I would have thought that this would have been easy, but for some reason I can not figure out what is happening.

I simply want to have a Variable that increases by 1 everytime I get a critical hit on the MUD. I know that I get a crit when I see the words "You fataly wound"

I then want it to use this Variable to create my new title.

So I first created a @crit variable that equals 0 to start off

I created a Tigger that does the following
#action {You fataly wound} {#ADD crit 1;title @crit}

This should have the crit variable start at 0, then when it sees the crit message of the mud, add 1 to the variable and post it as my title

The problem is that everytime, it actually adds 2. I have no clue why. Just testing I will flash the message and then look at the variable and it always adds 2 to it. It goes from 0 to 2 to 4, etc..

Any help is appreciated

Thanks

Reply I tested your trigger exactly, and it worked fine for me. The only thing I can think of is maybe you have the trigger in your settings two times, and forgot to delete one.Click on the Settings tab and then type 'fataly' in the search box, and hit the Filter button. Make sure you are viewing All Classes.

Other than that, maybe your mud output is different, or some other script is adding to your variable. Really all you can do is sort though all your triggers and check to see whats causing it yourself, because the script you gave us works as it should.

I only have 3 triggers and this is also my first variable so there is not alot to search through :)

I even went onto another character that had nothing (no triggers, aliases, etc) and set it up there and it did the same thing.

Maybe my mud is doing something wierd.. I will continue to play with it.

Thanks

If I'm not mistaken from previous experience, a trigger can fire twice on the same line if the trigger fires both on new line and prompt. If for some reason there is a prompt (pause) somewhere after the pattern, and then more text added to the line before the end of the line. Maybe all it needs is a pause of a few hundred milliseconds.
I'm not sure because I scripted on two different programs recently. :-b
