Ok I have an alias that is set up to create a trigger with specific settings. This worked just fine in the 2.18 version however since upgrading to 2.25 when I try this instead of creating the trigger on what should be the value of local variable of $Name it creates a trigger called $Name. Has something changed that I'm not aware of and there is an easy fix or is this a bug?

alias AHU with a parms set for $Name

#TRIGGER {$Name} {cHunters} {colours.Hunters} 645

I did also try changing {$Name} to {%1} and it just created a trigger called %1 with as the pattern and cHunters as action in the colours.Hunters class folder.

Any help would be appreciated

Confirmed. I expect it's a bug.

What's the 645 at the end for, btw?

It's to set the check boxes like Case Sensitive, Trigger on Trigger, and Trigger on New Line

I don't know whether it worked on 2.18 or not, I'll take your word for it. However, the correct syntax would be:
Syntax: #TR id {pattern} {commands} classname options
So the trigger should be coded like so:

His syntax doesn't specify an ID, Anaristos, and it does so deliberately - the intention, I think, is to have the alias define the pattern of the trigger. The bug is that the $Name variable (because it is one) isn't expanded when the trigger's created.

OK This Works:

Actually, what also works (so that you can continue to use local variables) is this:

#EXEC {%concat("#TRIGGER {",$Name,"} {cHunters} {colours.Hunters} 645")}

*shrug*

Thank you Charneus. That does at least let it function.

Just kind of annoying that this is the third incarnation of that same alias.

If you don't want to use the #EXEC {%concat("#TRIGGER {",$Name,"} {cHunters} {colours.Hunters} 645")}, you can switch from a local variable to standard variable and just do #TRIGGER {@Name} {cHunters} {colours.Hunters} 645.
