Hello,

The trigger I have works just great when there is only one pattern which fires it in line. It looks like that:

pattern:
(%x %x {male|female} {human|elf|dwarf|hobbit|kender|gnome|minotaur|goblin})
script:
#IF %ismember("%1",@desclist) {#SUB {%1 "["%item(@namelist,%ismember("%1",@desclist))"]"}}

It fires when a player description shows on the screen and then adds that player's name after the description, for example:

blue-eyed black-haired male elf
changes to
blue-eyed black-haired male elf [Thardriel]

Desclist and namelist are string variables with descriptions and names in a proper order.

The problem is that when two descriptions show in one line, it works well only with the first one, and shows strange things in place of a second description.

blue-eyed black-haired male elf and tall muscular male goblin
changes to
blue-eyed black-haired male elf [Thardriel] and 150 {#SUB {tall muscular male goblin [Burk]}}

The number in red changes to a number that is a position of a name/desc in the list.

Does anybody have any clue how to change it?
Thanks in advance.

Putting paranthesis around the #IF expression should help, but may not fix it.
#IF (%ismember("%1",@desclist)) {#SUB {%1 "["%item(@namelist,%ismember("%1",@desclist))"]"}}

Thanks, but it doesn't work. The only change is that now there is paranthesis around the number...

blue-eyed black-haired male elf [Thardriel] and (150) {#SUB {tall muscular male goblin [Burk]}}

Any more ideas?

Hmm...try going to the options tab on the settings editor for this trigger and make sure Trigger on Trigger is off on the bottom left.

What version are you using?

Try changing the command of the trigger to:
#IF (%ismember("%1", @desclist)) {#SUB {%concat("%1", "[", %item(@namelist, %ismember("%1", @desclist)), "]")}}

If it doesn't work, then I think this is a bug with #SUB. I've sometimes seen #SUB work strangely when it is not the only command.

You can also change the trigger pattern to:
({@desclist})
This will allow you to eliminate the #IF check.

Changing the pattern to ({@desclist}) and deleting the #IF part worked!

Thanks a lot everyone!
