I'm trying working with Ansi Triggers.....but I can't get the mud to recognize the Default color when it starts at the beginning of a line. When it comes after other colors, I get the code %e[0m but if I try to put that at the start of a line to trigger on an all-default-color line, it won't work.

I've read many other similar situations and solutions, including making the trigger only go off for that specific line color, but this does not work. If anyone knows what I might do to trigger on default text, please help!

No, I'm not referring to the prompt. But it is mud color that I'm referring to. Basically, I'm trying to recognize the default text color as an ansi color. As in when you go to Preferences, Colors, Color Schemes, and choose a Defualt Text color, mine happens to be grey. The text I see on my screen from the mud comes in many different colors (8 actually, each with bright and dim). So when I see grey text on my screen (as in the Default color) I want to recognize it, and trigger on it. But when I copy a "default colored" line of text and open up the Trigger Settings box, create a new trigger, click ANSI Trigger, and then paste the text in, there is NO color code. However, when I copy text in that starts with an actual "color" but also has the "default" color (grey) in it, I get this code: %e[0m.

The first thing I thought to do to get the triggers to work on "default colored"-only lines (where no ANSI code copied in) was to manually paste this code in myself, but this did not work. Also, the Line Color option in the Trigger Options (when set to grey text and black background) also has no bearing on the trigger working.

Please help!

Goto the Options tab of the trigger and make sure there IS a checkmark next to ANSI Trigger and IS NOT a checkmark next to Trigger on Trigger.

Ok...this basically didn't change anything. I really appreciate the help though! The more wrong solutions I eliminate, the closer I come to the correct one.

Anyway, these are the triggers, for a more explicit question:

#TRIGGER {Caleb gives you 1 platinum.} {tell Caleb Thanks!} "" {notrig|color}

This should trigger when Caleb actually gives me 1 platinum. It DOES trigger on default color (no problems there).

#TRIGGER {%e[36mCaleb gives you 1 platinum.} {tell Caleb That won't work!} "" {notrig|color}

This should trigger if Caleb emotes the pattern, in other words, trying to trick my trigger. The following is what's happening.

(assume black is the default text, blue is the emote...and I have Show Triggers activated)

Caleb gives you 1 platinum.
[Caleb gives you 1 platinum.-> tell Caleb Thanks!]
tell Caleb Thanks!
[%e[36mCaleb gives you 1 platinum.-> tell Caleb That won't work!]
tell Caleb That won't work!

Caleb gives you 1 platinum.
[Caleb gives you 1 platinum.-> tell Caleb Thanks!]
tell Caleb Thanks!

So, basically, the trigger (that has the ANSI option on) but with no escape code is recognizing the blue text for just the text, but no color and is firing along with the other one. I'm getting aggrevated at zMud...perhaps a Guru could help?

You're matching the same pattern with two triggers, but only want one to fire if it also matches color?

There's this link where a color matching trigger is used. I'd get rid of the pattern matching trigger and use two color matching triggers.
