Hi, I am trying to parse a phrase from the MUD, and not sure how to do it. I wonder if someone could help me come up with the trigger. I am used to basic triggers, so if my client spits out:
"You need to get paint from the shed and give it to Boris by 4pm"
My trigger text is:
and in my send to script below I use:
top set my variables. I ignore the last *, I am not bothered about the time.
I have a more complicated one, and I don't know how to parse it.
My client spits out "I need you to get 4 green flowers and a navy blue jacket from the boat" and I want to store some of it in variables.
Now, I need to get the number of flowers for one variable, the color of the flowers (which may be 1 or 2 words, a hundred different color possibilities exist) for the second variable, the color of the clothing for the 3rd variable (again 1 or 2 words), and the clothing type (will be jacket, shirt, boots, or britches). But because some arguments are next to others, I don't know how to do this. If the arguments were seperated I could do it with my very basic trigger understanding, but I can't figure this one out.
Any help with how to phrase my trigger would be very appreciated.

SetVariable ("customer", "%3") top set my variables. I ignore the last *, I am not bothered about the time.
