I'm trying to write a trigger with some variables that will basically leave a line untouched, but add something right after it.
The output from the mud is:

--------------------------------------------------------
Your height is 5 feet, 7 inches, and you weigh 163.0 lbs.
You are carrying 0.0 lbs and wearing 55.2 lbs, very light.
Your base abilities are: Str:99 Int:50 Wil:50 Dex:99 Con:99.
Offensive bonus: 113, Dodging bonus: 54, Parrying bonus: 75
Your mood is: Pansy. You will flee below: 30 Hit Points
Your armor absorbs about 21% on average.
--------------------------------------------------------

What I'm using right now is this:

========================================================
#TRIGGER {Offensive bonus~: (%d), Dodging bonus~: (%d), Parrying bonus~: (%d)} {#VAR OB %1;#VAR DB %2;#VAR PB %3;#MATH DEF @DB+@PB;#PSUB {Offensive bonus: @OB, Dodging bonus: @DB, Parrying bonus: @PB Total Def Is @DEF}}
========================================================

I am wondering if that trigger will trigger everytime, and if the variables in the @PSUB will expound right.

This is what I would like to happen:

--------------------------------------------------------
Your height is 5 feet, 7 inches, and you weigh 163.0 lbs.
You are carrying 0.0 lbs and wearing 55.2 lbs, very light.
Your base abilities are: Str:19 Int:12 Wil:12 Dex:15 Con:19.
Offensive bonus: 113, Dodging bonus: 54, Parrying bonus: 75 Total Def is 129
Your mood is: Wimpy. You will flee below: 30 Hit Points
Your armor absorbs about 21% on average.
--------------------------------------------------------

And this is what happens when it runs:

--------------------------------------------------------

I don't know why that happens the way it does. Any help would be Great!

Thanks

Looks to me like your only messup is in your #PSUB

Should be...

#PSUB "Offensive bonus: @OB, Dodging bonus: @DB, Parrying bonus: @PB Total Def Is @DEF"

The only problem -I- encounter when testing this is the line after the triggered line wraps up to the triggered line right behind the newly substituted line, you can correct this by putting %lf in the value of your trigger after your #PSUB, if you get the same thing happening on yours.

I got it to work fine just using #SUB instead of #PSUB.

Thanks guys. It was just the #PSUB that screwed me up. I used #sub, and it works great. Seems like a lot of explaining for a simple problem. :)

Thanks again
