hi,
i have triggers which capture my hpbar. when i'm fighting, the health status of the monster is shown and when i'm not, there's no status.

R:3/83% GH:H
R:3/83% GH:H E: close

E: close is already captured into a variable and gagged.
i want to perform an action on the round that "E: something" appears on the hpbar. 'something' can also be other things as the monster's health changes so i can't just set an expression trigger for the variable.
is there any way to do this?

Do you want to do this only with a specific value of "something", or any "something"?

basically, i want to perform an action on the round when my hp goes from having no enemy status, to having an enemy status. and the 'something' for enemy status is not always the same. so i guess, any 'something'.

So, when capturing and gagging that variable:

no, with that code, it'll fire every time the variable is something.
i only want it to fire on the round that the hpbar changes from R:3/83% GH:H to R:3/83% GH:H E: something.
the 'something' can be anything from another word to a digit depending on what i'm fighting.

so have a variable keep track of what GH:H is, and when you fire to capture the variable, test to see if it changed.

I can think of a couple other ways to do it, too. One would be to have a trigger watching for "E:" in the prompt, which fires the action, enables a second trigger, and disables itself. The second trigger then watches for a prompt without "E:" in it, enables the first trigger, and disables itself.
