Do it this way:

#trigger {~[Warrior %w~] (*)} {#speak %1}

Try changing Matt's trigger to look somewhat like your original one:
#trigger {~[Warrior %w~] (*)} {#speak %trigger}

Whoops. That should've been a quoted %1 ("%1") instead of unquoted--the quotes will allow ZMud to understand it needs to send the entire string assigned to %1 to whichever command routine called for it.

Dunno if %trigger would be a great idea, though. Doesn't it contain ONLY the trigger pattern that matched the last-fired trigger (which may or may not be this #SPEAK trigger)?

Now, if the entire line is wanting to be read (ie, channel name followed by channel message), perhaps modify the trigger like this (note, I don't use MUDreader so I don't know if #SPEAK can take multiple arguments like I have it set up):

#trigger {~[(Warrior %w)~] (*)} {#NOOP watch the %concat(), since I don't have ZMud in front of me to test it.;#VARIABLE speech %concat("%1"," ","%2");#speak @speech}

It contains the line that cuased the last trigger match, but I think it is highly unlikely that another trigger will fire before the #SPEAK command is executed unless the second trigger that fires, fires off from the same line as the first, and then this represents no problem.

As raks pointed out in his original question, using %trigger for these lines sounds like:
square bracket warrior prevail square bracket hello raks
and it's the square bracket he doesn't want to hear.

Try this, raks
#trigger {~[Warrior (%w)~] (*)} {#speak Warrior %1 %2}

Lightbulb, you get want i'm trying to do but your set up only reads "Warrior" that's all it reads.

MattLofton your first try only does as i said before

hello

now on your other post

works a bet better

#trigger {~[Warrior %w~] (*)} {#speak "%1"}

but that only reads the part that is sayed therefor i don't know who said it if

now on your last part i'm still trying to it figure out since i am not that experenced with zmud

quote:
#trigger {~[(Warrior %w)~] (*)} {#NOOP watch the %concat(), since I don't have ZMud in front of me to test it.;#VARIABLE speech %concat("%1"," ","%2");#speak @speech}

Try enclosing the phrase in {} then.
#trigger {~[Warrior (%w)~] (*)} {#speak {Warrior %1 %2}}
Since I don't use the Mudreader plugin I don't have the helpfile for #SPEAK and I'm just guessing at the syntax based on other commands. Looking it up would probably be a good idea. You may need to use "" around the phrase instead.
#trigger {~[Warrior (%w)~] (*)} {#speak "Warrior %1 %2"}
With a little experimentation, I'm sure you can find the right answer.

Oops, thanks LightBulb, I didn't catch that one.

raks, you should use LightBulb's second trigger then. If that fails, try joining all the parts together using %concat.

I thought you got it already...

Try this:

#trigger {~[(Warrior %w)~] (*)} {#speak {%1: %2}}

or this:

#trigger {~[Warrior (%w)~] (*)} {#speak {%1 the warrior says: %{2}.}}

Cheers
