I am trying to make a variable called nearVar, to be part of a larger trigger.

I have used #SUB to alter the names of several locations.

I am trying to trigger the altered location names, and when triggered, to be set as nearVar.

I will explain.

Pattern - ^&locationVar~(* and *~) - This is a location trigger, making locationVar the name of the room i am in.

Pattern - ^HP:&hpVar EP:&epVar - This will make hpVar and epVar reflect my current health status.

I have, lets say, 2 triggers like this...
Pattern - A small, run down town
Value - #SUB {TOWN1, A BIG SIGN}

Pattern - An even smaller, run down town
Value - #SUB {TOWN2, A BIG SIGN}

I want to make a variable like this...but not like this cos it doesnt work. Hopefully you will see what i am trying to do here :/

^&nearVar, A BIG SIGN

The eventual aim of this is to then trigger a persons name and record it, my health status, the exact room i am in, and the last A BIG SIGN i visited...and then eventually send that as a message in-MUD. I have everything perfect except the nearVar trigger. Though the locationVar is not perfect, i think i can fiddle with it and get it there.

Am i going wrong using #SUB? Or trying to trigger #SUB?
If so, or if not, could anyone tell me where i am going wrong and how i can solve it?

#SUBSTITUTE is not appropriate for setting variables. #VARIABLE is used for making variables.

Pattern - A small, run down town
Value - #VAR nearVar {TOWN1}

Pattern - An even smaller, run down town
Value - #VAR nearVar {TOWN2}
