Searched throughout this forum and still can't find answer. I'm making an alias to create triggers based on certain variables.
variable zone1 = Tarsis
variable roomdesc = A Humble Inn.
I can change these 2 variables quickly.

Alias "addroom" creates #Trigger {@roomdesc} {#sub "@roomdesc (@zone1)"}

so i'm trying to quickly create this trigger
#trigger {A Humble Inn.} {#sub "A Humble Inn. (Tarsis)"

Thank you.

It sounds like you want to put the zone name of the room you are in after the room name of the room you are in..

RoomName (Zone)

I'm thinking someone *else* can loop through something causing that effect for you.
Is any of this based off the map?

Those quotes don't belong and create a literal string. It is possible that this enigma is failing over the use of the parenthesis in whatever secret plan you ply. OK, seriously, what do you want?

#sub {@roomdesc (@zone1)} or #sub {@roomdesc ~(@zone1~)}

I am overly cautious

No nothing is based off the map, and you are correct Scirkhan. I want to know what ZONE a room is in, so that if i spy on another character i can see what zone they are in.
Specifically, you only see the Room name. So I want to create trigger to substitute the Room name for the Room name and the sub.
I can do it longway and just go into the trigger menu and make these individually, just trying to find a shortcut.

So When i make this alias
Alias "addroom" puts this command into zmud = #Trigger {@roomdesc} {#sub "@roomdesc (@zone1)"}
Zmud will make the trigger, but the pattern will be @roomdesc and the action will be #sub {@roomdesc (@zone1)}
I want the value that is in the @roomdesc variable, not @roomdesc.

Thanks.

You want to query the mapper database?

#var roomdescAndzone "#sub {"@roomdesc" ("@zone1")}"
#exec {#trigger {@roomdesc} {@roomdescAndzone}}

You could also try using #Psub
