Hi,

I'd like to create a trigger that will check a line of text for particular words. The words are ward and weapon. If the line contains any of these words I'd like to reply to the person "Alas I have not studied that weave yet."

The input looks like Person tells you 'Can you ward weapons?'.

So far I have created a trigger with a temp variable for the person who asks me this question. I have also created a variable to contain the text of the whole line that I receive.

The next part has me a little stuck. Should I use an IF statement to check if the text contains ward or weapon? Am I even going the right way about this?

Any help would be most appreciated.

You could do something like this

#trig {^(*) tells you 'Can you ({@wordcheck})*} {tell %1 "Alas I have not studied that weave yet."}

The persons name is stored in the %1 parameter and the actual word that is matched is stored in the %2 parameter.

So you could change the tell part to %1 "Alas i have not studied %2 weave yet"

The variable wordcheck is a string list that can contain any number of words you would like to watch out for. Each one is seperated by |.

i.e ward weapon|another skill|another skill and so on

Hope this helps
