I have been trying really hard to write a script for a mud i play. basically if you die in it you lose stats and i dont wanna lose stats.. so i wanna make a script so when my health goes under 1500 i do certain actions, the prompt is 2 lines and looks like this

<Health [4,180] Armor [240] Energy [32,228]>
<Powerlevel [45,814,694/45,814,694]>

and this is the script i have come up with

#TR {~<Health [(%n)] Armor [(%n)] Energy [(%n)]~>}{#IF (%1 < 1500) { w;w;#wait 80000;gstat cha;e;e }}{} {nocr|prompt}

now i have no idea what i'm doing wrong, but i'm getting no response out of it whatsoever.. i've tried putting different things into the trigger field and syntax field.. and i've tried putting everything into the syntax field, i've changed options and stuff around i just cant work out what todo... i'm not sure if the fact that the health part has a , in it makes any difference, but any help would be greatly appreciated..

Thanks

looks like the [] are part of the text. [] denote range patterns in trigger patterns, and since you aren't quoting them are removed when evaluated. You're ending up with a trigger pattern like this:

<Health 4,180 Armor 240 Energy 32,228>

Put a tilde in front of each [ and ] and your trigger should match.

EDIT: also, the use of #WAIT in triggers is a really bad thing

ok so i've changed it to this

#TR {~<Health ~[(%n)~] Armor ~[(%n)~] Energy ~[(%n)~]~>}{#IF (%1 < 3000) { w;w;#wait 80000;gstat cha;e;e }}{} {nocr|prompt}

and i still dont seem to be getting anywhere, it just doesnt seem to trigger, i got a question
what am i supposed to put into pattern and what do i put into syntax.. now i tried putting everything into syntax
and leaving the name of it blank, but that didnt do anything, i also tried putting the whole script into pattern but that didnt do anything
and i've tried breaking up the prompt part into pattern and the action into syntax area.. i hope that sheds a little more light on the subject
and again any help would be greatly appreciated..

Thanks

You seem to be missing spaces in between curly braces }{, though that could be just the way you posted and not part of your script. Also, I recommend against using #WAIT, especially for such a long delay. Use #ALARM or a #CONDITION (to add a second state with the Wait type) instead.

<Health [4,180] Armor [240] Energy [32,228]>

#TR {^<Health ~[(%d)~] Armor ~[(%d)~] Energy ~[(%d)~]>}

Might possibly work. Problem you might be having is the value of health having a non numbered comma.
#IF {%1 <= 1500} {commands}

why did you change the trigger pattern?

#TR {~<Health ~[(%n)~] Armor ~[(%n)~] Energy ~[(%n)~]~>}{#IF (%replace(%1,",","") < 1500) { w;w;#wait 80000;gstat cha;e;e }}{} {nocr|prompt}

I would try this.

always anchor then with ^ so they arent triggered if someone else is telling you their statistics. also to prevent abuse. Some people who just have no integrity would use this to force you to (SLEEP or cast) because you have triggers to take action when your stats are low. People always find a way to try and exploit others.
