my prompt is

{HP=4265(91%)/MA=4108(100%)/MV=1628(100%)}-{1,182,812}

all i want to do for now is .. take the health % and mana % and have reactions based on whether or not these are under or over a certain %

can anybody help me?

thanks ill try that when i get home .. can you explain what the ~ does in this trigger .. does it negate the ( and ) so it doesnt take it into account when looking for trigger patterns?

~ makes the next character a literal. its used because %,( and ) have special meanings in zMUD Scripting, so to make it match them literally in the trigger you need to add the ~

i put in this trigger and it works thank you .. but i really need it to fire when the prompt is initially displayed .. as it is it seems to fire only when there is another line after the prompt shows.. or am i just out of luck and have to deal with it like that ? thanks very much

#TRIGGER {^~{HP=%n~((%n)~%~)~/MA=%n~((%n)~%~)/MV=%n~(%n~%~)~}~-~{%n~}$} {#IF (%1 < 15) {#ECHO Health Low!!};#IF (%2 < 15) {#ECHO Mana Low!!}} "" {prompt}

The {prompt} bit at the end is the same as going into the trigger, clicking the options tab and checking "trigger on prompt"

If you don't tick that box it'll wait for a newline

you guys are most helpful thank you .. and now i get greedy .. is there a way to do this using variables instead of the %1 and %2? like have the %n's capture the numbers as variables so i can use other triggers to check them? if that makes sense

#TRIGGER {^~{HP=%n~((%n)~%~)~/MA=%n~((%n)~%~)/MV=%n~(%n~%~)~}~-~{%n~}$} {#VARIABLE hp {%1};#VA mana {%2};#IF (%1 < 15) {#ECHO Health Low!!};#IF (%2 < 15) {#ECHO Mana Low!!}} "" {prompt}

It worked for me given that output. It is possible there are extra spaces or something. Try putting the scan output into [code] brackets so that it can be seen exactly as it comes from the mud.

Well that output is entirely different to the last output. How about you give me the mud address and I can have a look for myself?

Taz, I think his different output the 2nd time is cause he wanted to show spaces and your suggestion to put brackets was taken literally ;-)
Thorondor, rather than press submit press Preview. That will lead you to a screen with a few other text choices, like BOLD italics underline and Taz'

ive got it narrowed down to the variables not working correctly .. the triggers you gave me work great but it wont read from target/scannum/or scandir variables .. ive read the meager help file for variables .. perhaps theres a setting im missing ..

Nope you're not missing a setting. I just had a bit of a brain fart and ignored the line that said "a halfling youth" which will cause a problem because you may have set your target to "youth" rather than "halfling". Having logged on I see that many of the targets have multi word names. The condition trigger needs changing to something like
