I have this old trigger and am trying to get it to work.. It will capture and gag it and thats it. If you could please go into to detail I am trying to relearn zmud Embarassed

Thanks a bunch

#CLASS {arrivals}
#TRIGGER {(%x %x) just arrived in the world.} {#gag;#gag -1;:Arrivals:#sub %ansi(green,bold)%1%ansi(white)";arrived:"%time( h:mm:ssampm);#cap Arrivals}
#TRIGGER {(%x %x) has left the world.} {#gag;#gag -1;:Arrivals:#sub %ansi(yellow,bold)" "%1%ansi(white)" left: "%time(h:mm:ssampm);#cap Arrivals}
#TRIGGER {(%x %x) has left the world unexpectedly.} {#gag;#gag -1;:Arrivals:#sub %ansi(red,bold)" "%1%ansi(white)" disco'd: "%time(h:mm:ssampm);#cap Arrivals}
#CLASS 0

Well, they all do very similar things.

#TRIGGER, of course specifies that you are setting up a command to perform an action on particular output from the MUD.

The first part specifies your matching criteria, for example

The #SUB would be extraneous, unless you want to have the changed line in your logs (since you're gagging it you won't be seeing the results on your screen).

#CAPTURE is also extraneous, since it's performing a similar action to the :Arrivals:#sub command. Unless you really want to see double messaging in your Arrivals window, you should get rid of one or the other.

Thanks a bunch for the replys. I copied he same script into my command line. It captures like it is supposed to and puts it into the arrival window but it wont timestap it nor color it.

This is what is in zmud

#CLASS {arrivals}
#TRIGGER {(%x %x) just arrived in the world.} {
#gag
#gag -1
:Arrivals:#sub %ansi(green,bold)%1%ansi(white)";arrived:"%time()
#cap Arrivals
}
#TRIGGER {(%x %x) has left the world.} {
#gag
#gag -1
:Arrivals:#sub %ansi(yellow,bold)" "%1%ansi(white)" left: "%time()
#cap Arrivals
}
#TRIGGER {(%x %x) has left the world unexpectedly.} {
#gag
#gag -1
:Arrivals:#sub %ansi(red,bold)" "%1%ansi(white)" disco'd: "%time()
#cap Arrivals
}
#CLASS 0

also the above is actually making triggers in my arrival window

#TRIGGER {%ansi(green,bold)Dravon} {#sub Soulkill%ansi(white)";arrived:"%time()}

ahh maybe the problem this is what i see when they arrive

** Dravon Soulkill just arrived in the world.
I see there first name and last would that mess things up?

sorry that one wont do anything It doesnt gag them or move them

If you actually tried it you would have seen that it does indeed gag and move it, but then again perhaps you know more about coding than I do. The only part that may require a little tweaking is the trigger pattern which I can only guess at as you haven't actually provided much in the way of output from the mud.

I would go through the code and explain what each portion does however I dislike the dismissive attitude you demonstrated in your previous post so I won't.

I dont waste peoples time I get to the point and make it short as possible. I doubt you or anyone else wants to see me drone on and on about stuff.

I did indeed try your script. I even removed erased and reinstalled zmud and put your script only in there. It did not work.

I also thought I provided enough information for people to work with. I posted this

** Dravon Soulkill just arrived in the world.
I wanted to gag that put it into another window and timestamp it. I am not sure what other mud input you need?

hopefully that clarifys my posts and addresses yours

Which mud is it from? I'll login and make sure the pattern matches correctly.

unfourntantly it is Dragons gate and they are only allowing people with old accounts to reopen them. Thanks for the offer would it help if I posted a small snippet of my screen?

** Command Queue Cleared.

Done.
I don't see what you are referring to.
look

[Ork Clan.]

Low hoots and howls echo along the corridor walls from the south, alerting to the presence of more than just slimy water and brown lumps further into the cave. The odors of rotting food, sludge and stale air mix together creating a stench that emanates throughout the passage. A small opening is here.

This room is not illuminated.
Obvious exits: southeast.

That is indeed unfortunate.. I think the probelm we are having may be that the browser/forum can sometimes strip characters such as extra spaces when posting. The solution to this is to place the output between code tags. If you could highlight another example of output and paste them within code tags it would make life much easier.

In the mean time you may be able to get the trigger pattern I posted in my previous post to work by removing the '^' from the beginning of the pattern and also removing the '$' from the end. These characters I added to make the trigger more secure (I dislike insecure triggers) to minimise the possibility of someone spoofing the trigger.

ok ill give it a try thanks

Beginner Joined: 02 Apr 2006 Posts: 20

I got something to work.

[/code]
#TRIGGER {** ([%x%s]) has left the world.} {#sub {{%1 %2} has left the world. {%time( )}}
#cap arrivals
#gag
[/code]

only problem is that it only takes there last name and i see this
[/code]
{Soulkill } has left the world. {Monday May 15, 2006 3:44:17 pm}
[/code]

not alot of people going and coming right now so ill have to get a log of it later

When posting within code tags you only need to use the / on the closing tag.

With your pattern matching if you remove the square brackets and add another %x after the %s you should capture both names, does everyone have two names?

The trigger should look like this:
