Matching stars in a trigger
|
Iv got this trigger
~<~[(%1)~] ~[(%d)H *~]~>
It's meant to react to a prompt like
<[******] [44247H 25000M 43863V]>
And it does. But after the fight is over it's the ammount of exp i got instead of enemys hp.
So i was wondering. Is it possible for it to match only stars?
Fluff the puff. |

First, you need to be warned off of using %1...%99 in your trigger patterns. These things work EXACTLY like * or perhaps even %*, which will match ANYTHING and could potentially get you into serious trouble.
As for your question, you can use this to match only stars:
~<~[([~*])~]

I would suggest using something like
~<~[******~] ~[(%d)H (%d)M (%d)V~]~>
Just in case you want to do anything later that involve your current hp, mana, or whatnot. Also, only use that if there is always the same amount of stars.

That would work (if you put parentheses around the asterisk), but in that case you wouldn't need all those asterisks as * is a broad-range wildcard that works pretty much like it does in DOS (*.exe, for instance). If there is anything else besides stars in between the square brackets it would catch them as well.
