I made a trigger for

"You receive %d experience."
#CW %d #0033FF

and now EVERY number that pops up on my mud is blue. :(
I understand where I went wrond, but I don't know how to rectify it, I can easily change it to a new color, but I need it to be the default color of the mud, ie. different colors for different numbers...

I know it's a newb question, but please give me a hand. :)

Type this at the command line and hit enter

#UNTRIGGER %d

#CW is not the command you want to use to color JUST the number
Also it would be to your advantage to read the pattern matching help file, AND The help file for #CW
There are two ways to handle this one is with a #SUB
The other is a Conditonal reparse trigger

#TR {You recieve (%d) experience.} {#SUB {You recieve %ansi(hi,blue)%1%ansi(default) experience.}}

OR

#TR {You recieve %d experience.} {}
#COND {%d} {#CW $0033FF} {reparse}

How about #PCOL?
#TR {You recieve (%d) experience.} {#PCOL $0033FF %x1}

If you want different colors for different numbers, you'll have to use #IF or %if to get different commands or values. We have no idea what the default colors for your MUD are, or why, if they are the default colors of your MUD, you couldn't just use them without any trigger at all! If the MUD already makes these numbers the colors you want them to be, this seems like a complete waste of time!!
#TR {You recieve (%d) experience.} {#IF (%1 < 5) {#PCOL $FF3300 %x1} {#PCOL $0033FF %x1}}
#TR {You recieve (%d) experience.} {#PCOL %if( %1 < 5, $FF3300, $0033FF) %x1}
