I've recently switched to zMUD 6.16 from gMUD because of the potential capabilities zMud has that gMud severely lacks. Well, gMud has made me stupid with its easy-to-use trigger system. I play a MUD called Medieval Times, and you can multiplay 2 chars at once. I want my cleric to basically answer spell requests defined by single word commands issued by anyone who speaks them. I shall give some examples.

Morgreth says, 'heal'

I want my cleric to cast the 'cure critic' spell upon him, using...

cast 'cure critic' Morgreth

in gMud this was done by using * says, 'heal' as the pattern, and then as the output text putting down cast 'cure critic' %1. Can anyone help me translate this into proper zMud script?

#TR {(%w) says, 'heal'}{cast 'cure critic' %1}
It's always better to use a picky wildcard :P

By the way,
* says, 'heal'

would have worked exactly as in gMUD, but like einar said, it is better to use %w since that will only match one word and not everything.

Wouldn't it have to be:
(*) says 'heal'
to store the name in the %1 variable?

Also, if you want to limit it even more,
you can use
^(%w) says 'heal'.
The ^ forces it to start at the beginning of the line, so that emotes or Someone says 'Someone says 'heal'' wont work.
