Hi, I need some help running a trigger that makes communication go to another window.
Teh curren trigger for one channel is

&player gossips, '&message'


{then its value is}


#ga


#win Comm {@player gossips, '@message'}


#BEEP


:Comm:#co 6

Now the trouble is when ppl go like
Someone gossips, 'Hi there ;)'
It apperars that having the symbol ";" within the variable makes the trigger abort itself
no i was wondering why, anyone have any thoughts?

It's the usage of creating a variable with &message. Unless you actually need the message to be a variable, use:

quote:
#TRIGGER {(*) gossips, '(*)'} {#GAG;#WIN Comm {%1 gossips, '%2'}}

If you do want the player and gossip to be variables, add them with seperate #VAR commands, using {} to keep the ;) from seperating:

quote:
#TRIGGER {(*) gossips, '(*)'} {#GAG;#WIN Comm {%1 gossips, '%2'};#VAR Player {%1};#VAR Gossip {%2}}

Actually, since you want the exact same thing to appear in the Comm sub-window, it would be easier to just do

quote:
#TRIGGER {* gossips, '*'} {#GAG;#CAPTURE Comm}

The #WIN allows you to reformat and/or change colors of parts:

quote:
#TRIGGER {(*) gossips, '(*)'} {#GAG;#WIN Comm {%1: %2};#PCOL green %x1;#PCOL gray %x2}

(note that #PCOL is special in that uses %x1, etc instead of just %1)
