Hello

I can't manage to write pattern for trigger. I need to recover single word from trigger patern and use it (%1) in command window. After this word can be dot or space and some text.

I've tried to set pattern to:

Something something %1*.

and

Something something %1{.| *.}

but it didn't works :((

Valid text which should lunch trigger are (in every example word FOO should be stored in '%1' parameter):

Something something FOO.

Something something FOO something.

Something something FOO and again something.

The main problem for me was 1st example ('cos dot).

Thx in advance, Waldek

Real examples would get you far more helpful responses. Keep in mind that there is no requirement to have the entire line in the trigger phrase. The preferred usage is %w, %d, %n, %a, etc. in the trigger phrase and %1, %2, %3, etc. in the trigger action. With this usage, %1 will be the first item in parentheses, %2 the second, etc.

#TR {^Something something (%w)} {take some action about %1}

From your examples the best i can provide is: ^%w %w (%w)*.$
Keep in mind this trigger is very open. It will fire on every line containg at least 3 words and ending in a period. It also captures the 3rd word to the variable %1
I do not reccommend you use it unless you know everything your mud will ever output or you make it more specific.
