The question is, what have you done? The quickest method of letting us know is:


  1. Go into World Configuration -> Scripting and check "Enable Script", with the language set to VBscript.
  2. Type into the command window:

    /world.debug "triggers"

  3. Copy the resulting text from the screen and paste into another message here. This will show what your trigger is exactly, and what flags you have set.

You are going to have to give me more information than that.

If you really typed in:


Match on: <whatever matches the clan talk>


Then I can imagine it wouldn't work. If not, you need to tell me what you typed as:


<whatever matches the clan talk>


Otherwise it will only match on "<whatever matches the clan talk>" (literally).

To help me, copy and paste a line or two of channel messages so I know what they look like.

Ah OK.

If you checked "regular expression" then the square brackets have a special meaning. It will match on a single character, that character being:

"P" or "u" or "b" or "l" or "i" or "c"


The simplest solution is to *uncheck* "regular expression" and make it match on:


[Public]*


That means [Public] followed by anything.

Alternatively, keep it as a regular expression but make it read:


^\[Public\].*



The backslashes say to treat the brackets as normal characters. The "^" means "start of line".
