I need help creating a trigger that displays exits/objects that i find

mud syntax:

You find a hidden exit: cubbyhole
You found a small bag

I'd like a trigger that puts "cubbyhole" in a list called exits, however I'd also like the trigger to reset the entire list each time i search, and if there are multiple exits, it will put them all on the variable @exits. Then I'd like another list of objects found, also to reset upon each search. For the output, I'd like it to be "gt exits: @exits(each item on the list seperated by commas) objects: @objects(each item seperated by commas)

so,

search
mud output:
You find a hidden exit: cubbyhole
You find a hidden exit: west
You find a small bag
You find a small knife

triggered command:
gt EXITS: cubbyhole, west, OBJECTS: small bag, small knife

so for example if i search and find nothing, i dont want it to output the previous search results, and if i only find an exit, i dont want it to display the objects list

I appreciate any help in this matter, this is way over my head!

the command "gt" is to group mention something on my mud, i dont want it to give results of a search everytime i gt. i just want to tell my group mates any exits/objects i find after every search... also, i tried that code and it doesn't work properly, when i type "gt" it enters the same text, regardless of the results of a search

You didn't mention what gt stood for or when you wanted to use your information.

The alias gt can be renamed to whatever you like and the command #show replaced by the letters gt.

I placed the alarm trigger inside the search trigger to set it off.

If you do not type search, you will always get the same results each time you type gt I said that.

i said, i wanted the "triggered command" to be "gt EXITS:blah blah blah, OBJECTS: blah blah blah"

ok, so IF i find something WHEN i type the mud specific command "search" it outputs

You find an object
or
You find a hidden exit: exit

"gt" is a mud specific command that "group mentions" a message to people in your group... for example

on my mud, if i have people in my group, i type "gt hi"

it then says to them, minish1 group mentions "hi"

therefore, WHEN i type search, not any other alias, IF i find something hidden(because there is not always hidden things in the room i'm in), i want it to then trigger a command.... "gt EXITS: blah blah, OBJECTS: blah blah"

so when i tried the code you gave me, when i search for something, it effects nothing.... regardless of if/what i find... it always outputs the same things when i type "gt"

once again, i do not want any alias etc etc to do this, i want a trigger, that outputs a list of objects/items hidden in the room

Minish1 I'm sorry I just spent an hour typing a response and lost it because my login timed out.

change the name of the alias from gt to findtell

in the value of findtell
change

#echo to gt

In the trigger search change

#alarm +3 {gt}

to

#alarm +15 {findtell}

Given that I just lost an hours worth of explaining the why of these changes and it is after midnight here. If this doesn't help you I am sorry I give up. Ask your friends in the mud to help you if nobody else offers you help with my code or helps you another way. I'm done here Sorry.
