I searched the forums and couldn't find this topic.

SO, I like to color code my channels separate from the MUD default channels.

The trigger: You tell * '*'


It works for personal tells, and if I sent my pal Bozo a tell, it colors is as I want. However it interferes with group chat, which looks like:

Trigger: You tell the group '*'

The first * is intercepting "the group", which is what's messing me up.

Any way to make a simple trigger that will delineate "the group" from people's names?

Oooh. Does *TEXT* work or will that screw me up elsewhere? Like...

trigger: *tell the group*

??

The simplest thing would be to make the more specific trigger "You tell the group '*'" have a lower sequence number (eg. 90) so it fires first. That stops the other trigger from firing.
