Iam trying to capture/trigger the room mob name that is first after the exit list
The Room Name Is My Constant
so I was trying to trigger off the room name and skip the next line and trigger the first or second mob word to a target variable

Dark Swamp
[Exits: east west]
Death Shade

so the end result here I would get the mob name in a mobtarget variable of death or death shade if its easier...

Thanks

You'd use a three-state trigger:

#trigger {room name} {}
#condition {~[Exits: *~]} {}
#condition {([%w%s])} {mobtarget = %word(%1,1)} {Within|param=1}

I'm sure your game doesn't enforce the notion that an object keyword (in this sense, object refers to anything a game command can operate on) must be in a particular position, so the mobtarget variable will need more complexity to ferret out the one you want.

do these conditions go into the trigger value?
cause I watching ti fire in the debugger, but its not sending it to mobtarget variable
is there also another setting i need to check or somethign

nope. #trigger and #condition all define settings types like you would see in the settings tree. They are the commands that equate to the New... button (#trigger = New Trigger, #condition = New Trigger State). Unless you pasted the above into the command line or editor, the only other way to create a condition is through the Package Editor.

If you're doing things via the package editor, then you only copy the parts to their appropriate text boxes:

#trigger "trigger id" {trigger pattern} {trigger code} "trigger class path" {trigger options}

Stuff in red is the proper syntax "filler" so that the parser can properly read what you are pasting into the command line, text editor, or in the case of the XML code into the settings tree.

Stuff in blue is the stuff you type in, click with the mouse, or otherwise enter via the Package Editor (note that the zscript format is older and does not contain some of the newer features).
