Color trigger issue
|
I am having a problem with Cmud.
I am using the Wizard to make a trigger that colors just 1 word on the mud.
So..
I press CTRL-T
Select "Change the color of certain words from teh MUD"
Press Next
Type [Rare]
Press Next
Select the color I want displayed
press Next
Confirm the trigger. #TRIGGER {{[Rare]}} {#CW "11"}
Press Finish
and nothing changes.
Anyone know what I am doing wrong? |

Umm, stupid question time. Are you generating new lines with the phrase "[Rare]" in it? Triggers are not retroactively applied to lines that appeared prior to the trigger creation, so obviously nothing would change when you press Finish.
Beyond that, you have too many sets of {}. If the phrase you want to color is "{[Rare]}", then you need to use the quote character on both the inner set of {} as well as the []. |

Well, that looks like an issue with the trigger wizard. If there's only one word you want to color, it probably shouldn't wrap it in {}, though it doesn't really affect it. The big problem is that it should be quoting special characters in the pattern. For the time being, this trigger should do what you want:
| Code: |
| #TRIGGER {~[Rare~]} {#CW "11"} |
|

absolutely nothing changes, and I am not writing the trigger, I am using the wizard.. so the program itself is writing that..

Try removing the quotes on the color number #CW 11 should work fine unquoted

Both work fine for me, in CMUD 3.34.... I actually do test all my code before I post anything here, FYI. I would never post something that doesn't work.

| #TRIGGER {{~[Rare~]}} {#CW 11} |
works for me here. Looks like the trigger wizard is not properly quoting special characters like [ and ]
The extra {} don't have any negative impact so it doesn't hurt to use them, especially if you later plan to add additional words to the color list.
Also, nothing will change on the screen until you receive new text with the [Rare] in it. |
