Hey All,

I am trying get my armor when it gets hit to be put in another window.

(a Bloody eyepatch gets damaged)

Okay my trigger looks like this

Pattern: (%w gets damaged)
Response: #win EQ %1

Now my problem is it keeps missing word that is right behind ( and the following word after that do not show up in window. all it spits in window is:

eyepatch gets damaged

I tried the response #WIN EQ %w but all it did was spit %w up in window and tried removeing "(" in Pattern all it did was take me to window and do nothing. hoping somebody out there can get me going in the right direction

I think %w matches just 1 word, and you have 3 words there.

Try with pattern
#trigger {(*) gets damaged} {#win EQ %1}

%w matches any number of Alpha characters. So as rose said, use *.

Check the help for: Pattern Matching for all the available wild cards.

Okay Well i tried the above suggestion and got a little better but pretty much same results currently i have the following

#trigger{(* gets damaged)}{#winEQ %1}
and it gives me half of name of equipment it seems to grab I tired mucking with placing a space between variable and that only still not to be able to get the full name come up in window This i think is cause the first word of the letter starts behind the bracket (no space).

I still fiddeling with it but could use some more guidance please :)

Heres the results of the current position with the above trigger:
MUD: (a Bloody eyepatch gets damaged)
Window: eyepatch gets damages

Try:
#TRIGGER {~((*) gets damaged~)} {#WIN EQ %1}

The pattern (*) will be forced to match everything from the first open bracket to the word gets. As the pattern is sent from the mud with special characters () I put a ~ in front of them to tell zMud to literally expect those brackets.

Edit:

Thought about the amount of spam that window would get and you might want to time stamp things in it.

#TRIGGER {~((*) gets damaged~)} {#WIN EQ %time(hh:nn) %1 gets damaged}
