That did the trick! It now works the way I want it too. Thanks, Nick and Twisol!

I am a bit nervous of backslashes in file names in send to script. It is easy to get the number wrong. How about:


if StealthMode and not Fighting then
  Sound( GetInfo (74) .. "claves.wav" )
end


That gets rid of them. GetInfo (74) is the default sound files directory, which is "sounds" under the MUSHclient.exe folder.

I have no other trigger on the pattern - You have recovered balance. I checked my plugin files also for that pattern.

If I just use the sound functionality provided in the dialogue, which would always play the sound on the match, the correct sound is played whenever the trigger matches.

It looks correct. Can you double-check that you don't have any other Sound() calls in other triggers that might be matching the line instead of this trigger?

Thanks, Twisol

When I do that, I now get the correct sound when I enter /Sound([[ .... ]]) from the command line.

I still don't get the correct sound when I make the script call in my trigger

\ is a special character, so you need to either escape it as \\, or use the [[ ]] quotes where \ is just a normal character.

Sound([[C:\Program Files (x86)\MUSHclient\sounds\claves.wav]])

Message
I have a trigger that I would like to selectively produce a sound:

if StealthMode and not Fighting then
  Sound("C:\Program Files (x86)\MUSHclient\sounds\claves.wav")
end

I've used the full path here, but I also tried just "claves.wav" and verified that path as the default to the sounds directory using GetInfo (74).

I get the default activity sound, not the 'claves' sound.

I get this also when I enter '/Sound ("claves.wave")' on the command line (/ is the default lua escape)

If I use the built-in sound mechanism provided in the trigger dialog, it works fine. I get the correct sound.

I've tried lowering the sequence number of the trigger as a workaround suggested on the forum in 2006 and it did not help. If the poster meant I should make the trigger fire after all triggers, then I'm not able to do that as I have many triggers already at seq = 10000.

Any suggestions?
