See further down for a video podcast demonstrating how to do this.

You may see on the forum, in emails, or elsewhere, triggers, aliases or timers in XML format, like this:


<triggers> <trigger custom_colour="2" enabled="y" group="eat_drink" match="You are thirsty." name="thirst_trigger" sequence="100" > <send>get flask bag drink flask put flask bag</send> </trigger> </triggers>

To use them copy the entire text (from, and including <triggers> ... </triggers>) to the Windows clipboard. (Or, <aliases> or <timers> as the case may be).

Important: - the <triggers> line is required (and the corresponding </triggers> line).

Then go into the MushClient triggers configuration window (if you have a trigger on the clipboard), and click the "Paste" button, like this:

The trigger will now be pasted into the trigger list, and you can edit it:

Once you edit it you will see the trigger as if you had entered it yourself:

An alternative method of pasting, which may save a couple of keystrokes, and which is useful if you have triggers and aliases to be pasted, is to use the File -> Import menu.

You will see a dialog like this:

The "Clipboard" button will be greyed out if there is no valid XML information on the clipboard.

Simply click on the "Clipboard" button and you will see a confirmation dialog of how many triggers, aliases, timers etc. were imported, like this:

If the trigger (or alias, or timer) does a "send to script" then you also need to ensure that scripting is enabled.

You can tell by looking next to the "Send to:" label in the trigger/alias/timer. If you see the word "Script" then it is using scripting.

To enable scripting go to the World Configuration dialog -> Scripting section, and check the "Enable Script" checkbox.

Template:scripting Scripting tutorial

There is extensive information about scripting in MUSHclient at http://mushclient.com/scripting. This includes screen shots and examples.



You also need to check that the appropriate script language is selected. Nowadays a lot of scripts use Lua, but if you are in doubt read the forum posting for a clue about the script language.
