is it possible to use a trigger with a pattern like this, {a|b|c|d}, and then make whatever one causes the trigger to fire be referred to, such as take a if a was the pattern matched?

Yes
#TRIGGER {{(a|b|c|d)}} {
#IF (%1="a") {do this}
#IF (%1="b") {do that}
#IF (%1="c") {do this}
#IF (%1="d") {do that}
}

well the problem with that that is a really long way to do it, i could have just made 4 individual triggers, and im assuming theres some way with zmud that will id to what was just matched.

How about you give a DETAILED example?
Might help a little.
Mud display included as well.

well here is a better example, mobs

#TR {dog|cat|sheep|bus} {kill stupid}
now where stupid is, i want it to be either dog, cat, sheep, or bus, depending on which one set off the trigger. i tried using %1, that didn't work. i dont want to make 4 if statements to control it either if there is a function such as %patternmatch(made up example) that i can use as "kill %patternmatch" instead of "kill stupid" that will fill in "%patternmatch" with whatever caused the trigger to fire

You mean something like
#TRIGGER {^{(Test1|Test2|Test3|Test4)}} {kill %1}
?

we replied at the same time. you were missing the extra parenthesis. also, you'll want to put a ^ at the start, or you'll get a loop. well, see the example

that was just a quick example, i have it anchored and all so its fine, i just am looking for the command. i tried %1, it didn't work

#TRIGGER {^({Test1|Test2|Test3|Test4})} {kill %1}
