Hi..
I am trying to get a seperate Clan Talk window opened up on my second monitor...thereby displaying what my clan members are saying and what I am saying to them, inaddition levels, deaths, etc.
I am using triggers like this:

#TRIGGER {~[1~] clan member heard you say} {#CAPTURE Clan} #GAG
#TRIGGER {~[(%d)~] clan members heard you say} {#CAPTURE Clan} #GAG
#TRIGGER {~[CLAN~]} {#CAPTURE Clan} #GAG

However the only thing that appears in the new window when it opens is:

[1] clan member heard you say {#CAPTURE Clan}
[(%d)] clan members heard you say {#CAPTURE Clan}
[CLAN]

and not what the people are actually saying to me or me to them.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

Show us the lines the MUD is sending that you want to capture.

[CLAN] (Whatever the clan member is saying)
[1] Clan Member heard you say, (whatever I say)
[2] Clan members heard you say, (whatever I say)

Other than the #GAG being outside the trigger brackets, I see nothing wrong with the triggers.

The Window opens fine, It is named CLAN as it should be, but no Clan actual text is displayed.
Is there a setting in the triggers I forgot to set?
Shouldn't the entire line after [CLAN] or [1] Clan members heard you say be displayed?

Thanks

I copied the text into Notepad and imported it into zmud...
It creates the two triggers suggested but the same result occurs...
when the window opens up it only shows the trigger text and not what the clan member or myself have typed...
What else am I missing? the trigger works, but I need to be able to see what it is that a member or myself is saying in the second window.

Why would the trigger send the text of the trigger itself to a new window and not the captured text?
it seems to me that the text is not truly being captured? What causes this?

There was an Alias...I deleted it and got the same result still.

When you say (whatever I say), is the information displayed in those parentheses or in quotes or does it have any special formatting used? An example of the exact output could help track this down.

This is the output to the new window I expect to see...

[4] clan members heard you say, '<BIL> - ouch'
[CLAN] Jadess: '<<*SwEeT~N~NeRdY*>> I did lol'

Instead I see...

[4] clan members heard you say,
[CLAN]

and that is all the text displayed on the new window... Hence the actual clan text is missing... Why is ZMUD not capturing the clan text but instead sending the trigger text to the new window?

Thanks

by the way the <BIL> and the <<*SwEeT~N~NeRdY*>> are tags we use on Clan Talk for shifts etc... and are part of the clan text I am expecting to see... or example I have an alias for Clan Talk where I type CTT instead or CT which then initiates my Tag before my text... I am sure you all already know and do similar functions...but just in case
Besides it does not work either way with CT or CTT...

Thanks

It's been a while since I worked with ZMUD, but try adusting your trigger patterns to include the information in the quotes. Adjust the previously suggested triggers like this:

Windows is a funny entity... I uninstalled ZMUD and then Re-installed it, imported all of my alias and triggers etc back into my profile and now everything including the windows for Clan Talk are working fine.
Thanks for all of the support and replies... Not sure why this was an issue and I am sure I will never know now either.

But thanks...
