I made a trigger that when you 'scan' it looks for:
*a small Shteran boy*-- a little to the *
Then sends: %<3>

The last * is a direction, so I'll move to where the mob is. The problem is when I scan it might match several lines, and I'll end up with, north, south, east. Being entered, instead of just north. Is there a way to tell the trigger to stop after the first match...or some other way to do this?

Change the "send to" to "send to script" and then put in the "send field"

Send "%3"
EnableTrigger "mytrigger", 0


Then name your trigger "mytrigger" (that goes in the Label field).

That will disable the trigger the first time it fires. Then you need to re-enable it, eg. on the alias that does the scan, or perhaps as soon as you enter a new room.
