I have a simple trigger that goes:
Pattern: (%w) just stole ~$%d from you.
Value: blahblahwhatever
There are a few people that love to emote and mess with me. How do I go about filtering out the emotes?
They look like this:
Emoter Person just stole $50 from you.

I don't think you could do that unless the output emoted is different than a real command. If you really wanted to get technical you would have to code it to check your current gold against a counter that zmud keeps.

I think you'd have to have parentheses around the %d also.
ex. (%w) just stole ~$(%d) from you.

If it's just those few people messing with you, you can try to code it such that the same people doing it will NEVER show up on your screen.

Pattern: (%w) just stole ~$%d from you.
Value: If (%ismember(%1,@blacklist)) {#gag}

Just update your @blacklist with a list of people who does it all the time. This of course, would also gag out the actual attempts of them stealing from you, if that isn't a worry though, this should work.

Yes, there's a way. Check out the Line Color option of triggers. Just specify the color of the line and the trigger will only try to match the pattern when the line received is of that color.

However, since what you want to capture is when the line is not an emote, perhaps you should set the Line Color option to the color of the real message, not the emote message.

hrmm... i just reread my post.. thanks for the replies... i didn't get my point across...
The emote text looks like this:
<emoter> Bob just stole $34 from you.

The regular text looks like this:
Bob just stole $34 from you.

Same problem.

Start your pattern with ^.
Pattern: ^(%w) just stole ~$%d from you.

The ^ marks the beginning of the line, so only one word can come before " just", and that means it will ignore the lines that start with Emoter.
