Whee, trigger questions =)

I've been trying to figure a way to do this, but I've been unsuccessful so far. I'd like to have a trigger call an alias when matched. If I set it to send to World, the trigger will just send '/blah' to the mud, as opposed to the running the alias /blah. If I set it to send to Command instead of world, it puts /blah on my command line, but doesn't send it without my pressing enter... is there something I'm just not thinking of here?

Thanks in advance. =)

It isn't really designed for triggers to call aliases.

The thinking there was that an alias is something you use to save typing (because you are in a hurry) but when you set up a trigger you have time to type in the full command.

Also, this avoids dependencies between triggers and aliases.

What you could do is have an alias call a script to do its stuff, and have the trigger call the same script, that way they will do the same thing.

Yeah, thats what I do, I just wanted to check if there was a way :) *grin* I play an LPmud, so the ever important boot-run is a botting festival :)

Thanks!
