Trigger option for Repeat Within Line
|
Anyone able to explain how to use the Repeat Within Line option? I'm unable to get it to work. It only matches the first occurance.

I dunno if it's bugged in the public version, but let's say that your game lists the WHO list in a comma-delimited list format:
Tom, Dick, Harry
and that you want to highlight your friends' names. Normally, a pattern only matches once per line, so if you have more than one friend on a line then anyone beyond the first won't get highlighted. That's what this option is for, it (recursively?) parses the pattern until all matches are found and processed.
#trigger "friends" {{Tom|Harry}} {#cw green} dunno where the option for repeat within line goes, but make it checked |

Well that is what I thought. I'm actually on 3.12 but it is not working. It was only matching the first occurance of the pattern. The actual line is a comma delimited line of inventory. I just wanted to make sure I was using it correctly.

Okay I figured out the problem. It works but it won't work in a multistate trigger. I have a multistate trigger and the second state is the pattern I want to repeat within line. I have it set to within lines 1. It will only match the first occurance and stop. If I just make a plain trigger and set the option to repeat within line it works fine. Except I don't want to have to constantly enable disable it and a multistate trigger would be much easier. |

Confirmed.
Not all trigger-state types are compatible with multi-state triggering, though, so this could very well be a case where certain trigger options like Repeat Within Line also intentionally do not work in multi-state triggering. We'll see what Zugg says when he comes back.
In the meantime, go ahead and put in a Feedback ticket about the issue. Be sure to be descriptive and include both a specific example of what you're trying to do and a link/reference to this thread. |

I remember Zugg already saying that particular option only works on #TRIG and not on #COND.

That is correct...it won't work with trigger states.
Also keep in mind that both the #CW and #SUB commands already internally loop through multiple matches in a line so you don't need to add the Repeat Within Line options to those trigger commands. |
