Hello!

Can anyone help me out how to capture exits in to variable.

I have a lot of triggers For exits
My exit line can be

Examples
Exits: north, south, west.
or
Exits: north, (south), (west). etc
or
Exits: [north], south, (west). etc
or
Exits: -north-, -south-, =west=.
or
Exits: =north=, =south=, (west).
and so on a really lot of different combinations.

What i have now is
#trigger Exits: (%w), (%w), (%w).
#var exitnames %1%2%3
#trigger Exits: ~((%w)~), (%w), (%w).
#var exitnames %1%2%3
etc...
a really lot of triggers.

Is there any easier way to capture Exits? Perl expression %replace?
Or any other way?

Thanks for your

#trigger "tExits" {^Exits: ([%w%s,~[~]~(~)-=]).$} {}

That is what the pattern would look like. To keep it simple, you can just assign the entire exits string to a variable (Exits = %1). A more advanced solution is discussed below that allows you to handle each exit type more specifically (any code listed below is meant to go into the above trigger in the empty set of curly brackets).

To start out, I would initialize the Exits variable to a starting "no exits" state. This lets me include exits that are not available in the room, which I'm equating to 0 (ZMud uses 0 as a false value):

Thanks for reply,

But i did try this and what happened
Made trigger ^Exits: ([%w%s,~[~]~(~)-=]).$
#var exitnames %1

Now i move around in mud lets say room with exits Exits: east, south.
and #show @exitnames it shows me like this
east, nothing more.

or Exits: (north), east.
#show @exitnames (north),

or Exits: [north], east.
#show @exitnames north,

Seems that trigger don't understand -->,

So i made 6 triggers 1. trigger ^Exits: ([%w~[~]~(~)-=]).$
2.trigger ^Exits: ([%w~[~]~(~)-=]), ([%w~[~]~(~)-=]).$
and so on

So far thank You for Your help!
