Feature Request: trigger type "event"
|
Idea: A trigger type that fires when an event is raised that matches the pattern.
Goal: To beat out all those cheeky people who can just use Prompt in an MXP trigger.
Why it's better than what we've got now: Because you can add it as a state in a complex trigger, instead of using a normal event and enabling it and disabling it all the time (which admittedly works, but is a bit clunky). |

I'm not sure this would work how you want it. Trigger states are only tested when a new line of text is received from the MUD. So, your state wouldn't match when the event was raised.

What about "Expression" type patterns? They fire when variables change, even if there's no input from the game...

Yes, that is true, and Expression triggers are handled completely separately from other trigger states, and don't necessarily work correctly when used in a multistate trigger. Same is true of MXP and GSL triggers that are executed outside of the main trigger routines.
