Cannot activate Class via TEMP trigger
 
This seems to be a bit of an issue.

Further to the DB ident debacle, I made no provision for a MUD IDENT misfire (Ident what?; You fail, etc), so I decided that the best solution was to fire a temporary trigger from my ID alias. Thus I have

alias LID, which has the following script

lore %1

#TEMP {+----} {#T+ EqIdent}

My EqIdent class has #ECHO "Ident Open" in the activate to let me know if and when it fires.

Imagine my surprise when nothing happened. So, to the trigger commands, I added:

#ECHO "BANG" to see if the temp trigger was firing:

#TEMP {+----} {#ECHO "BANG";#T+ EqIdent}

and, imagine my even greater surprise when I see 'BANG' appear on screen in shiny sky blue text. So the trigger works fine but there seems to be a problem somewhere.

Is there some fundamental setting I am unaware of?

Interestingly enough, when the ID command failed ('You fail'), and I tried the ID again

+----------------------------------etc
BANG
BANG
| Keywords ... etc

Was displayed. How is that possible?

It actually seems that, by not calling the class ( and therefore allowing its activate script to function) from outside a trigger the activate script does not function.

So


ident %1

#T+ EqIdent

will work, but

ident %1
#TEMP {+----} {#T+ EqIdent}

has a problem. The class enables, as all the triggers/scripts under it function correctly. The DEACTIVATE script also fails to work.

Window hangs are commonplace with using the database.

This is sounding more and more like a corruption issue.
My local activate/deactivate scripts are working when a temp issues a #T+/- command.
Try exporting your settings to XML and recreate your session.pkg file.

It was working. Not so sure it is these days.

Maybe it is just that I have been staring at it for too long.

The things that have ceased to work in the last weeks have been running at one point or another so compatibility report will show no errors - which is exactly as expected. NO errors. The strange but pathetic message that indicates one should syntax check things that were once working is meaningless.
