I'm looking to make a trigger that puts the room name, look like this:

Whatever the room name is. [Room: 3000]
The room description underneath, probably multiple lines.

[Exits: north south]

[Room: 3000] is the vnum or the room. I would also like the vnum and exits to be put in the status bar, too.

I have tinkered with this for hours on end, with no luck. I'm not very good with triggers, so if anyone could help me with this, it would be greatly appreciated.

#TR {(*) ~[Room: (%d)~]} {RoomName="%1";RoomVnum=%2}
#TR {~[Exits: (*)~]} {RoomExits="%1"}
#ST "room" {@RoomName @RoomVnum @RoomExits}

It works.. in kind. I enabled show triggers to see what was happening, and it is reading what it needs to, just not putting it in the status bar.

This is what the trigger captures:
[(*) ~[Room: (%d)~]-> RoomName = "Inside a large cave."
RoomVnum = "5001"]

And:
[[Exits: (.*)]-> RoomExits="north south"]

But again, the only thing that shows in the status bar is one word.. 'room'. Thanks again for the help.

Well the trigger works great, but I would like to add some to it. I'm a builder for a mud, and I want to make it so when I type redit, oedit, medit, and mpedit, it puts some information in the status bar as well. Like so..

Vnum = any number from 0 to 999999 in the examples below.

I type 'oedit vnum' it puts
Mode: Oedit - vnum

I type 'medit vnum' it puts
Mode: MEdit - vnum

I type 'mpedit vnum' it puts
Mode: MPEdit - vnum

I type 'redit' it puts
Mode: REdit

And when I type 'done' to exit any editor I'm working in:
It either puts nothing, or Mode: none

I also have to be able to use these commands to enter the editors.

Anyways, I just recently, a month or two ago, I think, switched from a way less complex mud client to zmud so I don't know the trigger system that well yet. Thanks in advance for any help ppls!

Add another variable, @Mode, to your status line definition. Then, make an alias for each command.
