| Ok, so after browsing around for a while.. I felt ready to try and set up my own script. I loaded up mushclient... connected to the world... created a new trigger...
Put in
BLahh * more blaaahh * blah.
Then went down to Scripts and put in
MyScript
I then went to the scripts, made a blank lua file and put in:
Sub Myscript (name, trig_line, wildcards)
local mobname = wildcards [1]
local experience = wildcards [2]
Say("That was a " .. mobname)
Say("I got " .. experience)
end -- of Myscript
After that I saved it. However.. when I try to test the trigger to see if it all works, I get the following error...
[string "Script file"]:1: '=' expected near 'Myscript'
Any tips?

| Have a look inside exampscript.lua which comes with MUSHclient. The examples there should help.
For a start, you declare functions with "function" not "Sub" (Sub is from VBscript). So the first line should read:
function Myscript (name, trig_line, wildcards)
Then these lines use a function that doesn't exist:
Say("That was a " .. mobname)
Say("I got " .. experience)
You need to "Send" the "say" command, like this:
Send ("say That was a " .. mobname)
Send ("say I got " .. experience)
Or if you meant to say it to yourself, use Note, like this:
Note ("That was a " .. mobname)
Note ("I got " .. experience)

| | Did you read the rest of my reply? There is no MUSHclient command "Say" - you need to use "Note". |

I'm getting calls to the script, but It's not sending back the responses... I recoded the lua to be
function Myscript (name, trig_line, wildcards)
local mobname = wildcards [1]
local experience = wildcards [2]
Send ("say That was a " .. mobname)
Send ("say I got " .. experience)
end -- of Myscript

| Well it worked when I tested it.
One thing to look out for is, after a script error, it disables calling that script function again, so you don't get the same error message many times.
You need to go to the Game menu -> Reload Script File. This forces the file to be reprocessed and clears any script errors for triggers.
I would also not put %0 in the "send" box as that is sending the matching line back to the MUD. Just leave it blank.
An alternative approach, which might be simpler, is to use "send to script" rather than using a script file. In this case you leave the "script" box blank, and put scripting commands directly in the trigger, like this:
<triggers>
<trigger
enabled="y"
group="Multi Line"
lines_to_match="2"
keep_evaluating="y"
match="(.*?) is DEAD\!\nYou receive (.*?) combat experience\.\Z"
multi_line="y"
regexp="y"
send_to="12"
sequence="100"
>
<send>
local mobname = "%1"
local experience = %2
Send ("say That was a " .. mobname)
Send ("say I got " .. experience)
</send>
</trigger>
</triggers>
Now the wildcards are just %1, %2 etc. inside the Send box. Note that you have to quote string wildcards (like a mob name).
