Hi.

Scenario: I want to make a trigger for some protection spells with the syntax of:

You are looking for a multi-state trigger.

This is essentially a way to string triggers together. You'd likely use the first state to capture the chant and set a variable, and the second stage would look for the message you receive. You can put a limit on the second stage so that if it doesn't receive a message within a line or two it will simply reset since the spell wasn't cast on you.

Hmm, I suppose I'm mucking up the syntax somewhat, because this doesn't work. (I specifically made the trigger to work when i cast it on myself for this testing stage)

The variable MIPOI stand for minor poison (resistance spell) and the trigger is supposed to color it either green or red to indicate whether it is up or down atm.

Edit:The #COND part of the trigger is the part that's not working.

Edit edit: I removed the space between #COND and the { } and now it works (the example had a space between them).
Thanks for the help :) greately appreciated

It works perfectly according to what i want it to do, but it also now gives an error msg: "ERROR: Trigger "%1 chant 'Meiyou Du De.'" fired but did not compile"

Edit: turns out it was the space I inserted between #COND and { }, and that what really solved it earlier was a typo mismatch in the trigger pattern. "chant" vs "chants".

Alright, so now it works without giving any error messages :)

A new problem arises with this method - some times when the 1st trigger triggers it creates a new 2nd trigger, leading to en endless string of new 2nd triggers nesting themselves below the 1st trigger in settings.

I'm not sure what triggers this, because it doesn't happen every time, I've cast the spell 5 times now and got 3 new 2nd triggers nested below the 1st trigger in settings. Also these secondary nested triggers persist when i exit and reopen cmud.

Edit: I think I solved this now, need to test a few times to make sure - it appears that this occurs only when the trigger window is focused, and that when I close the trigger window it doesn't pile up with nested 2nd triggers like this.

Edit edit: I was wrong, it nests the 2nd trigger forever even when the trigger window is not focused, I somehow have to figure out how to make it stop doing this, or delete those "extra" triggers - I reset everything and cast the spell 7 times, this resulted in 4 "extra" 2nd triggers nested below the 1st in setting window

5 in 9 now, it's just slowly collecting "extra" 2nd triggers

#CONDITION on its own will attach to the last defined #TRIGGER, therefore it is recommended to only be used from the command line when first creating a trigger.
It should never be in the body of a trigger.

To make a multistate trigger from the GUI, there is an arrow on the "NEW" button that you can select new trigger state from.
