I know that, in order to use triggers over multiple lines, you have to use the $ wildcard, eg.

#trig {You look towards the horizon and see a herd of $giant laser mutant space marmots heading $towards you!}

but is it possible to have zmud match this no matter where the new lines come? For example, have it match

#trig {You look towards the horizon and see $a herd of giant laser mutant space marmots $heading towards you!}

as well, or would I need to set up a new trigger to do this?

Text wrapped by Zmud is not considered multiple lines, i.e., assuming appropriate settings, the mud is likely to send "You look ... towards you!" all as one line, which is then word-wrapped by Zmud.

If the text is being wrapped by the mud, check your terminal emulation settings to see if you can change that.

I had the same problem some time ago when my MUD did not allow to switch off the option for max text length received from itself.
I tried to find repeating text in each line to make only one trigger.
For your case:
#TRIGGER {laser mutant*$*wards you!$}
Cannot test it however now.

The text isn't wordwrapped by zmud, it's done by the MUD. That's exactly why this problem cropped up.

Thankyou for the help, though. I'll try that.
