I am using Zmud on Realms of Despair with 3 characters (Cleric, Mage, and Vampire). Could someone point me to some useful trigger sets? I would like to multiplay effectively, but I am not certain what works and what does not. Any guidance or suggestions would be appreciated!

you could use the #WIN and #GVAR commands, not exactly sure what you'd like to do though. They basically send text to another window or make a variable global not character set.

Depending on what you want to do, you could use a combination of the #win to send a command to another window then trigger off the data sent, possible #WIN with a #SHOW.

Not sure if that points you in any direction.

Killing a fly on a friends forhead may not be overkill, use a hatchet to make sure the job is done.

Me either! I guess I should use one character to send commands to the control the other two--to spell me up and such; but I am hoping someone who is experienced in multiplaying would give me some suggestions.

Thank you for responding!

Well, start playing with your three characters and think about what would you like zMUD to do that would make your life easier. Just notice any small or big task that you do, which you would like to be automatic or made simpler.

To sned commands to a window while you are in another one, use this:
windowname:commands
:windowname:commands

where windowname is the name of the window you want the command to be executed at, and commands are the commands to be executed just as if you had typed them in yourself. The first syntax sends the commands in the other window and then gives focus to the other window. The second syntax sends the commands, but retains focus on your window.
