Command input triggers and repeat within line
|
Repeat within line appears to do nothing with command input triggers. Simple test:
| Code: |
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<cmud>
<trigger type="Command Input" priority="27030" repeat="true" copy="yes">
<pattern>test</pattern>
<value>#sub replace</value>
</trigger>
</cmud> |
Type test test test on the command line, and it changes to replace test test. Intentional or bug? |

A command input trigger is designed to match commands, which only occur at the beginning of the line, so it seems to me this is operating as it should.

I disagree. The trigger above doesn't only match commands at the beginning of the line, for example foobar test test changes to foobar replace test. Command input triggers still use normal pattern rules, and can be anchored to the beginning and/or the end of the line if that's what you want, but they're certainly not by default.

I don't believe this is correct.
I use command input triggers all the time as substitutions -- for example, I type 'get all bag1' instead of remembering that the serial number for bag1 is 832810. It correctly substitutes 832810 in place of bag1, so what's sent to the MUD is 'get all 832810.'
This makes it impossible for me to do something like 'pour contents bag1 bag2.' Or, for some, impossible to do things like 'The prizes are 1m, 2m, 3m, and 10m.' and have it send 'The prizes are 1,000,000, 2,000,000, 3,000,000, and 10,000,000.' |

Hm, you're right. Sorry. I've only ever used them for matching commands.
