picking up stuff

[Trilliana]

Alright, with the help of the mudlet manual (yay for learning) I've gotten to the point that I can pick stuff up off of balance, but my problem is sometimes hunting in groups or walking in on someone killing something and a drop happens, I'll pick it up.

The only idea- which I've gotten from my husband whom only codes for cmud- is have a way to turn off the balance trigger to pick stuff up until I kill something and making it a temp trigger.

this is the script I have so far:

suggestions??

Edit and bump. I -think- I got it right, I just need to test it out more and am hoping someone tells me if and what I did wrong

[Trilliana]

pseudo-bump?

[tsuujin]

I solve this problem by only activating the collection trigger when I've actually slain something, and turning it off asap.

[Vadi]

The above xml seems to have come out of an editor in it's partial form

[Quazzi]

I copy and pasted it - how should i do it?

[Vadi]

Try saving it as a file and opening the file in wordpad or somesuch.

[Quazzi]

Hrm, i did. Lets try this.
