I'm capturing yells to a window.

In the capture window with the yells, I want to append the time the yell happened, right next to the yell.

I want to use %time(c)

I can extract the time the yell happened using the time function, and send that to a variable. But how do I get the variable to prepend itself right before the yell in the capture window?

Do you NEED it to prepend itself before the yell?

If it's ok to have it come after the yell, then in the same trigger that you #cap, try:

#window {WINDOWNAME} {%time( c)}

Where WINDOWNAME is, obviously, the windowname. That's what I use, let me know if you have any advice on how to make it more efficient or if this isn't what you were seeking!

Is it possible to put it on the same line as the yell? And not have it create a new line in the window after the yell?

Heh, well, I'm not even sure if this would work, but if there's any way to work such a command:

#window {tells} {%time( c) #cap tells}

(That brings a syntax error, so it obviously won't work, but you can see where I'm trying to go.)

You could use
#WINDOW yells {%time("c") %line}
However you will lose all coloring in that line.

Next solution is to have a trigger in your yells window actually #SUBSTITUTE in the %time. Since all text going to this window should have a similar format it is easy enough to recolor during that #SUB. Remember to save a seperate setting for that child window to make the trigger automatically recreated.
