I'm playing Imperian. My prompt looks like:

H: # M: # V: # <eb>

I have a trigger I use when bashing that checks my prompt for the "b" (balance).

Example:

H: 70/70 M: 70/70 V: 500 <eb>
H: 70/70 M: 70/70 V: 500 <eb> egs
You recline back into a powerful Eagle stance. (I have a trigger here to #WAIT 1000 and then set a variable)

H: 70/70 M: 70/70 V: 500 <e >
(2.x seconds later)
You have recovered balance.
H: 70/70 M: 70/70 V: 500 <eb>

OK, with variables met, the trigger should fire and send an attack combo. Sometimes it does, but sometimes it doesn't, even though all variables are met. (verified several times)

I can do a #SH, and it will fire. In fact, if I send anything to the mud after that final prompt it will fire (even #CR).

I tried a #CR after the "You have recovered balance" message. nada (too soon)
So, I added a "smile" command to trigger after the "balance" message. It fires, causes the text to scroll, the "<eb>" trigger then fires, and the attack combo is sent.

My question is why won't it fire on the "<eb>" line on its own every time? I've even seen a double prompt line, and it still didn't fire!

H: 70/70 M: 70/70 V: 500 <eb>H: 70/70 M: 70/70 V: 500 <eb>

I can deal with it. Just curious.

You need to change the trigger options on the Options tab, so it will Trigger on: 'Prompt' instead of 'Newline'.

As an additional note, it's recommended (by Zugg) that you don't use #WAIT in triggers. He's got an article explaining why in the Support Library (Support link at top of page).

Of course! This is the first prompt trigger I've used. Forgot all about the delicious Options tab.

Thank you, sensei Lightbulb!
