I'm looking to make a color trigger off the color white, with random text.
I tried pasting a sample of white text in, then deleting the text, and checking the ansi trig box, and trigger on line color, but it's not capturing correctly.
Any help would be great.

Check the ANSI box first, then paste the text. Then change the text part (not the colour code part) to the * wildcard.

You could also use the line colour option if the whole line is that colour.

Hmm, it's still not working. Here's what I have right now.
ANSI box is checked, and i tried it with the line colour option as well.

Pattern: %e[1;37m(*) (i tried it with a space before (*) and without the ())

Value: playersinroom = 1

everything i've tried leaves @playersinroom = 0. :(
any other suggestions? do i not have the pattern capturing correctly?

thank you,

1 is bold, 37 is white foreground (see this). Is that right?

That's what the chart says, but the text doesn't look bold to me. I tried it without the 1, with a 0(no attributes) and with 22(normal intensity-not bold or faint) but none of those worked either. Usually, the white line will start with a capital letter, but not always.
I am still at a loss. :( Thanks for the help though, Fang.

Why don't you turn on ansi logging and see what the tags are that way?

I'll check that out when I get home from class, thank you Arminas

If you look on the zMUD colour options, bold means the brighter version of each colour. Most MUDs do use the bold colours rather than the duller ones.

Ok, it is bold, so the correct code is %e[1;37m So I should just end with (*) to capture anything? Or do I not even need it if it's set to Ansi trigger? Does %e[1;37m go in the pattern line, or does it go somewhere else and (*) just goes in the pattern line, then the trigger checks the color on it on whether or not to fire? Thanks again,

ps. The whole line is that color, how would it work with the line color option checked? (referring to Fang's 1st reply)

The trigger pattern should read "%e[1;37m(*)" - or, on the options page of the trigger you can check the "line colour" option and if you click on the box next to it, choose a colour. Then the pattern will just be (*).

This worked for me. I couldn't get the trigger on line color to work though.
I didn't use the (*) because I didn't see you using the captured results anywhere.

That worked just great, Arminas. Thank you guys for all the help!
