I while back I asked a similiar question and got a great answer, however now I am on a new mud and need some new help. I want to make a script that when I scan and it see's my target, it goes in that heading and direction. This is what my mud output looks like.

You scan north.
***** Range 1 *****
A gnome man is walking here, on his way to work.

<84/84hp 127/127m 212/218mv 754tnl> NESW You scan south.

<84/84hp 127/127m 212/218mv 754tnl> NESW You scan west.
***** Range 1 *****
A gnome man is walking here, on his way to work.

Of course there can be more then 1 range(this isn't the best example).
So I tried to make a multi-state trigger that would fire on:

#Trigger {You scan (%w)} {#var direction %1} [state 0]
#Trigger {~*~*~*~*~* Range (%d) ~*~*~*~*~*} {#var range %1} [state 1]
#Trigger {*@target*is*here} {#say @target bearing @direction range @range}

Of course as I soon found out this doesn't work because the trigger just matches (north) and then (1) everytime regardless of where the target is....any thoughts...your help is greatly appreciated.

Since you don't know how many ranges will be shown for a given direction, you don't know when to reset the trigger to the first state (state 0), so it's probably better to use multiple triggers.
#TR {You scan (%w)} {#VAR direction %1}
#TR {Range (%d)} {#VAR range %1}
#TR {@target * here} {#SAY @target bearing @direction range @range}
