Simple? MUSHclient Question(s)

Silea

I am trying to make triggers to react to emotes automatically.

For the trigger I have -> Finger extended, (\w+) pokes you.

I am unsure if that's even the right line, if it is how do I make a reaction for it? Or...can I even do that?

The following should do the trick.  Just copy it, then open your triggers window in Mushclient and use the paste button.  Obviously, feel free to change what is sent when you get that line.  I just wrote that as a quick example.

<triggers>

  <trigger

   enabled="y"

   match="^Finger extended\, (\w+) pokes you\.$"

   regexp="y"

   sequence="100"

  >

  <send>emote looks at ^%1 and slaps ^%1_him silly.</send>

  </trigger>

</triggers>

What if I wanted to return with the eye emote like 

Finger extended, Tarkenton pokes you.

and I wanted to send out

You give Tarkenton the once-over, eyeing him suspiciously.

You can see the emote lines by using EMSHOW.

Silea

I meant, I want to send EYE (whoever) if poked.

Tarkenton

In the send field, you'd put

eye %1

Thanks!

Not really asked for, but I can break down Tark's reply, so that it's more clear.

The RegExp was missing the ^ to start the line, the $ to end it, and you have to escape the punctuation, in this case the comma and period, by using the \. You also have to escape quotation marks so that the expression doesn't interpret them while it's running the rest.

The ^1% refers to the 1st captured argument, or what was in the (). Be careful using RegExp for reactions though, it can get spammy when people catch on, especially when they catch on and use illusions. Ask Neos what happened when I caught him auto-greeting novices back in the day.

Tarkenton

Just the %1 refers to the captured argument.  The ^ is for using the targeted emote system.
