I am relativly experienced with zmud and have been using it for a about six months. However I am not very familiar with multi-state triggers so I am not quite sure why the catpuring triggers I have don't work.

Here is what I have so far:
#trigger {You tell (%w),} {#cap tell;#gag}
#trigger {(%w) tells you,} {#cap tell;#gag}

Those will capture one-line tell's just fine, and gag them from the main window. But it will not capture the second third or fourth lines because they don't match the pattern. I was planning on making a second-state that would have a pattern {*} and only match text that was high red on red (the ansii sent by the mud for the tells.)

The problem is that there may be up to 4 lines after the initial line of the tell (You tell (%w),) because there is a 75 character limit per line for tells.

To recap:
The Problem: To capture mutliple lines of a tell and gag them.

#trigger {You tell (%w),(%*)$^(%*)$} {#cap tell;#gag} // This will capture 2 line tells.

#trigger {You tell (%w),(%*)$^(%*)$^(%*)$} {#cap tell;#gag} //This will capture 3 line tells.

#trigger {You tell (%w),(%*)$^(%*)$^(%*)$^(%*)$} {#cap tell;#gag} //This will capture 4 line tells.

May not work, and need some playing around with, but thats the general idea.Good Luck!

Hmm I think I understand your triggers, but they don't match the pattern from the mud anyway.

Here is some more information on what the tells look like.
Multiple line triggers are indented five spaces:

You tell Fred, "Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla
bla bla bla bla, guess what? This is called spam!!!!"

Wheather this affects the pattern or not, I don't know.

This is the trigger I had:
#trigger {~(Secretly to (%w)~) (%w) (%*)$^(%*)$} {#cap tell}

this was the text:
(Secretly to Fred) Bob bids you farewell, muttering an incantation to
Xeraphena blessing your passage from the realm of Astaria.

and it didn't match that.

Take out the '^' and see if that works.

#CLASS Multiline "disable"
#TRIGGER {^%*$} {#IF (%ascii(%trigger)=32} {#CAP tell;#GAG} {#T- MultiLine}}
#CLASS 0

That is a class you can use for all your multiline tells irregardless of format. It would also work for any other type of communication. It operates based on the space indent the mud sends and just has to be turned on with "#T+ MultiLine" in your regular captures.

I just turned off word wrapping in my mud and just let zmud do the word wrqapping for me. Just something to think about if you still cant get multline capturing to work
