Triggering single characters.
|
Can anyone point me in the right direction if I want to trigger to 1 character, but only if it's shown alone and not part of a word?
For example...
| Code: |
#TRIGGER {n} {#ADD ndir 1}
|
Except that causes problems by being set off by other text, and adds all the n's in a room description to @ndir. |

You can either use the regex "\bn\b" - \b representing a word boundary - or use the normal trigger " n ". The other thing you could try is a multistate trigger, or only activating the trigger once a keyword has been received (like "exit" or "obvious exit"). Another thing you could try if all the exits are on one line and that's what you want to capture is something like this:
#trig {There are %w obvious exits: (*)} {#if (%pos(n,%1)) {#add ndir 1}} |

Look into the use of %q. It's very similar or the same as the regex /b that Fang mentioned.
