Ok, I'm trying to make a "follow script" so when an NPC leaves, I can follow it. But my mud output is weird. It goes like this:

Rat looks about wildly for an exit!
Rat leaves southeast.

As you can see it's a multiple line thingy. Kind of a pain in the butt. Can someone help me with this?

The quick and dirty method would be to use two triggers:




#TR {(%w) looks about wildly for an exit!} {#VAR prey %1}


#TR {{@prey} leaves (%w).} {%1;kill @prey; #VAR prey ""}

But that might cause problems if something flees from someone else in the room and you follow it. A safer way is to create an alias:




#AL k {#VAR prey %1; kill %1}


#TR {{@prey} looks about wildly for an exit!} {#VAR mobfled 1}


#TR {{@prey} leaves (%w).} {#IF @mobfled {#VAR mobfled 0; %1; kill @prey}}


#TR {You have KILLED {@prey}} {#VAR prey ""}

Just something I've been wondering about lately, would the following be valid?

#TRIGGER {^Rat looks about wildly for an exit~!$Rat leaves southeast} {blahblah}

Definitely. Of course (as you know, though probably didn't spend the time on), I'd change Rat to @prey...
