There is a trigger option - trigger on promt.
Can somebody explain please what is this, how to use it? What need to set on zmud, or mud?
Thanks.

Trigger on Prompt is for triggering on lines that do not end with a newline character (CR for carriage return, or LF for line feed, usually both are sent.) This means that as soon as the specific trigger matches it's target, stuff happens. With Trigger on Newline, the trigger waits until the next newline character to execute it's code.

I know it's not all that great an explanation, but it'd good enough for government work.

I always knew what is for prompt trigger.
I just dont know how to use it. If i use promt trigger, it isnt triggering at all for me. So that is what i ask: how to use it?

Say that this is the prompt from the mud, and when you type a command (in this case, LOOK), it puts the command at the end of the prompt like above. This is what Trigger on Prompt is for, to match and immediately execute whatever code was in the trigger once the lack of a newline character was detected. If Trigger on Prompt was not checked, then any code the trigger would run would not execute until you either sent a command to the mud or the mud sent you another line of output. Both of those conditions end with a newline character, which is where ZMud anchors trigger execution by default.

You sound like a non-English native, so hopefully I didn't too thoroughly confuse you. If you'd like, post the trigger you're having trouble with and maybe I or someone else can illustrate the point made.
