I have 3 pipes(pipe1,pipe2,pipe3), each with a different herb(herb1,herb2,herb3).
When the pipe is empty I want them to automatically refill.
This is what Im trying to do.
#tr {smoke pipe1} {#cw green}; #co {You take a puff of the pipe, but find it is empty of leaf.} {fill pipe with herb1}
If i want pipe2 to contain herb2, which gets the same empty message the trigger seems to only want to fill pipe1 with herb1 when I try to smoke an empty pipe2.[:(!] Somebody tell me there is a way around this.

A simple solution might be to use an alias. The following alias should work for your needs:

#alias smk {smoke %1;#temp "pipeout" {You take a puff of the pipe, but find it is empty of leaf.} {fill pipe with %2}

Thus, you would type "smk pipe1 herb1" and it'd work. You could also do smk1, smk2, and smk3 where you'd only have to type smk1 (etc) and replace the %1 and %2 with the names of the pipes and herbs. You could also set it to look up the name of an herb from the name of a pipe, but it's too late at night for me to give that example ;)

#COlor is both an action command when used with a single parameter (the color attribute string) and a trigger-creation command when used with two parameters (the pattern and the color attribute string). Since you used the second type, with two parameters, you created a new trigger instead of just coloring the line.

I think something like this is what you're looking for:
#TR {smoke pipe(%d)} {#CO green;#VA pipenum %1}
#TR {You take a puff of the pipe, but find it is empty of leaf.} {fill pipe@pipenum with herb@pipenum}

I didnt realize #co was for color.[:I] I was trying to get a second trigger to fire when "smoke pipe1234" shows and the next couple of lines show "You take a puff of the pipe, but find it is empty of leaf.". I already have pipe1234 defined as herb1pipe. I just want to "fill herb1pipe with herb1". I dont really even care so much about the colors, I just wasnt sure if you could leave the first trigger value blank. So if "smoke pipe5678" shows an empty message it should "fill herb2pipe with herb2" and so on.
