#PRIORITY syntax error
|
The following trigger will constantly give a syntax error in the script parser. Can anyone see what is wrong, or is it a bug in the script parser?
#TRIGGER {^> (%*)} {#PRIORITY {#SUBSTITUTE {%ansi( default)> %cr%literal( %1)}}}
The mud I'm on has the habit of sending a prompt and then sending the next line without doing a CR first like so:
> Bob enters the room.
The above trigger just separates the two like it should be in the first place:
>
Bob enters the room.
I want the #PRI there to ensure it gets done ahead of any other processing (ie., I want the separation to occur so that #TR {^Bob enters the room.} {#ECHO Bob is here} fires correctly).

Seems like the syntax checker has a problem with #PRIORITY. E-mail Zugg to make sure this gets entered into his bug database.
Even if the syntax checker had no problems, using #PRIORITY will not accomplish what you want. Triggers are not checked agaisnt the output of a #SUB command.
You can use this trigger instead:
#TRIGGER {^> (*)} {#GAG;#SH >;#SH %1}
which will make the other trigger fire. However, for some reason, the other trigger fires twice, so keep that in mind.

Thanks, didn't want to email it until it was confirmed as a bug and not a silly syntax error on my part.
I hadn't realized triggers wouldn't process on the #SUB... that saved me quite a bit of frustration, thank you. The #SHOW method seems to work fine so far, but I'll watch for the double firing effect. |
