How do I extract list item in a %b{@stringlist}%b trigger
 
I have figured out how to trigger on a string list item. Now I would like to utilize the specific list item that triggered. For example
stringlist: monster1 | monster2 | monster3

#TRIGGER {%b{@stringlist}%b} {kill monster#}

If monster 3 triggered, I would now like to execute "kill monster3"

Can anyone shed some light on this please? Thanks

Just use parenthesis to turn it into an anonymous variable

#TR {%b({@stringlist})%b} {kill %1)

Thanks for the response!
I just tried it with parenthesis, and the trigger is no longer firing. Is there anything else I can try? I am running CMUD latest version.

Just tried changing the location of parenthesis, and it WORKED!
This is what works for me
#TRIG {(%b{@list}%b)} {kill %1}

I can't believe it finally works. This has been something I've struggled with for a long time. Thank you so much for your insight shalimar!
