I have a few triggers set up to recognize certain sentences and then to set a variable
ie I have one that works perfectly, when I hold a certain weapon it sets the var @weap to the current weapon I'm holding so I can use the @weap variable in certain attack aliases. works fine.

I was trying to set a variable when I come across certain NPC's
ie #trig (Wally is standing here) {#var npc wally}

for the first npc I set the trigger up for, it set the variable npc fine, I check it in game by typing #echo @npc which returns Wally
now I set up a second one and I used the same style
#trig (Waldo is standing here) {#var npc waldo}
however when I echo @npc I still get wally, and when I just type #var npc waldo into to the mud, and then echo the var, I still get wally. What the hell is going on?

it should be the curly brackets {} around the pattern, not parenthesis ()

also, it should be: #VAR npc {value}

not sure that would mess it up seeing as its only one word, but still

Another thing, check to make sure you dont have two different @npc variables in differant classes/packages

what do you mean different variables in different classes?

Inside your zMUD settings, you can have folders to separate different scripts - they're called classes. What might be happening is that you have a class structure like this:
