Hi Darren,
No problem at all. It's what we're here for.
So first, grab the text you want to gag.
The ship shudders as its lasers are fired.
Then press control shift t. This will put you in a trigger list and the
start of the wizard. Tab to the add button to create a new trigger.
The first box you come to is the search pattern. This is where you paste the
text you want to gag. If you're working with a mud that places a prompt at
the beginning of the line, you'll want an asterisk before the matching text.
In Discworld, for example, some lines are preceded by a greater than sign,
so it helps to have that asterisk. You'll have to experiment to see what, if
anything, your mud requires.
So our line in the trigger search pattern box could potentially look like:
*The ship shudders as its lasers are fired.
Next, tab to easy script builder and press enter.
This will put you into a list box where you can select an action you want
the trigger to perform. Simply arrow to the command you want, then tab to
add and press enter. For some commands, such as gag, you'll find extra
controls when you tab. These will give you extra parameters for the command
you chose.
Once you click add, you'll be placed in a list box containing the commands
you have chosen thus far. If you tab, you'll be back on the command list. In
this way, you can assign multiple commands to a trigger. If you want to gag
a triggering line and also play a sound, you can do that here.
After assigning all of the desired commands to the trigger, tab to OK and
press enter. This will put you into a box where you can specify a few
additional things about your trigger, but since we're gagging text only, we
don't have to worry about them. Tab to OK and press enter again.
This will place us back into the window with trigger search pattern, and the
easy script button will have vanished. The first control you come to when
you tab will be the class edit field. Here you can type the name of a class
you want the trigger assigned to. Be aware, though, that if you use a class
for this trigger, the class will have to be enabled in order for this
trigger to work. If you leave the class field blank, the trigger will always
work.
The next control is match any case. If you check this, it will match the
trigger pattern even if the capitalization is different. Since you copied
the line directly from the mud, you shouldn't need to match any case.
The next control is color trigger. I have never used this because I have
color disabled, but you can if you like.
Tab again, and you're on one of two crucial fields. This is the box where
you determine which script file your command is placed in. By default, it's
set to unassigned, which would mean your script is not saved. Arrow down to
the file where you want this trigger saved, then tab again.
The next control is update script file. It should be checked by default, but
if it's not, make sure you check it. If you don't, the command won't be
saved.
Finally, tab to OK and press enter. Then tab to done and press enter again.
If you have done all that correctly, your trigger will be saved and active.
Please let me know if you have more questions.
Hope this helps,
Ryan

Hi,

So how exactly would I use the wizard?

Sorry for sounding silly I really haven't done this before.
