i've got some problems with my combat triggers. i want to trigger the output {you hit monster} and {you hit monster hard}. one trigger looks like {you hit *}. the other {you * hard}. on {you hit monster hard} both trigger come up, but only the second one should do. how can i solve this ?

If you're going to have two seperate triggers anyway, why not make them exactly what they are shown as?

ok, the problem is that {monster} could be everything, and one, or more words, so i need to use the *

Alright. How about

#TRIGGER {You hit *} {#IF %pos(hard, %1)} {} {command}}
#TRIGGER {You * hard} {command}

The first trigger will check for the word "hard" in the string, and if it sees it, then it'll do nothing, otherwise, it'll execute the command. Alternatively, if the string for "You * hard" would work just as well if it's "You hit * hard", then you can just slip that command in the empty {}, and have it work in the same trigger. You can, of course, use the same idea for different levels of hits by setting more #IF %pos commands, if so desired.

It would help if you showed what you intend to do with these triggers, so that we could see why you actually need two of them. The most likely reason is that you want to know what's being hit, so I've included #VAR commands for either case.

Assuming that you do actually need two different triggers, concentrate on what's different about them. The second one ends with "hard" (and probably a period). You then need to do something along the lines of what geniusclown suggested, although using %ends would probably be more precise.

#TR {You hit (*).} {#IF (%ends( "%1", " hard")) {#VAR target {%leftback( "%1", 5)};commands1} {#VAR target {%1};commands2}}
