I'm pretty new to triggers, so forgive me if this is listed somewhere else.

Is there an easy way to turn a trigger OFF based on what someone says in the room?

Ie : Zugg tells you 'Autogold OFF'

And you turn off the Autogold trigger ?

thanks,

Sure...

Try this..

If you're using Tech's example, though, you might want to add the ^ back onto the start to stop someone malicious doing

say Zugg tells you 'AutoGold off'

Just having the $ at the end might not be sufficient protection. If you're multiplaying between two characters of your own, or if the person you're giving access to is a friend, you might want to store a long (10 hex digits or so) string in a variable and add that to the trigger:

#TRIGGER {(*) tells you 'AutoGold ({ON|OFF}) @TriggerKey'} {#IF (%2 == 'OFF') {#T- AutoGold}}

and then update the code every so often, only giving it to that friend through IMs or something.

Thanks. Since I'm just a simple trigger guy, I ended up making two triggers :

#TRIGGER {Friend tells you 'AutoGold OFF'}{#T- AutoGold}

#TRIGGER {Friend tells you 'AutoGold ON'}{#T+ AutoGold}

Since there was only one person who I wanted to be able to turn it on, and off, this seemed to work fine.

I tried Tech's first example, but it didn't work for me, so I just made it simpler (above) until it works fine now.

thanks so much! You guys ROCK!

You need to be VERY careful using triggers like that one, though. Without anchoring the pattern either at the start or the end with ^ or $, it's possible, like I said in my previous post, for someone to do

say Friend tells you 'Autogold OFF'

and set off your trigger.
