Lua zs.trigger interface & xml
 
1) start cmud, close sessions window
2) open PE, past following code into window

Code:
<trigger priority="10" id="1">
    <pattern>test</pattern>
    <value> </value>
  </trigger>
  <alias name="test" language="Lua" id="2">
    <value>trig = zs.gettrigger(1)
local tpat = trig.trigger
local tname = trig.name
  local npat = "^"..tpat
  local nname = string.sub(npat,1,64)
  if (string.sub(tpat,1,64) ~= string.sub(tname,1,64)) then
    --print("name&amp;pattern NOT the same")
    nname = tname
  end
  trig.name = nname
  trig.trigger = npat
trig.endupdate</value>
  </alias>


3) right click on the alias, click execute script
4) click on the trigger, click xml tab, Notice name change, but same pattern
5) click script text tab, add a space to the script, save and click back on xml tab
6) notice no name tag, and pattern has been updated


Further testing reveals that the actual pattern HAS been updated, after executing the alias,
#say blehtest will not fire the trigger, but #say test will

This is not actually a bug, but by design.

The name of trigger is taken from the 'fullname' property, the 'trigger' property. If you want the trigger name to be updated as well you need to set the 'fullname' property also.

fullname
Some settings have a short name and a long name. Use this to return the long name of a setting.
trigger
the same as the fullname property and used to store the full trigger pattern
