I've added several toggle buttons for spells to the toolbar that I want to change to an untoggled state when the spell wears off. So, for the spell strength when the message You feel weaker is shown, I want the button to return to the unpressed state. I put the id of the button as bstrength, and then used a trigger for the message and had it #SET bstrength 1. I also tried but that didn't work. Is there a way to change the state of a toggle button with a trigger?

I think what you want is the #BUTTON command, check it out. The command #SET is for state triggers, a whole different game.

Assuming you store the button's state in a variable, you can change the button's state by changing the variable from 0 (off) to 1 (on) or vice-versa. You could also assign and use the "value-expression" to toggle it if I understand the helpfile correctly.

There is no #SET command (in 6.16) but there is a #SETPROMPT command. It has nothing to do with buttons though, other than possibly altering the variables/expressions controlling them.

Lightbulb is very right about the variable. The thing to note with this tactic is that it will automatically preform the buttons script when the variable is changed. This might be a bad thing depending on your mud and other triggers. If you wish to go this route you can set the variable for such buttons on the advanced tab of the button in the settings editor.

Personally I use push buttons with a caption such as:
Strength: %if(@AmStrengthed,On,Off)
That allows the buttons displayed name to update but the commands never change. In the case of the example you gave I don't really think your mud has a command to let you expire your strength spell and a toggle button isn't really what you would want.

i think that we basically have the same spell ups so the above might work for you.

when the spellup class is active it catches the spell up/spell down phrase and changes vars
accordingly, you can turn it off by presing ctrl+] (when your just lazing around and not
doing anything and dont want to waste your mana by the auto casting when a spell wears off.

the affected class is used to do a spell wipe, specially if you got disconnected. its to refresh
the buttons to reflect the current spell ups you want. the ctrl+[ is bugged since it waits for
a blank line and it can get triggered if anything arrives (like chat, ooc, auction) but at least
you only press it once :) just press it again.

some buttons have no commands like pray because it makes you unconscious, the others are invokes
and you might not be carrying it at the moment, so its just a place holder, the buttons with commands
contains the spells you can cast, it only get depressed when it is successfully casted, so you
can loose concentration all the time and it wont matter, just press till it succeeds.

the auto casting of spells because of changed vars is a hassle but does not affect the buttons
since the triggers set them up. so when your fighting and one spells wear off all you get is
the you cant concentrate enough msg. otherwise the button is still registering correctly.

This is my trigger.

Pattern: The tower of mortal will around you fades.
Value: #BU IDtower

This basically toggles my "Tower of Strength" button to its "Off" state.
