Ok, this is for 'the two towers' mud. What i'm trying to do is have it where when someone sends me a tell saying 'find (whatever the person's name is)', and I run the find on that person and send the person asking back the results of the find. It would look something like this:

Someone1 tells you: find someone2

find someone2

Someone2 is in South Rhovanion at The ruins of Osgiliath.
In the room: inside a tent.
Someone2 is not wanted.

tell someone1: Someone2 is in South Rhovanion at The ruins of Osgiliath. In the room: inside a tent.

Obviously the names and places will vary.
This is what I have so far:

Pattern: (*) tells you: find (*)
Value: do find %2

That will cause me to run the find on %2, obviously. I've tried a few things but with no luck. I can't figure out how get information back to the person that requested it automatically.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I'm fairly new at this stuff and have tried reading the help files and browsing zugg's site.

#trig {(%w) tells you: find (%w)} {#var finder %1;do find %2}
#cond {(%w) is in (*).$In the room: (*)} {tell @finder %1 is in %2 in the room %3}

I haven't actually tested this (I've stopped using zMUD in favour of CMUD) but it should still work. If it's going to stop working, the place it's going to do it is at .$In in the second trigger state. What you'll need to do is either save the location from the first line to another variable and make another state to capture the second one and send the tell, or make another state and send the info as two tells, so it'll look something like this:

#trig {(%w) tells you: find (%w)} {#var finder %1;do find %2}
#cond {(%w) is in (*).} {tell @finder %1 is in %2}
#cond {In the room: (*)} {tell @finder In the room %1}

EDIT: I also realised that you're going to want to create a trigger for when someone tells you to find an invalid name, to reset the trigger to its first state. You'll need to give the trigger an ID by changing it to #trig "idname" {pattern} and then use the #state command to reset the trigger :)
