Actually your answer is in your subject header ;)

Easiest is to use the #capture command.

For example.

Code:


#trigger {You CHAT: '*'$} {#capture ChatWindow}



As you didn't provide any information how lines like these look in your MUD, I'm afraid here's where my wit ends.


Btw, alternatively, you can use #window command that has more complex functions such as pre-definied ablities to set window with certain heigh, width etc, but personally I have found #capture to be a lot nicer to use.

so if i use capture, will it create a window when it triggers the first time or what?
Or do i need to create a window first with the #window command?

#CAPTURE will automatically create the window if you don't already have one.

Odds are the window is just hidden from view behind your other windows. Look for it under the windows menu.
Otherwise, go into the settings editor, select the window, go to the advanced tab, and make sure the visible box is checked.

P.S. It is better to start a new thread than to necro a 9 year old one.
