I want a trigger that will do the following:

1. When XXXX sends me a tell message
like Lyth tells you hello, I want a
reply trigger ie: you tell lyth hey man
, or something like that. However, I'd
like the trigger go to off to whomever
sends the tell. How do I do this?

2. I'd like the trigger to go off only once.
How can I do this?

well the simplest way I can think of is
Pattern: (%w) tells you
Value: tell %1 heyas

can also randomize what is said back to them but I'm away from Zmud ATM.

Cool! How can I get it to only go off once?

Make it a temporary trigger. of course, you will have to re-create it every time it fires whenver you want it to fire again.

You can set up a temporary trigger. Temp triggers only get executed once.

#TEMP {(%w) tells you} {tell %1 hi there}

If you creating this as a botting trigger to ward off IMM, I would also put in a slight delay, to make it seem like you actually typed the message out. So you could do this:

#TEMP {(%w) tells you} {#alarm +3 {tell %1 hi there}}

This will delay the response for 3 seconds, about the time it would take somebody to type it.

As Hastrom suggested, you may also want to add random messages, but that may be more than what your really asking for.

I'm not really sure if a temp trigger is what he's looking for...I think all he wants is a response trigger that won't keep saying hi to someone every time they try to tell him something. If that's the case, he's probably better off with a regular trigger and a state variable that figures out if the speaker has been greeted already. This will leave the trigger available to act on other tells sent by others.

Actually, the temp trigger is good enough for what I need it to do.

Thanks guys!

One more thing on this...how can I have the trigger re-set itself?

What do you mean by re-set itself? I think you need a more complicated system than just a set of simple triggers.

I mean that once it goes off, do I have to make a new trigger for the next time?

When using a #TEMP trigger, it either fires once, ever, and deletes itself or it appears as a very literal and permanent trigger somewhere in your settings file. For instance, this temporary trigger:

#temp {%1 says, ~"(%*)~"} {}

will turn into this trigger:

#trigger {Jeff says, ~"Hey, what are you doing tonight?~"} {}

Only one line will ever match that #trigger, so you'll wind up with several triggers that never get matched to anything.
