Special characters
|
The mud that I frequent uses the bracket ( [ ) in its room exits. When I want to set up a two line trigger to colorize certain rooms, Cmud seems to be unhappy with the use of brackets. (A two line trigger is needed for some instances, as room names are not 100% unique, and the exits can determine whether or not I'm in the specific room I want to colorize.)
For example:
A vestibule
[Exits: north south west]
I've been building the trigger like this:
<trigger priority="4740" id="1945">
<pattern>A vestibule.$[Exits: north south west]</pattern>
<value>#COLOR "yellow,mxpgreen"</value>
</trigger>
But it doesn't seem to be triggering, because of the brackets in the exit line. Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong? (I am QUITE a novice at this sort of thing) |

As with all special characters in patterns, you need to escape it with the tilde (~) to treat it as a literal character, rather than as its special function. This should work fine:
| Code: |
<trigger priority="4740" id="1945">
<pattern>A vestibule.$~[Exits: north south west~]</pattern>
<value>#COLOR "yellow,mxpgreen"</value>
</trigger> |
