when using the uncurse at the priestess, this is what i see:


A Benevolent Priestess gratefully accepts your 50 gold offering.
A Benevolent Priestess chants the phrase 'nnaprava cide'.
A Wave runner sword glows blue.


i want to trigger the "* glows blue".
but * glows blue doesn't work, and i have been reading all kinds of help files.
is this a multiline trigger that has to be a regular expression?

then ^*\n*\n* glows blue\.\n\z should be it, but that doesn't work either... :(

It helps to post your actual trigger that doesn't work, not just snippets of it.

You are right there, but the trigger is just:


heal uncurse


(it's send to world)

in a certain area i get a load of items that are all cursed. and to type the 'heal uncurse' every time, i want to trigger a 'heal uncurse' every time an item gets uncursed, until all are free of curses.

so to state my original question. how to trigger when there are multiple lines?
the examples aren't helping :(
sorry for the inconvenience.

That trigger I am referring to.

sorry i misunderstood.
but that is the whole trigger.
it's just a single stand alone trigger made in the trigger option.
or should i be making a plugin?
Mm1mark #5
what he means is what do have inside the trigger?
what do you send to world?
such as.



<triggers>
<trigger
 name="uncurse"
 match="A (.*) glows blue\."
 regexp="y"
 ignore_case="y"
 send_to="12"
 sequence="100"
 >
<send>
Send uncurse %2
end
</send>
</trigger>
</triggers>


ignore the lack of reg exp. using wifes comp.

I'm not sure about the game you play.
but is * glow's blue. the uncursed portion or the cursed portion.
if there are multiple cursed items how does it know which to do and which order? is heal uncurse what triggers priestess to uncurse or let you know whats cursed? sorry not familiar with the game just trying to figure out the beginning middle and end result.

game is aardwolf, just like it says in the title of the post.

when i get items from a kill or otherwise that are cursed, i can't drop them or remove them.
so then i go to the Benevolent Priestess, en type 'heal uncurse' to get the curse removed.
when the Benevolent Priestess casts her spell and the item gets "uncursed" it glows blue.
like the example in the first post.
but when i have multiple items that need to be uncursed, i want to trigger another 'heal uncurse' after the previous item is uncursed. in other words: when it 'glows blue.'

the thing is, i just type 'heal uncurse' and the game knows which item is cursed. so when there are no cursed items, the spell won't target any of my items, and it fizzles.
and no item will 'glow blue.' so the trigger stops.

after relooking at it.
where is the send_to= "" portion?
have you tried putting a "test" phrase in there to see if its matching on your trigger?

No, it isn't. We went through this in another thread.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Read it again.

If you are saying a trigger "doesn't work" post your trigger. Then I will see: <triggers> .... </triggers>.

"heal uncurse" is not a trigger. It is two words.

Right. Well I tried it:


A Benevolent Priestess gratefully accepts your 50 gold offering.
A Benevolent Priestess chants the phrase 'nnaprava cide'.
A Wave runner sword glows blue.
heal uncurse


It triggered. If by "doesn't work" you mean something else can you clarify?
Jsportive-Thalanvor Netherlands #13
that might be something i have no idea of.
since yesterday my vote trigger isn't working either.
i have a trigger that reacts to [*Time To Vote*], which worked for the last 5 days, except yesterday.
Jsportive-Thalanvor Netherlands #14
everything works now. have no idea why :P
but i do thank you for your patience,
and if i find why it didn't work for a while, i'll let you know.
