Hi i posted a question earlier about a problem. In my MUD whenever someone logs in the game it says: * TITLE Firstname Lastname joins the adventure.
such as: Savage Thanotos Furyblade joins the adventure.

Whenever they disconnect it says: * Firstname has disconnected.
such as: Thanotos has disconnected.

whenever they logoff it says: * Firstname returns home from a hard day of adventuring.
such as: Thanotos returns home after a hard day of adventuring.

I want to gag all of this EXCEPT when my FRIENDS Logoff, Disconnect or Login into the game. Here is what we came up with so far:
#trigger {(%w) ({(%w) joins the adventure|has disconnected|returns home from a hard day of adventuring}.)} {#if (%ismember("%1",@Friends)) {} {#gag}}

It works fine EXCEPT it is still showing NON-FRIENDS **LOGIN** to the game still. Could anyone help me with this please? thanks.

Technically, you should've added this post to your other topic, but oh well

.

Anyways, we can fix this easily enough by shunting the login message into its own trigger:

#trigger {~* * (%w) %w joins the adventure.} {#if (%ismember("%1",@Friends)) {} {#gag}}

quote:

#trigger {(%w) ({(%w) joins the adventure|has disconnected|returns home from a hard day of adventuring}.)} {#if (%ismember("%1",@Friends)) {} {#gag}}

If that's what I gave you, then I need to be smacked hard. Stringlists are NOT able to include wildcards, so {(%w) joins the adventure|...} won't ever match anything but "(%w) joins the adventure."

The correct trigger (after we apply everything talked about in your post) should be:

#trigger {~* (%w) {has disconnected|returns home from a hard day of adventuring}.} {#if (%ismember("%1",@Friends)) {} {#gag}}
