I dunno what I am doing wrong but when I try to turn on or turn off a class folder, with triggers and such in the folder, it wont turn off or on for that matter so heres my attempt :)
I have a class folder named quest
inside the folder is this

#CLASS {quest} {enable|setdef}
#TRIGGER {[TARGET] A brownish grey gnome watches you warily} {k gnome}
#TRIGGER {[TARGET] A slave trader wonders if you are a perspective buyer} {k trader}
#CLASS 0

ok thats a partial list and I just realized it's in text style? tried changing it to zmud script but when i go back to edit it or whatever it's text again.
Anyways outside of the folder I have (what I thought) 2 triggers to turn it on and off
#trigger {you ask caleb for a quest} {#T+ quest}
#trigger {you inform caleb you have done it etc} {#T- quest}

i did put another command after each on/off trigger to see if the text was matching and it was.
after a few hours of trying to bs my way through this with the forums and helps
I have come to the conclusion "I am missing something so freaking simple or overthinking this whole thing" so which is it?
any help or a slap aside the noogin to improve my vision mucho appreciated :)
oh yea tried a few options on the class thing also with no avail.

That's strange. Try disabling and enabling the class manually using the settings editor and see if it disables correctly that way.

Also, it might be possible that you have a copy of these triggers somewhere else, so that when the class is disabled, they copy still fires.

By the way, you are missing ~'s before each [ and each ] in the pattern of your triggers. Otherwise, zMUD will interpret this as a range.

All I could think of is maybe you have something else with id quest? A trigger maybe?

Export all your triggers to a text file and search through it perhaps to speed up the
debug process.

Kjata's point:
#TRIGGER {~[TARGET~] A brownish grey gnome watches you warily} {k gnome}
#TRIGGER {~[TARGET~] A slave trader wonders if you are a perspective buyer} {k trader}
