i recently came back to playing and tried using a trigger for some reason it keeps firing intoo chat and not finishing the action.


<triggers>
  <trigger
   enabled="y"
   lines_to_match="3"
   match="^You slide in your probe into (.*?) and feel out the inside\.\n[A-Z][a-z]+\: Attempts to probe (.*?) \(picks [+-](\d+), (\d+\.\d+)\+(\d+)=(\d+\.\d+), (\d+\.\d+) Target\) \*progress\*\n  \.\.\. Clearly revealing its inner workings. '(.*?)' is your best option\.\Z"
   multi_line="y"
   regexp="y"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>pick %1 %8</send>
  </trigger>
</triggers>

You ooc '.. Clearly revealing its inner workings. '(.*?)' is your best option.Z"'

Interesting.

So I can test it, can you please post the three lines of text that are supposed to activate this trigger?

Slimke: Attempts to probe a cedar wood tattered chest (picks +1, 66.0+21=87.0, 0.0 Target) *progress*
... Clearly revealing its inner workings. 'skip' is your best option.

That doesn't start with "You slide in your probe into (.*?) and feel out the inside" so I don't see how it could possibly match.

Im not really sure its been years since ive played this mud but i had a previous post years ago where I had a line wrap issue in the code, but you corrected it and it worked. I've copied and pasted the same code and now get the end result of it finishing in the chat. :/

I apologize I missed a part.


You slide in your probe into a cedar wood tattered chest and feel out the inside.

It worked for me:


You slide in your probe into a cedar wood tattered chest and feel out the inside.
Slimke: Attempts to probe a cedar wood tattered chest (picks +1, 66.0+21=87.0, 0.0 Target) *progress*
  ... Clearly revealing its inner workings. 'skip' is your best option.


pick a cedar wood tattered chest skip



I suspect some other plugin is interfering with this trigger.

I tried it on a fresh profile, still having the same issue. its like its reading the last period as the command to shoot in chat at this point in the trigger \.\.\. Clearly revealing its inner workings. '(.*?)' is your best option\.\Z"

Also please copy/paste exactly what surrounds that text that triggers the trigger. Perhaps it is something to do with the context in which it appears.

What I mean is, what surrounds the text from the MUD?

If it isn't working for you, but is working for me, the context must be important.

Also, please respond to my question about what version of MUSHclient you have.

This can't be exactly what you are seeing. The line which should trigger starts:


5994hp 2813m 2758mv> You slide in your probe into a bone chest and feel out the inside.


However your trigger match text starts:


match="^You slide in your probe into (.*?) and feel out the inside


The "^" means "start of line" and your line starts "5994hp 2813m 2758mv>" - so when I test it, the trigger does not fire. Nor does anything else happen.

This is what starts the trigger, I had a issue previously last time with it doing the same thing, I had to do something to fix it I can't remember what it was it's been so long ago. I've had other players on the server try to help with it but we haven't had any success on it.

I suggest you make three one-line triggers, save the stuff you want, and take action when the third line arrives.
