I have an equipment database running, which is a modification of the one that comes pre-setup in Zmud. I also have a number of autocapture triggers setup to autoid objects from the mud (Fox Mud). So I have a number of objects within the database, my problem is this. From time to time, a number (or sometimes all) of the records have thier name field changed to 0. It seems to be random, I can't seem to pin it down to any particular function. I have a sneeking suspicion that it is related to my autocapture triggers, however I thought I would check to see if others have this problem before I dig in for what could turn out to be a bunch of work debugging my triggers...

Oooh, FoxMUD. Is that at foxmud.com:4848 the one run by Sygis? If it is post your id triggers and I'll figure out what is going wrong.

Yes it is... Sygis is the man.
Here are my triggers, I have them tied to an identify alias that enables/disables these triggers for a 5000 count.

Here is the alias
#LO autoidbackup.txt
#class autoid 1
#var actemp ""
#var item ""
recite identify %1
#var item.whoid %char
#var item.iddate %time( mm/dd/yy)
#wa 5000
#IF (!%null( @Item)) {#NEW All @Item}
say @item
#class autoid 0
#VAR dbCompare %query( ((&Object=@dbItem.Object)&(&Craftsmanship=@dbItem.Craftsmanship)&(&Armor=@dbItem.Armor)&(&Flags=@dbItem.Flags)&(&Affect=@dbItem.Affect)), dbType)
#VAR dbDoesExist 0
#IF (!%null( @dbCompare)) {dbDoesExist=1}
#IF (@dbDoesExist) {#YESNO "This record already exists in the current Database. Are you sure you want to add it?" {#NEW All @dbItem} {No:#NOOP}} {#NEW All @dbItem}
#lo
ff @item.name

Here are the triggers...

We generally discourage the use of #WAIT so consider turning it into a temporary #ALARM
#ALARM +5 {#class autoid 0}
can be put directly after
#class autoid 1
and you can then remove
#wa 5000
and
#class autoid 0
from the script.

The following statement is always going to evaluate to true due to you setting @item a couple of lines earlier
#IF (!%null( @Item)) {#NEW All @Item}
if you definitely always want to create a new db record then just put #NEW All @Item in on it's own otherwise you need to rethink your logic.

You may as well turn the following
#VAR dbDoesExist 0
#IF (!%null( @dbCompare)) {dbDoesExist=1}
into
#IF (!%null( @dbCompare)) {dbDoesExist=1} {dbDoesExist=0}

Where is your compare getting it's information from since @dbitem seems to be outside of what you have given me as I can't see it being set anywhere? Do you ever get asked the yes/no question? If you never get asked it even when doing an id on an item that is in there then your compare needs looking at otherwise no worries.

I would remove the following unused triggers
#TRIGGER {It has 10 (maximum 10) charges of level 10 `enduring spirit'} {}
#TRIGGER {pirit'} {}

Other than my suggestions I can't see anything that would be causing issues.
