highlighting in child windows
|
What would be the easiest way to transfer a numver of color triggers to a child window as well as the ever expanding variable lists of things to be colored

Maybe its simpler to put the capture trigger "lower" than the coloring triggers.
In the settings editor, if you view only triggers, choose Class: All, view->sort by->none, you will see the order of the triggers. Drag and drop the capture to a child window trigger lower than the colorizing triggers.
That way you do not have to worry about duplicates or errors in not updating a child window.

hmm that doesnt seem to work but then im not using #CAP im using #WIN, perhaps i could have it copy the needed triggers and variables to the child window at connection and remove them on disconnect somehow

Ah ok. Then do something like:
In the child window, you can refer to the variables of the main session.
Main session's name:MyCharacter
Main session's variable:MyListToColor
Child Window:#TRIGGER {{@MyCharacter.MyListToColor}} {#CW 71}

Ok something odd is happening, its working fine but it seems to have changed the defualt text color of the child window from 11 to 6, rather annoying

I haven't tested this but give this a try:
Sildaren:
quote:
If you want to avoid capturing the internal output of 'show triggers', you can use #WINDOW, instead of #CAPTURE
#TRIGGER {tells you,} {#WINDOW tell %trigger}
You need to enable the 'ansi trigger' option for the trigger in the settings editor, it will grab multicolored lines properly.
