Hey there, i've seen a couple of posts of trigs, but i never got them to work properly.

What i'm trying to do is send all the exits to a variable as a datarecord.

the patterns look like so:

You see exits leading north and south.
You see exits leading north, up and south.
You see exits leading north (open door), up, south (closed door) and west.

Any tips on how i could do this?

Thanks

if all the possible exit values are known before this will work

#TRIGGER {You see exits leading (*)} {
#var exitvar ""
#fo {north|east|south|west|up|down} {
#if %regex("%1",%i) {#additem exitvar %i}
}
#echo found:@exitvar
}

Ok, just encountered a problem with that script.

trigger looks like so:

#TRIGGER {You see exits leading (*)} {
#var exitvar ""
#fo {north|northeast|east|southeast|south|southwest|west|northwest|out|in|up|down} {
#if %regex("%1",%i) {#additem exitvar %i}
}
#echo found:@exitvar
}

I get this:

A long corridor.
You see exits leading north, south, and west.
3160h, 3136m, 16024e, 16800w cexkdb@-*|22:17:33:669|*-Exits: north|south|west|out

The only place i can see "out" is in the word sOUTh, how would i stop it from doing this?

Thanks

no problem

#TRIGGER {You see exits leading (*)} {
#var exitvar ""
#fo {north|northeast|east|southeast|south|southwest|west|northwest|out|in|up|down} {
#if %regex("%1","\b%i\b") {#additem exitvar %i}
}
#echo found:@exitvar
}

the part in bold is the change
the \b forces the pattern to match a word boundary,so enclosing the pattern within them forces it to match a complete word
\bout\b wont match the out in south

\bsouth\b wount match the south in southwest etc

This does work well, however there is another syntax for when there is only one exit:

You see a single exit leading <direction>

How can I add that into the trigger to pick that up?

#TRIGGER {You see (*) leading (*)} {
#var exitvar ""
#fo {north|northeast|east|southeast|south|southwest|west|northwest|out|in|up|down} {
#if %regex("%2","\b%i\b") {#additem exitvar %i}
}
#echo found:@exitvar
}

Try that
