I need to set trigger for mud prompt. But triiger fires when prompt you send something to mud and prompt displays in output. For example:

<20/20 100/100 100/100> <--- HERE FIRES OK

say Hello
You saying: Hello
<20/20 100/100 100/100> <--- HERE FIRES OK

<20/20 100/100 100/100> <--- HERE NOT FIRES
------------------------------------------------

What i can do, to hook mud prompt?

Does the prompt occur everytime you send something? (and other times on its own, of course)

Can you copy/paste some output from the server here? We'll need to see the exact spacing of the prompt (use the [code] [/code] tags to keep the forum from eating whitespace).

I'am not a newbie in programming :-) And problem in other things. I'am from russian, so sorry for bad english:-)

look
131/131 154/154 115/115 3 | evil | "Underground" | 11587 | UD# 

131/131 154/154 115/115 3 | evil | "Underground" | 11587 | UD# 


131/131 154/154 115/115 4 | evil | "Underground" | 11587 | UD#

Mud address: aladon.sovintel.ru:9000

First bottom line is server prompt. When i send something to mud, prompt dublicates up to output and after that triggers fires. But! In this sample you can see, that in server prompt line time = 4, but triggers can't fire and set var to 4. When i send something to mud prompt sends to output and triggers fires.

Triggers are evaluated at the newline character (\n) so possibly your problem is that the line has not been terminated by a newline.

Yes. Prompt don't have new line symbol. And i don't think, that i can insert a new line symbol at the end of my prompt line. Can you add special trigger for hooking prompt line?

One of the key changes in version 3.66 allows you to add a carriage return to the end of most MUD prompts. You'll find an option to replace the IAC GA/EOR bytes with CR/LF bytes. Try that and see if it helps you with your triggers.

You can currently trigger the prompts (without the newline) with a plugin, and then either add the newline yourself, or just use the values.

that should get you started.
