Toggle Button Difficulties
|
I'm trying to create a toggle button that will trigger itself on when the string [MAIL] is displayed by the MUD (Medievia), and that will trigger itself off when I type "receive".
Here's what I've got so far:
Variables: 1
mail
Triggers: 2
Pattern: [MAIL]
Value: #VAR mail 1
Pattern: receive
Value: #VAR mail 0
Buttons: 1
Kind: Toggle
Caption: MAIL
State: Button Up
Value: #NOOP %btncol( 1, 7, black)
State: Button Down
Value: #NOOP %btncol( 1, 12, black)
ID: MAIL
Value: @mail
Ok, so far the triggers don't seem to be working properly when I'm connected to the MUD. However, when I'm offline the triggers work to change the state of the button (I can see it going up and down), but the color change is happening to a different button (my HP gauge). Quite confusing! 
Any help/pointers would be greatly appreciated.

in case you forgot to mention it the correct way is ~[MAIL~] for the trigger to work

I just tried that and it didn't work.
Does the order in which triggers or buttons appears in the list matter? |

Use your button ID (currently appears to be "MAIL") as the first parameter to %btncol instead of the button number.
