I have 4 triggers that all do the same #show command. THEN, I have a trigger that fires off of that #show. As follows:

#trigger {You quietly approach a racoon. With one lunge you jump forward and snap its neck. You return from the forest gleaming with pride.} {#show Caught a racoon!}

then

#trigger {Caught a (%w)!} {hunt}

But when the second trigger fires, for some reason it sends 'hunt' twice. Any idea why?

Well, the only possibility I see is that there is another trigger that also sends hunt and fires on this. However, I'm curious, why can't you send the hunt command directly in the first trigger? There should almost never be a reason to have to fire a trigger with a #SHOW from another trigger.

I've checked to make sure there are no other triggers with the same pattern. And the reason I have it off of the #show is because there are at least 4 different messages from the MUD for catching something. "You quietly approach..." is only one of them, I used as an example. Also, I need to be able to enable/disable the "Caught a" trigger, while leaving the 4 hunt messages always enabled. Hope that makes some sense.

I don't think it is relevant, but in case it is, the "hunt" command is an alias from zMUD.

I don't see any reason why it should fire twice, but, again, you don't need to use SHOW to fire another trigger. If the problem is that there are multiple messages that should result in the same action, then put a call to the hunt alias in each trigger. If you need to be able to disable the calling of this alias, then put an if check:
#IF (@canHunt) {hunt}

You then set this variable to either 1 or 0 or you could even use a button to toggle its value.

I see what you're saying, but that would not work in this case. I'll keep toying with it and see if I can figure it out.

Why wouldn't it work? You can enable/disable an alias just as easily as a trigger, in fact you can probably use exactly the same method. And, you can still have your hunt messages, they just won't be doing anything except providing you with info.

#TR {You quietly approach a racoon. With one lunge you jump forward and snap its neck. You return from the forest gleaming with pride.} {#show Caught a racoon!;hunt}
#UNTR {Caught a (%w)!}
