okay changing to regular expression puts the item as "a bag"
so when it triggers the return to be "mend a bag", which doesnt work.

Well, not exactly as shown. I did not have "regular expression" checked, and you do have. Try doing without checking regular expressions.

Why did you change that, when it worked without it?

All you have to do is capture the line which tells you that you had problems mending <item> and mend it again, like this:


<triggers>
  <trigger
   enabled="y"
   match="You bend * WAY out of shape while trying to mend it!!"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>mend %1</send>
  </trigger>
</triggers>


Now make one of those for each message. Since it matches on a wildcard, it will apply to suits, swords etc.

well , by typing "mend suit" will prompt one of these responses
(not in any particular order):

"You bend suit WAY out of shape while trying to mend it!!"
"You brutally mangle suit in your attempt to mend it!!"
"You cringe at the condition of suit and you wish you had an anvil."
"You get out a huge hammer to repair suit."
"You get out a large hammer to repair suit."
"You get out a small hammer to repair suit."
"You work long and hard to make suit useable once again."

so for each of those (7) responses i made a trigger to send out "mend suit" again.

mending will either end in:
FIX IT:You look at an suit in amazement!!! It is obvious you have created a masterpiece!!

BREAK IT: The suit in your attempt to mend it and it is TOTALLY DESTROYED!!

so my problem is that for each item i mend i have to make a whole new set of these

eg;suit, sword, axe..

can i do it a simpler way?
thanks Nick.

Ah, if you want it to send mend something (that would be "mend %1" to mend the first wildcard) that is easy enough.


<aliases>
  <alias
   match="mend *"
   enabled="y"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>mend %1</send>
  </alias>
</aliases>


Template:pasting For advice on how to copy the above, and paste it into MUSHclient, please see Pasting XML.


But to send this until you *don't* get a message? You are you planning for doing that? Not getting a message can't trigger anything.

Do you mean, if you don't get the message "You buff and polish (whatever) a bit." within 5 seconds?

Did you look at all the "Getting Started" stuff? How about this?

triggers work fine.. but i cant get the script and varibles to work.. triggers and alias work fine..
i dont think i can get the wild card to work also.. is that possible?


They work but they don't work? Of course you can get wildcards to work. They are used extensively by many people.

This is all very vague without showing what you are doing, and what you are expecting to match.

Can you please copy and paste the trigger you are working on ...

If it calls a script, copy and paste the script. I presume it isn't very long.

also i dont know how to turn on the script.. in the script config page, under script prefixes its says (not active) how do i turn it on?
i tried to make a simple script comment to see it actually do something like get heal bag but it doesnt even run that..
been stuck for a while.
do you have a simple short script that works on a particular mud so i can compare and see what i am doing wrong?

It would help to see what you are doing, and then we can suggest improvements:

Template:bug Please help us by advising:
  • The version of MUSHclient you are using. Use the Help menu -> About MUSHclient.
  • A copy of the trigger, alias or timer you were using (see Copying XML)
  • The output from the MUD that caused the problem
  • The error message, if any, that you got (or other relevant output)
