Ok, heres the MUD Output
700h, 540m, 2400e, 2400w ex-

Heres my trigger
^(%d)h, (%d)m, (%d)e, (%d)w ex-$

Heres my problem...its bugging me to no end.

The trigger works..kinda. It seems that if the prompt output is shown only one time, nothing happens, but if it shows up 2 times then it triggers it two times. Heres an example...

Ascending the Shallam Road.
The bright sun shines down, blanketing you with its life-giving warmth. A runic
totem is planted solidly in the ground. Quietly munching from a feed bag, a
stocky gypsy's pony stands here.
You see exits leading north, east (open door), southeast, south, and west (open
door).

(Next line output about 30 seconds later)
700h, 540m ex-
Good
Good

I am stumped. I can wait 2 mins after seeing the prompt one time and get nothing, the second I see it a second time, I get two replies.

Heres the trigger..simply made just for the use of testing it out...
#trigger {^(%d)h, (%d)m, (%d)e, (%d)w ex-$} {#SH Good}

You are trying to trigger on a prompt. Does your trigger have the prompt option enabled?

Your a "G". Thx, I never new that option existed:)

Also, keep in mind that your prompt will not always end in "ex-" as you use balance and equilibrium or when you have certain defenses up.

Here's what I recommend instead:

^(%d)h, (%d)m, (%d)e, (%d)w ([cexkdb@-])

You may optionally refer to %5 to check your prompt for balance, equilibrium, cloak, blind, deaf, kola, or even phasing. Heh.

I don't recommend the $ at the end because sometimes other messages will be "attached" to your prompt. You already know now to set the Prompt flag and unset the Newline flag, so no need to reiterate that, though I guess I just did.
