spaced out multi line trigger
 
Is it possible to set up a multi line trigger, that is intterupted by a prompt and command entry? If it helps this is the text that I am working with.

There doesn't appear to be any room to cast that way.

You hold a short fishing rod in your hand.

<188/188hp 219/219m 317mv 6279>
<pp:0 st:0 sp:0 gp:1215 cp:5863 > fish direction
Your fishing line is not long enough.

given a text like this is it possible for a trigger to be started? I tried a simple multi line trigger but it did not work , any help is appreciated.

Multi-state triggers don't care about line location, unless you tell it to care about such things (ie, the Within Lines and Wait Lines states).

#trigger {You hold a short fishing rod in your hand.} {stuff you want to do here}
#condition {Your fishing line is not long enough.} {stuff you want to do here}

Is there any way to have a variable in the #trigger section, and have it useable in the stuff I want to do part of it in the condition area?

I thank you for all the help, I am just having some trouble figuring this out.

#trigger {You hold a short fishing rod in your (%w) hand.} {stuff you want to do here;whichHand=%1}
#condition {Your fishing line is not long enough.} {stuff you want to do here;#say I am using my @whichHand hand.}


I am not sure how the rules apply but you MIGHT be able to use %t1 where I placed the @whichHand in the condition, If that works then you don't need to even use @whichHand.

I think it's %t1 - that or it's %x1. They're numbered in the order they appear in the whole multistate trigger.

#trigger {You hold a short fishing rod in your (%w) hand.} {stuff you want to do here}
#condition {Your fishing line is not long enough.} {stuff you want to do here;#say I am using my %t1 or maybe my %x1 hand.}
