Zugg Software :: View topic - Using a trigger to hilight or color change only 1 word

In the examples, a trigger can be written to hilight or color change the entire line if a word you are looking for is inside it.
Can a more advanced trigger be written that only hilights that one word?
It would be far easier to read if possible.

#cw {word} {color}

That will color only 1 word or phrase and not the entire line.

Thanks.
To get it to work, I had to do #tr { pattern } { #cw color }

doing #cw... stuff I wrote in the command input line should of created that trigger by itself. Strange that it did not for you. Older version of zMUD perhaps ? Anyway. Good riddance.

Nope, I tried it from the command line and no triggers were created.
I have the latest version, since it auto updates.
It works now though.

That's something that could potentially cripple you. If more commands act the same way and do not fire off correctly from the command line like the #cw doesn't do for you...

To see that it should do as such and that the syntax is correct, all you have to do is type #cw in the command line and on it or at the end of the command/word Press F1 and it'll show you the command-wizard for the #cw command. It shows 2 entries, one which is the word or phrase you wish to color, and the second the color itself.

That this command does not work, is like I said, possibly crippling you. Any wizard that happens to know any setting that may cause this?
