I have this command in a script and it ain't responding
#TRIGGER {You take out some salve and quickly rub it on your *.$} {salvebal = 0}
#COND {You messily spread the salve over your body, to no effect.$} {salvebal = 1} {within|param=1}
now , the problem is...it does cure the arm / leg
but then it keeps applying the salve to no effect.
Do I need to change any settings in ZMUD ver 7.05 to make this line affective {within|param=1}
I can not narrow down the problem, although I feel it's not picking up the next line---> #cond command.

This trigger looks correct. The real problem is that you have a script which is continuing to apply salve after your arms and legs have already been healed. Neither state of this trigger has an "apply" command, so it isn't the culprit.

I would guess that salvebal is a variable which you are using to control whether you apply a salve immediately or wait. This #TRIGGER sets salvebal to 0, so I would further guess that 0 means wait and 1 means apply without waiting. The #CONDITION sets salvebal back to 1, presumably allowing immediate application of another salve. I would guess that this is because your arms/legs didn't need healing, so your salve didn't do anything, so you aren't forced to wait before using another salve.

You don't need to change anything for {within|param=1} to be effective. That means, "if a matching pattern is received within 1 line after the previous state, perform the commands in the value of this condition and go on to the next state. If a matching pattern is not received within 1 line, reset the trigger to state 0". Since there are only two states, and the parameter is 1, the trigger will be returned to state 0 whether the next line matches or not. The only difference is that the variable, @salvebal, will be changed to 1 if the next line matches.
