Maybe make something for the CMUD pattern syntax that attaches a variable to a value right there in the pattern? maybe something like...

#trigger (or regex) trigger {^ you gain \d+:@exp: experience!}

So...

you gain 234 experience!

would set exp to 234

Try as standard trigger pattern to use &exp instead of @exp and see what happens Very Happy

.

Edit: I usually don't use the regex, but in the manual it is mentioned that in regex you can use (?Varname:exp) to do the same, where exp is a regex for the pattern to match the variable. See #REG.

using &variablename in a trigger pattern or (?varname:\w+) catch variable names in the pattern?

One of a few of the most useful of the help pages. Towards the bottom it explains &var

You can also use local variables with ($localvar:something) in both regex and normal triggers, where "something" is whatever you want it to capture.

I believe so, but I've never tried it. Have a go.
