct or not. Jesus christ.

Gday hykou,

Your syntax is correct but personally I'm finding a lot of trouble with ^ triggers in Cmud
try removing it and make sure case switch is off. If it fires then at least you've got something to work with.
class folder toggle seems to be working fine here.

Just to throw in something that may help (or may not)-

Did you copy the text from your MUD input or type it manually? If you typed it in, you may be missing the trigger because the person who programmed the message put in an extra space or a tab somewhere in the sentence.

It was tested from the Mud ^ is used so others cant mess with my scripts using tells, or shouts.

I have problems with "^" in my scripts, in cmud i use the "Trigger in Newline" param.

For the *, it doesn't function for me in the next trigger:

(%w) @no_obj_plural1{,| }*estan aqui.

Any idea?

Thanks and sorry for my english

Variables should be enclosed in brackets, its good for catching whole arrays that way.

#TR {(%w) {@no_obj_plural1}{,|} *estan aqui.} {stuff}
