Description
| Gets the current value of a trigger option.
You must specify the name of an existing trigger, and a trigger option from the list below. These are the same names as used in the XML world files for trigger options.
Note that you can neither get or set the "name" field. It is listed below for completeness in viewing triggers copied to the clipboard or in world files and plugins. You already know the name when getting the trigger option (it is TriggerName), and this function is provided to modify existing triggers, not rename them. To change the name of a trigger use ExportXML, modify the XML, and then ImportXML.
The return type is Variant, so the returned value will be the appropriate type for the data (ie. string or number (long)).
If the option name is not known, or is not allowed to be retrieved, a NULL variant is returned.
If the named trigger does not exist, EMPTY is returned. If the name given is invalid, NULL is returned. If the option name is not known, EMPTY is returned. (Use "IsEmpty" and "IsNull" to test for these possibilities).
For a detailed description about the meanings of the fields, see AddTrigger.
If GetTriggerOption is called from within a plugin, the triggers for the current plugin are used, not the "global" MUSHclient triggers.
To find options for other plugins, use GetPluginTriggerOption.
