Triggers

can anyone let me know the variable to put in for when someone attacks something, (anyone that is, not just one person) to assist them? I want to think its %n, but I'm not sure

%n is a trigger wildcard pattern that matches comma-delimited numbers. Perhaps you are thinking of %w, which matches any one-word combination of alphabetic symbols (a-z and A-Z)?

The first %n would be (%w), since like MattLofton mentioned, you want the trigger to match a word before "attacks", not a number with commas. The second %n would be %1. Since the %w is surrounded in parenthesis, whatever zMUD matches for this wildcard will be stored in %1. Thus, you use this to refer to whatever was matched by the first wildcard surrounded in parenthesis, which in this case would be the word that comes before "attacks".

If the wording is just like in your post above, it'd be
#TRIGGER {%w attacks} {assist %1}
