I would like to check if there are 2 consecutive lines with similar patterns between 2 prompts.
Similar now means * {@variable} * .
I tryed 2 way:
I made a trigger with (*) pattern, and in the trigger value i analyzed the line patterns. It worked well, except mud became slow (on a fast machine!).

My second way: i made two triggers, my first pattern is * {@variable} *, in the value:
...#t- firsttrigger;#t+ second trigger...
my second trigger is (*) pattern, and in the trigger value i analyze one line, then #t- secondtrigger;#t+ firsttrigger
I guess this should be faster, but my problem is the next:
When i test the triggers by enter a "xyz @variable xyz" type message,
first trigger fires, turn in second trigger, AND the second trigger fires TOO on the SAME line.
What should i do?

Learn about multistate triggers. Specifically within lines type condition. {Within|Param=1}

Would like to help more, but your examples are exceedingly vague. If you want more help, please provide more information. Are the *s and xyzs known values? Is/are the value(s) of @variable known, or do you wish to create a variable for every line which rolls over all lines constantly?

The * is wildchar, the @variable is a stringlist.
And yes, multistate trigger helped me, although i would not need a day for a trigger like this, if someone wrote good help files!

http://zuggsoft.com/library/trigadv.htm is a pretty good helpfile (and its linked to from the help file for zmud).

Let me ask another question.
I basically want count the battle rounds for various reasons.
Easiest way to do this, if look for 2 consecutive melee attack lines between 2 prompt line, then start again.
Attack line looks like * hits/shoots/cleaves/massacres and so on *
If he has a weapon with special ability and it fires, or he hit somebody with fire/ice/lightning... shield, then you get a new line with message, what you can gag, and check next line for melee attack. Because this
the {within|param=1} doesnt work.
I made the next multistate trigger:
state0:
* {@roundattackform} *
val: if there were 2 consecutive lines alredy (@rounds=2) then nothing (#state 0), if werent then rounds=1 and let state1 begin.
Also make a temporal trigger what fires on prompt line. (temporal trigger set #state 0, and check a few things)
State1:(*)
If %1 = any shield or special message, then #state 1 again,
if %1 = melee attack then round=2, #state 0
else round=0, #state 0.
----------------------------------------------
I dont want multiple temp triggers, so i start my state0 trigger with removing the temptrigger.
I get a system message, what is very annoying, because it spams the hell out of my screen in a big fight.
View/preferences/general/script parser, unchecked echo messages.
Now i dont recieve the spam, but when i use my aliases like #SHOWDB %1 , zmud dont display it.
How should i handle this?

It has to do the help file creation process. I got this solved for the next version of the help. I switched it around so that the help file actually tells zMud to issue the #URL command. Essentially the help becomes capable of being a plugin for zMud.

Wow, blast from the past. I am pretty sure I passed those particular changes along to Zugg a long time ago, so those links should be working. I just never got to really making use of the plugin API for some of the other stuff I was contemplating.

Dunno :(
Is the latest hlp file located on here somewhere? Thought I remembered a mention once before that they were.
