There a way I could capture the color in the string as well. So non-colored strings wouldn't set it off?

--> Name has vanquished his foes, gaining himself level Number!
--> Name forgets the real world and steps into the myth!

black = dark color
green = default grey
red = red
blue = bright white

Those are the 2 basic strings that i want to set off triggers for saying hi or gratz'ing them for leveling.

you could always do this
#trigger {^--> (*) has vanquished his foes, gaining himself level (*)!} {chat Congratulations %1 on attaining level number %2.}

#trigger {^--> (*) forgets the real world and steps into the myth!} {chat Welcome %1, enjoy your stay.}

by putting in the ^ you can prevent dopes from setting off your triggers with says and chats and such.

Yes, triggers can fire based on colors. To do this, you need to check the ANSI trigger in the Options tab for the trigger you want. This allows ANSI control codes in the pattern. Now, you need to find out the control codes that rpdocue the color of the message you want.

An easy way to do this is to open the Editor (Windows|Editor) and make sure it is in Raw Mode (Options|Raw Mode). Now, go to the MUD window, copy the text you want to match, and paste it in the Editor. Now the text appears with the ANSI control codes. Copy this from the Editor and paste it into the Pattern box for your trigger. Finally, replace every occurance of the weird character (the one that always comes before a [) with %e.
