I have ZMUD 6.37 and I need some help with a 2 stage trigger. Mostly I need help with writing the #IF for second stage of trigger. Here is what I have so far:
1st Trigger: puff (%a) <--- Command input
2nd Trigger: The pipe is now empty of leaf

I want 3 actions from this last trigger:
IF %1 = pipe63237 than outpouch malloran;put malloran in pipe63237
IF %1 = pipe77978 than outpouch megillos;put megillos in pipe77978
IF %1 = pipe44576 than outpouch arkasu;put arkasu in pipe44576
Not sure if I should be using #IF. Cant seem to make this last part work correctly.

#ONINPUT {puff (%a)} {}
#COND {The pipe is now empty of leaf} {
#IF (%t1="pipe63237") {outpouch malloran;put malloran in pipe63237}
#IF (%t1="pipe77978") {outpouch megillos;put megillos in pipe77978}
#IF (%t1="pipe44576") {outpouch arkasu;put arkasu in pipe44576}
}

Okay, explanation:
The #ONINPUT command just recognizes that this is a trigger; it does nothing, and then advances to the next state (which I'm assuming you know about since this is what you're asking for).

The #COND trigger is your series of #IF statements that executes only whenever you type "puff somepipe12345". After it executes the appropriate #IF statement, it cycles the trigger back to the "puff" trigger.

Of course, you can always learn more about multi-state triggers here:

Why use multi-stage triggers at all? I'd use an alias for 'puff' and use that to capture %1 to a variable, then trigger off of the empty pipe line to do your #IF's.....

For more info on multi-stage triggers and more examples of how to use them, consult the Beta forum, which is where questions about beta commands and capabilities are usually handled. Here's a non-beta solution.

#ALIAS puff {#VAR pipe %1;~puff %-1}
#TR {The pipe is now empty of leaf} {#IF (@pipe = "pipe63237") {outpouch malloran;put malloran in @pipe;light @pipe;puff @pipe};#IF (@pipe = "pipe77978") {outpouch megillos;put megillos in @pipe};#IF (@pipe = pipe44576) {outpouch arkasu;put arkasu in @pipe};#IF (!((@pipe = "pipe63237") OR (@pipe = "pipe77978") OR (@pipe = "pipe44576"))) {#MESSAGE Empty pipe, contents unknown!}}

Actually, I'd probably use three different aliases (smkmal, smkmeg, smkark, for instance) in place of the puff alias. That way, I wouldn't have to remember pipe numbers myself. You'll notice on the first pipe I added commands to relight it and puff it again, don't know if you'd want them or not.

Thank you for all the help. Works like a charm now! I will go to Beta section from now on for #cond triggers.
