Ok, what I want to do is run an alias that will "look".

Then what will happen is any text after trigger "%e[1;33m(%1)%e[0m." will be added to a variable.

Then when the line "You notice*" (Which is the end of the description) is recieved it will add all the contents of the variable into the room description.

There is also line breaks in the description so i need something that will successfully shuve em all together into the variable

Thanks, been tryin to get this to work for ages!

what i do have.. but cant get it to work is....

state 1 %e[1;33m(%1)%e[0m.

#var myvar {}
#TEMP {*You notice {exits|a single}*} {
#noop %roomdesc( , @myvar)
#STATE myTrig 0
}

state 2 (*)

#addi myvar %line

which is all activated, and look entered, by an alias. all this worked (i think) in zmud

so this is how it happens...

I run an alias that activates the trigger and look is entered

%e[1;33mROOM NAME%e[0m. (or whatever) is recieved and the temp trigger is made
then the 2nd state adds ALL TEXT RECIEVED to @myvar.
then the temp trigger fires at the end of the text (you notice exits north etc).
The triggers are disabled and the %roomdesc is added to the current room on the map

but the problem seems to be is that the 2nd state doesnt actually fire....

You will all be happy to know... i have done it!!!!! one final problem tho. heh.

to make it one long full description i need to delete the | separators.

What i get is

line one contents|line two contents|line 3 contents

what i need is
one contents line two contents line 3 contents

so this was my idea was this

myvarb = %subregex( %trim( @myvara), " ", "|")

but its causing cmud to freeze

myvara=%replace(@myvara, "|"," ")

Will replace | with spaces no need to use myvarb

You want it as one long line? I don't see the point, heh.
You might like this, though. If you want to be able to add multiline descriptions that are contained within your variable, you can use this:
#noop %roomdesc(%roomvnum(),%replace(@Myvar,"|","[%cr]"))
