my problem is that i cant get more than one word of text to a single ver

mud output

You order Peacekeepers to engage The Night Creepers

I went something like this
#trigger {You order (*) to engage (*)} {#var enemyarmy=%2}

however this doesnt work and all i end up getting is the enemyarmy var = The and then Night as a class

It's because your syntax is incorrect.

#var enemyarmy %2

OR

enemyarmy = %2

One or the other, never combined like you've got.

Gamma, that is part of the problem and the Cmud way of doing it. In Zmud you need to do this

#var enemyarmy "%2"

OR

enemyarmy = "%2"

to get more than one word.

ok The variable enemyarmy now works but I am having trouble once more here

mud output

Bloodstalkers decides to regroup!
A squad of variags called 'Bloodstalkers' takes 0 casualties
A squad of men called 'The Bloodguard' takes 0 casualties

The Bloodguard decides to regroup!
A squad of men called 'The Bloodguard' takes 0 casualties
A squad of variags called 'Bloodstalkers' takes 0 casualties

Bloodstalkers decides to flank!
A squad of variags called 'Bloodstalkers' takes 0 casualties
A squad of men called 'The Bloodguard' takes 0 casualties

A squad of variags called 'Bloodstalkers' takes 0 casualties
A squad of men called 'The Bloodguard' takes 0 casualties

here my army is The Bloodguard and the enemy army is Bloodstalkers
now the enemyarmy var is Bloodstalkers
but the problem is i want to order my army to encircle when they flank and regroup when they do
My triggers are like this
#Trigger {@enemyarmy decides to flank!} {order encircle}
#Trigger {@enemyarmy decides to regroup!} {order regroup}
#Trigger {@enemyarmy decides to charge!} {order defend}
#Trigger {@enemyarmy decides to defend!} {order regroup}

the patterns match but the value doesnt work

Somehow you have more than one value in the variable. Using @varname means you are looking for the entire contents of varname, whereas {@varname} means you are looking for any member of a master list:

#trigger {@Name is here.} {#say hi}
Name = Ted <--pattern looks for the word 'Ted'
Name = Ted|George|Phil <-- pattern looks for the word 'Ted|George|Phil'

#trigger {{@Name} is here.} {#say hi}
Name = Ted <--pattern looks for the word Ted
Name = Ted|George|Phil <-- pattern looks for the word 'Ted', the word 'George' or the word 'Phil'

the variable has only one value assigned. It may be that since the variable is longer than one word, just specifying the variable in a trigger as @varible may be just searching for one word in the variable however {@variable} specifies the whole variable.... if any of that made sense
