Hi all. I'm trying to make a trigger that does something very simple. Whenever I see the text "X attacks you" (where X is any player name), I want to issue the command "insult X" Let's say James attacks me and I get the game text "James attacks you". I should issue the command "insult James"

I have tried this trigger:
%1 attacks you

insult %1

This does not seem to work. I have also tried with %w

(%w) attacks you

Is what you want, you need to wrap a portion of the pattern in parenthesis for the anonymous variables (%1-%99) to have any value.

#HELP #TRIGGER has a link to the various pattern matching wildcards like %w.

It might work in this sample, but it is improper syntax.
I would rather teach people the right way.
What you do is on you.
