Ok, our buff tracking system has been recently upgraded so that we can see the time left on our buffs with a command. I'm trying to create an alias to take all the buffs, store to a variable, replace all the long names to abbreviations, then report the Essential ones to the party channel so my group members can see how long my buffs have left by 'tweaking' me or if I tweak myself/initiate the alias.. It should look like this:

I suspect this is because the @tprots variable can have spaces in, and zMUD will require quotes "" around it inside functions to work in that case. Try using "@tprots" instead of @trprots inside your %replace functions.

No, that didn't work. It just makes the value of the variable tprots = @tprots. I think the problem might lie in the #add perhaps? It's the only thing that doesn't seem right at least once the editor messes with it when I save the trigger. It's key though that I make it "%1(%2) " with the space at the end, and it just reconfigures it like #add tprots { (%1), (%2)}

Actually, yes, that's a good point. Frankly I'm surprised it works in CMUD - it must be something CMUD's doing checking the type of the argument. Because there's a separate #add command that you're using here, where I think you mean to be using #additem.

Ok it works, just not quite how I would like but it works. I use cmud actively but I'm also active maintainer of a majority of the muds zmud trigger sets, so I try to keep things backward compatible as I make them. Too bad they're all too stingy to go get CMUD.

First I would suggest putting all the match and replacement information into a record variable.
#CLASS setweak
#VAR TProtList "Acid shield=GAcid|Armour of aether=AoA|Aura of hate=AoH|Aura of wind=GAsphyx|Beacon of enlightenment=Boe|Blessing of tarmalen=BoT|Blurred image=Blur|Clandestine thoughts=ClandT|Cold tolerance=ColdTol|Corrosion shield=LAcid|Displacement=Disp|Earth blood=EBlood|Earth skin=ESkin|Earth power=EPower|Energy channeling=LElec|Enhanced awareness=EAwa|Enrage=Enrage|Ether boundary=LAsphyx|Fire walking=FWalk|Flame shield=GFire|Flex shield=Flex|Floating=Float|Frost insulation=LCold|Frost shield=GCold|Force absorption=Fabs|Force shield=FS|Haste=Haste|Heat reduction=LFire|Heavenly protection=HProt|Heavy weight=HW|Infravision=Infra|Invisibility=Invis|Iron will=IW|Life link=Link|Lift of load=LoL|Lightning shield=GElec|Magic dispersion=LMana|Mana shield=ManaSh|Melodic embracement=MEmbr|Mesmeric threshold=MeTrsh|Minor protection=MinorProt|Mirror image=Mirrors|Pain threshold=PainT|Protection from good=PFG|Protection from evil=PFE|Psionic phalanx=GPsi|Psionic shield=PsiSh|Psychic sanctuary=LPsi|Quicksilver=QS|Regeneration=Regen|Repulsor aura=GMana|Resist disintegrate=RDisint|Resist entropy=REntro|Resist gaseous form=RGasForm|See invisible=SeeInvis|See magic=SeeMagic|Shield of detoxification=GPoison|Shield of faith=SoF|Shield of protection=SoP|Soul hold=SoulH|Soul shield=SS|Spell empathy=SpellE|Spider walk=SWalk|Toxic dilution=LPoison|Toxic immunity=TxcImm|Transmute self=Transm|Unpain=Unp|Unstable mutation=Mutate|Unstun=Us|Vine mantle=VMant|War ensemble=WarE|Water walking=WW"
#CLASS 0

Next change the trigger that captures this stuff:
#REGEX {^\| (@TProtList)\s\|(?:(\d+m)in| and |(\d+s))+\s\|} {#addkey tprots {%db(@TProtList,%1)} {%2 %3};#GAG} "setweak"

Finally change the display alias:
#ALIAS tcheckrep {p report %expanddb(@tprots," ",",")}

Oh, thats interesting. I guess that would help with future expansion.

Would that accommodate for something being in the pattern that isn't in the list? Doesn't look like it but I dunno about regex much.

You can also eliminate 'some' code by using #GAGON for the top part of the box and #GAGOFF for the bottom, that will eliminate triggers that just #GAG as well as all the #GAG's within the script.
