I have a question about the multiple line triger mathing in the 3.04 version of MushClient I've tried everything I can think of and they still don't work is there something I'm missing. All of my other triggers match on the right lines but the multiple I have doesn't work. could it be that the two lines I'm trying to match are different colors?

ex. I have a trigger I have been trying to make work that when I kill something it has the following.
A duergar is dead!!!
You recieve 200 experience points.

now what I am trying to match is the name of the mob and the experience I got from it like this

* is dead!!!
You recieve * experience points.

gtell I killed %1 for %2 experience.

the first line is usually red and the second multicolored would that affect or am I even using it right?

Ah yes, your problem here is that triggers match one line, and thus there is no such thing as a multi-line trigger. :(

However, you can easily achieve the same end result by using two triggers, and a bit of scripting.

First trigger

Match on: * is dead!!!
Send: (nothing)
Enabled: checked
Label: dead_label
Script: OnDead

Add the following to the script file:


sub OnDead (strTriggerName, trig_line, arrWildCards)
  world.setvariable  "lastdeath", arrWildcards (1)
End Sub

What this will do is "remember" the name of the thing that was just killed in the variable "lastdeath".

Second trigger

Match on: You receive * experience points.
Send: gtell I killed @lastdeath for %1 experience.
Enabled: checked
Expand variables: checked

What this does is send your message, using the variable "lastdeath" and the wildcard %1 being the number of points.

Ok, this may just be a problem with my scripting but it isn't caling the script on trigger am I doing something wrong again?

You need to enable scripting.

Go into configuration -> Scripting -> Scripts

Make sure the script language is VBscript, check "Enable script", make sure the "Script file" is your script file, and then it should work.

That works perfect thank you and MUSHclient is the best client I have ever used.
