Recognizing Variables

Hello MUSHers!

So I'm having an issue.
What I'm trying to do is set a trigger to recognize a variable. Only way I can think is by using wildcards in the trigger.
(using picking herbs as an example)

Usually wildcards are used like this:

Trigger:

There are sixty batches of * here.

Send:

Send ("pick %1")

I want it to, rather than picking %1, pick a variable. So say I have a variable @target set to "witan". I want the trigger to see "@target" (in this case "witan")

So the output would be:

There are sixty batches of witan here.

Trigger would be:

There are sixty batches of * here.

And because the target is "witan", it would trigger. And if the target was not witan, it doesn't trigger.

Basically what I want is to script it so that the client recognizes "*" as "@target" or in this example "witan".

I'm not sure if it's possible or if there is another function I need to use. I've looked into it on the MUSHclient website, but know luck as I don't know much of the Lua jargon.

I don't know if any of that makes sense to you guys, but any help would be amazing.

Thanks,
Strex

That's pretty easy. You check "expand variables". You also need to make it a regexp so you can force the variable to be a capture. Like this:

---

Or, more simply, we don't need a wildcard because we know what the variable is. Thus this would do it:

Thanks!
