I would really like to be able to enable/disable entire trigger groups from the Configuration -> Triggers window. Yes, I can make an alias to do this but I don't want to make an alias for every group. Then I have to remember the aliases too.

What you can do is make an alias to do this for any group. Try this:


<aliases>
  <alias
   match="enablegroup"
   enabled="y"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>

  local triggers = GetTriggerList ()
  if not triggers then
    utils.msgbox ("No triggers were found", "Warning")
    return
  end -- if
 
  groups = { }

  for k, trigger in ipairs (triggers) do
    group = GetTriggerInfo (trigger, 26)
    if #group &gt; 0 then
      groups [group] = group
    end -- if has a group
  end -- for each trigger

  result = utils.listbox ("Choose a group", "Group?", groups)
  
  if result then
    enable = utils.msgbox ("Enable this group?", "Action", "yesnocancel", "?")
    print (enable)
    if enable == "cancel" then
      return
    end -- if cancelled
    EnableTriggerGroup (result, enable == "yes")
  end

</send>
  </alias>
</aliases>

For advice on how to copy the above, and paste it into MUSHclient, please see Pasting XML.

This finds all of your groups and then shows a listbox with all their names. At this stage you can cancel to do nothing. Otherwise, choose a group and hit OK. You then see "Enable this group?" with Yes / No / Cancel buttons.

Choosing Yes enables the entire group. Choosing No disables the entire group. Choosing Cancel does not change the group.
