Hello all :)

I have problem capturing the room description I have made some triggers below
but I cant get it to work. I made this triggers and then I tried to reconfigure
it. I would be greatfull for an example how I should make triggers and configure
mapper so I get it to work.

This below is a example of a room on Dragon Swords:

[642] The Big Intersection (city) [no_mob]


[Exits: east south west]


You are on the intersection of Impy Way and Swiftest Way.  To the north of


you is a big house.  Swiftest Way runs east and west, and Impy way continues


south.  There are quite a few people on this intersection.








(25485hp 25200m 642 v ofcol2.are wizinvis: off  )

_______________________________________________________________________________
I have made these triggers:

Pattern: ~[(%d)~] (%*) ~((%w)~) ~[(%*)~]
Value: #TAG vnum %1;#TAG name %2;#TAG flags %4

Pattern: ~[Exits~: (%*)~]
Value: #TAG exit %1;#TAG desc

Pattern: ~((%d)hp*
Value: #TAG prompt

Thanks in advance

OK I only see one or two things that could be problems. You are useing "*" way to much.
I would make some variables to help the pattern matching like so:

#var areas {city|town|underground|area}
#var warning {mob|no~_mob}
Then you would rewrite you patterns like so:

Pattern: ~[(%d)~] (%*) ~(({@areas})~) ~[({@warning})~]
Value: #TAG vnum %1;#TAG name %2;#TAG flags %4
This might cut down on trigger that by accident would fire but are not what you want.

Pattern: ~[Exits~: (%*)~]---correct this to:
Pattern: ~[Exits~: (*)~]
Value: #TAG exit %1;#TAG desc

Pattern: ~((%d)hp*-------would be:
Pattern: ~((%d)hp (*)~)
Value: #TAG prompt
I do not recomend this one because your promt changes and if you useinng this to map with it might be a problem.

Anyways let me know if this helps..
