I'm trying to make a bot to automate questing. I have 6 variables set up, area, room, mob, item, astral, and weapon. What would the pattern be to set a variable's value to something off a trigger, for example:

Pattern:
The fiendish demon says 'An enemy of mine, the Training Master, is making vile threats against the city.'

Value:
??

To clarify a little better. I want to take

The fiendish demon says 'An enemy of mine, the Training Master, is making vile threats against the city.'

and make it set the variable @questmob 's value to the number that coresponds with the mob name, which is already predefined

You can get the name with
#TR {The fiendish demon says 'An enemy of mine, (*), is making vile threats against the city} {#VAR questmob {%1}}

To get a number instead, you'll have to compare %1 with your predefined mobnames.

could I do something like have a variable for each mob and use this

Pattern:
The fiendish demon says 'An enemy of mine, (*), is making vile threats against the city'

Value:
#IF %1=@afrostgiant {#var @questmob 1}
#IF %1=@anelitefrostgiantguard {#var @questmob 2}
#If %1=@aduringuard {#var @questmob 3}

or ...

Pattern:
The fiendish demon says 'An enemy of mine, (*), is making vile threats against the city'

Value:
#IF (%1 = "a frost giant") {#VAR @questmob giant-frost}
#IF (%1 = "a durin guard") {#VAR @questmob guard-durin}

and would the "a durin guard" be case sensitive?

Yes, you can do that. The comparison would be case-sensitive, but you ca take care of that by passing %1 to %lower. Example:
#IF (%lower(%1) = "a frost giant") {#VAR @questmob giant-frost}

How could I make it automatically track? I can't get it to work using

#trig {You sense a trail (%d) from here...} {%1;!}

What happens when you do that? What is wrong with it?

Have you tried using:
#EXEC %1

instead?

Nothing at all happens. It's as if I didn't make the trigger. I put it in a class named track, and it is enabled. #exec didn't make any difference

Is the trigger firing? Add a #SHOW to it to display a message when it fires and see if the message ever comes up.

You are trying to "pattern match" a word or direction

quote:

Pattern Matching
Patterns can contain several special character for wild-card matching.

..
%w match any number of alpha characters (a-z) (a word)
..
%t match a direction command

So you want to use a (%w) or a (%t). Not being sure what kind
of directions that might show up in your triggers, I suggest:

#TRIGGER {^You sense a trail (%w) from here...} {%1;!}

Ok, well, it finally goes the direction its suppose to, but how can I make it repeat the track command?

#trig {^You sense a trail (%w) from here...} {#exec %1}

I think I got it to working well enough.

#trig {^You sense a trail (%w) from here...} {#exec %1;#wa 5000;track @questmob}

#trig {^You're already in the same room!} {#class track 0}
