I was hoping that someone could help me by writing a simple trig for me...
here's what I want to have happen:
(another chars name) tells you: (whatever they say)
is what happens
what I'd like is for what they say to be displayed in a message window ala #message
for instance:

Indra tells you: Hi Silverbolt how are you today?

then a message window pops up with the message
Indra just told you: Hi Silverbolt how are you today?

The mud I'm on when your a mage you get a hell of a lot of spam in many different colors... it's often difficult to tell when someone sends you a tell so I thought a message window would help immensely
Thanks for any help

You're looking for the ECHO command.

I've never used it so not sure how to go about doing it.
Something like this

#ECHO %1 has just told you: %2

when Pattern = %1 tells you: %2

Not exactly sure. Might be wrong.

#TR {(*) tells you(*)} {#MESS "%1 just told you%2"}

#tr {tells you~:} {#cap Tells}

#MESSAGE disappears after 10 seconds, so if you need to refer back to that tell after it goes away you're pretty much screwed. Making a Tells window like Talahaski shows is probably your best bet.

Ok I just found this trigger that records tells and puts them into a text file (like notepad) and also has a "View Recent Tells" part.

(this is all zMud 5.55)

1) open a file when you log in to record all tells:
#FILE 1 my-tells.txt

2) Trigger to record tells in a file and add them to a list.

Pattern:
&dude tells you: &message

Action:
#WRITE 1 {@dude tells you: @message}
lasttell={@dude told you: @message}
tellslist={@tellslist|@lasttell}
#AD maxtell 1

3) Macro to show your recent tells.

#LOO 1,@maxtell {#echo %item(@tellslist, %{i}) }
maxtell=1
tellslist=""

another option:

Trigger pattern
^(%w) tells you: (*).

Command:
#WIN tells %1 tells you: %2

This opens up a new window called: tells. and displays the "tell" information. You can then get fancy and format the color of %1 and %2 so it looks real pretty.

hey my friends wants to acclomplish the same thing... only he uses the free version of zmud... many things seem different to me and I can't seem to get it worknig for him...
I ended up using for mine:
#trigger %1 tells you %2
#message %1 has told you: %2

works great for me as I only need it to popup and tell me what happened.. ten seconds is fine for both of us
however I try the same thing on his version and it returns nothing

I don't have the Free version installed on my system as it wont run, but i've got a copy of the help file for it. There is no #MESSAGE command in the command reference of the help file.

Your best bet for him is to use the #WINDOW command instead.

#trigger %1 tells you %2
#WINDOW TELL %1 said: %2
