In my CMud I have this variable that contains a stringlist with names of enemies
This variable I called @enemies

Now I want a trigger to do two things: First of all when one of the names in this list comes by I want to highlight it, second: I want to send a command to the MUD that contains the specific name that came by. Now I have trouble with this last part. This is what I tried first

triggerline: "{@enemies}"

The trigger fired, but there is no way (that I know off) to use the name that it fired on in the script. So I than added the ()'s hoping that this would put the name in the temp variable %1.

triggerline: "({@enemies})"

But that does not work. Anybody have an idea how to make this work?

Which version of CMUD are you using?

There's not much I can say except that this is the way you're supposed to do it and that it's working for me. I'm using 2.13.

I am using the last public and not the Beta version... 1.34 I think my version is. Would you advise me to go use the Beta version?

Not really. While the beta's very much improved over 1.34, it's still a beta, which means you can get weird bugs and crashes sometimes, which sucks if you're fighting something at the time. If you do decide to upgrade to the beta, I advise making backups of all your session files and making sure you report any bugs you encounter.

Yes with caveats. The current beta is an RC1 release and addresses many of the issues that were present in version 1.34 and adds a host of new features. With that said it's still a BETA. If you want to give it a shot, the be sure to back up all your data first.

Personally I've been using it exclusively for my MUDding for quite some time now.

I'm pretty sure that this was working...

Check to see if you put the %1 in quotes? I used to have to do that a lot in zMUD, and that's one thing that changed in CMUD. If that doesn't work, use a REGEX trigger. I know those worked (I rarely don't use a REGEX whenever I need wildcards these days)
