i've tried with and without world. before the commands, and the trigger is set to execute.

1. it's helpful to say what exactly is not working, i.e. are you getting an error message.

2. Check the documentation for 'note':

AddTrigger

The documentation for the AddTrigger script function is available online. It is also in the MUSHclient help file.

In a nut shell, I want it to copy the quest name into the clipboard. I've written a small program using autohotkey to wait for clipboard changes, and reference the quest name against a database I have. Essentially bringing up a walk through for the quest. But when the trigger fires it just sends the command to the mud instead of parsing them. Sorry for the vagueness.

You want "send to script" not "execute".

Execute just sends what you have back to be re-evaluated as an alias (so it ends up going to the world).

You can get rid of the world. prefix.

Note starts with a capital N. So a more likely-to-work version is:


<triggers>
  <trigger
   enabled="y"
   keep_evaluating="y"
   match="^This quest is called \'(?P&lt;quest_name&gt;.+)\'\, for Adventurers levels (?P&lt;quest_min_lvl&gt;.+) to (?P&lt;quest_max_lvl&gt;.+)\.$"
   regexp="y"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>
SetClipboard ("Quest Name %1")
Note ("Quest Name %1")
</send>
  </trigger>
</triggers>

Just an update, this is what I finished with, I'm pretty happy with the outcome. Mainly because it works, however I believe I could 'DRY' it up some with further knowledge.


<triggers>
  <trigger
   enabled="y"
   keep_evaluating="y"
   match="^This quest is called \'(.*?)\'\, for Adventurers levels (.*?) to (.*?)\.$"
   regexp="y"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>Hyperlink ("browseto http://www.clanannwn.net/quest/search/?search=quest&amp;keyword=%1&amp;sort=questname", "Open Walkthough for the Quest Named '%1'","Opens a Link for the walkthough for the quest '%1'", "blue", "Lime", 0)
</send>
  </trigger>
</triggers>

And then the alias to run OpenBrowser, because I could not get it to launch via hyperlink


<aliases>
  <alias
   match="browseto *"
   enabled="y"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>OpenBrowser "%1"</send>
  </alias>
</aliases>

I'm very satisfied with it, anyone have any suggestions?
