I'm having troubles with this trigger, for the life of me it's just eluding me. This trigger was created by someone else, but they're no longer around to ask questions. Could anyone help me please?

Cmud Pro 3.10a
Windows 7

when someone tells me something, it looks like this.

Person tells you: Hi, this is a test.

The trigger also matches
You tell Person: Hi, this is a test.
and
You LT (Person)
LT: Hi, this is a test. I am not interested in these.

the trigger pattern looks like this.

^(?:>\s|)(You tell \w+|\w+(?<!YOURPET) tells you|\w+ LTs $.+$|You LT $.+$)\:?(.*)$$(.*)$$

and the trigger is as follows.

:Tells:#SAYPROMPT {%cr%ansi( bold, blue)""%ansi( bold, magenta)"["%1"]: "%ansi( bold, grey)%2}

What I'm trying to do, is make it so that if a specific person tells me something, it's ignored, doesn't get sent to the tells window. I've tried many #if commands, and tried making the variable @yourpet as Noname, but it just doesn't work. Or, what it's done is simply blocked out the name, and given me the body of the tell, without a carrier return.

Please, any suggestions would be appreciated.

First, don't use #SAYPROMPT. In fact, don't use #SAY, #ECHO, or #SHOW. These produce output that triggers can match on, which is obviously not what you were wanting and could also lead to infinite loops. Use #PRINT instead.

Second, unless you are not interested at all in the trigger pattern, it can be helpful to also include examples of the text you want to have the trigger fire on. This can better allow people to point out what you're doing wrong or what can be improved upon.

Third, if you don't want the trigger to match on any LT lines, just remove everything between the | symbols that involves the LT.

Fourth, if you want to incorporate ignore functionality, you will need to change how your pattern grabs the line (currently, %1 is some variation of "You tell someone"):

#trigger {^(%w) {tell|tells} (%w): (*)} {stuff}

From there, you just use an #IF to determine if the person is ignored or not (stuff):

#if (%ismember(%1,@ignored) = 0) {#execwin Tells {#print %concat(%ansi(bold,blue),%1,%ansi(bold,magenta)," [to ",%2,"]:",%ansi(bold,grey),%3)}} {#gagspace}

Sorry, I wasn't entirely clear in my last post. You pretty much nailed what I wanted, except the part where I said "I'm not interested in these" Should of said "I don't need to change any of these"

This is an example of the text I'm trying to completely ignore with this trigger.

Tibban tells you:
You are not fighting anything right now master.

Tibban tells you:
Here are your fifteen most recent kills master

I used your trigger, and created an ignored list, but it's not filtering it.

I tried #var ignored {Tibban}

are all your tells like that? Like, if I found you and randomly told you something it would show on two lines like that? The trigger pattern I put up would only work on one line, and since there's nothing on the line after the colon then it probably wouldn't match.

If all the tell speech is on a separate line than the X tells Y: portion, is it hardwrapped in a multiline format or is it sent in one line so that CMud can do the wrapping? If it is multiline format from the game, what's the line after the last line in the tell?

No, only this specific annoyance is formatted like that, and the LT's. Regular tells are normally single lines (unless of course they're really long tells.)

Ok. Are you wanting to hide Tibban/LT tells or just simply not do anything with them (ie, they're going to stay in your main window and you're not triggering on them for any reason)? If you don't want to do anything with them, then we just need to add in a second state to the trigger to handle the line wrapping:

Wow, I'm not sure what you did, but using that trigger, every line of text that I receive, tries to crash CMud.

hmm, not sure either. Public versus beta bugs issue?

Unsure, but I appreciate the effort. Thank you!
