My problem is that when I get a lot of lines with the same message I want to #sub all but the first one, so I know what's going on.
For instance, if I walk into a room and there are four guards with the same description, and they all attack me, it might look like this:
The tall muscular guard attacks you!
The tall muscular guard attacks you!
The tall muscular guard attacks you!
The tall muscular guard attacks you!
Is there a way to keep the first line and #sub the three others?

Thanks!/Jdawg

I havent tried, but maybe you could try something with a multiline trigger like this :

#TR {^(%*)$^(%*)} {#IF (%1=%2) {#SUB %1;#CR;#SUB whatever}}

First, I'd avoid using the #Sub command for this, this task seems to be built for #Gag. Following is an example I tested that seems to work:

#trigger {^%*$} {#if (%trigger = @Lasttrigger) {#gag}}
#trigger {^*$} {#var LastTrigger %trigger}

Note, the order is important. You wouldn't want to reverse these because then every line would match. Also, I had to use both methods of identifying any text (%* and *) since the triggers couldn't have the same name.

Enjoy,

That didn't seem to work for me, it works if only one thing is happening at a time, but it can't react to the right thing when a lot of other triggers are set off at the same time. Is there a way I could change the wildcards to a more specified trigger? for instance {guard attacks you!}

Thanks/Jdawg

Perhaps the simpler route is to let Zmud do all the line tracking for you. This trigger like all full wild triggers eats some preformance.

For all duplicate gagging:
#TR {^%*$} {#IF (%line=%line2) {#GAG}}

For more specific gagging:
#TR {guard attacks you!$} {#IF (%line=%line2) {#GAG}}

Do not use both.

Hmm, seems like he's wanting to make each line reflect WHICH guard/NPC is attacking him--thus his wanting to #sub all subsequent lines but not the first.

#trigger {^(%*)$} {
;check to see if this line is the same as the one before it
#if (%line = %line2) {
#NOOP it is, so increment the counter and determine what to do with this line
#add Count 1
#forall @LinePatterns {
#if ("%1" ~= "^The (*) attacks you!") {#sub {The @Count%case(%right(@Count,1),th,st,nd,rd,th,th,th,th,th,th) %%i attacks you~!}} {#NOOP this line is a new pattern, so do nothing until you can figure out what you want to do}}
} {
#NOOP it isn't, so reset all variables and do other cleanup
Count = 1
}
}
