I was under the impression (having just installed this same snippet myself within the last week) that the triggers for the progs within void act went at the bottom of the function where the write_to_buffer call is at... That being the case, it's already being passed the formatted output w/ all names, short desc's etc in it... Unless you told the function call to pass the original variable that was passed to void act (instead of the formatted output that gets sent to the user)... Might wanna check that...

(opens) it would trigger for all of them(including things you would open in inventory. :P What I needed was for it to pass "opens a gold chest" or "opens a silver chest" Bascially the action and the obj->short_descr. In the mean time I just created a new type (TRIG_OPEN) and worked it in. It now works fine. Just so everyone knows ACT TRIGGERS will only work on the words it can decipher (ie opens gets says) This took a little poking about for me to figure out.

So wheres your problem your probably setting the prog up improperly.... Ever tried triggering it to $n opens $p? And see if that will que off the trigger? Explain what your trying to do a little more. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mervine, Keith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, May 20, 2004 9:39 AM Subject: ROOM Progs Greets, I am using the Room / Object progs snippet from Ralgha and I'm having a small problem. Instead of the p_act_trigger getting the correct argument from act_new its getting something different. It should be getting: Thalor opens a gold chest. When I snoop with GDB it is showing me that it is passing: $n opens $p How can I get it to pass the output (Thalor opens a gold chest) and not the literal translation of act_new($n opens $p)?
