Ok, so heres the deal, in my mud, you can "scan" for directions, it will show "right here" "nearby direction" "not far direction" and "far off direction" and under those directions it will show the monster or any special token.
EX:
Nearby North:
- BigBadMonster
- Something Shiny
- ReallyWeakMonster
Nearby East:
etc...etc..etc..
i know that in my trigger if I do:
Nearby North:$ - Something shiny
n;get all

that that will work, but what if the item is underneath a monster name, or two monster names? how do I get that to work?
Nearby North:$$$$$$$ - Something Shiny
n;get all
that doesnt seem to work, any suggestions?

The easiest method is to use an alias, several triggers, and a class. Something along these lines:
#AL scan {#VAR dir {};#VAR distance 0;#T+ scan;~scan}
#CLASS scan disable
#TR {Nearby (%w)} {#VAR dir %1;#VAR distance 1}
#TR {Not far (%w)} {#VAR dir %1;#VAR distance 2}
#TR {Far off (%w)} {#VAR dir %1;#VAR distance 3}
#TR {- Something Shiny} {#T- scan;#IF (@distance = 1) {@dir};#IF (@distance = 2) {@dir;@dir};#IF (@distance = 3) {@dir;@dir;@dir};get all}
#TR {- (*)} {#IF ("%1" <> "Something Shiny") {#T- scan;#IF (@distance = 1) {@dir};#IF (@distance = 2) {@dir;@dir} #IF (@distance = 3) {@dir;@dir;@dir};kill %1}}
#CLASS 0
#T- scan
