Also be aware that if you are posting triggers (or aliases/timers) onto this forum, and using Forum Codes, then you need to be aware that the forum converts certain formatting sequences (like [i] for italics, [quote] for quoting, and [code] for code sequences). If you use such things in your trigger/timer/alias they will be mis-displayed.
To avoid this,
if you are posting on the forum you should "escape" out square brackets and backslashes. Fortunately MUSHclient gives you a menu item to do just that. See the Edit menu -> Convert Clipboard Forum Codes (Shift+Ctrl+Alt+Q).
So, for posting on the forum do this:
- Copy the trigger/alias/timer using the Copy button
- Close the world configuration dialog, so you can use the normal MUSHclient menus
- Press Shift+Ctrl+Alt+Q to convert Forum Codes - you will get a dialog confirming how many were converted (it might be zero)
- In your forum posting, type [code]
- Paste in the converted trigger/alias/timer
- In your forum posting, type [/code]
- You are done!
The forum automatically detects the word "[code]" in posts, and turns Forum Codes on for you, so you don't need to manually do it.
The use of Forum Codes, in particular the [code] ... [/code] tag sequence is recommended, as that preserves the spacing of the original. Thus the trigger above, when posted to the forum, should look like this:
[code]
<triggers>
<trigger
custom_colour="2"
enabled="y"
group="eat_drink"
match="You are thirsty."
name="thirst_trigger"
sequence="100"
>
<send>get flask bag
drink flask
put flask bag</send>
</trigger>
</triggers>
[/code]
You will only see the forum codes when you make or edit the post, when the post is displayed they disappear because they are being acted upon by the forum.
