How do I get chat messages to trigger?

Question

This answer seems like it will work, but I have not had any success with getting rules to trigger via chat messages on the latest version of Firestorm.

I have verified that the actions work - I can just say 'cleanup started for Zora' or '/1111 <object-id>', but if I try to use the 'hearing message "cleanup started for Zora" on local chat', / 'hearing message <object-id> on channel 1111', the action does not get triggered.

Answer 1

When using the "hearing message" rule, the text has to match exactly so that the actions are executed. Make sure that there are no extra spaces and no typos.

For debugging, it is always a good idea to add an "Output message" action to verify that the rule was triggered.

I had already tried all of those things. These are my current rules. When I sit on the object referenced in the 1st rule, I say 'Sitting now'.

But I never get the 'ACK' output and nothing from the dressing rule fires.
