Zugg Software :: View topic - Multi-line triggers

In Aetolia, certain classes can conjure illusions. What they do is trick the client into healing an absent affliction. I'm trying to correct this by making triggers that include the cure message with the herb eaten. e.g "You eat a piece of kelp."
"Thank Varian, The Celestine! Your clumsiness is cured!"
I'd like the system to avoid assigning the variable clumsiness 1 when there's no cure message within the next line. Any suggestions as to what I can do?

I would probably use a multi-state trigger to make sure it actually casted the spell
#TRIGGER {You eat a piece of kelp.}
#COND {Thank Varian, The Celestine! Your clumsiness is cured!} {#VAR clumsiness 1} {within|param=1}

That should match only the next line after you receive You eat a piece of kelp.
For other options check the help files for multi state triggers.

You can also do it all from the same trigger if you want.

#TRIGGER {^You eat a piece of kelp.$Thank Varian, The Celestine! Your clumsiness is cured!} {#VAR clumsiness 1}

Eating kelp cures quite a few afflictions. How would I set a trigger to one value for all of the cures. like. "You eat a piece of kelp." "Thank Varian, your clumsiness is cured. and then "Your bronchial tubes open up and your asthma is cured." I've tried to make them seperate triggers but of course one winds up replacing the other. If there wasn't a cure message within the first line, I'd want to reset all kelp healed afflictions.

scratch that. found it. unless this will cause any obvious problems.. #TRIGGER {You eat a piece of kelp.}
#COND {} {kelp_reset} {within|param=1} kelp_reset being the alias to set all kelp cured afflictions to 0
