Description

Gets details about the specified trigger.

For a detailed description about the meanings of the fields, see AddTrigger.

This function does not appear to work when using Jscript or PerlScript, so if you are using those languages you should see GetTriggerInfo instead. See below for how it works with Lua.
VBscript example 
dim trname
dim trmatch
dim trresponse
dim trflags
dim trcolour
dim trwildcard
dim trsoundfilename
dim trscriptname
dim iStatus

iStatus = world.gettrigger (trname, trmatch, trresponse,_
      trflags, trcolour, trwildcard, trsoundfilename, trscriptname)
Jscript example 
// Use GetTriggerInfo when using Jscript
PerlScript example 
# Use GetTriggerInfo when using PerlScript
Python example 
# Use GetTriggerInfo when using Python
Lua example 
local status

local match
local response
local flags
local colour
local wildcard
local soundfilename
local scriptname

status, match, response, flags, colour, wildcard, soundfilename, scriptname = 
 GetTrigger ("mytrigger")

print (match, response, flags, colour, wildcard, soundfilename, scriptname)
Lua notes 
Lua does not let you call by reference, however it can return multiple results.

Thus GetTrigger is implemented to return the various fields as a multiple-return result, 
as shown in the example above.
Returns eInvalidObjectLabel: The trigger name is not valid
eTriggerNotFound: The named trigger does not exist
eOK: completed OK
