StopEvaluatingTriggers function

I've been trying to use the function:
StopEvaluatingTriggers (true) in a plugin, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything.

I have plugin A which triggers on a certain line, omitting it from output and then using Simulate to recreate it again.

I have plugin B which also triggers on that line.

Currently, plugin B fires twice, once on the omitted line, and again on the Simulated line. I'm trying to get it to only fire on the simulated line. I added the StopEvaluatingTriggers function just above the simulate function in the script for plugin A, but plugin B is still firing twice.

Any help would be appreciated!

Can you show this trigger that stops evaluation?

Also, what order are the plugins evaluated in? See point 3 in:

Hmm, so any idea what the problem might be?

I want to see both plugins and the text they trigger from.

function cp_mob_dead (name, line, wildcards)

...

It triggers on

You receive 52 experience points.
Congratulations, that was one of your CAMPAIGN mobs!

Becomes ->

Yes, but StopEvaluatingTriggers stops evaluating the current trigger in the current plugin. If you Simulate something that would be a new trigger.

From the help:

Quote:

This causes trigger evaluation to stop, for the current line, and the current plugin. If not in a plugin, then all triggers in the "main" world trigger list stop being evaluated.

I see, thanks.

I guess I have to do some sort of plugin broadcast, and have a special skip so that it will only do 1 cp check?

Would appreciate any other suggestions way to fix the double triggering!
