Hey guys, i know very little about this stuff so all help is welcome. What i want is a trigger if possible, so that whenever a name is received from the mud, if it is in some sort of list or DB it is highlighted.

eg, Waterrat is standing here.

would become, Waterrat* is standing here.

Possible?

You can try something like this:

#var PeopleToHighlight {Waterrat|Blacksmith|Mefathiel|Bob}

#trigger {(@PeopleToHighlist)} {#sub %ansi(red)%1*}

Untested and I can't test it until I get home, but this should be a good start.

Almost, that replaces the name with the asterix, rather than adding it? :)

Ah, got it. Thanks for the help. :)

Got a little problem.

Say in PeopleToHighlight you have {bel|bertie}

If they are both received on the same line it screws up, like this.

Instead of 'bel and bertie are standing here.'

i get 'bel* and bertie bertie*anding here.'

Any ideas?

Regrettably the trigger is attempting to act on the same line twice and getting a little confused as such you have to do it the long and hard way.
#TR "Highlite" {{@PeopleList}} {#GAG;#T- Highlite;#LOOP %numwords(%trigger) {#SHOWPROMPT %concat(%if(%i>1," ",""),%word(%trigger,%i), %if(%ismember(%word(%trigger,%i),@PeopleList),"*",""))};#SHOW;#T+ Highlite}

That gives you the nice asterisks, if you prefer having the color now try this.
#TR {{@PeopleList}} {#CW red}

Although it makes no sense for SUB to mess up. In fact I tested it out and it worked fine.
#TR {({@PeopleList})} {#SUB %ansi(red)"%1"*}
