trigger pattern w/changing words
|
Is there any way to have a trigger capture something when it can change words? For instance....if I wanted to capture a word into a database when identifying an object, but the word could change with each item. I tried using the {var1|var2} thing. But I am not sure if I did it right...
Any ideas? |

Sounds like you want *, or [%w%s] if there's more than one.

no, thats not going to work....I should have mentioned it or explained better....there is a lot more in the identify info that comes up...I want it to catch the right thing, if I just used (*) it would catch the first word that pop'd up....I can make a list of words for it to catch...thats not a problem, I just don't know how to make it catch it and throw it into a variable and all...I have never had much luck with the {var1|var2} thing...

You'd just want to surround it with () to capture the variable, something like:
#TRIGGER {^You have a broken ({arm|hand|leg|foot})} {#VAR VarName %1}
Then all your DB stuff too. |

There is no substitute for actual MUD output. If you search these forums for appropiate words I am sure you will find numerous examples that are very close to your MUD's output. Failing that, you should post actual outputs of a number of varieties and then we may be able to offer better then vague suggestions.
