Okay heres the situation.. hosting a bot but wanna be able to make a trigger remotely instead of re-doing it firsthand.

So I tell it a codeword and the trigger and I want it to add it to that bot's file.

Example
Tell Bot doatrigger #TRIGGER {someone walks by} {emote jumps for joy!}

So when it sees 'someone walks by', the bot would obviously do an emote jumping for joy, etc.

Just wondering if this is doable or not.. couldn't find anything when I searched just a bunch of stuff asking about playing zmud on remote connection.

Yes, it is doable, but if you start getting a little more advanced than your example here, you'll need to take special considerations. For example, if you want your created trigger to reference captured wildcard values, you'll have to use %%1 when you create it, which tells zMUD to create the trigger with %1 rather than substituting the value right away and creating the trigger with that value.

Okay, so in my example how would you do the trigger? Because the one I have doesn't work.

also keep in mind that you will need to be especially careful of people abusing things like this if you arent careful.

I think I misunderstood initially what you wanted to do. Having re-read your first post, I'm guessing that you want to execute a script in another session from your own session by sending the code to a bot in a tell? It can be done, and that's the real danger in using a %* wildcard. If you search the forums for the use of this wildcard, you'll learn why it can be a bad thing. However, if you have faith that no one else will abuse it (or you build in failsafes to make sure you're the one sending the code to the bot), then it might be done something like this:

That didn't work either.

Character tells you 'makeatrigger #TRIGGER {^Character tells you 'haha'} {reply boooooo!}'

Would be what it triggers on, I need it to make the trigger of
{^Character tells you 'haha'} {reply boooooo!}'

Any ideas?
