I was wondering if anyone could help me out with a trigger to automatically open a door that is closed, once i run into it. I'm looking for one that does something like "open (last direction i was heading)"
For example, im going north, and i run into a closed door, i'd like the trigger to automatically enter "open north".
Any help is greatly appreciated.

This works for me:

#TR {{is|are} closed.} {#IF !%null(%lastdir) {open %item( %lastdir, 1); %item( %lastdir, 1)}}

When i entered that trigger, and i run into a closed door, zMUD just responds with "{#IF"
*shrug* I'm new to this whole thing, do i do something besides paste that trigger in?

Add another '}' to the end, it looks like Troubadour forgot one :)

That trigger command was intended to be entered at the command line of zMud. So if you were to cut and paste, you should paste it into the command line and hit enter. If instead you are trying to put this into the settings editor, you would separate it out like this:

Pattern: {is|are} closed.
Script: #IF !%null(%lastdir) {open %item( %lastdir, 1); %item( %lastdir, 1)

Please note that the pattern may need to be adjusted to exactly what the message looks like when you run into the closed door.

Bah... I left off the last } above, too.

The trigger still isn't working... if anyone can help me out, that'd be great.

Do you have the automapper open?

Well, the %lastdir function is a mapper function and zMUD can only call it when the mapper is open. If you do not want to have the mapper open, you can use the %lastcom pre-defined variable instead. However, for this to work, no other command may be executed between when you send the direction to the MUD and the trigger fires.
