How do you use the the OR operator in triggers
|
Hi, I loved zMUD thought I would like cMUD and it is starting to be a massive hassle. Before I could just
| Code: |
| #TRIGGER{*match1*|*match2*|*match3*} {do what I want} |
I tried
| Code: |
| #TRIGGER{*match1*||*match2*||*match3*} {do what I want} |
and that doesn't work. Is there no way to do this in cMUD? There an easier way to highlight the text when someone says something (says, asks, ect)?

You need to do #TRIGGER {{*match1*|*match2*|*match3*}}, not #TRIGGER {*match1*|*match2*|*match3*}
Note the doubling of the brackets. {} within a trigger pattern means a group of things to check for. You might be better off, though, putting what you want to match into a variable, then doing #TRIGGER {{@@variable}} so it doesn't get so messy.

For starters, you do not need the * in your trigger pattern. The pattern will match if the words you're searching for appear anywhere in the line anyway. Secondly, to match an item in a string list, you need to put that string list inside curly brackets. Hence your trigger would look like:
#TRIGGER {{match1|match2|match3}} {do what I want} |
