This may be very newbie'ish, but have to ask this somewhere. I have a small problem I do not know how to fix concerning multi's and triggers. I will give a very simple example of what I am encountering. Lets say I create a character, and log into a mud. I then create a trigger for "drink water", save it, and everything is fine. I then go out and create a second character to play at the same time in the same mud, log it in, then create a trigger for "eat food", save it, and everything is fine. The problem comes the next time I log them both in, and each character both have all the created triggers for both characters, ie, both have "eat food" and "drink water". How do I set up character specific triggers that only load for each char when logged in?

I suggest reading the help file section on the Character Database.

You have to seperate the .mud files for each character. Reading the help on the Character Database is definitely a good place to go to understand how to do this.

The simplest way to have character specific triggers is to have character specific settings files.

Select one of the characters from the character selection screen.
Click the Edit button instead of the Connect button.
Select the Files tab.
Change the Primary file.
Click the Save button.

I usually make a copy of the existing file and rename it, then delete any settings I don't want by opening the character Offline.

Instead of typing a new name into the Primary field, click the folder icon (Browse) next to it.
Right-click the current file and select Copy.
Right-click an empty spot and select Paste.
Right-click Copy of... and select Rename.
After renaming the copy, type its name into the File name field and click the Open button.
Click the Save button and then the Offline button.
Click the Settings button, then select any settings you don't want to keep and Delete them.
