Nothing happens when the trigger message appears, even when I use my mud's echo command or MUSHclients ctrl+shift+f12 feature. Any ideas?

I don't believe you need the double square brackets, I don't believe you need brackets at all for such a function call.

world.Note([[world.GetVariable("greytimer") ]]..world.GetVariable("greytimer"))

Should be...

world.Note(world.GetVariable("greytimer") .. world.GetVariable("greytimer"))

The double square brackets create a string. I'm assuming that he chose to use them to print out what he was printing, followed by what the value of it was.
e.g. it would print:
world.GetVariable("greytimer")1

Unfortunately, I'm not sure what the problem is, though.

Heh, I had triggers disabled in the trigger menu. For some reason I thought that plugins were unaffected by that option.
