I want to make a trigger that triggers on two lines.

I'm at work now, but I want to know if this works or not:
#tr {* touches you.<cr>* charms you to sleep.} {wake}

The text from the mud would look like this:
Someone touches you.
Someone charms you to sleep.

I've tought about one trigger enabling a class folder with another trigger in it, but it would be so messy in the long run.

What I would probably do is exactly what you suggested. You can name variables without actually having to put them into a class - so that can be used to turn individual triggers on and off.

If you name your "* charms you to sleep" as "is_asleep" (or something) and then disable it, you could do

"^* touches you."
#t+ is_asleep
#alarm +1 {#t- is_asleep}

So the "* touches you" would enable the "* charms you to sleep" for 1 second and then disables it again.

Its a little klunky - but would work.

#tr {* touches you.$* charms you to sleep.} {wake}

hmm, well it looks like it works, but only the second line gets colored?

Hmm this is a pain. Some people have longer names than others so sometimes the text gets broken up.

Is there a way to trigger a sentence like "Hello how are you today?" even if its spread across two-three lines like
"hello how
are you
today?"

Is there a config or settings command on your mud to disable word-wrapping on the server side? Allowing zMUD to wrap text for you usually fixes problems like this.

It's wrapped from the mud

NO.

Well, yes. You can have an entire set of triggers for the phrase, with every possible line-break. But you won't be able to do it with a single trigger.
