This has probably been covered to death, but I'm new to zMUD and this kind of trigger or script or whatever it's called. I've looked through everything I could find on the forums, in the finished scripts, and all the help files in zmud, but I'm still lost as to how to make it work properly. Anyways, what I want is, all the tells, tell replies, OOCs, and clantalks put in a new window, and hopefully in color. If somebody could show me how to make, or point me to a website that shows how to do this in depth that would be great

Channels look like this:
Someone tells you 'Hi!'
Someone replies 'Hi!'
[Someone on ClanTalk] 'Hey.'
Someone OOC's: something

Thanks in advance for any help that can be given.

I am also having trouble with this trigger:

Pattern:
--> %1 was BRUTALLY KILLED by %2 at %3

Value:
gecho {RM{ru{Rr{rd{Rer{D, {RD{re{Ra{rt{Rh{D, {RK{ri{Rl{rl{D:{B %1 {Wjust got killed by{R %2{x

But nothing happens, I had this trigger working fine at one point, but then I must have changed something, I don't know what, because I've gone over everything a hundred times, deleted and remade the trigger, and all that, but still nothing.

I also get a syntax error, from that value, but that doesn't seem to matter because I have other triggers that have syntax errors and still work.

#TR {{tells you|replies|on ClanTalk|OOC's}} {#CAP Chats}

use (%w) in place of your %1-3 in the pattern

the sytax error is prolly from all the open {'s

It seems to partially work. It opens a new window like I want, but whenever it sees the channels, it puts:

[{tells you|replies|on ClanTalk|OOC's}-> #CAP Chats]

in the new window, and not what was said. Do I just input that string you gave me in the command line? I'm sorry if there was something else I'm supposed to do with it, but as I said, I'm completely new to this kind of thing. Only been using it for a few days.

Also, the trigger with (%w) still does not work. I'm thinking maybe I messed with some pref that I haven't found yet because that's the only thing I can think of to make such a simple trigger not work.

And yet another question, I'm sorry to be such a newbie.

Is there a #command to turn on/off a certain trigger? I don't want them all off, just a certain trigger.

For turning a certain trigger on/off, you can give it an ID (Find the trigger, go to options, there's a field there for ID). Then, #T+ triggerID and #T- triggerID will turn on/off the trigger.

Yes, just put Shalimar's string in the command line.

Pattern:
--> (%w) was BRUTALLY KILLED by (%w) at
Value:
gecho ~{RM~{ru~{Rr~{rd~{Rer~{D, ~{RD~{re~{Ra~{rt~{Rh~{D, ~{RK~{ri~{Rl~{rl~{D:~{B %1 ~{Wjust got killed by~{R %2~{x

EDIT: Added parens

Thanks peoples, the chat thing works great. But I'm finding it's to spammy, heh. I'll figure out how to make them each go to their own window myself though. Shouldn't be terrible hard.

What was making it not work was that I had checked Show Triggers in the script parser. So yeah, thanks for the help.
