I'm trying to use AddTrigger to add a trigger with, among other things, the 'Repeat on same line' flag set. The 'trigger_flag'-flags listed in the help-files don't mention any such flag.

Is that flag available? If not, is the constant I need available to be thrown in there 'manually' instead?

See this thread:

If you are using MUSHclient 3.80, it is simple, as the necessary code mentioned in the first post is now in a separate module. Thus you could do something like this:


require "addxml"
addxml.trigger {  match = "swordfish", 
                regexp = true,
                ['repeat'] = true,   -- repeat is lua keyword
                send = "hi there",
                sequence = 50,
                enabled = true,
                name = "boris",
              }

You could also add the trigger first, and then modify it with the "repeat" option using SetTriggerOption:

The addxml.trigger was a very neat solution that solved another problem of mine I had already forgotten about. Thanks!
