Hi,

I have many triggers under certain class.
They are used very rarely - I would need
to turn on the class only before command
I created

#ALIAS vi {
#T+ vitals
vitals
#T- vitals
}

It's not placed under class vitals. But
it doesn't work.

Any hints?

Thanks in advance

Don't expect triggers in the vitals class to work if you disable the class immediately after issuing the command. Your computer is much faster than the internet and you'll probably have the triggers turned off well before the command even reaches the MUD. Move the #T- command to something that's based on MUD output, or build in a delay with #ALARM.

Rough timeline
1. (#T+ vitals) vitals class enabled, triggers work
2. (vitals) command sent to MUD
3. (#T- vitals) vitals class disabled, triggers don't work
4. command arrives at MUD
5. MUD sends stuff back
6. output from MUD arrives. Since vitals class has been disabled for many microseconds, triggers don't work
