This is probobly a pretty simple question considering that all the other stuff people have been asking is way over my head..

is there a way that I could have a trigger that would say stun someone from a list, if they were to walk into a room, a variety of ways..

(also I have no idea how this list would work.. would it be a database or a variable or something? I dunno)

for example..

I had a list of names:

Ugh
Percival
Phrexian
Dyne
Dante

and a list of endings..

flies in from
stalks in from
lumbers in from
arrives from
sneaks in from

could I get a return like..

Percival flies in from the west.
[stun percival]

-?
I dunno if that's possible.. or if the solution would be too complicated for me to understand or what..

if you'd be kind enough to help, I'd be very appreciative,
Ill

All of this goes in the command line, the same place you type stuff to the MUD. The first part makes your list, it's a variable. The trigger uses the list like a wildcard.
#ADDITEM stunlist {Ugh}
#ADDI stunlist {Percival}
#ADDI stunlist {Phrexian}
#ADDI stunlist {Dyne}
#ADDI stunlist {Dante}
#TR {^({@stunlist}) * from the} {stun %1}
