I have a trigger:

You see: (*)
#ECHO %1

MUD text:
You see: a small shiny dish.

And zMUD is only returning:
a

What am I doing wrong? Or is there a preference setting I need to make?

I have no problem with your trigger, at all.
#TRIGGER {You see: (*)$} {#ECHO %1}

the only way i know to get the result you see is:

You see: (?)

check your trigger and make sure you have * rather then ?

are there any other objects you could test it on? or is "a" the first letter you usually see?

You see: a small shiny dish.

You see: the body of a dead dog

What version of zMUD are you using? You might have another setting in the background interferring with your trigger. I just pressed ESC from the main character screen to open a blank window then typed:

#TRIGGER {You see: (*)} {#ECHO %1}

and then typed:

#SHOW "You see: a small shiny dish."

and zMUD properly displayed "a small shiny dish."

So, I don't see any problem here.

looks like it is a weird setting, i'm gonna start a new character with a new settings file.

Thanks for the info and the help
