Im having a spot of trouble figuring out how to do this. I have a variable named Enemy with a listing of all of my enemies, i.e. Bob|Joe|Jim|Billy....etc.
And what Im trying to do is get it so that whenever any of these names appear to get them to be red and blinking via the %ansi(blink,red) function...the trigger i have now gives me some REALLY wierd results and Im at a loss of how to set this up.
Contain rather than hurt.
Hurt rather than maim.
Maim rather than kill.
Kill rather than be killed. |

Why not just do this?
#TR {@enemy} {#CW red,bold,blink}
Should work.

#TR {[@Enemy]} {#CW red,bold,blink}

In a pattern, square brackets indicate a range. Each letter in the range is matched individually.
Place the variable in curly braces to match each item in a string list.
