I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong:

#TRIGGER {^%w tells you '*'$} {#CAPTURE CaluLog}

This obviously captures tells and puts them in a window called CaluLog. An odd problem that I'm having, however, is when someone sends me a tell that I have set to trigger something else (i.e. I run a spellbot), it only captures the last of the commands. This is how it looks.

TRIGGER {(%w) tells you*'{bless| bless}} {stand;cast bless %1;sit bar} would be a trigger that'd make me stand up, and cast bless on the person....so...

Relic tells you 'bless'
stand
cast bless Relic
sit bar

The trigger fires, but all that gets logged to the Channel window is "sit bar". That's all, not the tell (which is the only one that should be logged). I'm very confused, but I'm sure that someone with more experience is going to say, "Oh, just uncheck this option." So I hope the solution is easy.

Get rid of the Capture Trigger and put everything in the spell trigger:

Use the #WINDOW command instead, it sends the output directly to the window, creating it if it doesn't exist.

#WINDOW "CaluLog" %trigger

This sends the trigger line (%trigger) to the window "CaluLog"

#TRIGGER {(%w) tells you*'{bless| bless}} {#WINDOW "CaluLog" %trigger;stand;cast bless %1;sit bar}

i have somehow the same problem though it logs what it should and more.

here is a little info.
i want a multiline capture, i have one working a little.
the capture from
tells you
then it captures everything until my prompt is shown, but sometimes, like in combat
the text from the combat can come between the tell and prompt.
a tell could look like this

Dwaylor tells you 'hello'

I don't know how i would be able to only log that, i have been trying with a few options in zmud
the normal cap work only single line. c- and c+ wont work.
I though maybe you could have zmud look for ' but this will also be a problem because we also use words as "don't", but can zmud be set to look for ' and nothing after
so if '
and nothing efter '
#T- tell

Thanks for your help Uziel! However, the solution you posted doesn't actually get me anywhere. I have a Channel Logger that logs all channels into the separate Channel Log window. For some reason, when a channel activates a trigger, the last line of the trigger appears in the window and nothing else. The solution wouldn't work, because I have about 80 patterns that I check for and CAPTURE into the Channel window. Also, the channel logger has nothing to do with the SpellBot, and I shouldn't have used it as the example. I'm not looking to change how my spellbot works, just the way Channels are logged.

Drystin, I'm not sure if there's any "etiquette" per se, but would you kindly start a new thread for a new idea/question?

I'm not 100% on how the #CAPTURE command works however I just duplicated your situation (and observations) and fixed it using the #WINDOW command.

The key to everything is that you are sending the variable %trigger. You are telling zmud you want the line that caused the trigger (%trigger) to go to the window CaluLog. This leaves very little room for zmud to get the variable wrong.

replace

#TRIGGER {^%w tells you '*'$} {#CAPTURE CaluLog}

with

#TRIGGER {^%w tells you '*'$} {#WINDOW CaluLog %trigger}

Now you have me wondering if I should change all my #capture to #window... <mutter>

Surprised

Simply open the Settings Editor. Click on the triggers button so only triggers are displayed. Then click the 'show all' button so you that you can review all your triggers. Now select your capture triggers and use the 'move up' button to place them before the other triggers that activate and do things on the same text. This will cause the #CAPTURE to occur before other commands are sent to the mud and throw it off.

Vijilante, thanks for the quick reply! I love your suggestion...it makes perfect sense, but I can't quite figure out how to do it. I'm able to get to my settings editor, click on the Triggers button so only triggers are displayed, but then I have questions. By Show All...do you mean show all classes? If the answer is yes (as I assume) then I've done that, so that I have listed all my triggers. But then I see no "Move Up" button (or move down for that matter) and no place to change the "order" that triggers are used.

I know you'll have the answer, you're the best!

I still think forcing zmud to send the %trigger is a better way. I've moved triggers up and the problem is when you create another trigger after the move.

If you add another trigger such as:

When capturing the tell, can you check it for the bless command and then do your thing if needed? Like:
