https://mushclient.com/scripts/doc.php?function=StopEvaluatingTriggers implies that using StopEvaluatingTriggers outside of SendToScript _should_ affect other plugins, but that it just won't affect the current plugin. That's fine. That's what I want anyway. Except it doesn't work. The following two plugins together keep printing "test 1\ntest 2" instead of only "test 1"

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE muclient>
<muclient>
<plugin
   name="test_trigger_1"
   author="Fiendish"
   id="b0ba651e71e0c226a60ae8f1"
   language="Lua"
   date_written="2014-04-08 09:43:19"
   requires="4.90"
   version="1.0"
   sequence="-5000"
>
</plugin>
<triggers>
  <trigger
   name="all"
   enabled="y"
   match="^(.*)$"
   omit_from_output="n"
   regexp="y"
   sequence="100"
   script="test_1"
  ></trigger>
</triggers>
<script>
function test_1()
   print("test 1")
   StopEvaluatingTriggers(true)
end
</script>
</muclient>


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE muclient>
<muclient>
<plugin
   name="test_trigger_2"
   author="Fiendish"
   id="b0ba651e71e0c226a60ae8f2"
   language="Lua"
   date_written="2014-04-08 09:43:19"
   requires="4.90"
   version="1.0"
>
</plugin>
<triggers>
  <trigger
   name="all"
   enabled="y"
   match="^(.*)$"
   omit_from_output="n"
   regexp="y"
   sequence="100"
   script="test_2"
  ></trigger>
</triggers>
<script>
function test_2()
   print("test 2")
end
</script>
</muclient>

I think you are misreading the implications. As documented here:

http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=6554

"send to script" is done in step 12.

Running functions named in a trigger "script" parameter (not send-to-script) is done in step 20.

In other words, external function calls are remembered in a list, and then processed later. It is too late at that point for such a function to alter trigger evaluation (by doing "StopEvaluatingTriggers").

The documentation for StopEvaluatingTriggers says:

Quote:

This would have to be called from "send to script" (not send-to-script-after-omit), nor from a trigger script file, in order to be effective.

This is correct. There is no implication there that it can be usefully called elsewhere.

I'm talking about the part that says (emphasis added)

Quote:
Note that since calling a trigger script (script name in Script box) is done after all triggers are evaluated for that plugin, doing this inside a script file will be too late (for the current plugin). It has to be done in send-to-script.

That is just saying that each plugin (plus the main world file) are evaluated in turn.

So, script files are called when all triggers are evaluated in all plugins.

I think the documentation might be slightly misleading. "for that plugin" should probably read "for all plugins".
