Hello, I'm trying to make a trigger that distinguishes emote from say a spell wearing off. How would I go about making a trigger that detects ansi (ie bright yellow) with text "your luminous aura wear away". I tried using the ANSI Trigger in Edit Triggers, but haven't gotten it to work. Driving me nuts ;) any help would be great.

I've had this question before too, but since they helped me, I'll pass on what I know. Copy the text you want to be in the trigger, open up the editor. Windows then Editor. Make sure it is in RAW mode, you can find this in the options I believe. Then copy the text into there. You'll see a bunch of ansi coding. Copy that line into the trigger line to search for. Replace all the little weird box characters with %e. Make sure the ANSI trigger option is turned on and taadaa...just add in whatever you want it to do.

Thanks for the response, but I still can't seem to get it to work. To test it out I used %e[1;35m(Hide) Versykn CLERIC BREWING is hovering here.%e[0m for the pattern
I had type: "Pattern"
I had "ANSI Trigger" and "Trigger on Trigger" turned on for "Other Options"
and I had "Newline" checked
the value was just "say blah"
I tried checking different options and different trigger methods and types, Any ideas where I might have gone wrong?

The parenthesis () around Hide....

Try:

%e[1;35m~(Hide~) Versykn CLERIC BREWING is hovering here.%e[0m

I'm having trouble with this sort of trigger also. Here's the original pattern:

%e[1;31mArtemis Entreri DISARMS you!%e[0m

which i changed to:

%e[1;31m%* DISARMS you!%e[0m

so it would trigger on anything disarming me, not just Arty.

I have the same options checked as antifire mentioned. Any logical reason why this shouldnt work?

Thanks for your time

Are you sure that is the exact ANSI sequence the MUD sends?

Sorry for the stupid question, but it is standard procedure.

I copied and pasted the origional sequence from the mud to the trigger line, with the ansi option checked, and thats what showed up. Incedentally, i also tried using the Line Color option, which also wont cooperate.

It's not a huge deal if i don't get it to work, as a non-ansi trigger works fine. It's just one of those little things that bugs ya. The main reason i wanted an ansi trigger, was to prevent people from emoting that they disarmed me. I don't get alot of that anyway, so again, its no big deal. I just wanna understand how it works.
