Best bet is the last line:

<triggers>
  <trigger
   enabled="y"
   group="Writhebalance"
   match="^you go limp as the pain intermingles with indescribable pleasure\."
   regexp="y"
   send_to="12"
  >
  <send>if writhe = 0 then send &quot;writhe&quot;</send>
  </trigger>
</triggers>

I have no idea what variable you may want to set, though as near as I can tell, the set of triggers you gave ignores those things anyway.

ok, I tried just that trigger above....it doesn't work, but I did get this to work...
Trigger Field: In a sensuously fluid motion, * reaches out and draws you close, baring


Send Field: Writhe


thats seems to work....but is it as good as the one you wrote with all that extra stuff? I'm not sure if there's a difference....

The difference is only the 'if' statement in there, which is apparently supposed to begin the process of attempting to writhe out of something only if the message arrives and you are not already doing so. I am not sure that it matter at all, since the effect is probably the same.

As for all that extra stuff... It is the XML code for the trigger. I suspect you are doing:

Add...

Then trying to copy all the stuff into the Match: field. If so then "WRONG!". If you look at the trigger setup screen there are a mess of buttons, Add.., Edit, Remove, etc. On the far right are two buttons like:

Copy
-Paste- <-- this one dimmed.

If you 'copy' a trigger like I posted, as though you where copying it from one window to another, then the 'Paste' button should suddenly become active, since the clipboard (where windows puts things it is copying from one place to another) now contains a trigger. By clicking on that button, the thing you copied will be entered directly into the list of triggers, without you needing to use 'Add..' at all. Got it? ;) This lets you drop triggers directly in, along with all the complex settings, instead of entering every setting manually.

If you are doing what I think, then you are expecting mushclient to act like zmud and automatically convert everything you put into one box in the 'Add..' page into a complete trigger. Instead, mushclient will assume that all that stuff is the text you are looking for and will create a trigger that has no setting, sends nothing and will never match.

For your own it is easier to enter all the setting in using "Add..". It is a lot easier to see and change all the settings in there.

To copy one, to show on here for example, you can then select it in the list and use the 'Copy' button. That will convert the trigger to XML and place it into the clipboard, so you can paste it into other programs.

Glad you figured out what was hanging up the triggers I gave you. I threw them together off the top of my head while waiting for some monsters to repopulate, so was only paying half attention to what I was doing. lol I also had no way to test them, so.. Hope they are work ok. ;)

I'm using the same setup you did for me earlier, if I wanted fo the sent portion of the trigger to be

#if {@herbalance=0 AND @stun=0} {
outb ash
eat ash
}
herbalance=1
ash=1


How would I add that to the sent script part....

Usually all that sort of stuff is done in a master script, however I have been using send_to="12". In the Add.. dialog there is a selection that says 'Send to:', you would choose "Send to Script" from the list of options under that. Then convert the 'if' and stuff to VBScript and place it in the 'Send' box:

if herbalance=0 AND stun=0 then
  outb ash
  eat ash
end if
herbalance=1
ash=1


More complex stuff is better handled in the master script, which you probably don't yet have. Examples of how such a master script works are included with Mushclient.

You mean:


if herbalance=0 AND stun=0 then
  Send "outb ash"
  Send "eat ash"
end if
herbalance=1
ash=1

the herbalance=0 AND stun=0 whats this checking for?
does it only send it if another command prior to it has elapsed?

Well, if stunned you can't do those commands, so it prevents that. It also prevents it if you are already making the attempt. Out of context of the entire script and the actual mud events that it handles, I can't say for certain.
