Have a trigger question that I can't seem to figure out. Have tried all the expressions in the helps and none are working. Here is what I have:

Pattern:
cast '(%w)' (%w)

Value:
#var target %1
#var spell {%2}

This will successfully capture most of my spell commands such as armor, bless, etc.

The problem comes in when I cast a spell with two words such as "cure light". To fix this problem I edited my pattern to look like this:

cast '(%w%s%w)' (%w)

That works great with two word spells, but now it will not capture the single word spells successfully.

Any suggestions for how I can easily capture a single or two word spell and assign it to the @spell variable with that pattern?

Thanks all and happy mudding!

Sure use a different wildcard. From the Pattern Matching page of the help we find that * is the correct wildcard. Also since you are triggering off your commands it is best to use the proper trigger type and correct the options to ensure a trigger loop does not occur should you ever add more to this trigger.

Pattern:
cast '(*)' (%w)

Value:
#VAR target %2
#VAR spell {%1}

Options: Type=Command Input, Trigger On Trigger=unchecked

That worked great! I have tried using the (*) before but I did not adjust the options. Thanks again.
