Hi There!

I'm trying to store a command that changes based on some things, and I've been trying to use the #send command to send that to the MUD. I keep receiving the following error: ERROR: Trigger "insert specific wording to my trigger and MUD" fired but did not compile

I've got a variable, lets call it:
sendContents

The variable contains:
MUD command

What my trigger contains, but doesn't work:
#send sendContents

I've also tried:
#send "@sendContents"

And:
#send @sendContents

Works without using a trigger:
alias = toSendContents
alias contains = #send @sendContents

So I put the alias in the trigger, but that didn't work. So then I tired:
#send %expand(sendContents)

In short, I've tired a lot but I just can't seem to understand why the alias is making it work but the trigger wouldn't. Any thoughts?

I got this working. I used #execute {@sendContents}.

I have had similar issues from trying to call an alias from evaluating a variable.
The results are treated as a literal string unless you #EXEC them first.

I am uncertain of why this would have been the case for a game side command though, those don't require client-side parsing.

Oddly enough, now #send @sendContents is working.
