Hello, well I am working on this script so that it colors the mastery of my spells and skills, but only when i type (know, knowledge, know skill, know spells, etc) here is what I have so far

First off, a couple apparent errors. Your #TEMP statement will (should) fire at the end of the next line, resetting your trigger to state 0 at the onset. Why is the first element of your variables "<Array>"?

My suggestion:

Sadly it didnt work. And the reason i am using something like that is because of the reply LightBlub gave here, this managed to inspire me to rewrite the script instead of the way i had it which wasnt helping because it would fail most of the time and stay active the whole time so every word on the list would change color, anyway here is the post i am refering to http://forums.zuggsoft.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=17164

Here is what I would do:

#ALIAS know {#T+ knowledge1;#TEMP {^Common *$} {#T- knowldege1};~know}

#VAR skillmcolor {yellow|blue|bold,green|cyan|red|brown|magenta|bold,red|white}
#VAR skillmtext {slight|skilled|master|fair|expert|basic|average|advanced|sliver}

#TRIGGER "knowledge1" {^*%s({@skillmtext})%s*%s({@skillmtext})%s*%s({@skillmtext})$} {#CW %1 {%item( @skillmcolor, %ismember( %1, @skillmtext))};#CW %2 {%item( @skillmcolor, %ismember( %2, @skillmtext))};#CW %3 {%item( @skillmcolor, %ismember( %3 @skillmtext))}}

You might have to create two more triggers for when there aren't three columns on the last line.

Edited based on replies.

as nice as all the code you all have given me neither seems to work, it just doesnt do the coloring, the one i had at least colored the words before but it just used to go insane and pick which ones it would color and send the rest to hell, the ones that have been posted so far just do nothing, Ive tested both of them out, and from what i see what i might have to end up doing is going back to having to get that entire list, cause the problem for me is that if you type knowledge by itself it gives you every spell and skill, and I want to be able to type knowledge skill, and it just gives me the skills, or knowledge spells and it gives me the spells so the ending with groups, or ending with common just doesnt help. plain and simple they just dont work. thanks anyway i am just going to continue trying till i blow a whole in someones head, or wait till someone can show me something else other then what you two have given me, that doesnt include making a class and having a bunch of trigers that change the color, be enabled when i type know, and disabled when it sees the word group... thanks anyway guys.

Will simply creating some color triggers and putting them in a separate class work? It may be crude, but if it works Very Happy

#AL kn {know %1;#T+ KnowColors;#ALA +1 {#T- KnowColors}}
#CLA KnowColors disable
#TR {%sslight} {#CW yellow}
#TR {%sskilled} {#CW blue}
#TR {%smaster} {#CW %eval(%color(bold)+%color(green))}
#TR {%sfair} {#CW cyan}
#TR {%sexpert} {#CW red}
#TR {%sbasic} {#CW brown}
#TR {%saverage} {#CW magenta}
#TR {%sadvanced} {#CW %eval(%color(bold)+%color(red))}
#TR {%ssliver} {#CW white}
#CLA 0

I went with an Alias so as not to conflict with your MUD's "know" command. I used %s to avoid coloring any skills that may contain similar words. I didn't see a standard "finish" line, hence the ALARM. Would something like that work?
