Hi,

I am a bit of a moron with computers but i have set up a whole load of triggers to move me around an area.

I have noticed sometimes the trigger fails? usually when the lines are moving really quickly.

How do i solve this?

if the trigger was

*is wobbling around*

and the send command is

move forward

Thanks

It would help to copy and paste the trigger here, plus a sample of the output which fails.

For advice on how to copy aliases, timers or triggers from within MUSHclient, and paste them into a forum message, please see Copying XML.

What do you mean by "fails"? Doesn't fire at all, or does something unexpected?

It would be helpful to wait until it fails, and then copy/paste the output from the MUD which does not trigger it (including surrounding lines).

Perhaps there is another trigger which happens to match that line (eg. at the start). Try making your trigger here have a lower sequence number (eg. 10) so that it fires first, before other triggers.

You should try disabling all other triggers and plugins to find out what this one does.

ill start going through them slowly but surely then.. some 300 to get through, i use them to auto hunt over a wide area. many of them seem to fail but it always seems to be the longer that they are running the more they fail. i wonder if its because the text is moving so fast?

Try turning Trace on (Game menu -> Trace) and see if any other triggers are firing, or something odd is happening. You should see something like this:


There are four obvious exits: journey north, journey east, journey south and journey west.
A pink cloud is floating in the air here.
TRACE: Matched trigger "*A pink cloud is floating in the air here."
forward
{+4060 XP}

The client can handle lots of incoming data. It will probably be the interaction with something else.

Hi, since i have turned trace on and turned all my plugins off (because of the spam) it seems to have sorted the issue!.. ive been about 10 hours and not missed a trigger

thanks so much!
