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.
