To start: I'm trying to make it so I'll have a trigger active to send this to another window and omit it from my main screen, basically if it's being spammy but I might want to review what was said on the channel later.

I got the base plugin code from here:

http://mushclient.com/forum/bbshowpost.php?id=7991&page=1

The output from the channel is like this:

Your comms say, in a squeaky voice, 'I like bread'

Unfortunately I get this error whenever the trigger launches:

Trigger function "redirect" not found or had a previous error.

I did all the initial steps and made modifications to the trigger and the chat world name, so my current plugin file is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE muclient>







<muclient>
<plugin
name="Chat_Redirector"
author="Nick Gammon"
id="cb84a526b476f69f403517da"
language="Lua"
purpose="Redirects chat messages to another world"
date_written="2007-06-30 10:45:35"
requires="4.08"
version="1.0"

<description trim="y">
<![CDATA[
Redirects chats to the specified world.

Add or modify "chat" triggers to capture different sorts of message.

Change the variable "chat_world" to be the name of the world chats are to go to.

<trigger

<trigger

</triggers>



<script>
<![CDATA[
chat_world = "comms"
local first_time = true

function redirect (name, line, wildcards, styles)

-- try to find "chat" world
local w = GetWorld (chat_world) -- get "chat" world

-- if not found, try to open it
if first_time and not w then
local filename = GetInfo (67) .. chat_world .. ".mcl"
Open (filename)
w = GetWorld (chat_world) -- try again
if not w then
ColourNote ("white", "red", "Can't open chat world file: " .. filename)
first_time = false -- don't repeatedly show failure message
end -- can't find world
end -- can't find world first time around

if w then -- if present
for _, v in ipairs (styles) do
w:ColourTell (RGBColourToName (v.textcolour),
RGBColourToName (v.backcolour),
v.text)
end -- for each style run
w:Note ("") -- wrap up line

end -- world found

-- if ends with quote, end of multi-line chat
if line:sub (-1) == '"' then
EnableTrigger ("multi_line_chat", false) -- no more lines to go
else
EnableTrigger ("multi_line_chat", true) -- capture subsequent lines
end -- if

end -- function redirect

]]>
</script>
</muclient>

How can I fix this?

You should put code in code tags in the forum.

Probably only after the first time. What does it say the first time?

Hm. Okay. Now something really bizarre is happening.

I realized I had a regular trigger with the same capture as the trigger in the plugin. I deleted it, now it works and sends it to that world file, but it sends /everything/ Not just the comms message. How would I make it stop after the first comms message (preferably allowing for multilines)?

That particular script expects any chat to end in a quotation mark. See the part that goes:


-- if ends with quote, end of multi-line chat
if line:sub (-1) == '"' then
EnableTrigger ("multi_line_chat", false) -- no more lines to go

That is a pretty fragile expectation. Does your game server wrap chat lines at the server level or do all chats come through as single, very long lines that can then be wrapped by your client? If they come through as long single lines, you can get rid of the multi_line_chat trigger stuff. Otherwise I would check instead for a blank line or some other reliable indication of the end of a message, whatever that happens to be in your game.
