I need some help on a trigger i am trying to make:
On my mud when i enter a room i see something like :

Halfway down Sweetheart Lane [w,e].
Ivan and a smiling mugger are standing here.

Now here Ivan is a player and mugger is a npc,what i want to do is colour the npc in let's say blue,but only in the room description,meaning when i start a battle or someone is already fighting the npc it doesnt get coloured.

Thanks in advance. ;)

Let me make sure I understand you correctly,
you want to colour the npc in blue only in
when you are travelling through a room and
not when you are fighting or someone is fighting
that npc.

If that is correct, we would need to see
examples of mud out for:

When you are fighting that npc and
when someone else is fighting that npc when
you just look in the room.

//

Having said that, if you trigger on the highlighted
area in red:

Ivan and a smiling mugger are standing here.

You'll be able to reduce the coloring.

However the trigger that I can think of
would be slow and would involve parsing to
find out what was in front of the
{is|are} standing here. as the mud
output stacks all the npc/players into that one line.

oh i see :)
Please tell me how to do that ;)
I dont mind if its slow as long as it works,the bad thing is i cant make the trigger by myself ;)
Ah and another thing,its not always a single line it may be something like :

Somewhere in the Shades [5,1,6,4,3,2].
A scary mugger, Ivan,a terrifying troll,a lumbering troll,two looming trolls,a deadly fighter,a mean mercenary,two troll warriors,a wandering warrior and a huge dwarf warrior are standing here.

Thanks again ;)

Excellent it is all on one line.

Heh Lightbulb didn't answer it ;)
He tends to be more succint and more to the
point of the issue!

Here goes nothing.

I hope I can rip from the exit line and not
cause you grief:

Trigger: ~].$(%*) {is|are} standing here.$
Script:




#GAG


#VAR LivingRoomList %replace( %replace( "%1", ",", "|"), " and ", "|")


#VAR LivingRoomSub ""


#FORALL @LivingRoomList {


 #IF (%numwords( %i) > 1) {


    #NOOP NPC


    #VAR LivingRoomSub %concat( @LivingRoomSub, "%ansi(blue)", %i, ", ")


    } {


    #NOOP PC


    #VAR LivingRoomSub %concat( @LivingRoomSub, "%ansi(red)", %i, ",")


    }


  }


#SAY @LivingRoomSub

That is kinda messy. I'm not sure if I could
use #SUB there with all that processing to
I used #GAG and #SAY

I'm hoping it takes the concat with the %ansi()
functions.

It will default , after everything
and defaults to are.

If the above works then try this to see if
it looks "nicer":

Trigger: ~].$(%*) ({is|are}) standing here.$
Script:




#VAR LivingRoomList %replace( %replace( "%1", ",", "|"), " and ", "|")


#VAR LivingRoomLast %item( @LivingRoomList, %numitems( @LivingRoomList))


#VAR LivingRoomSub ""


#FORALL @LivingRoomList {


  #IF (%numwords( %i) > 1) {


    #NOOP NPC


    #VAR LivingRoomSub %concat( @LivingRoomSub, "%ansi(blue)", %i, %case( ((@LivingRoomLast == %i)+1), ", ", " "))


    } {


    #NOOP PC


    #VAR LivingRoomSub %concat( @LivingRoomSub, "%ansi(red)", %i, %case( ((@LivingRoomLast == %i)+1), ", ", " "))


    }


  }


#SH @LivingRoomSub %2 standing here.

I'm not sure if it will take the %case() though.
I'm guessing it might.
