When characters die on Imperian, IRE mud. A message will be shown,


Nick has perished from the deadly toxins of Gammon

For example.

Now, in Imperian there is no way to "Config Deathsight <colour>", so - I'm collecting all the deathmessages and trying to colour them.

And something went wrong on the way!

My triggers are simply;

* has perished from the deadly toxins of *

Send: %0
Send to: Output
Colour and style to: 11 (Orange)
-----------------------------

Now. If I check the "Omit from output" box, The trigger will fire, and show the text in -dark red-. If I leave the "Omit from output" box, it will give me two messages.
One dark red, and one with the colour I chose.

I am missing something far too simple here I believe.

How can I make it show my custom colour, and not the dark red?

The dark red one is the one you've sent to output. It is your note color (when you send to output, basically all you're doing is a note).

The color change dialog is to change the output line.

So, all you need to do is delete the %0 (and you should probably change the sendto back to world). Then you'll just color the line, and the trigger won't do anything else (don't omit it).

Doh. Of course!

Thanks a bunch!
