This has probably been mentioned somewhere, but for all my searching i havent been able to find it, so i appologize for repeating this.

What I would like to do is set triggers to go off on mxp code. What i mean is this, when i turn the mxp emulation off, i get to see things like this:

<!ENTITY hp 2580 max=2580><!ENTITY xp 318104><!ENTITY gp 439 max=442>

I would like the trigger to go off when it comes across this line, and capture the relative entity values, the way im trying to do it doesnt work, which is this:

#trig {<!ENTITY hp (%d) max=(%d)><!ENTITY xp (%d)><!ENTITY gp (%d) max=(%d)>} {#show %1 %2 %3 %4 %5}

Of course id like this trigger to work while mxp emulation is turned on.
Thanks

since <'s and >'s are special characters by default, you may want to use the tilde (~) character to make these a part of your pattern instead of a supposed expression. i.e. (~<!ENTITY hp... ~>~<!ENTITY.....~>~<...etc.)

I don't play on a MXP enhanced mud, so I don't know how zMud handles them, but.. that's my first advice atleast.

Can't you refrence mud entitys with something like %mud.hp
view-settings-general-mxp-entites-mud
for a list.

just a guess since I don't use a mxp I wouldn't know :P

I can but that would only give me access to the entity value. I want to have access to the entity description as well. The description bit is "max=2580" in the MXP code below.

<!ENTITY hp 2580 max=2580>
